The Office

Tonight is the season premiere of The Office. I am very excited. This is a show Tim and I watch together so it is very special to me.

Scholastic's Book Review - Based On Kaden

I let Kaden pick a few books to order from Scholastics for his school and they came in yesterday. We read them during his reading time last night. Here are the three out of the four I liked.

This is a great book. Kaden wanted this one because they read it at school and he has also seen the movie the book is based on. It is great for the preschool age group. This story is about the alphabet and it rhythms.


I ordered this book based on the information and persuaded Kaden to want it. It's a story about a little Lama that has had enough on a shopping trip and looses his patients and has a tantrum. Mama Lama is very patient and calms everything down. I think parents and kids can get something from this book. Kaden really liked how it talked about whining and tantrums and then showed the Lama calming down and helping. Kaden said "Now that Lama's manners are showing". Which is a theme in his class.


Kaden was very excited about this book. The monster shows up piece by piece and then goes away. This book contains die cuts of the monster as it appears and then the child has the control to tell it to go away and not come back. It has great descriptions and was very captivating for Kaden.





I recommend any of these books if you have preschool age children.

Walking

The past two nights I have walked 1 mile with the boys after dinner. I love it and it is so relaxing to walk around and the boys love it too. By the time I get home Karson is laying back relaxed and ready for bed. Tonight I walked a little faster than last night and I could tell I got a workout. I have also met some new neighbors there are 2 other Moms that walk too.

1 Mile

Our Sunday

Tim left for Dallas this afternoon for his guy retreat. I miss him and the weird thing is I missed the background noise of the football game too.

The boys and I took a good nap this afternoon. I was so tired from the garage sale stuff this weekend.

I have plans to get some cleaning and grocery shoping done during Tims mini-trip.

Tonight when I was getting Karson ready for bed Kaden wanted to hold his little brother.

I think Kaden was squeezing too tight because Baby Brother was done after this picture.

Garage Sale Day 2

Today was ok it was not as busy but we got rid of alot of things we did not sell yesterday. I packed up alot of what was left to take to the Highway 80 Rescue Mission.

I am so tired.

Tim is leaving for Dallas tomorrow. I will miss him.

Garage Sale Day 1

I have been working hard all week to get everything priced and organized. We opened the sale at 7am this morning. It started a little slow but business picked up and we had a pretty good day. I sold so much we cleaned out some more tonight to put out tomorrow.

ET

Do you remember that scene in ET where ET had to hide in the closet in the stuffed animals. That's what Kaden reminded me of when I went in his room today. I got a picture just in time as he popped out.

We Found Snort

A few months ago I posted this. Yes it did take me 5 months to have a garage sale but we found Snort. I had to take a picture of the reunion. He did not forget about snort he has asked for him so many times. I am glad I found him.

Letting Go....

When I had Karson Tim and I knew he would be our last baby. Karson is such a good baby I think sometimes I could add another one but then I come to my senses. With Kaden I kept everything that made it through the first year in good condition. Now when I go through Karsons stuff he has outgrown I have no reason to keep it. It's hard for me to let go of their baby things. This weekend I am having a garage sale. So I am happy to be getting some free space but it is hard for me to let go.

Over the weekend Karson decided that he was done with baby food the downside... I had just bought 2 weeks worth of baby food for him. He still eats cereal but he cries if he sees me come near him with pureed anything. Look at his face he is so happy to have what I call people food.

Bubby

Bubby (Kaden) is a wonderful, gentle hearted, ball of excitement and energy. Listening to him play and talk about things makes me wish this was contagious or they bottled and sold it at Starbucks. His passion owe his passion for things. He is a good big brother too.

Since Kadens birth I have changed so much. Before he was born I imagined and dreamed of what life would be like as a mother. Well it was nothing like that but Kaden showed me a better way. I have learned and I still am learning to let him be a kid, do things that boys do, and dream. I lack patients some times and we but heads but at the end of the day he is still my Bubby. He is a dreamer. Some days he wants to be a Chick-fil-a employee and others he wants to be a Jonas Brother. I know this will change many times in his life.

Today he wants to be Batman....
