Much to his delight, Filson has been able to be outside playing most of today & yesterday. He went to a birthday party yesterday afternoon & then we had some of our friends over for a cookout last night. We took advantage of all the guys being over to finally get the slide portion of our swingset moved into place. With great help from the uncles & cousins, the swingset had been moved into our yard from our neighbor's at Thanksgiving, but it had never been moved into it's place & put in the ground so it could be used. After months of wondering why he had a slide in his backyard he couldn't touch, Filson is thrilled to be able to play on it & has probably been down the slide 100+ times since last night. Today John came across his old matchbox cars & smurfs collection & pulled them out for the little guy. It might as well be Christmas at our house, he's so excited with all the "new" toys!

Playing outside, matchbox cars and a new slide...that does constitute a fun weekend for a little boy! I laughed when you mentioned the smurf collection because I saw them at Target yesterday! Apparently they are back in style! So glad you are having good weather, as we are getting snow today...ahh Iowa!
Smurf collection!!!!! Love it! Yes, all the 80's stuff is back! My Little Pony's, Pound Puppies, the whole shebang. Can't wait to see Filson in action on his new slide!!!
well first of all I am VERY jealous of Filson wearing shorts, as we have snow covered yard! Sounds like Filson will get a lot of use out of his new slide! It sounds like he has broke in the new slide. Boy, John had quite the collection of matchbox cars! How fun for Filson.
The weather looks great there! Filson looks like he loves his new slide!
All I can say is SMURFS. Love it! :)
The slide will be his hangout all spring/summer. P LOVES the slide!
