Audrey slept in this morning so she joined us for our morning backyard session in her nightgown. Later I caught her trying to climb back into her crib.. what child tries to climb IN a crib - aren't they supposed to be trying to get out at this age?
Evan finished his "countdown to NY" calendar. This will be his third calendar and he seems to really enjoy the process of not only making the calendar but choosing stickers to stick on appropriate days to represent what we will be doing on vacation. Problem was, we were out of stickers so we decided to print some off of the internet. Evan told me what he wanted and I looked them up. The '57 Thunderbird and ice cream cone were no problem but when he requested a boy building a model rocket----- try to find that on clipart.com ----- but i was on a mission and I found it. He also loves marking the days off at night before he goes to bed. This calendar idea came to life a year ago when I needed some relief from the "how many more days" question every day. The calendar helps him understand how long it is and also see the day come closer and closer.
Been keeping very busy so I am anticipating more days skipped here and there in the upcoming weeks. Today we had Connor over again while his mommy worked. We spent the day running errands and then having lunch in the park. The boys get along so well it is almost like a mini vacation having Connor around the entertain Evan so nicely for five hours. Audrey tagged along as usual. It is funny now with the mix of chlorine and sun her hair has lightened up so much she looks like she is bald on the top of her head and only has that ring of hair going round the sides and bottom (like George Costanza)......
Well, as it appears, my neighbor and Hostess of the group Banner Requests, Novemberrain, has left Vox, and promoted ME as the new Hostess of the group. Although I am very honored, there is no way I could possibly manage a fourth group right now. As you may know, I'm the Hostess of Pixel City Banners, and Banner Requests was sort of like a "sister group". Now that Banner Requests is closing, you are more than welcome to join us at Pixel City, if you haven't already, and post any requests there.
We miss you Novemberrain! :-(
