Week in Review

This has been a great week. I wanted to post about a few things that happened this week that I thought were funny or I want to remember...

1. Lawson got her first gift from a "BOY" In her school bag on Tuesday was a McDonald's Spider Man Figurine from Zachary. He got it during the weekend, SAVED it UNOPENED ALL weekend for Lawson and gave it to her on Tuesday. Daddy is not very thrilled!

2. Wes loves the toilet!! Any time the toilet is open and he darts out eye sight- yep, he is playing in toilet water. NOTE TO SELF: Need to buy toilet locks!

3. Lawson asked me "Mommy, when are you going to let me change Wesley's diaper?" Like I am denying her or something. If I didn't fear for Wesley's safety I would let her.

4. Lawson is the best big sister!! (It makes my heart sing)

5. Wesley is a climber. I am afraid one day I will catch him hanging from the ceiling fan!!

6. I LOVE the adventures of motherhood!!

Have a great weekend!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2009

Here are my two little leprechauns this morning.

Also, go here if you want to do a flashback of one year ago today!!

Lastly, another walk down memory lane...15 years ago today I got my driver's license (that dates me). I will always remember that day because (1) it was on St. Patty's Day (2) how many kids do you know have to take their driver's license test in a Lincoln Towncar??? It was better then taking it in a Full-size Dodge Ram Van!! Oh memories!!

Yucky Day- Fun Solution

Monday was yet another yucky weather day. I had no desire to take two kids out for any type of outing so we made the most of the yucky weather. We had a picnic inside!! The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever to eat in the den rather then the kitchen. We did not eat anything out of the ordinary just PBJ, bananas, cheese crackers & milk, but you would of thought we went to Disney World. As soon as daddy came home Lawson told Daddy all about our 'cool' picnic.


Of course, Wes is happy anytime there is food around!! He can say "nana" for Banana. Lawson always says "Mommy he can say Nana" (I think that would make my mom very happy)

Morning at the Museum

Today we decided to go to the History Museum and see The Blackbeard Exhibit. The kids could care less about the exhibit but Daddy and I enjoyed it. It was a good way to spend a rainy morning.

Lawson was not in the "mood" for pictures but Wesley was!

Visit to the Dentist- Part 1

Today was our second visit to the dentist. Link to first Dentist appointment here. Lawson has been very excited about going to the dentist (she gets just as excited to go to the doctors). She was so excited this morning she asked to wear purple because she remembered the dentist loves purple too and she wanted to match!! She really has the best memory. I am thinking she is destined to be a doctor or a dentist...what do you think??

Lawson even wanted to help- so she got to hold Mr. Thirsty!! I think we should have gotten a 10% discount!! Great patient, excellent teeth and no cavities... EXCEPT...


Wes was just hanging out!! He liked all the cute hygienist and was waving and doing his best flirting with them!! All the ladies just loved him!!


One more picture of the great patient. She even got more purple gloves!!

We have a referral to see a Pediatric Dentist to start working on Lawson's finger sucking!! It is doing some damage to her palate now and we need to do something before it really costs mommy and daddy thousands of dollars too fix. Next week I will call and make an appointment. So today is Part 1 of our dentist visits. I wonder if she is going to be just as excited the next time??? Stay Tuned...

Spring Fashion Addiction

I have a confession.... I currently have 2 addictions....

#1) Buying hair bows for my little girl (lots more not pictured) I really need to learn to start making these things. I love them all!!! Have you noticed most days Miss L is wearing a hair bow? This is the one thing we can seem to agree on!

#2 Buying my son clothes!! Who says boy clothes aren't as fun as girl's clothes?? Every time I turn around I am buying clothes for Wesley not Lawson?? Maybe because this is really my first time buying him clothes (thanks to a very generous friend & family), or because I love preppy little boy clothes, or because my daughter has sense of fashion all her own. Whatever the reason I am loving the spring/summer clothes for boys. I have also bought some adorable rompers for him and we have lots of Collins' old rompers for the summer. He truly is going to be one the best dressed little boy this summer!!!

Does it really get any cuter??

Have no fear Lawson will have clothes this summer. I am actually making some of them. The outfits that are seer sucker or plaid- Guess who is going to have matching shorts??? You guessed it my little man!! I love it when a boy and a girl have coordinating outfits. Maybe I will make me a matching skirt....okay that is really "cheesy" I will stick with just the kids!!

Slight Miscommunication

At night Wesley has become a big reader (in the sense that he likes being read too). His favorite book is Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes Hardback version. Any other book I try to read is quickly tossed to the floor. I could read this book 100 times at night and Wes would want more. So I take this opportunity to instill the sign language for "more" and "please."

For "More" you take your hands together like pictured and bring together

(sorry for picture, best I could find)

For "please" it is like pictured.

Easy enough right?

Wesley seemed to master both of these motions and it purpose. However, when he wants more books he says "more" correctly, then for "please" he rubs my chest!! TOTALLY CRACKS ME UP!!! Just a slight miscommunication- or he is really trying to work me!!

Had to post a picture of my little guy after a picture of some stranger!!

Another Day at the Park

Went to another local park today. Lawson really wanted to stay home today because her baby doll was sick. After a little bit of compromising we were off to the park.

Notice 2 things in this picture...(1) choice of clothes (2) Baby dolls came with us for some "fresh air" I bet you are wondering what I won? We went to the park with no fussing or crying.


Lawson and her baby dolls. To prove to me how sick her baby doll was the rabbit "threw-up", then we had to take her temp, give her a cold cloth, and then we had to take her to the doctors. Not at the house doctor or at the park doctor, but had to stop at another facility (empty house in the neighborhood) get out have the "doctor" (me) check up on her, and give Lawson a bill. It was a very busy day!!


LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! Hi Little Guy!!


Lawson and Wesley having fun!!

Lawson being Lawson!! Love you babe!!!

Wonderful Weekend Outside

Since last Friday we have spent almost every waking moment outside. It has been WONDERFUL!! 80 degrees, no humidity, PERFECT!! Here are some pictures over the last 3 days. It has been nice not having to carry Wesley every where or worry about him crawling outside, however, we have another issue...he is all BOY!! He doesn't walk he RUNS everywhere. Wesley has little boy knees now with nice little scrapes. I realized this weekend we have no little boy bandaids only Princess, Hello Kitty, or My Little Pony band-aids. So Wes is sporting Hello Kitty Band-aids right now. Oh the drama of being a little brother to a very girly girl!!

Friday we met up with the Spesshardt's and the Lails at a local park. The kids and mom's as normal had so much fun!!

So here is my girly girl!!


Wesley was wide open and this park was wonderful because her really didn't need much assistance from me (although I promise I was with him every step of the way whether he wanted me there or not)

Wes and Lawson. Lawson thrilled to be the driver of course Wes would have it the other way if he could!!

Now this is fun!!

Lawson being the helpful little girl she is helped push Holden


Saturday...

This is Lawson telling me " Mommy don't take pictures of me I don't look cute"

Wesley and Chewy really bonded this weekend

A happy little boy!

He looked so cute in his basketball shorts!! He is wearing a bib because he is drueling lots again! MORE TEETH!! Check out his shirt above.

Sunday... Lawson being ever so helpful again

Chewy and Wesley playing ball

He shoots.....he scores.... March Madness has begun!

"Mommy that ball is too little, I am ready for the real thing!!"

I do not want this time to pass to quickly, but I really look forward to the day to watch my little boy (and girl) play basketball!! {giddy}

Well, today we are off to another park. Yippee!! I wonder when Pullen Park's rides opens? I love this time of year and feel so blessed to home with the kids to enjoy this time with them.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane....

No, it's SUPER WESLEY!!!

Darting through the night in his very fashionable cape...


Looking for victims to save...


Rescuing innocent dolls from the wrath of a 3 year old!!


Wesley has saved the day!!!

We love bath night!!
