Weekly Wednesday with tons of pictures to prove it

We have had some really unseasonally awesome weather lately. It has been almost tolerable the last few weeks. We took advantage of the great weather today by taking the little boys to the park while we were waiting for it to be time to get the big kids from school. Since Boog started pre-school, it has really cut into our Wednesdays. Usually when the weather is nice, we head to the zoo but we have not been able to make it. (Sigh) I guess we will have to skip music one Tuesday to go. I am sure Boog would not want to miss pre-school since he has decided that he loves it!

When we got to the park, Tutti-Frutti was not impressed with the swings at all. My goal was to just snap a few pictures then rescue him from the horror or the baby swing.


He was going to have no part of swinging.

Then he decided that maybe it was not so bad afterall.

He decided to holler and scream with delight instead of crying...

He was hanging on and just a swangin'.

This is the screaming face...

Looking for Daddy and Boog.

Once he figured out that he liked swinging...he really liked swinging.

The would laugh and giggle and scream with delight.



He even decided that he did not always have to hang on. He was just leaning forward and swinging.





Boog found this thing that you stand on and spin in circles. Daddy would spin him until he was dizzy and try to get him to walk. It was funny.

You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round, round round.

Then you watch me try to walk...hehe

Then you get me to smile all cute because I was dizzy...

Then they hit the monkey bars...the right place for a smallish monkey!

After the monkey crossed the bars, he went for a swing.

And he laughed.

And laughed.

And laughed.

And tried to make a straight face.

Then apparently, he tried to lick his ear!

Then laughed some more.

And some more.

He even threw his head back in laughter!

Then he climbed something that made Mommy nearly have a stroke.

He made funny faces on the way up.

He got nearly to the top.

He made it to the top.

He made Mommy hearly have another stroke.

He looked so proud of himself.

He paused to look adorable.

He is looking like such a big boy lately. Have I said how much that hurts my feelings?

They found some crazy bouncy jiggly thing to get up on. So, of course I took some more pictures.

You know, because that is what Mommies do.

He was playing on some swinging thing that was chained to the ground, you are supposed to step from one to the other.

He was trying to tell Daddy to come help him. Of course here he goes looking all adorable again.

Yep, adorable once again.

This is the "I am mad, you hurt my feelings because I do not want to leave" face. And yes, it is adorable too!Yep, adorable once again.

You know, when your husband plays on the playground equipment, you cannot resist taking pictures of it then blogging them, right?

He was on the spinny thing.

Then he grabbed this big wheel like thingy and spun himself around. Now that my friends was funny!

Crazy legs and all!

The little dude likes the facial hair and the glasses and today he was doubly happy. Daddy had both!

Yea, I think he might be a dentist.

Glasses...got'em.

Sweet success.

Not me! Monday



Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

When my youngest sweet baby fell into the toy box this morning head first, it was not me who paused long enough to find my phone to snap a quick picture before I rescued him. Nope, not me I would never risk my baby's comfort just to get a picture! I also would never admit that I wish my camera had been close so I could have gotten a better one.

It is not the same sweet, youngest child of mine that has recently discovered that he can climb...on everything! Nope, he is still little and shows no sign of interest in getting into or on top of things! Good thing too!

My sweet baby is also not already 13 months old! Good greif, where does the time go?! He is not still the size of a 9 or 10 month old either. Nope, he is huge!

It totally does not baffle me that he eats everything you put in front of him and a lot of it and still is not growing that fast. I do not find it strange that all of my other kids were chunky monks by this age and he is a tiny scrawny thing. Nope, I would never pass my time comparing the size of my children.

It is not me who has not been sleeping lately. Nope, I sleep like a dream as soon as I hit the pillow. You know...like a man!

It is also not my sweet little one who has been waking up all hours of the night again. Nope, he started sleeping through the night and he does it beautifully, every night.


My sweet Boog did not tell me after school one day last week that I picked him up too early! Nope, not my baby, he is waiting with baited breath for mommy and daddy to pick him up from school everyday. He has a miserable time the whole time he is there and cannot wait to leave. It was not him who wants to stay and eat lunch!

It is not me that wants to cry because my baby loves pre-school!

Last night, it was not my dear oldest child who scared the living daylights out of me around midnight or after because, "Something smells weird in my room!" What? At midnight you should be sleeping, not smelling things. Nor was it me who was still awake tossing and turning when he came in! Nope, remember I sleep like a dream as soon as my head hits the pillow!

Well, I think that about covers my week so head on over to MckMama's and see what everyone else has to hide!

Happy Not me'ing!
