A busy day!

This Saturday started like many other Saturdays. A list of hopeful accomplishments and a typical nap schedule. Mommy didn't get much of her list done, as is typical but she was happy to do meander through the day with her boys.

This morning was breakfast and playing with Caleb from 6:45 to 9:30. We also stopped over at the neighbors. They were having a garage sale. We found some things for cousin Kiri. Caleb showed his extraverted self at the sale. Finally, Caleb showed a few signs of being tired and went down for a nap. Then Mommy got the kitchen cleaned up and a donation of food put out on the step to go with the mail for "Stamp out Hunger." She made sure it wasn't expired (Auntie Krista:)) and upon looking at dates on some cans and boxes, had a few things to throw out.

Then Oma came over since she's leaving for a week to Colorado starting Mother's Day and we won't get to see her. When Caleb woke up, Oma was there. Mommy picked Caleb up from his crib and then he reached right for Oma with a big smile:)

So Oma and Caleb got some play time. For Mother's day Nana and Oma get to pick a picture that Aunt Greta  (password 04192011) took of me. Caleb loves looking at his pictures.

We went outside and enjoyed the sunshine too. Daddy was outside working on the yard. We opened up the sandbox for the first time! Woohoo! First Caleb enjoyed crawling on the lid.

Climber---no fear

Oma had to go and pack for her visit with Kiri, and Caleb and Mommy went inside. We had lunch. Meanwhile Daddy and Woody used the power sprayer, so we needed to be careful and stay inside. But Caleb wanted to be outside with the boys so we watched from the windows.

Caleb got pretty frustrated to be left out of the fun outside so he got determined to move things around on the inside, including Woody's leashes.

Then it was nap time again. And when Caleb woke up it was outside again. Caleb is Mr. Outside. If he can, he wants to be where he can get dirty:) So back in the sandbox for a little and then Daddy said, "Family bike ride?" Mommy said, "Sure!"

Caleb wanted a little snack break

When we got home from our bike ride we took the truck and Daddy's bike to Nicollet Bike Shop. Daddy decided his gears needed some tuning.

When we got home it was supper and playing some more! Then bath time!

And to end the day, Daddy had to move his truck in the driveway and Caleb helped! Even accidentally honked the horn that gave him some wide-eyes:)

What a wonderfully, busy Saturday!

That's what I call a good Miller Time!

**Mommy got a new camera for her birthday. Can you tell she likes using it?
 
Here's a video of Caleb's fun early this morning. We bought him the green chair last night, so this was his exploration of fun!
