Things I don't want to forget....favorite Harrison quotes

"Awesome... Harrison!!!!!" with his hands up in the air as he jumps from the ottoman to the couch and back

Singing ABCs when we tuck him into bed, followed by row row row your boat, then ABCs, row row, etc.

Amber: "Harrison, what do you want for dinner tonight?"

Harrison: "PIZZA!!!! FRENCHFRIES!!!!!!" (without fail)

"Round and Round!!!!" (explaining what he is doing when we get him from nursery every week and see him rolling around on the floor and trying to convince others to follow)

"FOR ME??" when he convinces me to give him one of our left over valentine candy hearts. Too cute.

"Make. Balentine. WaWa!!!" while playing with water and bubbles in the sink (a favorite thing)...I think this comes from talking about valentines and making valentines, or something..

"Nicker Noonles!!!!" (snickerdoodles)

"Harrison go? Harrison go??" When he is "hiding" and wants us to find him, particularly when daddy has him thrown over his shoulder.

"No, mine (fill in the blank here with anything and everything that someone else has) TOO!!!"

"Flubberby!!!" (butterfly)

"Come on mommy." (e.g. stop doing what you're doing and play with me NOW!!)

"MOOK! MOOK!!!" (milk--my favorite is when he does this in the middle of the night...must have milk NOW!!)

"Bubbles...COMING!!!!" (in the bathtub as it starts to fill up with bubbles)

"Bye bye mommy, wight back."

And of course, when mommy and daddy just aren't paying attention... "Aw-burn!!! Cowy!!! Aw-burn!!! Cowy!!!!" (Amber, Cory)

And I'm sure there are many many more--I just love watching his imagination and personality come out everyday :)

What did YOU do this weekend?

Saturday we took Harrison to the park by our house so he could try the big swings for the first time. He loved it and did pretty well until he tried to get off and face planted...oops...
And someday maybe he will learn to look at the camera

Monday we took advantage of the federal holiday (cory was also off) and went down to the zoo. It was a little rainy but not too cold, plus we skipped out on the $15 parking and scored an awesome metered spot right in front of the zoo (and the meter was even broken-SWEET!)...later we went out to lunch and also got street parking in dupont--the zoo was fun, but the great parking in the city was AMAZING :)

PANDA!!! (Harrison's favorite animal was not the panda but was definitely the tiger....that definitely was not out..nonetheless he's been talking about tigers ever since...)
Cory's really mad about that tiger...just kidding...not sure what that face is all about...maybe it was when he made the mistake of mentioning that there was a popcorn stand and Harrison had to have some
checkin out the panda with his monkey coat and monkey leash
It's hard to see but there were like 6 baby lions that are playing on top of that "mountain" it was pretty fun to watch

Monday night around 5 p.m. I realized we had whipped cream and strawberries that needed to be used. So of course Harrison and I had to make this It was as amazing as you would expect any cake with three sticks of butter and a package of cream cheese to be :)

(I realize I look incredibly tired in this picture---having a two year old wears me out but it is SO worth it!! (you'll also notice that harrison insisted on getting one of his forks out to "stir" [or taste] the cake batter...))

COVERS!!!!

Playing in the covers on mommy and daddy's bed is Harrison's absolute FAVORITE game lately. He wants to play ALL the time. We hide from bears and elephants (and daddy), he crawls to the edge and falls off, he attacks us hiding underneath, etc. ALL day! Quite the imagination on this one :) Today while Harrison was trying to delay his nap for an hour or so I got some pictures (I think the "in motion" ones really capture the craziness of the "covers" experience)
