Whoa...almost Wednesday already!

Fish painting! Don't throw away old sponges...cut them into shapes for some fun sponge painting! He LOVED it! Wish I would've thought of that sooner...

So proud after finishing this "big boy" puzzle (with just a little help from me!)

Heading out for the bridal shower...what fun!

Hi there! Hope you all had a nice, long weekend! With not TOO much laboring! ;)

It was a fantastic weekend for me! My best friend, Erica, and I met up with our high school friends to celebrate a very special bride-to-be. We had dinner down on the beach Friday night, then went to a beautiful bridal shower on Saturday. To top it all off, Erica and I spent the night with my Mama (just like the old days!) and then she spent the night at my house Saturday. What a fun, relaxing, ALL-girls weekend! It was so great to catch up with "old" friends - some I hadn't seen in 10+ years! Everyone looked fabulous!

And where, might you ask, were Bear Cub and his Daddy while all this GIRL fun was going on? They had some boy time together on Friday afternoon and night here at home, then headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's where they spent Saturday night. They swam, visited with the aunts and uncles, "helped" at a garage sale, AND even rode a mini train, which BC loved! He was pooped from all the excitement by the time they got home and I was so excited and ready to see my boys after the weekend apart. :)

BC had a good day at school today - able to tell us about the letter "H" and again, how to write it! We keep practicing and talking about school at home, and it seems to be sinking in for him. He is such a cutie, walking into his classroom and then, at pick-up time, it just warms my heart when he first sees me, gives me a HUGE smile and comes running right up. We've seen some signs of maturing already since school started! He's doing a lot more on his own...potty things, taking his shoes off and putting them away, and being a better listener. School is a GOOD thing! :)

Something funny he said tonight on our walk...

I tried to hold his hand when crossing the street, but he made it QUITE obvious that he wanted Daddy's hand instead. And then he said, "I'm into Daddy right now. I will be into Mommy again later." Oh, really!?!? Well, FINE! ;) We had to laugh at this! He's all Daddy's boy these days, but that's ok, because I know how much he missed him during all those weeks of work travel! He'll get back to me one of these days...

Enjoy the rest of the week!! (More pics to come soon!)
