Wordless Wednesday (almost) ~ My Black Tooth


This is what happened when Andrew fell and hit his mouth
on the kitchen floor almost a month ago.
It didn't turn black until a couple of weeks ago.
Now it is even darker.

Andrew Anecdotes ~ "She's Lying"

(Yes, I know, this picture is from almost a year ago)

Marc has been golfing the last few weekends and every Friday or Saturday evening he and Andrew go out to clean his clubs. Well, Andrew comes in and wants to clean his plastic club and I think he tried to do it in the toilet the first time before deciding that the sink was better. Then the day Marc does go golfing and tells me all day how he wants to go to. I tell him that he can't because daddy is at the golf course and he can't go there. The Andrew tells me "I go golf course too" I go course tooooo!!!!!". Well, last night Andrew asks me to take him to the course and I tell him "only daddy can because mommy doesn't know how" then Marc says softly in the background "She's lying" (which I was, I can sort of play golf) then Andrew plops in the chair with a pout on his face and says real loud "She's lying!!!" As if anyone needs more proof that you need to be careful what you say in front of little ears.

Pumpkins at the Arboretum

A couple of weeks ago Andrew and I went to the Arboretum with my 2 Aunts, cousin and her baby. It was a really nice day until we left to go eat. Andrew threw up while we were eating at Souper Salad. I think he had drank too much chocolate milk, because he was fine before and after. I was sooooooo mortified! Anyway here are some of the pictures I took.

P.S. I didn't know until later that I could take that bar off the stroller.

There are a ton of Butterflies in the flowers behind him.

What a ham!!

Horseback Riding


We went to a friend's birthday party yesterday and there was a little petting zoo and a pony to ride. Andrew had a blast and kept going back to ride the horse, "Dallas". He loves horses and this is the first time he got to ride one. Of course, the most interesting thing about the horse was when in pooped. I don't know what it is about my kid and poop. Everyday when Marc comes home he wants to go out in the backyard and "pick up poop!". We took the picture with our phone, so it is a little fuzzy.

"Neil Diamond Rocks!"


Last night Marc took me to the only concert I have really ever wanted to see, Neil Diamond. Yes, I know, I am only 30, but he has the best songs and I love them. Not that anyone needed more proof that I am the world's biggest nerd. I had such a great time and would totally go again if given the chance. It was funny to see all the people there. Most were in their 60's or older. We saw a bunch of little old men and women in wheelchairs and with canes. I probably was in the 1% of the crowd under 35. Another funny thing I noticed was kind of a sign of the times. When it came time to hold up your lighter, there were only a few. Most people held the lighted screen of their cell phones or glow sticks. I guess people really don't smoke anymore. I did have to buy a T-shirt and let me tell you I am not sure who they look at when they make a woman's X-L shirt as you can see in the picture. I was smart and got my souvenir before the show. Below is a picture Marc took of the line to buy "merch" as we were leaving.
