Little Boys...

Okay, so I have started teaching a couple new students over the last couple weeks. I am enjoying having more students at different levels. It definitely keeps things interesting. So..... during my last lesson with a newer student, who is 13 and male, I noticed that my child had gone upstairs. I didn't think too much of it, because I heard him coming down the stairs a few minutes later. Much to my surprise, my son has a pair of Lightening McQueen underwear on his head and is peaking through the leg whole at me and my student. My student seemed to be a little shocked and slightly embarrassed. I felt my face turning red and said, well, that's what being two looks like...... I told Zander that his underwear was not a hat, but he looked at me and said, SPEED(his nickname for the McQueen's car), Mommy, SPEED!!! He also proceeded to giggle hysterically. So..... a friend has pointed out that it could have been much worse. It could have been my underwear, or something nightmarish like my husband with his underwear on his head...:) Life is very interesting and not a bit dull or boring!

Tanners

There is nothing like a trip to Tanners Apple Orchard with your two and a half year old. Zander and I went with Virginia and Taylor to Tanners and had a great time!!! Zander has been wanting to eat apples since we arrived at home. I only let him have one. He played really hard, fed the goats, and enjoyed his first drink of apple cider.... I love fall!!! It was a perfect day to spend outside enjoying the changing of the seasons (though, it was a little warm for a fall day)

Saturday Craft

As usual I am late posting this, but it was done before Saturday arrived.

Tired of Trim......

I am so tired of painting the trim. It still have at least two days of painting before I will be finished. Today, though I I am getting a new kitchen table. At least new to me. I am really excited!!!! It is black and will need some clean up work, but it will look perfect in the kitchen. Once the living room and kitchen are complete, then next year's projects will be the bathroom and the office. I don't really think it ever ends. Once I start something it seems like I find a hundred other things to do.

Saturday Crafting.

I enjoyed this much better than last weeks project. I am not sure where I will put them, but I like them a lot. On to the next craft....

5th Anniversary

We had a wonderful time last night on our fifth anniversary. Zander stayed with grand'ma for the first time and had a ball. He was glad to see us, but fine without us. FINALLY!!! We ate at Jonah's, which was fabulous. Then we stayed overnight at the Stoney Creek Inn. Our original suite had to have maintenance, so they upgraded us for free to the Cottage. It was wonderful. Basically, it was a small aparment with a screened-in porch and everything. It was so relaxing. Only one little bug in the evening, I forgot to give grand'ma the keys to the house when we dropped Zander off. We had to drive back to Bartonville after dinner. We were just staying across the river, so it was a short drive. Other than that it was a great time...

Today

Okay, I think that after three nights of not getting to bed until after two, that I am exausted. I also have realized that I have a hundred projects going on right now all at the same. I think that I should cut back. Hopefully today will be a little slower and I will get more done.

Yesterday Zander picked out his Halloween costume: Thomas the Train!!! Yea! He has already worn it around the house. At the store, he said "Pease, mommy. I like this." Now to find something for me. I have never dressed up for Halloween before, so this should be quite interesting. I won't even tell you what my husband wants to be. Why are grown men so similar to two year old boys? At least they are potty-trained, I guess.

If I hear one more time that I want ice cream or pizza from the child or the adult, I think that I will go crazy. All I have heard all morning is I want ice cream from Zander. Noone should eat ice cream for breakfast, although Zander would disagree. Most days he wants pizza.....
