Happy Belated Birthday CP!

Happy Belated 4th Birthday to my first born. Hard to believe it has been 10 days since his 4th Birthday, yet even harder to believe that he has been making us laugh for 4 years! Happy Birthday to my big boy, try to slow down and not grow up to fast, this momma can't take it!

Summertime Fun

So we had big plans of going to the pool this morning after my morning work out but the weather decided not to cooperate and we had to scrap our original plan.


Instead we came home expecting to have movie day because it was cloudy and a little rainy.


Wouldn't you know that the minute we finished up our preplanned lunch at the pool that the sun came out. Lucky for us we have a great back yard and we set up some water fun outside.


Not quite the same as the pool but it will do in a pinch when you have two little boys who are very eager to play outside in the water!

Sewing!

So remember when I showed you this little project I was working on well...


It eventually turned into this with lots of patience on my part.


And then to this after I started to gain some confidence.


And finally it is all pieced together and I am quite pleased with the way my first fully smocked and sewn together outfit came together.


And this little boy couldn't look much cuter in his new Monkey outfit made especially for him by his momma!

Brothers!

On a hot day in May what could be better then spending some outside time swinging on the porch swing.

Sharing an orange that mommy so graciously gave up for two little boys, lucky for me we had more cause mommy was loving her orange!

Along with a giant bottle of water that again was mommy's and she was able to negotiate away from two thirsty little boys when they were offered their very own bottles.

What could be better you ask? I think spending some good quality playing time with your brother is way better then the swing, the orange or even the nice cool bottle of water on this hot day. These boys truly love each other and I just love to watch Charlie show Coleman the way and intern watch Coleman follow everything that Charlie does. Nothing could be better then brothers!

Rainy Day Fun!

It has either been super cloudy here or very rain for the past few days and my biggest boy has been missing his outdoor time very much. So I thought what better way to spend the afternoon while little brother napped away inside then out in some puddles splashing around!

 I had promised earlier in the morning that if it did indeed rain and there were puddles to splash in that we would venture out after quiet time for a little good quality puddle jumping in his fireman rain boots and jacket. After a minor set back, with a dog who decided to dart out the door, this little boy had him self a grand old time. We started out in the front, but quickly realized we just couldn't find the right puddles for this four year old to jump in, they were just to small!

We then ventured to the back yard, where he found the rain spout and decided it was a great place to use as a ramp for all his diggers and trucks. This went on and on for a few minutes.

And then for a few minutes longer before I encouraged him to explore the back yard a little more. We usually get a nice river running through our back yard when we get a good down pour and yesterday we had just this.

It didn't take him to long before he found the French Drain and was in heaven, not only was it a nice big puddle but it was full of some nice muddy water perfect for jumping into. He is just about ready to take off for the great splash down!

 Look at that form, he landed perfect and I know you can't see his face but he was grinning from ear to ear and loving every second of playing in the puddle.

 He continued to jump in this nice and big puddle for a while longer before we heard some thunder and decided it was best to venture in to get dry and watch a movie and eat some popcorn. I have a feeling that as long as there is no thunder or lighting I may make this an on going adventure for those rainy days when I just want my boy to have a little good old fashioned fun outside!

Spring Break Catch Up!

We were in need of a change of scenery and what better time to head to Chattanooga for a mini vacation then over Spring Break. My parents had just returned from Ireland and had not seen the boys in quite some time so the boys and myself ventured to Chattanooga for a quick visit.

While there, we decided to play tourist for a few day, so my mom and I took the boys to the Creative Discovery Museum to play one morning and both boys had a blast. There was great stuff for both boys to do and I think they both had fun exploring all the exhibits, especially since they were different the McWane.

Charlie even got to show off his muscles by pulling himself up in the stationary chair, I will have to say I was quite impressed by how well he did, I should really have more faith in my boy and his athletic ability!

The next day we ventured to the Tow Truck Museum and Hall of Fame, yes you read that right there is indeed a Tow Truck Museum and Hall of Fame and it is located in Chattanooga! From the looks of the picture below, Charlie does not look amused but if you know my kid well you know he loved this place and I am pretty sure it was the best $15 we spent all week.

We had the place to ourselves and the boys got to enjoy the play Tow Truck, with the boom that moved and lights that came on, all to their selves for a good hour. If you are in Chattanooga and have a little boy that is into anything Trucks, I would highly recommend you check this place out, Charlie is ready to go back with his daddy now!

The rest of the week was spent hanging out , visiting Shug for lunch and just recharging our battery. We were very glad to get back to daddy on Saturday afternoon and I think he was glad we were all back home, he was not happy about me taking his boys away for a few days!
