He's a boy, it will only get worse

Happy belated Labor Day! We spent the day going to the Lewis and Clark monument and Big Lake Park. It was a nice way to spend some time together. Brad had to get some work done in the morning and he got home while Donovan was still napping so we watched an episode of 24, season 2 before getting out of the house.
The view at the monument was pretty awesome. There aren't many places in Iowa where you can see that far unless you are in a building.
We even got to do some hiking, even though we weren't really prepared for it. I think we are going to head back over there when the leaves change and go a little farther on the trail.
When we got home we had some breakfast for dinner, but Donovan got into the fridge and escaped with the yogurt. He took it down the hallway and dropped it, creating an awesome mess. Brad made him eat the parts that weren't touching the floor before he cleaned it up. It reminded me of the Friends episode when Chandler and Rachel steal that cheesecake and when it falls on the ground, they eat the parts that aren't touching the floor and Joey walks up the stairs and looks at them, pulls out a fork and says, "so what are eating?" That was a good one, Brad and I both had a good laugh about it when I brought it up.
While we were on the Trail at the monument, Donovan fell down and scraped his arm pretty bad. This is his, "I have an ouchy" face. I wasn't too worried about it, I'm sure he'll come home with plenty of scrapes and bruises when he's older.On Wednesday, we had a ward party and we found a way to keep Donovan and Mason close to us, and entertained without having to take them on the playground. They had a blast taking turns with the ball and the bat. So much fun that Donovan didn't want to leave. We had a pretty major meltdown when I told him we had to go home.Cute boys, they have so much fun together when they share!I bought The Beatles Rockband the day after it came out so we have a new awesome game to play. For those of you who don't know, my dad loves The Beatles. There are very few CDs of theirs he doesn't own. I remember taking trips down to Cedar City listening to The Beatles, Nena, or B-52's (yes, my father has varied taste in music, I think I inherited that). Needless to say, I LOVE The Beatles and I love all the songs on the game!

I-dub is still undefeated. They were in Kansas City this weekend and won both games. Brad said they played "poopy", but they beat some decent teams! Donovan and I have been trying to enjoy ourselves while he is gone so we don't get depressed. Yesterday I skipped Donovan's nap and made some linguine with clam sauce (Brad hates seafood so I try to make it when he's gone). Donovan went to sleep at 7:30 and I watched a movie and ate cookie dough and went to bed at 10:30, it was great. Today we did some shopping and running around, took a nap together, went to dinner, got some ice cream, and watched Madagascar. He went to sleep about 10 minutes ago, so I get to have about an hour of alone time before Brad gets home. I'm excited for them to have a home game next week!
