My Life in Pictures!!

We drove up tp NY last night for the LONG weekend.

Chillin in my dog bean bag chair at Babci's watching The Wizard of Oz.

Then me and mom went to A&W for dinner, ordering myself a hot dog and french fries :)  Mom was SO proud.

On Wednesday night I played with mom in the basement.  We played Dragon vs. Dinosaur.  Mom was the dinosaur and I was the dragon.  Guess who won?  All I had to say was "I am blowing fire" and mom's dinosaur had to fall down.  Mom doesn't think it was a fair fight.

So then we traded, mom being silly.

Bath time...I was dumping water out of the tub and mom told me to stop.  I knew it was wrong and I knew I was in trouble with this sly look.

I love my basement, ALL of my toys are down there.  Mom loves my basement, because ALL of my toys are down there.  Dad loves my basement, because he can be silly with me down there.

So Monday morning on the way to school Ryan was busy talking, talking, talking.  He told me that birds eat corn (okay, yes), that giraffes eat leaves (okay, yes), that horses eat hay (okay, yes) and that pigs eat LOBSTER (WHAT?!?!?!).  I just had to laugh.  I don't know of many pigs that get the seafood treatment.  :)

Then at the dinner table last night I asked Ryan, "How was school?" and HIS reply "I don't want to talk about that right now".  WHAT!?!?!?  Where does he come up with this stuff.  His usual reply is "nothing".  I can't BELIEVE that THAT RESPONSE starts at such a young age.  I expect the nothing response when he is 12-16, but NOT 3.

It was a lazy day today.  We said goodbye to Babci around noon and I took an early nap.

I helped mom make cake pops and cupcakes last night.  Don't they look good?

After my nap we went shopping to find a Woody toy.  I recently picked out Buzz with a giftcard to Toys R Us and I NEEDED Woody.  I paid for him all by myself with the money in my hamburger bank.

It took us awhile but we are all moved into our new home.  A big thank you to my cousin Brian, my father-in-law Jim and my brother-in-law Chris for helping us move all of our big stuff IN A SNOWSTORM right after Christmas.

Our front room with a beautiful bay window.  We don't have alot of furniture so all of the leftover stuff ended up in there.
