Wordless Weds - Peek-A-Boo

Daddy & Son

There is nothing like it, the time spent between Jeff and Drew.

They have a blast together! The run through the house chasing each other laughing and giggling the whole time. They like to wrestle and horse around. Jeff pretends to be a little rougher with Drew, but Drew knows he can be a little rougher with Daddy and he definitely takes advantage of that.

Its a beautiful thing to see father and son playing like they do. I wish Zack was around so he can participate in the festivities, but we make do when we see him. I can't want to have him for a week in August. It will be lovely to see the three of them together, having fun.

Mural Update

The mural is coming along, slowly! I'm at the point where its all the little details that need to be done rather then the large area's to be painted (except Winnie himself).

I finished the log Pooh is sitting on. In the bark area, there are zodiac signs for his family tree, a heart and Drew's name. Its blended in so much, I have to point them out to Jeff.

The next step is the wood detail in the doorway of Winnie's house. Jeff said, just paint it all one color. I said, then it will look like a brown blob and that's not what I'm looking for. After the doorway is finished, its onto the blades of grass.

Its hard to work on the mural after being on your feet all day and then standing to paint. I hope to finish up by vacation time (or be really close). I want to be able to focus on other things while on vacation rather then painting, being cooped up inside.

Promotional Shot

Yup, we bought those new Huggie diapers that look like jean shorts. Yup, guilty! When Jeff saw them in the shopping cart, he gave me a look and said, those are so tacky. I didn't care, I wanted them for Drew and I thought he would look so cute strutting around in those!!

A few days later, we were in Babies R Us, looking around and checking things out stuff and I noticed a table promoting the Huggies Jean Diapers. There were free t-shirts, coupons and a chance to win a $5 gift card (um, on a side note...I won a gift card, wohoo). So I grabbed a t-shirt since we had the diapers at home.

The other day, Drew was running around in his diaper and the Huggies T-shirt. I thought hey, I should snap a few photo's and send them to Huggies. What do you think? A good promotion right!

31 Years Young

It was my 31st birthday yesterday!

I had a wonderful day, I had some time to myself, which doesn't come too often. I took the day off from work to achieve that goal. I didn't get to sleep in, but I did wake up on our normal schedule, got Drew ready for day care and dropped him off.

I treated myself to a Starbucks Chai and yummy treat and while I drank my chai, I walked around Walmart at my own pace all by myself. It was lovely! I was taking my time, was able to poke around at what I wanted to check out, but I did end up buying Drew summer outfits.

After I walked around, I took a little time to paint Drew's mural and then I went to my birthday treat I was looking forward too for sometime now. I told Jeff I wanted a spa pedicure for my present, and that's what he got me!! It was wonderful! The package included all kinds of treatments and a message for my feet and lower legs, a tea and my toes painted the color of my choice. It was so worth it and I already told Jeff I want the same thing for next years birthday.

My parents stopped by for a visit in the late afternoon. We were treated to little itty-bitty cupcakes. Drew loved them so much, he wanted MY cupcake.

I also received a surprise supper. My FIL called me on his way home from work and asked if I wanted a surprise for dinner. I said sure!! He walked in the house with a lobster dinner for me! Just me!! I felt bad that no one else got one, but I was in heaven! I let Drew try a couple of bites, he did eat them, but he didn't want too much.

What a perfect day!

Wordless Weds - Refreshing Fun

Cars, Trucks & Bikes...Oh My

My son likes any machine with wheels and makes a head turning sound. It doesn't matter if its a truck, car, motorcycle, tractor or airplane, he likes to point and says vroom vroom.

At times, we could be playing in the backyard, running, climbing or laughing really hard and if he hears a motorcycle somewhere off in the distance, he stops, make his sound and points in the direction of the sound.

When we are shopping, Jeff takes him down the "boy" isle (even though its not limited to boys) to see what there are for vehicles. Of course we all have to push the buttons on all the kid trucks or what every there is around, but then Drew finds that one thing he wants (or really what Jeff wants to get him). Drew has his own set of motorcycles, a Ford Pick-Up truck, lots of match box cars, and equipment trucks. Drew is in his glory and carrys around a certain vehicle from day-to-day. There are vehicles spread all over the house.

Drew also just doesn't have the physical vehicles, he has two truck books, a tractor book and a train book he reads often. These are in the mix of his favorite books and we read them often.

I can't wait until he can get outside to help out his Daddy, Grandpa Charlie and Grandpy with working on the cars. Drew already wants to help with everything that is done, I can imagine when he's old enough to have his own tool box to fix the cars.
