Saturday farmers market

We enjoyed a little farmera market shopping saturday morning and then cooled off inside barnes and noble while doing a little book shopping... The envent if the day was when you pulled up your jumper in the middle of the farmers market square and peed. Yep. It happened. 

Playdate

You had a playdate last week with a little boy named logan- his mom and i use to work together and thought itd be fun ti get together. You two had a blast! Then that night you learned to use apencil  sharpener! You were pretty impressed by what it did! (And the amount of dirty that you are in those pics makes me quite happy 😄)

Building a playground

I bought you a used swing set that was in great shape but had room for improvement- so improving it is was we are doing! Pawpaw and grandmommy came to help rebuilding part of the a-frame for the swing support and then we were able to attach the swing arm back to it allowing you to use it for the first time. You were so excited! I began lining our laundry shelves and you found them to be a fun hideaway- until you got mad and decided to "hide" from me. You forgot to hide all of you, however. It was way too cute...

Almost 3?!

Today we took some pictures in the backyard for your 3rd bday invitations- and we had some fun just taking pics of you on your new swing set too! You said so sweetly, "i love my new park, mommy!" ❤️ you made sure to christen it by peeing off the top as boys do- if you have a daughter, dont judge. If you have a son- hes probably already done this!! (and i included a photo of us playing trains today in your new thomas dressup costume!)

Homemade peach pie!

"Im 2. And next ill be 3 on august 25th. Then ill be 4. Then ill be 5. When i grow up and become a big boy, when im 5, ill be a pink flower."  Since i last reported on our new love for the  movie "ice age", we are stilll playing our "pink flower" game where im the venus fly trap and i squeeze him so tightly and he pretends to feel tortured until he breaks free by cutting one of my two "cords" like on ice age. And apparently now he aspires to be one himself when he grows up which i absolutely love!

 Tonight he listened to a song play on a wind up gift my mom got me as a teenager and said "this song is so beetyful. I love it".such a sweet sensitive side ( to off set his sometimes rowdy and aggressive behavior). 

I got a cut on my leg toda and it was hurting- i said ouch this is burning! p says let me see. Looks closely. And rubs his watermelon all over it. I said oh. Wow. Thats a lot better now. Then he says "immmmm the doctor!"

We also made homemade peach pue tonight- my first pie- and my first homeade pie at that! P impatiently awaited it and helped me prep in the meantime before baking it! We enjoyed it happily, hot out of the oven, with vanilla ice cream!! It was a hit! It called for decorative sugar on top and we had some in blue so p was very excited to add that on!

Cruisin'

How cool is this guy? I cant make this stuff up! He also requested tattoos to be like uncle charles. After we put the temp. tattoos on that grandmommy got him he said, "this is what you look like after you get a tattoo" and made the faces in the photos! ( of course his tattoo is of- what else- a mammoth! Ice age nod yet again!)

In other news: He strappd on skates for the first time at a consignment sale, rode a skateboard and mastered a scooter like he does it for a living!
