A Christmas Eve Gift of More Pictures of My Kid :-)

Augie loves to put on a cap when we come down for breakfast in the morning.

Measuring the foyer for a table.

This is what he does to bread.

This is what he does to hotel rooms.

In the Dark

Today Augie helped me look for things in the dark (he didn't want to stop to have the picture made though).



And tonight we turned off the lights before bed, and he provided the light for story time with Daddy.

Spaghetti Face

Party

Decorated House

Here are a couple of pictures of our house with decorations (really just more pictures of Augie). I wanted to get a picture of the nativities, but I forgot. I never thought in my lifetime I would say 'leave Jesus alone'..but I have probably said it a dozen times today. :-) Anyway, Enjoy!

A Christmas Dance for you

This is what we did for most of the day yesterday. Sometimes I am not sure what to say when B asks 'what did you do all day?'....This!!!

Christmas Tree

We got our Christmas tree on Saturday. Decorated pictures to come.

We had a spinning good time in SC

I know this is long....but I am a mother and an aunt and I could watch hours of this kind of fun!

Fun in SC

Day 1









Day 2
























Evie or Augie??


After bath time tonight, Evie needed a pair of pjs...in these pics she is wearing all his clothes and carrying his snack cup. She loves her cousin.

Stuff I've made this month..so far

I didn't make the little sweater; I bought that at Gymboree last summer for $4.99! We have enough babies being born in our church, I knew it would eventually work for some little guy. I happened to have fabric that went with it really well too. Also, I like the elephants, but this on in particular was my little message of support for McCain as this gift was given the weekend before the election. Too bad..an appliqued bib just wasn't enough! Anyway, enjoy!

Arranging the Buffet Supper

Dinner time tonight

The Office 5:1

All grown up!

Fun with Daddy

Last Day at the Splash Park

The splash park at the zoo closes next Monday. Today looked like the last sunny/hot day to go. Augie and I enjoyed splash-side sandwiches and juice - and then he ventured out into the water alone. I think he enjoyed eating lunch and watching the other kids most - and also the almost attack of the canadian geese on our way out. We ended our trip with an easy carousel ride. The zoo is so much more fun and peaceful when the older kids are back at school. :-)

Happy Grandparents Day..yesterday!

There was a 2 hour jazz concert in the park yesterday as a celebration for Grandparents Day. We enjoyed juice, crackers, and entertainment.







And finished the evening with a nice bubble bath.

Repurposed

Lately I have been wanting to re-purpose old clothing we have instead of throwing it away or donating it. I had this Springfield 5K Turkey Trot shirt from 2002 that hasn't fit me for a long time (at least not before stretching it over my knees and doing a couple of squats first :-) See re-purpose pictures below.

The long sleeves became pants for the prince.


And the rest a re-useable shopping bag for mama!


Here is Augie - Starbucks on Labor Day. We rode our bikes to coffee and breakfast and then rode around an old part of town and looked at the historic homes. Fun!! Augie fell asleep in the bike carrier on the way home. His little helmeted head kept falling over. :-)

Fun Times with Grandma Preston

Morning with Mama

My new jewelry. I am not sure I like it yet, will wait until I can change the stud to decide.

Happy Birthday!

Augie's Birthday Present

We are going to have fun with this, I know it! Augie seemed to enjoy riding in his new ibert.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' TV

Augie is such a big help when it comes to cleaning,especially using the vacuum or mop - he loves both of them! Pardon my grammar in a couple of these...I don't know why I talk like that to Augie sometimes.




He also got his first boo boo this week. :-( He didn't cry or anything, just wanted to play in the blood.

Louisville Bats Game

Last Saturday

I have been meaning to post pictures all week. These are from last Saturday with the Goforths at Lynn's Paradise Cafe.
