A little everything

This afternoon, Josh and I baked cookies and made Special K bars and Jax (sort of) helped. While we mixed the cookie dough, he cooked with his wooden spoon, mixing bowl, and water. When that got boring he did one of his new favorite activities ~ stealing my dishtowels and walking around with them either hanging around his neck or over his face. He does the same thing with paint shirts at preschool. We shared the chocolate frosting for the Special K bars with him, and not surprisingly he loved it. :)





The other day at school, Jax discovered this pirate ship. It has tiny little wheels on its bottom and Jaxon is convinced it's a ride on toy. So he stands over it and uses the sails as handlebars and cruises all over the place.
Labor Day weekend, we went to Lakeville to see Grandpa Jim and Grandma Linda. While we were there, we went to the MN State Fair, Nickolodeon Universe, and helped celebrate Aunt Shannon's 40th birthday. The train in the picture below is one of Jaxon's new favorite toy ~ we found a booth at the State Fair that sold adorable wood toys. The man who makes them is retired and spends his free time making them. We picked up a few for him and promised we would be back next year. Probably a good thing since Jax has worn the paint off the wheels of this train already! Next year, though, we want the bulldozer and the BIG train!
