Countdown to baby

Since I have 3-5 more weeks until the new baby arrives (and around 2-3 weeks before my husband starts medical school), I have decided to make them count!  We have been doing a few fun activities and have more planned.  Our first activity was making Oobleck.  L really really got into it this time.  Last time he kind of played with it, dumped it out and was finished with it.  Not this time!  He really got a kick out of picking it up and letting it drip out of his fingers and onto the driveway!  He sat there forever playing in it.

This was the first time that my husband had experienced Oobleck, and he really loved it as well!  I think L and his daddy could have played in Oobleck all day.

Earlier today I broke out some play dough for a little down time.  L is really into putting things in bags lately (and later taking them out) so I made sure he had a freezer bag.  He really got a kick out of putting all the play dough in the bag bit by bit and carrying it around the house haha.

Later, dad came home from running errands and the REAL fun began!  We squirted a whole can of shaving cream into his small pool and I'm really not sure who had more fun on this one.  My husband and I had a small shaving cream war and L had a great time smearing shaving cream all over his easel, his slide, the grass, and eventually his sandbox.  It was pretty awesome.

Eventually I decided to just get in the pool and L followed me right in.  We had a blast together, smearing shaving cream on each other and generally just making a glorious mess.

When we finally finished playing with shaving cream, L decided to clean up.  He went straight for the water hose and had a blast spraying down his easel, slide, and pool.  Then he decided to come after me!  I snapped one shot before the water/mud wars began.  :)

Even though it is kind of sad in a way to be losing so much one on one time with L, I'm really excited to get baby J here and to have another little boy to join in on all the fun!  Today was great.
