A fun day

We spent yesterday at an indoor play place. We had so much fun! His favorite activity was the train table.


Where, oh where did these big blue eyes come from???????? They melt my heart!

Baby Jesus' story

According to Parker, this is the story of baby Jesus.

"Baby Jesus had a farm. Baby Jesus and donkey. Baby Jesus and cow. Baby Jesus and donkey."

A conversation with Daddy

As we got Christmas decorations down from the attic, here is the conversation Parker had with Phillip.
Parker: " Daddy, you climbin' to the top of the steps? I'm so proud of you! I've got a special surprise for you. Daddy, it dark? Are you scared? Let's get this done!"

Happy Thanksgiving!

A conversation with Scout

"You can sit by me. You can sit right there."


"Scout likes spaghetti with regular cheese on it."

(FYI-Regular cheese is shredded cheddar)

Quirks

This boy loves cars. He loves to drive them around, he loves to line them up, he loves to park them in make-shift garages. He loves to take them to bed with him, to the store with him, etc.

Happy Birthday to ??

According to my birth certificate, I had a birthday last weekend. According to my 2 year old, he had a birthday last weekend even though his birth certificate cites May 20th as his actual date of birth.


Who was supposed to be watching me?

I'm pretty sure there were 3 adults in the room when this happened.

4 am

This is what we woke to at 4 am. A sweet little two year old boy riding into our bedroom on his Elmo airplane. Lights flashing, music blaring. He rode it all the way from his bedroom and came in for a landing across the house.

The county fair



Let's just say we should have sprung the extra cash and gotten the wrist band......He could have stayed on that car ride all night. Too bad we didn't get a picture of the massive fits, (yes, fits plural) he threw when I (not Phillip who stood off to the side and acted like he didn't know us) had to remove him.
He loved the pigs at the 4-H petting zoo. The sweet old man in charge even let him get in the pen with the baby pigs. So sweet.

A new stage

 After about the 7th time Parker crawled out of his bed last night, we decided it was time to convert it to a toddler bed. He seems so excited....

I wonder how often we'll walk in and find this? 


When Phillip asked him what he was doing out of his bed last night, he said, "I go to Mommy's bed." Phillip also asked him if he was scared, and he said, "I not scared." He went on to explain to his daddy that it was a "trick" he was doing.

Helping Daddy

Some peace and quiet

This is where I found Parker...he was trying to enjoy his chocolate cookie without having to fight Tulip for it.

An attempt to catch up....

Summer's over...as you can tell from the lack of posts lately. Not only have I gone back to work, I've switched to an assistant principal, so I've put in some longer hours over the past few weeks. The other excuse I have is that I've switched computers.....
Anyway, I'm not going to try to document the entire last month, but here are some highlights.

More fun with Babe

A few "babe" quotes from yesterday...
While waiting outside Dr. Fulks office for Babe to get finished, Parker started yelling, out of the blue I might add, "Babe, where are you? Babe! Where are you, Babe?"

After a small discipline issue..."Babe, 'dop 'pankin' me."
And one of my favorites..."That's my Babe!"

Introducing Babe!

See the big guy on the right? That's Babe. Apparently I call him Babe a whole lot because that's now what Parker calls him.

 Babe is a lot of fun. Especially when you've been with your mommy all morning and you're tired of her. Babe's even better because he does exactly what Parker tells him to do like, "Sit right down." and "Cheese. I want to cheese!"
 But we don't appreciate Tulip trying to get into the "cheese" with he and Babe.

Fun with cousins



We've kind of made a summer tradition of Lily coming to "keep" Parker with Gigi. This is the 3rd summer she's come up with Mom to help out. This year Abby got to join in the fun. They were so good! The girls had him using the potty-no accidents at all that day! I can't wait until they're old enough to stay for a week or longer!
Whenever Will learns to sleep through the night (consistently) he can come, too!

Shaving Cream fun!




Just add a few drops of food coloring to the shaving cream and have fun! Don't worry, it rinses right out of clothes. We got the water hose out after and had fun with that, too!

I love...


This sweet puppy dog....



This sweet two year old who can be found quietly reading a book. He'll stop in the middle of playing, grab a book, and sit down to read it.


I love big blue eyes and jon-jons.


And I really love these two boys. Their smiles explain why.
