Logan's Nana and Grandparent were out of town on this Grandparents Day, so Logan and I made them a little video to wish them well. They sure got a kick out of it. Thanks Nana and Grandpa for being such amazing grandparents. Life is good.
The adventures of a little boy and a mom who tries to keep up!
First Day of Preschool 9.8.09
Gulp....here he goes! Good luck Loganberry. I love you so much little man. Life is so good.
Farming 9.7.09
Today we went to my folks and had a great visit and did a little farming. Well, let's be frank, we actually just got to reap the benefits of my mom's farming/gardening. We came home with potatoes, onions, corn, and flowers. Logan and Shane had a blast digging everything up. Thanks Mom!! Life is good!
Kelly's Shower 9.6.09
Logan amusing himself.
Let them eat cake!
Me, Kelly, and Alysia.My dear friend Kelly, who I've known for over 20 years (holy crap!) had a baby shower today. This is her first and she and Jonas found out they were having a boy. Kelly lives very far away but was home for her brother's wedding so her mom threw together a baby shower for all of us "back home" that miss her and otherwise wouldn't have gotten a chance to see her and her cute little basketball belly. Logan came with and was actually quite a good sport. I had brought my bag of tricks, but for the most part he enjoyed hiding under the table and "quietly" pretending he was a t-rex, and playing with the balloons and ,of course, eating the cake. The shower was on the waterfront, so afterward we went for a nice stroll and watched all the boats coming in and out of the harbor. It was a great afternoon. Congratulation Kelly! Life is good.
Preschool Orientation 9.3.09
Logan approximately 1.2 minutes after having arrived.
How cute it that?
Get out!!!! I'm in love.
Logan's reaction to having to leave school...I'm taking that as a good sign.
Preschool.Today I missed a very important meeting (determining whether or not my district was going on strike or not) to take my *gulp* almost 4 year old to preschool orientation. Oh. My. God. I fell in love on site. First of all, his preschool is in a local Lutheran church that we are familiar with and it's about 2 minutes (not exaggerating here people) from his daycare. His teacher was at the door to greet us with big smiles and open arms. After our introductions, she lead us to his classroom, where *gasp* he had a cubby with his name on it!!!!!! Seriously, parenting heaven here! He also had a spot at the table with his name, and a spot on the rug with his name. Posters around the room labeling colors and numbers, and all sorts of educational goodies that are long gone by the time the kids get to me at the high school level. More importantly, Logan was immediately at home. No fear. No hesitation. He just went right for the toys and played quietly while I got to know his teacher. I think I'm her favorite! ;-) It probably didn't hurt that Starbucks had screwed up my order before we got there and I ended up with an extra pumpkin spice latte which I proceeded to bestow upon Mrs. V. (HEY! You may call it sucking up, but as a fellow teacher, I certainly wouldn't mind more parents "sucking up"!) :-) Anyway, Logan was actually so enamored with school, that he had a bit of a break down when it was time to go. Thank goodness I was able to convince him that he would be back the following week. Life is so good.
Bubble Gun 9.2.09
So I did it...I was that sucker you saw at the fair buying her kid a bubble gun. Yeah, well, judge me all you want, but it provided a good five minutes of fun before it broke. $5. 5 minutes. Seems about right! :-) Life is good.
Fun at the Fair 9.1.09
If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now...I LOVE FAIRS!!!! I love the energy, the excitement, the smells (well, most of them, that is), the rides, the animals, the vendors, (I mean where else can I buy a new car, sign up for insurance for that new car, load up a new outdoor firepit in that new car, pick out a new license plate frame for my new ride, all while having my knives sharpened and my palm read?), and, of course, the food!!! Logan and I had missed the first three fairs of the season, so I was bound and determined to get him to this one. Mom came with us and with free tickets from Karen (thanks again lady), we were off to the races. 3 and 1/2 hours later we were headed home a bit poorer, a bubble wand and bubble gun richer, exhausted, holding warm scones. Mmmmm, life is goooooood.
