Reading in Chloe's room

Austin decided to catch up on his reading while playing in Chloe's dog cage.

I got you hat Daddy!

The other night Austin got Brad's hat and was walking around trying to wear it. However as you can see it's a little too big for him. He decided to ask Daddy why the hat wouldn't fit him.

Daddy told Austin to try and put it on Daddy's head and see if it would fit.

Perfect.

Snack Time

Just had to take some pictures of my cute little man while he was having snack. Look at that sweet little smile. Also, check out the cute bib~yes I made it. I finally opened up my sewing machine that I got 3 years ago for Christmas.

Organizing the pantry

I decided to join The Masked Mommy  in her cabinet powwow.  I decided to first tackle my kitchen pantry.  I have to admit that I am a little OCD when it comes to organizing.  I try to keep everything in perfect order.  However, in the last few months I have become a little slack at organizing & keeping up with things.    I have found it very hard to work from home, keep up with a toddler, take care of two dogs, my husband & myself.  So needless to say recently I have not been doing as good as I would like around the house.  I feel so much better about things when everything is in order.  So I have decided to start trying to get everything back in order around our house and this is where I started the "pantry".  I am going to try & start spring cleaning one room a week until I have touched everything in our house.  I want it to all be clean & organized again.  Hopefully I will make some progress around here.  No our house is not a "pigstie" but it has become lived in.  I have to change that.  So from now until the time Austin gets out of school in May I want to get it all in order.  Let me know if you want to join me in my spring cleaning adventure.  Who knows maybe we can be an inspiration for each other.   Until I am done, please excuse my random postings about my progress.  I am using my blog as a way to hold myself accountable.

Papa's Birthday

We had a family cookout for Papa's birthday while they were here.  Papa wanted a picture of him & Austin with the birthday cake.  Austin didn't seem to happy about it at first.  That is until Papa let him stick his fingers in the cake and have a little taste.  

Playing outside with Grandma-ma & Papa

Grandma-ma & Papa came to visit for Papa's birthday weekend (well actually from Wen-Monday).  We had lots of fun while they were here.  We spent many afternoons playing outside when the weather was nice.  Austin has discovered that playing in the mulch can be very fun.  As much as I hate for him to get dirty I have been trying very hard to let him be a little boy & explore the world.  

Finally Got in...

Austin has always been so fascinated with Chloe's dog cage.  Why is it that kids seems to love the things around the house that are not suppose to be toys?  Well, Austin has tried very hard many many times to open the dog cage and has never succeeded.  The other day, I guess I forgot to lock the cage back up when I let Chloe out.  Of course Austin let me know very quick.  I look over and the above it what I found.  I have to admit that it entertained him for at least 30 min.  He was too funny in there and he had a blast.  I tell you it really is the "little things" with kids.
