Conversations

Hazel is over today and it is always so funny to listen to her and Garrett . . . a transcript of their conversations.

Hazel = playing with Summer's dollhouse. I'm sitting downstairs while they are up.
Hazel: "You can't play Garrett, this is a baby's toy"
Garrett: "Its Summer's, and we SHARE"
Hazel: "Okay"
Garrett: "Hazel, the dog broke the house . . . he fell down and knocked everything over and tripped."
Hazel: "No!"
Garrett: "Yes he did see! He falled down. And that's what happened, don't you see? That's what happened. Only, I don't think he is going to win. "
Hazel: "Up the hill!" (They have clearly moved over to the train table at this point). Poor Hazel can hardly get a word in edge wise because Garrett just talks, and talks . . . and talks.

Here's a video of them reading a book earlier after nap time. The sound isn't great, but I didn't want them to see me filming, and I was using the webcam on the laptop.



They have been playing "Doggy" all day. They managed to lock themselves in Aspen's crate. They thought it was hilarious. Poor Aspen, he wasn't so sure how he felt about 2 3 year olds in his crate :-)

Week in review

We've had another busy week around here . . .

On Monday we went to the zoo with friends and had T-ball practice.









Tuesday was buying club day. We hung out at Miss Allison's for an awesome Dr. Seuss birthday party (including twister, planting, and of course cute little Dr. Seuss themed food--Miss Allison is the bestest). Garrett also get a cool new airplane for improving his sleep behaviors. Daddy liked playing with it too.




Wednesday was school, Thursday the kids were feeling under the weather. We went and visited a few schools, though, and that developed on Friday with me picking one and signing Garrett up. I really hope this preschool program works out well for him--only time will tell! We spent Friday afternoon chilling at the track watching the Koni and GrandAm cars catch some practice laps for tomorrow's races.

Still oh so in love with my Oh Snap carrier from Babyhawk. Summer loves it. She just chills back there whenever we go somewhere :-)

They had a fabulous display where Garrett got to check out all of the safety gear. The girl at the display was awesome, she helped Garrett check EVERYTHING out!




Picnic between laps!

What can I say, the kid loves racing!

Happy weekend!!!

Mr. Athletic!

We've had a busy few days, especially for Garrett. He had his first T-ball practice on Thursday and LOVED it. It was pretty hilarious watching him and the other 4 year olds try to figure out something new. This evening he went to run his 2nd "running race"--its always a joy to see how excited he gets about these!! :-)
This is what I get when I say "Garrett, show me your glove" :-)
Daddy is helping out . . .
Afterward, Garrett said his favorite part was "Hitting the ball as many times as I wanted to!"

Garrett and his buddy Corbin--note that G is snarfing a sandwich (he had just eaten dinner, of course!)The boys post race. They were so proud of themselves!

Goodbye hugs--Garrett was so happy to have Corbin there, he told me on they way home "I couldn't have done it without Corbin mom--he's my friend! We wrestle, because we are friends and that is what friends do." Boys!!!!! :-)

Classics By The Bay/Hanging with Nana and Pawpaw

Brad's Grandparents came for a visit this week. We went to the "Classics By the Bay" car show on Sunday--the boys had a blast looking at the old cars :-) We also got tickets to take Garrett to the Grand Am race in a few weeks--he's so excited!!

I got my much anticipated new carrier--a BabyHawk Oh Snap. LOVE IT!! Its from the same company that made the MaiTei I used for so long with both kids. The straps were too long on it though, and tying it wasn't working out with Summers wiggly nature and trying to keep track of Garrett when out on my own. This carrier is FAB--all buckles, no tying, and I still can have that nice babyhawk design. So far Summer seems to love it :-) Added bonus, it matches my diaper bag, I LOVE carinval bloom :-)We were sad to say goodbye to Nana and Pawpaw today, we had a great visit. :-)

Just another week

Its been a typical busy week around here--after our fire station visit on Monday morning,
Brad got off early on Monday and we headed out to Biscayne National Park. As we left he asked "What, is Summer walking?" because I didn't bring the stroller. Why, yes, honey, she is :-) She walked pretty much the whole way, busy little girl!








We've spent the second half of the week recuperating from the first half, as we always do. Its been chilly here, so we've been inside most of the time. I'm endlessly thankful for the entire room of educational stuff that keeps Garrett occupied. He spent most of today doing "Its A Match"--he's working on the Level II and III books now, which are 4+. We're spending a lot of time at home working on letter recognition, because 2 days a week of school isn't really helping him with that part. He's loving learning, I really hope I can find him a place to go to school next year that will continue to foster that!

Summer is a total art nut. She loves to color. But, being not yet 1.5, she still has to try and eat the marker!
And with that, we welcome the weekend!!
