Random Phone Pics...

I decided to forward some of the pictures I've taken with my phone to my computer before deleting...in case I wanted to post them to "THE BLOG". Here are a few...

Little Man and his new friend!

Why would a kid need a giant giraffe? I'm just sayin'.

Little Man eating his Birthday Dessert at PF Changs!

The Great Wall of Chocolate (mini version).

I swear he downed it in 2 seconds flat! Probably thought he should eat it all before The Husband and I came to our senses. Hyping our kid up on chocolate before taking him home for bedtime...WHAT were we thinking! :D

But it was his Birthday so...

Breakfast with Mom & Dad at Rise n Dine!

Blackberry Jam Face.

Poor kid looks like he's still asleep!

Little Man and Miss A (hugging Big Bird) at some Kid Fest thing at Market Street.

Love these type of events! Lots of free stuff, petting zoos & face painting!

This is as close as he would get to "the Bird"...still a little leery of people dressed up as giant animals. Can't blame him! I still think clowns are a little creepy! ;D

The Mall Carousel...it's a wonderful thing!

P.J.'s, Pajamas or Jammies!

Have you ever had an old T-Shirt or other article of clothing that you've worn FOREVER and the more you washed it, the softer it got and was just the comfiest thing you owned? Well, that's my rice bowl / fortune cookie pajama bottoms. I've had them so long I can't remember when I bought them but they're the best! I LOVE LOVE crazy print pajama bottoms!

But my p.j. 's have become pretty tattered over the last year and I think its time to part with them. (sniff sniff) The draw-string hem has come undone in a few places , the hems at the ankles are ratty and as of this week, there is a huge hole in the crotch.

I've looked for a replacement and did buy an orange striped pair but they're just not the same. I mentioned my dismay to The Husband and he says, "can you sew them up or something?". Not really but the fact that he gets it and sympathizes with me is great! But I shouldn't be surprised, he has some nasty old t-shirts that I try to throw out but they somehow sneak their way back into our closet. :)

My wonderful ratty p.j. bottoms!

The replacements.

These are The Husbands p.j. bottoms that he NEVER wears...um, well, he does wear something to bed, just not these....hmmm, never mind.

I'm thinking of confiscating them...they have the coolest martini glass print on them!

How sexy would that be!

Victoria's Secret doesn't have a thing on me! hee hee

Sleepover!

Little Man has been asking for a sleepover for the last couple of weeks.....finally had one last night.

We always have lights out at 8 pm but last night he just wouldn't stay in bed...so The Husband and I told him he could read until he was ready to go to sleep. Explained that he would need to turn off his light and put himself to bed. Well, we heard some movement and noticed the light was still on at 9:30 pm so I peeked under his door and saw him getting his blankets out and spreading them out on the floor. Then he put all of his friends on the pallet and then tucked himself in.

The light was still on at 10 p.m. so we went in to check on him and this is what we found...Little Man and his friends having a sleepover. :D

Puppy, Llama, Pooh, Big Tigger, Little Tigger and Little Man fast asleep.

Birthday Party Bonanza!

We celebrated Little Man's Birthday on Saturday, then went straight to Miss J's Birthday party and then celebrated Miss E's Birthday on Sunday! Whew!

A fun time was had by all!

Here's some pics from the weekend's celebrations:

I've had this birthday hat since Little Man's 1st Birthday.

You can change the number for every year!

How festive is that?!

And yet he still has the same expression every year..."Mom!

Did you get the picture?!

Can I take this thing off my head now?! Daaaad!"

Spiderman Birthday Cake! Super Cool!

Little Man and his cousins!

Miss J and her Tinker Bell Cake!

Little Man and Miss J

It's not a backyard party until you break out the water pistols!

Miss J's brother and Little Man.

Miss E, Cinderella and the Disney Princess Cake!

And because no parent's blog is complete without an embarrassing picture of the kid...here is Little Man on the ride home from Miss E's party. It rained during the party and he decided to play in it and got soaked so I stripped the kid except for his pull-ups and his mask & flashlight from the goody bag. Didn't want to give up the mask probably because I told him he looked like Batman. =D

This one goes into the archives for when he starts dating....mwaaaa haa haa haa (<---evil laugh).

Our Little Man...

Little Man's 3rd Birthday was Wednesday last week but his party is this Saturday. Had to wait to get a Saturday with the time we needed but it will be worth it....it's a PUMP IT UP Party! Woo Hoo!

Here are some pics of Little Man from Day 1 to now.

Just a few hours old and ready to see what the world has to offer!

7 lbs, 13 oz, 21 inches long

Little Man and Grandma M at his first birthday party!

Crowned Birthday Boy at School for his 2nd Birthday!

Our 3 year old!

Hard to imagine that he was EVER a tiny newborn so over the last few days Little Man and I have been looking at pictures and videos of him when he was younger. He just giggles, points and says, "That's Me!!!"

Looking forward to celebrating his birthday with family and friends this weekend!

Video

Here is the short video I took of Little Man at the beach in Galveston.

Easter Weekend / Little Man's Birthday Trip

Little Man has been asking to see "The Beach" for the last couple of months. He wanted to build sand castles...like Olivia in one of his favorite books. The Husband and I decided to use the 3 day weekend for a quick trip to the nearest beach as part of his birthday. Little Man turns 3 tomorrow! Hard to believe.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Daddy & Little Man on The Beach in Galveston, TX

Sand Castle!

Dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.

Little Man & Cha! Cha! the Tree Frog

The grunting gorillas, trumpeting elephants & booming thunder caught us off guard!

I think Little Man was scared but soon got over it when the

waiter handed him his Cha! Cha! frog cup.

Mommy & Little Man on the train @ the Kemah Boardwalk

Little Man got scared in the Gunfight Tunnel!

Red Barron has nothin' on Little Man!

Easter cookout & swim @ Aunt & Uncle's house

Little Man & Cousin C squirting everyone.

Little Man & his cousins!

We had a great weekend! Hope you did too!

Picture Catch Up...

Here is a rundown of Little Man's world the last couple of weeks.

Found a new place where kids eat free on Sundays! Little did we know that the kids pizza was the same size as an adult small! Holy Cow! Little Man thought he was so cool! Big pizza and his first Rootbeer! Didn't know that it wasn't the caffeine-free kind until it was too late. :)

Iris' are in bloom along the waterway. So pretty!

The kids are starting to play in the spray fountains around town, now that the weather is getting warmer.

Our playgroup had their Easter Egg Hunt on Wednesday. I wonder how many of the kids skipped their nap that day because they were hyped-up on sugar? :D

The wildflower plot near our house has beautiful Bluebonnets right now. It's a Texas thing to get a picture every year of your kids sitting in them.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
