Fall Weekend

This weekend we spent some family time outside. Saturday we packed a lunch and went to a park. Clark went down the slide (a number of times) and then tried out some classics -- the horse swings, teeter totter, and sand box digger. He really enjoyed using the levers on the digger and picking up and dumping out sand.

After lunch and play we went to the DeMoss Family Pumpkin Farm in Gilbert. Clark had to thump some of their pumpkins too, he helped pick out some nice mini pumpkins and gourds to use in decorations around the house. While there he also had fun looking at the tractor and visiting the animals including: sheep, chickens and pigs (really liked the pigs).

This week has been great when it comes to food preparation. Mom and dad gave me a stand for Clark for my birthday -- it works great! Clark asks to get up now to help us when we're at the counter and it saves on a lot of tears that I used to get when I worked at the counter and he couldn't see. Sunday I made a tomato/cucumber salad -- as you can see Clark was eating tomatoes about as fast as I was cutting them up to put in the bowl. He has also helped dad wash some dishes at the sink.

Sunday afternoon Cortney was able to come out and babysit so Alan and I could finally go see the new Batman movie. The movie was great! However, Cortney was so excited to play with Clark and then he took a three hour nap -- so not a lot of play time.

Monday and today Clark and I started a major sorting/cleaning project. We are going through all of his clothes and sorting them by size to store them better and have a better idea of what we have for the next little Spencer. Clark likes to help throw the clothes in the new storage bags and resort the piles!
