Hellooooo out there!

Oh, the fun we have with boxes around here! This week he made a "frog house," and we played "Frog Family" for quite some time! :) We even had a song to go along with it....to the tune of "The Addams Family," but frogs...of course! :)

Yes, the boy will eat carrots again! AND make them into snake fangs for fun!

Just chillin' on the frog at MOSI. He saw his first "real" movie that day...an IMAX movie! Talk about jumping right in to the whole movie experience! He asked SO many questions during the "ancient reptiles" movie. Oh my. He was hooked though!

Some sort of hands-on fun at MOSI

Awwww...his very first tatoo! ;)

Hi everyone! Ok...I have officially become a bad blogger. :( I'm sorry! Things have been going pretty well here lately...just really, really busy. My work is coming along and I am happy to say that I think I'm finding a good routine for myself and the family! Bear Cub has been busy studying snakes (his new love) and still collecting frogs. Oh my! I see some improvements with his handwriting skills and he seems to be recognizing more and more words in books. I think the boy will be reading by the time he's 5! Or at least, really on his way!

Let's see...in the past couple of weeks, we've to MOSI (the Museum of Science and Industry), visited with family for Auntie A's baby shower (BC's baby boy cousin will be here in about a month!) and have suffered through another round of colds and a short stomach bug. Oh my!

We are looking forward to a restful weekend ahead. I can't believe it's October tomorrow! Time is flying...BC wants to be a snake for Halloween, but so far, I have not come across any costumes. Geez...is this going to be a replay of Halloween 2 years ago with the infamous homemade duck costume!?!?!?

Enjoy the pics from the last couple of weeks!! Happy October to ya! :)

Blast from the past...

Happy Friday, everyone! Whoa...what a whirlwind week! And we have an even busier weekend ahead with Auntie A's baby shower tomorrow. I'll hopefully get some NEW pictures up soon, but I had to post this one...from just about a year ago. Bear Cub has grown SO much since then! I could hardly believe my eyes while I was looking at this one. He has changed so much. I love this one...and still remember how cute he was, running around naked, with all of those beads swishing around him! :)

Have a fabulous weekend! :)

Still here!

Hi there! Sorry for my lack of blogging...it was a busy week last week as I was away for a 3-day conference for work. It was awesome. I came back loving my job...and now it's Monday and the realities of it all have sunk in again! Ha! :) All is well...it just keeps me BUSY! There are so many things I'd like to try, but can't seem to find the time. Ahhh...eventually!

I promise to post pictures soon...for now, it's bedtime. I'm tired! My days are filled to the brim with Bear Cub and work. Laundry? Um....ya...I eventually get to that too at some point! :)

Have a good one!

FFF = Fish Feeding Friday! :)

Happy weekend! We had a good week...so short! Bear Cub did have to stay home from school on Friday because of some upset tummy issues on Thursday, but he seems to be feeling better and back to his busy self. We did get out for a bit on Friday with some old bread to try and feed some fish in the neighborhood. Success! I think the fish were fat and happy by the time we were done! Enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful weekend! :)

Happy Labor Day!

These 2 are true brother and sister...they even sleep the same!

Yes, another frog in the house!

Hugs! The vacuum hose...it's actually his pretend "anaconda" that he slithers around. It doesn't take much for him!

Fun with the air mattress

Levitating Zoe! I LOVE this picture. It cracks me up! :)

Trying to get to the grasshopper that BC had earlier released. Can't believe that thing didn't take off when it had its chance!

Hi everyone! I hope you've had a fantastic, LONG weekend! Wow, I am enjoying this official day off! :) We have had a great weekend...went to the aquarium on Saturday, the pool, the park (a couple of times), and today, a nice family trip to IKEA and Wal-Mart. Can't beat that! :)

Bear Cub had a pretty good week at school last week! We had Mimi Bear here for a night and it was fun for her to see BC's school and meet his teachers. Bear Cub is liking his school and has no problems getting up and going each morning. I think he's a bit squirmy during lunchtime, but we'll keep reminding him of the right way to behave! They serve some great lunches there...none of which BC will TOUCH. Oh my. He did pick the cheese out of his grilled cheese on Friday...so worth that extra wrap-around money I pay for him to stay. Ha! Hopefully this week will be a good one for him, too.

My work is going well...still kind of in the same position of trying to figure out the best routine and how to manage the amount of calls that come in and need to be made. I'm getting there! :) I officially close my computer and don't answer my cell from about 12:30-4:00, which gives BC and me lots of good together time and the chance to get out and do some fun stuff. I'm getting a lot done while he's in school each day...so glad he's going 5 days this year...I think it's really helping him get into a routine too!

Enjoy the pictures! Have a great week ahead! :)
