Here's what we've been up to the past couple of weeks...

Will found this little kid's suitcase at a garage sale a few weeks ago and LOVED it, so we forked over the $3 or whatever it was and let him have it. Oh my goodness. It is his most prized possession. He dragged it all over the farmer's market and he likes to put all his toys in it and drag it around the house. Isn't it funny what kids like?

Some Northwestern drama students were doing a Dr. Seuss play in the park and we took a picnic for Will and met up with friends there. Afterwards they had face painting, bubbles, and other stuff for kids to do. Will had a great time!

Yes, his trusty suitcase came with us:)

I love this face!

Will is into making "pirate ships." This started out as piling pillows all around and hiding in them...

And them somehow progressed to finding every available object he can get his hands on and positioning it around the room in some order that makes sense to him. And you can't dare touch any of it, because it is his "pirate ship!"

Why telling Will to smile for the camera isn't always the best idea...

Will is going to summer camp through his school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. He has the BEST time! They start out at a park down the street from his school, and then they walk back to the school where they have an outside area set up with sprinklers, a pool, bicycles and cars to ride, a sand and water table, an arts and crafts area, big blocks, etc. When I go pick him up they are playing little kid music and Will is always having so much fun! I am so thankful for things like this. Here he is at the park with his friends Wyatt, Elise, and Arden...

Liza sleeping as I strolled Will to camp (which wasn't on purpose - Matt had accidentally taken both sets of keys with him to work and the walk nearly killed me - I haven't exercised in quite awhile!)

And finally here is Will and daddy having some fun outside in the pool. (And in case you are wondering, Will won't get in the pool if it has more than about an inch of water in it!)
