My Nemesis...

POLLEN!

I'm so torn about Spring. I love that it's getting warmer outside and that the sun is shining and that the days are longer, but I just can't deal with my seasonal allergies. My eyes are really taking a beating this year.

It stinks that today I told B-man this morning, "I don't really want to go outside today..." What? Are you kidding? It's beautiful out!! I couldn't believe what I was saying.

I'm trying all kinds of alternatives such as the netti pot and eye washes, but am still on the losing end of this battle. I'm even considering getting huge geriatric sunglasses to act a a physical barrier to the allergens....oh my!

And, so yes, I'm just complaining, but hey...it's my blog, I can do a little complaining, right?

Hope your nose isn't runny where you are!

More Photos from our SC Trip

I realized the other day that I didn't finish posting photos from our trip to SC. Once we got back to Texas, I was in birthday mode. So, here are some more pics.

Week in Review

Monday: cleaned house and went to the grocery store

Tuesday: Karaoke fun with the Moms Club. Lil Boo loved standing there listening to the music, but he was too shy to sing. We also rode the train at the zoo that afternoon. We were going to a dinosaur exhibit at the museum but the line was crazy b/c of Spring Break! There were 100+ people in line, so Boo and I drove on by and went to the zoo to ride the train. He kept saying, "I ride train" over and and over again.

Wednesday: St Patrick's Day. We made this shamrock at the library.

Thursday: Playgroup at the park

Friday: Gymnastics!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Juicy Tidbits

Just a couple of things today, but they're good...juicy, if you will!

I enjoyed a Moms Night Out a couple of weeks ago with some gals from the Moms Club. We went to one of those paint your own pottery places. We had so much fun! Usually, I never know what to paint at those places and spend half of my time trying to decide. But, this time I had a plan. I wanted to paint some Clemson wine glasses. So, I printed out a paw from the internet and was ready to go. They turned out so good and thus, are my latest masterpieces! On the inside bottom, I painted '98 on B-man's and '00 on mine to represent our years of graduation.

So, here they are, front and back!
Aren't they cute?

My other juicy tidbit is this video of Boo! When we ask him to say, "I love you!", he always says, "oooooo". But, now we're trying to break it down. If we start of with the "I", he follows up with the whole phrase.

This melts my heart so much!!!
After the "I love you" he's saying "again, please".
It was bedtime and that's why B-man says, "last time..."

Happy Tuesday to you!

From Winter to Summer In a Flash

I think it's safe to say that we've officially entered the warm season here in Texas. Today was beautiful! Sunny and nearly 80 degrees. Just this past weekend it was chilly and rainy. I said "summer" in the title because, who I am kidding, I don't think there's going to be much of a Spring around here.

Walk for Life 5K walk this past Saturday with the Moms Club

Someone is happy to be outsiiiide!

I took Grady for his 2 year checkup yesterday and he did soooo good. He hopped on the scale to be weighed and stood like a big boy to get his height checked. He even talked and interacted with our provider. I couldn't believe it. He has definitely grown so much since the 18 month checkup.

He weighs 32 lbs and is 35 1/4 inches tall and is doing GREAT!!
You know, except for the fact that he threw a soup can onto the floor from the buggy this morning at Wal-mart and it busted open spraying soup everywhere....

Birthday Party

We had Boo's birthday party at a great little indoor play place called the Play Station. We've been there before for several birthdays and play dates, so he recognized where we were as soon as we pulled into the parking spot. He had a BLAST!!!! I think it was the perfect little party for our Lil Boo!

Thanks to my friend K for letting me borrow her tractor cake pan.
I think it turned out really cute, if I do say so myself.

"Tractor!"

Yummy!
