The Saga Continues...


This morning I heard the lawnmower outside. I looked out the window to confirm, and there the guy was again. This time he was on a riding mower though. He really should be on a riding mower. He is old.

We hurried and got dressed and rehearsed what Logan was going to say to the guy.

"I am sorry I yelled at you. I will pick up my toys outside from now on."

Logan wrote on a piece of paper.

"cry lomor man" which we all know says "sorry lawnmower man" and drew a picture of the nice guy who mows our grass.

When we got outside he was no where to be seen. He had already finished and gone. And there leaning against our back door was a brand new toy car and a bubble set.

Boy do I feel bad.

I fell asleep at 8:00 this morning while nursing Phoebe. I guess I must be tired. I woke up to Logan in a fit. Crying and bumbling about how the lawnmower had chewed up Toby and Thomas.

Long story short... the guy who mows our lawn was outside doing his job. Logan couldn't find his most prized trains, Toby & Thomas. He assumed they had been left outside. THEN he went outside and unleashed his crying rage out on the poor lawn guy who had kindly stopped the lawnmower to see what Logan wanted.

After Logan unleashed on the guy, he came back inside still crying. I asked if he had looked inside for his trains and proceeded to move a pillow and *wa-la!* There they sat on the carpet, safe and un-chewed.

I made him go back outside to apologize, but now the lawnmower guy is scared of Logan's fury and won't talk to him.

Oh boy. I am going to have my hands full with this kid as he gets older.

Look what I found just now. I thought it was so cute, I had to sneak a few pictures when they weren't looking.


It's Cold...Or is it Warm?

This week we have been excited to finally get outside because it was WARM!!! Well except that today it is cold. I think this is the most aggravating season. It can't make up its mind about being cold or warm. Come on! Make a decision!

Look closely. That says "mom". If only I was really that skinny.

These are train tracks Logan is drawing. I taught them how to draw these after Logan saw them at the store and wanted some. Have you seen how expensive those things are? I don't think we will be buying those any time soon.

Back to the real world I guess...

Hey all. I am back. The past couple weeks have been very eventful. As in lots of stuff has been happening.

My parents came back for good. They spoiled my kids rotten while I packed up the house. Trevor was off gallevanting around while I did all the hard work. No I jest. I am so proud of him and how he has taken care of us. And while I absolutely DETEST moving, it had to be done.

My mom packed up the kitchen for me. Totally grateful to her for that. Although there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to anything packed in any one box. HAHA! Love you mom! You are a nut though! Logan and I have been having a good time going on "treasure hunts" looking for stuff.

So now we are here and it feels good to be getting on to life. The house is an absolute disaster though since I lack the motivation to unpack. Hey, give me a break! This is our 8th place in six years!

We celebrated my birthday a few days ago and even though I am not looking forward to the big one next year, this year I am still feeling young.

And now a big announcement:

*wink* I know what you are thinking, and it's not that.

I am going to school online! YAY! Photography school! Even better right?!?

SO excited!
