and so it begins...

Blake told me today after pre-school that he has a girlfriend..."Maddie." He's been talking about her lots lately. I think what prompted this was that Amy, a co-worker, asked him if he had a girlfriend. Anyway...I said, "well, what about Vanessa...she's your friend and she's a girl, so she's your girlfriend too, right?" He responds, "No mom, she's just my friend. Girls can be just friends, ya know. But Maddie is my girlfriend." So, I convinced him that kissing girls besides his momma is gross....he agreed with me. So...I guess thats good.

Making a wish....& "nuts"

I'm really not sure where Blake comes up with these things...but he does. Sometimes, he can by SO sweet.

Tonight after we read our bedtime story and said our prayers, he told me he needs to see a star, so he can make a wish. So, we shut out the lights and looked out the window. He then says, "I wish for all my grandmas, grandpas, moms and dads, all my cousins and my Cora." Not sure what he wishes for us all, but I think it's all good. :-) Those are some of the people that we pray for every night, so I think he was just saying an extra prayer for all of us.

Today at pre-school, he came home with a chipmunk puppet made out of a brown lunch sack, and another brown lunch snack that had a few shelled peanuts in it. When we got in the car and were headed towards daycare, he says to me, "Mom...I can't wait to show Mary my nuts!" Too cute! Can't wait to haunt him with these things when he gets older! lol!!

Cora's 1 year pics

Finally...got them edited and ordered...she's so stinkin' cute!

Productive Weekend!

Gotta love those weekends where we actually get a lot accomplished! We went and picked up the camper from down at Westland Camping Center in Westland. It was quite a drive, but it was a nice day with my hubby. Thanks mom for keeping the kids!

We also stopped at Ikea and bought a kitchen cart to put against the north windows. WOW, so much extra storage space we have. Not to mention, it looks much better than the old microwave cart. :-)

Still have lots to do, so gotta keep on moving. One more photo session to edit and then I'll be done until after the holidays! :-)

Love you mommy...

Tonight after I read Blake his bed time story and say our prayers (he can say the entire Lords Prayer, by the way!), he gives me a hug and says, "Momma, I love you VERY much! I had fun wrestling with you tonight...I had fun laughing with you momma." He melts my heart! :-)

Ears Glued On

Back a few weeks ago....in fact it was October 17th...the day of Cora's birthday party. I was sitting down with Blake, just relaxing and unwinding. I started to tickle him and pretend to bite his ear...this is our dialogue....

Blake: "Momma....you can't bite my ear off!"

Me: "Why not Blake"

Blake: "Because it has glue on it!"

Me: "Why does it have glue on it Blake?"

Blake: "Because Momma...everyone has glue on their ears....so they don't fall off!"

Too funny!
