A Big Box O' Benny

Tia had to cancel today, and I had a super busy morning at work. Balancing Benny entertainment with pressing work demands was stressful, but luckily Benny is awesome at making his own fun. The house was covered in stickers & yogurt, and I'm pretty sure I was the only person on the conference call changing a diaper but we made it through.

Toward the end of the morning, Benny was pretending that the blue crate was a car. When this picture was taken he was playing with his slinky (thanks Tracey!) and told me that he was in the little hot pool like the big kids.

Thanks Easter Bunny!

We had a lot of fun decorating easter eggs! Benny didn't really understand how to put them gently in the dye, and thought it was hysterical to chuck them in the cups and make the dye splash. Crazy guy.

We had a great time on Saturday hiking in the woods, and at the end of the hike Daniel broke off and hid the easter eggs he had stashed in his coat. Benny was super excited to find them, and lucky to have blitz to help him hunt.

there's a hole in my dog park!

Benny and Blitz found this hole and spent 15 minutes playing in it -- they would have spent 4 hours if I had let them.

I miss the convenience of the field right around the corner, but having to take blitz to the dog park gets us out on adventures. And, now that we've found the "New Dog Park" that is not too far, or too muddy, or too busy, it makes the whole thing a lot more fun for all of us.

And, Benny loves it. Tonight he fell asleep asking for more new dog park.

Benny insisted on wearing his tie to the dog park. He was being super insane and ran into the lake and fell face first in to the water. I took off his coat, and luckily he was wearing tights so I peeled his soaking jeans off him for the walk back to the car. In all the chaos, we lost the tie -- I can only imagine what people thought about finding a tie at the dog beach!

We're going to give this another shot. Benny does at least 6 amazing things a day and I want you all to be able to keep up with his discoveries and adventures.
