Temper, leg warmers, heels and food

Monkey is very into socks lately ... namely MY socks. There will be more coming, I'm sure, but here are a few of his "leg warmers". I can't remember why at the moment, but he was throwing a tantrum.

The tantrum wasn't hard to keep up with Dora on tv.

Cissy brought a pair of my shoes that I'd left in AZ. Seems Monkey also enjoys wearing mommy's shoes ... make sure to check out the hi-frickin-larious vid!

Monkey loves getting a ride at Walmart!

Tonight we went for dinner at Cracker Barrell. Monkey had a delicious meal of mac 'n cheese. After he finished it, he decided that Cissy's dinner looked pretty good.

We also had a really fab dessert.

But, these two obviously thought the other had something better.

I love ... LOVE watching these two together. I have the chance to see my son through a different set of eyes and I see my mom through his. My life would be perfect if McH were home.

Back with a vengence! We have nice weather for about five minutes a year here in good 'ole Texas. The mornings aren't too bad, but it's been super muggy after about 11a. Yuck. Here's monkey finally wearing the sunglasses I bought him 2 years ago. We were playing out in the back ... he was having a blast until the ants found him ... ugh.




And, the glasses are gone. I'm bummed this came out a little blurry. Looks like he's wandering a jungle!


And ... my nosey nelly! Part of the fence was rotted, so for a few months he's been able to see pretty clearly into our neighbors backyard and probably wondering why they have a lovely manicured lawn and he gets the jungle!




We also made our first trek to Chuck E. Cheese since he's been old enough to get it. I couldn't believe how these two played ... first of all, she's a year younger, though you'd never know it by size! Second, she's a brawler and my little guy is a lover. But, they had a good time together until his other girlfriend grabbed his attention!

BALLOONS!

This is the true love of his life ... well, after mommy, daddy and Cissy. Depending on the day, she's first and sometimes the other grandparents and friends are on his list!

If Daddy is accurate at 300 meters, than he's sure going to match that!

These two are so cute. She typically ignores him for the first hour, but after that she's practically ... well, actually literally dragging him around by whatever part of him she's able to grab and hold on to. Girl knows what she wants!

Been a long time blogger friends!

There has been a good reason for my absence! Someone, I won't name names, took off with my memory card for the camera and lost it! I'm painfully (ha ha) aware that my blog is routinely checked not for my witty reparte, but for my photography subject.

Today Monkey is coloring, mama is writing and later we will probably be pulling some weeds out in the yard.

Six days and counting until Abuelita is here!! YAY!!!

Sleeping, Bloomin' Fest, and Sprinkler Time!

Wow, it's been a CRAZY week! Monkey has moved into his big boy bed, for real! He's been sleeping fantastic, despite being sick. Wish I could say the same for myself!


Here is a funny set of pics. I've been putting Vics on his chest with a warm towel before bed.

Today we went over to Lampasas (about 15 miles away) for their annual Bloomin' Fest. It was a little lame (lol), but we had a good time and the weather was FANTASTIC! Something we can't say very often here! We walked around for a bit, but you know how expensive all those outdoor vendor food places can be (and this stuff didn't look near worth it), so we checked out this shop that had a sandwhich place in the back. Very yummy :)

Monkey saying "cheeeeese". Make note of both the cup and doll ... neither are very far away at any given moment!

Mommy and me!

They had a big slide too ... too bad the dumb lady was blocking my way so I couldn't get him sliding down ... you can see how expensive it was LOL

After we left the Bloomin' Fest, we headed over to DQ for an ice cream. Someone really likes ice cream!

The day was so nice that we decided to set up our new fun sprinkler. Note the sunglasses ... not covering his eyes, but holding back his hair!

He had a ball picking it up and trying to spray me ... we were in the front yard because the back has a lot more dirt which quickly turns to mud. I'm sure our neighbors were either laughing or cringing at me running around screaming LOL Oh, also, if you can see his chest he has a "boo boo" ... not a real one, but I have to give him a "D-d-d-d-dora boo boo" daily (Dora bandaid ... no, he isn't stuttering, he's singing the theme song lol)

Vids

A few videos for the fam!

I think this was Blue's Clues ... dancing ... funny.

One of his new friends will sing Dora's theme song and I guess he caught on!

Finally, for Tia! Monkey learned one of her tricks!
