Our Trip To The Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

So we went to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm today with our StrollerFriends playgroup. Andrew had a blast. He loved feeding the goats, sheep (or as he says sheeps), and cows. Typical though, the animal he wanted to see and chase the most was the cat. Uh, he has 2 of those at home. Then he wanted to climb on all the tractors/4 wheelers that were parked. We got some really good pictures, but of course he wouldn't smile. I just don't get it. He smiles ALL the time, so why not when I ask him to???? He had a great time on the hay ride and picking out his pumpkin from the field. Even though he threw a couple in the process. Anyway here are some of the pictures we took.

Andrew Anecdotes ~ Happy Birthday to You

It is just too cute! Every time Andrew is "alone" I hear him singing "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, (then in a higher tone) happy birthday to Andrew, happy birthday to you". It makes me smile every time. Especially since he is getting the tone of the tune right.

We were also watching "The Greatest Game Ever Played" yesterday and when the guy missed the put Andrew said "ah, poor guy". This of course cracked me up. When did he start knowing when to say things like that?

Follicle Follies

So, went in for yet another follicle scan and again, I have only one of the right size. Which is good. This one was plenty big, 2.8, so that is promising. I go into the office now and everyone knows me by name, and it is a big office with like 5 doctors there. Now I am just playing the waiting game yet again.

Duh!!!!!

I don't know why it took me so long to figure this out. You know how when you make a PB&J sandwich for your kiddo the jelly always seems to get all over them? I don't know why I didn't put 2 and 2 together before this. When I was little my dad would take peanut butter and jelly and mix it up and eat it on crackers. So the other day I mad Andrew a PB&J burrito and the jelly squeezed out everywhere. Meanwhile I am making PB&J mixed up for myself for a snack. DING!!!! Light bulb goes on. Why don't I mix up the PB&J and put it on his sandwiches/burritos?!? Tah-dah, no more sticky jelly mess. Yes, I know, a very random thought. If you haven't done it already, try it. It tastes yummy too. Andrew even likes it better.

Friday Funnies

It was so cute; yesterday after Marc left for work Andrew came into the closet where I was ironing clothes and had this big sad face. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I miss Daddy". Awwwww!

Those of you who watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will know what I am talking about on this one. At the end of each show Andrew has now decided that the 2 of us are going to dance like the characters. I don't know who looks silliest (or is it most silly any way), Andrew or me. He is also wanting me to sing along and let me tell you that song gets stuck in your head. I am thinking all day long "Hot dog, hot dog, hot-dig-itty-dog......"

Wordless Wednesday ~ I think someone has been watching too much Sesame Street

Andrew Anecdotes ~ "I boobs too!"

A couple of funny Andrew stories for you.

First off, the other day I had to go bra shopping. It was soooo time. Anyway, I had Andrew with me and as soon as we were in the bra department he starts trying to grab everything off the racks. When he does not succeed, he then starts throwing goldfish everywhere. Finally, I make it into the dressing room and start to try on my things. Then I her this being said in his loudest voice:
Andrew:"I take my shirt off too".
Me: No leave it on. Then he proceeds to take it off anyway.

Andrew: "I bra too!!!"
Me : No mommy needs to try them on.
Andrew" I BRA TOO!!!" so I give him my old one.

Andrew: "I boobs too! One boob, another boob" as he is pointing at his nipples. "Mommy boobs; I boobs too!!!!!"

He then tries to put his shirt on and when I look over he is sitting in his stroller with his body through the neck and it is around his waist with one arm stuck in the arm hole.

I wonder what the other people in the dressing room were thinking.

Second story: Tuesday night I get back from RTC and in like 2 minutes I hear Andrew screaming bloody murder. I go up there and our cat Smudge is sitting in the middle of the floor with his tail all poofed out. Apparently he scared Andrew. Now ever since then Andrew is telling me that there are monsters in his room and in our room. He won't go upstairs by himself for long anymore. He goes up then I hear " mommy, I scared! Monsters!" Poor guy he use to be so fearless.
