Playing outside

Now that we have a patio that is safe for kids to play on I often leave the door open and let him go in and out as he pleases during the day. I usually put one of his toys out there for him to play with as he watches the other kids running around on the grass. Here's a couple pictures of Benjamin playing with his blocks and stacking them on our oh-so-cool BBQ.

I hope that this summer we'll be able to make our patio a fun place for Benjamin to play. Right now we've got a little table and two chairs out there besides the BBQ, and I know we're planning on getting Benjamin his own little-man-sized chair and I have a little plastic pool that we'll get put together as soon as it's hot. I thought a little picnic table would be fun and functional, and low and behold Kmart has this one on sale this week for only $18.99.

I think pb & j sandwiches taste much better when eaten while sitting on a plastic bench outside, don't you? I'll let you know what we end up adding to our patio this summer...
