Yesterday, tropical storm Hanna blew through town. Well, not really, we got some rain and a little wind, but she could have been much worse. But, we planned to hunker down in the house all day and thought of fun ways to keep The Roo from getting bored. As you're aware, the house is torn apart a bit right now as we undergo construction so we took the opportunity to give the blue couches a much needed vacuum. These couches normally reside in the living room and Baxter lays on the big couch and longingly looks out the window all day waiting for us to come home. Well, the result of this is that it's covered in dog hair....ick. So, we all, include Roo helped vacuum them clean. The Roo had so much fun with the upholstry attachment that he decided to nap with it, what, wouldn't you?!
After naptime, the first thing Roo said was, outside. And we explained to him that it was raining and we couldn't go out. We told him that if he sat at the table we could make a cake. He definitely had a blast baking. He's a good little helper too. Though he gets a bit messy, he is really good at stirring the ingredients together and making sure it tastes ok. The best part about this recipe is that it doesn't have any egg.
The best thing Roo said while baking was when daddy came to help him stir...."No Nate!" Yes, Roo has learned dada's first name and will sometimes call him by it. Mommy thinks it's funny. Daddy not so much :) The cupcakes were yummy and we all enjoyed them, Roo a bit more than the rest of us!
