Our next event is an oldie but a goodie....The Clothespin Drop. Now I must warn you this particular game only held his attention for maybe fifteen minutes (hey that was enough time for me to put in a load of wash, unload the dryer and start the folding process the part I hate the most) so no complaints from this Mom. 
However, it was time to get a little more creative so I taped up several sheets of paper to the side of our kitchen cabinets handed him the box of crayons and waited to see what masterpiece this artist would creative. (This was actually a Good Idea....so now I'm thinking of hanging a small chalkboard here so he can draw on it when every he feels like it.)
Finally, it's warm enough outside that we can take a walk to the playground down the street from our house. We took Tucker there about a two weeks ago and ever since then he has said to me everyday, "playground"? Needless to say I can not wait for warmer weather.
With night time around the corner it was time to start thinking about dinner. Something easy that we could eat on for more then one day....Chili. It's still cold here so it sounded pretty good after being outside for an hour or two (what better way to keep Tucker busy then giving him a mixing bowl and a whisk while I made dinner).
With food in our tummies and lots of energy left it was time to see what our little handyman could build...turns out he created a microphone and in several years he might be the next American Idol. 
Was this weekend a success....I think so! I may not have gotten the house completely clean or the laundry put away but I did have lots of FUN with Tucker & Jeff. And besides, isn't that what the weekends are all about?
