Catching up...

Day : 138 - 145

 He just loves it up there. 

 The best part of a cat in the hat show is meeting the actor afterwards. He loves to hear that you loved his performance. ;) 

 Big shoes to fill. 

 Going to school. 

 Oh to be free.

 When playing Mario Bros. you need to know how to jump.

 In his happy place.

 The task at hand: Climb the tree. He did it all by himself!

Face painting and a BBQ. 

Week long sickness...

Day 130 - 137

 Mother's day, I wanted a pic with all my kids but I could only catch this little monster. 

 Round 2 or 3 or maybe 4 of nasal doom. Heaven help us.

 The red nose. 

 There is a ukulele photo contest and I tried out my remote control app on my phone. 

 Grandma saved this little bird. A Bohemian waxwing. We took him to a shelter to get help and hopefully released back into the wild.

 After a day of rain, a sky full of white clouds.

Everybody is sick! The sick bed.

Birthday Boy...

129/365

Fun filled birthday. We went to the dinosaur museum, saw some friends who stopped by to say hi, then we had a fun party. He had a wonderful time. 

Last week...

124 - 128/365

Laundry day

Movies with my bestie and Spock.

Birthday candy card from his primary teacher. He's was so happy.

If you can wake up a pirate, you do.

That one time my mom made a donkey pinata into a dinosaur pinata. Luckily the boy approved. 

Sunday Exhaustion...

123/365

Sunday exhaustion. He passed out during scripture study and I wished that I had thought of it first. I am trying hard to love Sunday. Someday I will get there. Until then there are caramels in the pantry, and I know that because I locked myself in there for a time out and helped myself to a few. Yeah, Sunday and I are working on our relationship. We need counseling.

On the daily...

122/365

When I got them up this morning, they wanted to check and make sure it was morning time. 

Ready to greet the day!

"Mom, I'm going to sing you a song."

*struuuuum*

"Camouflage! It's a pretty short song."

I am doing a series of their favorite things. I love that she picked out this whole outfit. It makes me feel like we are kindred spirits. I would like to think I would wear tu-tus and chucks on the regular, if I were cuter. 

A little past due...

Day 117 - 121

 They built their own camper trailer. 

 Best seat in the house

 Or maybe it's this seat?

I asked him to pose with his favorite things. His Mickey collection. He has a favorite though, the smallest one. We lose him from time to time and bed time is a misery. The other night we couldn't find him and he told me, "Find him mama, he's just a little guy." Luckily, we did. 

First of May, first swim, and with out of town cousins to boot!
