Saturday Spill

Starting a new post I'd like to call "Saturday Spill."  Why?  

I'm glad you asked.

Because, I'm often too busy screening preschoolers speech sounds, scoping out pterodactyls on top of the grocery store, changing the bed sheets for the 1.6 billion time for the week, sprinting to the closest bathroom <infant car seat on arm> with a toddler shouting "pee!  pee! peeeeeee!" as soon as I get in line at the post office, all to end up falling over with a stinking ole' headache at the end of the evening to tackle my "High Five for Friday" posts.  Yes, these were JUST A FEW of the events of my day yesterday;)  Hehe.

So, instead of just pulling a Scarlet O'Hara & telling myself "I'll think about that tomorrow,"<<which I do A LOT>> when days like that happen... I'll have another option.  Because, one day- I fear my thoughts from yesterday won't be remembered & I just can't let that happen:)  

Here I am, spilling on this Saturday Morning about our world this week...
1.  Conley is sitting up!  I mean check out this tiny tiny in the bathtub!  He's a PRO;)  I can't believe //wonder how many times I have said that phrase on this blog// he is already doing this...& SO well at that.

2.  I'm coming to terms that my mom has morphed into a t o t a l cougar.  She can't go anywhere or watch anything without finding man candy.  She seriously knows everything there is to know about DWTS's Nyle Dimarco.  Then, there's the fact that she sent my sister & I a picture of a "Knight" that looked "JUST like Chris Hemsworth from a school field trip."  How does she even know who Chris Hemsworth is???  It's a little scary...will I too, go crazy when I am 53? <insert crying laugh emoji here>

3.  I think we are obsessed with the outdoors.  We just go brainstorming ways to stay outside when I'm not working.  I spent half of our grocery budget this week on a new pool for the boys.  I've got the fever for summer...Then again,  I wonder how obsessed I will be with snow, Halloween, & Pumpkin Spice Lattes by the end of May.  Cam & I may or may not have already been discussing our Halloween costumes this week.  I know.   

4.  Daddy comes home in a week from this TUESDAY!!!  We are SO excited:)

5.  We officially have passport pictures for Cam & Conley.  No one understands the process it took us to get this accomplished.  AND THEN they tell me I have to have the Mr. sign their passports as well before we can send them off.  I m i g h t have ran out into the traffic blindfolded had their pictures not been so darn cute.  Kidding-about the traffic, not their pictures;)

  And that's that!

        cognitive/play development

we can practically count to ten & say our abc's.  i think he's color blind- joking...but we haven't quite mastered colors yet despite our constant drills.  we have an a m a z i n g vocabulary over here.  I mean he says awkward, adorable, & "my nerves are killing me" (wonder who he heard that from #momoftheyear).  big brother can grasp markers, pens, & pencils.  we are finally what I would call potty trained & paci free.  

loves
robots, juice & "frite" (sprite), match box cars, superheros, being outside, watching his shows, the iPad or iPhone:/, eating junk food, his Chewbacca doll & teepee, spiders, Ony, jumping on the trampoline, croutons, hiding seek, stickers, "playing with the kids", going to the cabin & NanaPops, "Cond-ley", Knoxville, Hobby Lobby, Red Lobster, playgrounds, bible school (aka sunday school). Target ( I may or may not have created that monster...) chocolate coffee (choc. milk)

hates

monsters, "girl stuff," bugs, Ony (okay it's a love/hate), "Cond-ley" crying, missing his daddy, being aggravated or teased, when grown ups act a fool, leaving anywhere...almost to the point where I'd just rather stay home than fight him to leave where we are going!

sayings
that's impossible!
awkward...(& I s w e a r, he always uses it perfectly)

My "little" Cam.  The little boy that made me a mommy.  It's hard to put into words what these three years with you have been like.  First of all, I blinked & your almost as big as I am.  My brain just can't ever process how quickly the time has passed.  The days when it was just the two of us loafing around while we waited for daddy to have a day off & play with us are a blur.  I am pretty sure I have learned more about myself & the world during your time on earth, than ever before.   You have taught me way more than I could ever teach you.  Your passion for life & adventure is contagious.  Your smile is contagious.  Your laugh.  The sparkle in your eyes.  The way you go at everything with all your heart.  It's Everything!  You are everything a little boy should be...brave, loving, forgiving, adventurous, mischievous & tough.  Your sense of humor comes straight from your daddy.  Watch out for that temper when you get angry.  You are learning to share & take care of your puppy Ony.  You still love to cuddle & for that I am forever grateful.  You are learning to earn your own money, & how to work your manners.  Somedays you nail it- while others I wonder where my little big eyed sweet loving boy went!  Lol.  I could go on all day, but I'll spare you.  I guess what I'm trying to say is:  Life would be DULL without your spunk.  Don't ever change, you are perfect<3
Mommy
