Honey of an O

I know everyone has these kind of nights..but, tonight for dinner I gave Owen a big bowl of honey nut Cheerio's. Kindly keep in mind before stoning me to death, that he ASKED for them. How can I say no to this face?



Or for that matter, this face?

Catch up

Well, not a ton going on over here to report. Finally done with all the May birthday's! We have several of them in our family, and you throw Mother's Day into the mix, May quickly becomes the 2nd most expensive month (December being the 1st).

Owen has been fabulous. More talking, more learning. He spontaneously identified a Triangle as such a few days ago. He can count to 14 on his own, and with hints, can make it to 20. He sings the alphabet song, knows Twinkle Twinkle and a few other songs. Every day he is becoming more and more independent and vocal. I know I will probably regret that in a few years when he won't SHUT UP, but now I love it.

Finally sold John's mother's house after being on the market for way too long. The buyers aren't the most ethical people in the world, but, at least it is over. Nice to have that chapter over.

Gearing up for a big yardsale this weekend. Hopefully can make a few hundred dollars, and get rid of the ugly, broken car that has been in my driveway for almost 2 years. Anyone want to buy a real fixer upper, classic muscle car? 1966 Chevelle. Name a price, it is YOURS.

Other than that, nothing more to report. All's well with Owen, and that is just fine with me!

Baby did a Bad, Bad Thing

I had a whole sleeve of Fig Newton cookies. For breakfast. All I wanted was 1 or 2. Then while I was working I just kept reaching for them. And then they were gone. Baby is so sad now.
:-)
Happily, that is the biggest ordeal of the day. And it is almost lunch time! Fancy that!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Albeit a tad late, but..I thought of you all!! All my wonderful friends who are mothers, those who desperately want to be, and those who would rather just "borrow" our kids and go home to fur babies.

A recap of my great day:

Vera Bradley WHO?? I have an OBKD Original!



Helping me open things:



My Haul: 2 8x10 frames, 2 5x7's, 2 4x6's, 3 bags of tealights, and several Yankee Candle wax tarts..does my honey know me or WHAT??

A walkway surprise from Owen:



It was a wonderful day, and special thanks to John and Dad and Sue for making it so wonderful for me! Pity it is only one day a year, isn't it???
:-)

Let's give it another whirl...

Let's try to share some vacation photo's with our adoring public, shall we, Blogger?

The morning of the monster trip, and my 2 guys, just kickin' back.



Let the games begin!!



It's not a REAL vacation til we break out the Orthopedic chair rides! WHOOOO-HOOO!!



This red squirrel found it's purpose in life..to drive Owen absolutely INSANE, all he wanted to do was catch him and "hug" :-)



The obligatory nature shot:



What a beautiful little boy...ontop of Cadillac Mountain




Sweetie and Me



This was so cool..a huge whale sculpture advertising a Whale Watch..so easy to impress me



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!



Checking out the Lobsters..



And he sleeps...

Back from Hiatus..

We went up to Maine to do some visiting..We had a fun time, and we reached a landmark of sorts..Owen actually did terrific on the 6 hour car drive!! On the way up, we only stopped once and on the way home? NONE!! Have I mentioned how wonderful he is?? And he slept on an air mattress, in our room. For the most part, he did really well and stayed in it all night. One night John woke up because he "felt" someone just looking at him and there was Mr. O at 4am, just staring at him, not saying a word. John brought him into bed with us, and he slept til 6:30 that morning.

I will upload photos, but Blogger seems to be having an issue with uploading at this time.
Have a great day!
