101 Ways to Play With a Clothes Basket

Okay. We have been moving things around in our house since we took it off of the market. I bought little clothes baskets for upstairs since we don't have room for our "cart" anymore. I had taken a load downstairs, and emptied the basket. Dakota then started using his imagination. He loads his cars in it, sits in it, puts it on his head, throws it, tries to put it on Mom or Dads head, uses it as a helmet when he's riding on Dads back, and put clothes in it that have already been folded. Ohhh the possibilities are endless. Enjoy these pictures of Jassen and Dakota "horsing" around this day.

We Love Tennis!

For the last couple of months we have spent just about every Saturday and Sunday at the tennis courts. The three of us enjoy going and getting out of the house. We take a few toys for Dakota to play with, but it never fails he is soon bored and looking for something else. He has found bugs, leaves, rocks, and sticks. This past Sunday he found a branch and was telling us he found a stick. Then Jassen had to be his creative self and he held it up to Dakota's head and told him he looked like a dear. I then told him Kota looked like the dear in Open Season. So then Dakota said "Look, I'm a deer." We got a kick out of it.
Poor Dakota has been hit or almost hit 3 times by the tennis ball. He hasn't yet understood he needs to stay out of the green rectangle while Mommy and Daddy are playing. We've really enjoyed our outings lately. But they will be short lived with the fall and rain that have come into our little corner of the world.
