Can I get a frog wind up over here?

With my new schedule Joshua's bathtime partner most nights will be Momma and typically once I get home I'll catch them just finishing up the bath and this is usually my greeting..A gift from Grandma Gale and Grandad included three windup critters (frog, turtle and dolphin) that wind up and do their various techniques to cruise around in the water. Joshua has a full understanding of how these suckers work and oftentimes Dadda is the winder..even when solo in the tub.
Though he doesn't take solo baths too often this series of shots makes us tempted to do more (I kinda dug Josee's caption style posting so I'm gonna steal if from her..since I'm pretty sure she stole it from Jenna in the Blanche Neige Blog anyhow ;))

Here's the windup...

...and the wave makin' pitch!

And of course the attempt angelic look afterwards that swings a bit more to the mischievous lil' devil side as water drips from the walls
We're 2 out of 3 days down on a long weekend, the first time we've had a few days together as a family in a while. Great use is being made of the time with lots of visits and pictures and stories (including a *very* stimulating visit to Poppa and Grandma's where Joshua rough housed with pretty much anyone willing to go toe to toe with him) so we're capping things off with a nice relaxing day at home Monday. Mamie will also be stopping by to help with the garden so here's hoping the weather stays nice so a nice stroll can be part of the visit.

Hope those who have the extra day tomorrow take advantage and enjoy the free time!
