Meet the newest member of our little family...

Kyler asked me last night if he could get a goldfish. Seeing as how over the month or so he went from wanting a puppy to a kitten to a peacock, I said, "Yeah. Okay. I think that I can do a fish." He picked out this fish and named it "Milkshake." So, give a warm welcome to Milkshake. Kyler says he is the fastest fish in the world.

My crazy day...

Summer Program started 2 weeks ago, so now I am at work full-time. Kyler started swimming lessons and I am taking 2 summer classes online as well. This was my day today: Get up @ 5:45am. Get ready for our Zoo field trip. Drive Kyler to his sister's. Get to work. Get everything ready for Zoo trip. Get 31 kids ready for Zoo trip. Ride a school bus over an hour to Zoo trip. Walk around the Zoo for two hours in 105 degree heat. Get back on the bus for over an hour back to school. Pick up Kyler. Take Kyler to swim lessons. Swim lessons were cancelled. Take Kyler to pet store to buy Milkshake. Blah, blah, blah. I'm tired just writing all of that- and that only brings us to about 5:30 or so.

holy grey's finale!!!

it is about freakin' time!!!!!

fashion sense?

yep! he's 2 and proud of it! he picks out his own clothes and shoes (need i remind you, it's almost june) and he found the hat in the bottomless pit i call my car. after we got back from the store, i told him that i needed to take a picture of his cool outfit, and he posed like this saying, "what's up?" below is a picture of his "cookie face." the baker gave him a free cookie and kyler said, "thank you, sir." gotta love it!

Low, low, low, low

I told Larry that I should have written down all of the funny things that would have been great for this blog... I have of course forgotten most of them. Some things that will live on though are... Apple bottom jeans, Giselle, and Scramble. Taking Emma out to dinner. Cute Amish people. Tornado watch. Obama in town. Pisser. Isaac making stirfry. Emma making kabobs. And pudding. Sammy. Red. Juno. Dan in Real Life. Horseland. Missing luggage. Missing wallets. Missing rental car keys. Coffee. Spicy Top Ramen. And so much more...

Holy Mass Media!

Okay, so Kyler loves this show, "Rocket." Well, it's actually called "Little Einsteins," but we know it as "Rocket" down here in these parts. He watches this show every day (in my defense, it teaches him all about classical music, fine art, colors, counting and landmarks around the world). So, like every DVD, there are previews, right? Well, I never thought he paid much attention to the commercials before the show, just like I never noticed him paying attention to commercials when I'm watching TV. Tonight, I'm sitting with him and I hear him quietly singing along with the previews for a new movie coming out. The movie? "Enchanted Tales- Princess Stories." He's singing, "I'm more than a peacock princess, I am!" and "I promise! And a princess never breaks a promise!" Of course this is in two-year old language, but still, it was recognizable. Then he says, "We need a little perseverance!" Good right? As he sits down next to me on the couch, "Rocket" comes on the screen. He is very excited as he exclaims, "Going to Egypt? Hieroglyphics!" I can't help but laugh. He loves falling asleep to Rocket. He loves eating with Rocket. We have 5 DVDs, 1 audio CD for the car, and more Rocket clothes and toys than anyone even knew existed. He loves the characters- Leo can do anything, Quincy is "cool" and June is "pretty." (To quote Kyler). But no one holds a candle to his Annie. He has loved her from the moment he saw her, on a treasure hunting episode when he was 1 year old. He sings all of her songs with her and kisses the TV when she comes on. His first love is a cartoon character. (At least he has good taste- she's blonde...) Nothing will ever take him away from her image on the TV...unless of course it's a Red Lobster commercial...
