Story time with a Little

At The CarWash ( in a sing songy disco voice)

Little Words

I was mindlessly staring into the computer screen trying to let my brain settle down and I happened to come back to reality in time to hear this little conversation ...

LmG: You see that picture?
BbD: Yeah Yeah!
LmG : That's me when I was a baby
BbD: You were a baby?
LmG: Yeah once upon a time I was
BbD: WOW


I just sat here staring at them standing on the couch looking at a selection of baby pictures I have hung on the wall of the littles. Kind of in awe, kind of surprised and defiantly teary eyed. I wonder what else they talk about when I am around or when they don't think I am listening.

AHHH Boredom

When boredom and Crayola washable markers meet you get toddler ink 

Cleaning out old photos on my Iphone. Thought I would post this one of BBD and his art work. I am very good at drawing happy faces and cupcakes. Gabriel loved the idea so he requested the same on his hand and then had fun washing it off.  David wanted to keep it until after dinner.

Breakfast Bentos

Sunday was a busy day for me I awas headed out to Napa with some of E's aunts for a lunch date and a day of tasting. I was very excited since it was my first trip to Napa and we all know how much I have come to love drinking wine.

Before I headed out for a fun in the sun Sunday I had to deal with household business. Not a lot . I just got the littles up and situated for the morning. I decided on a breakfast bento of waffles with syrup, yogurt with bunnies on top and a banana.

No comapling from LMG. He gobbled it right up!


That's a runny nose for BBD . He is not turning his nose up at his breakfast bento.

Friday Fun

 

 

Leave a massage table out because you were being to lazy to put it away after the great massage your hubby gave you and this is what is sure to happen the next morning. Littles  using it as a make shift slide in the living room, along with their matching Spider man pals. I was waiting for the eventual toddler/ preschooler meltdown that would have resulted in either:
A: One or both littles getting hurt
B: One or both littles being put on time out

To my Friday off delight that never happened they  played happliy togehter long enough for me to snap these pictures then promptly put the table away before real trouble came my way.

A little Snack Attack

After work on Friday I was looking around the house for something quick and fun for the littles to munch on. My mom had sent home some ice cream sandwiches a week or so ago and I had two left... now what to do what t do that was the question.


Fun-Ky them up of course!

Snaps From a FroYo Shop

 

  

  

  

 

  

  

  

 

CV has a new FroYo shop in town. I am a huge fan of froyo of all sorts. I am glad it has made a comeback but it is starting to feel like whatever corner you are on these days just a hop skip and a jump away you can find some fro yo... is this good or bad? The jury is still out I guess. Anyways. I was home on Friday it it was miserably hot. I picked LMg up from school a little ealry and took the littles for their first froyo experience. They of course like their mama  loved it. I think they just liked being out and about with me again during the week on a hot date (literally) I tried the dulce de leche froyo this time around. It was my first visit to this place and I wanted to try a new flavor since the froyo spot I frequent usually only has the plain tart.

As expected it was sweet and tasty. The littles got cookies and cream  topped with LMG's toppings of choice. m and m's, gummy bears and fruity pebbles. While we were munching LMG told me  "Mommy this is a great snack!" it was cute so I thought I would share. I think he was just amazed that I let them have candy in a bowl with froyo and  spoon. He could hardly contain his delight and ate all of his portion and then what was left of mine. BBD... hes a foodie people as little as he maybe he hardly balks at a chance to try something new and he was the first to finish his bowl of froyo.

David... Cutie Snap of the Week

A snap of BBD in the back yard a couple of weeks ago. I have not posted about our backyard activities so I thought I would just post a pic and blog about all of the backyard stuff, gardening work we have done and all of the stuff the boys DON"T play with another day. I love these pictures of him so cute!

OUCHIE!

My list of Sunday activities was put on hold when BBD had to go to the emergency room for getting sand in his eye. I know not really an emergency, but when your baby is crying and rubbing his eye nonstop for 3 hours you become a little frantic. Earlier in the day BBD was playing in his sand box and must have gotten something in his eye. We ran to Target to get some shopping done but before we left i noticed the puffy, redness swelling and tearing. After lots of flushing of his little eyeball and then his eye not opening at all I called the advice nurse and hustled him in.

Almost 3 hours later I arrived home with a still not so happy little guy with an scratched cornea and pupil. I know not a life altering aliment but I was happy I got it looked at and medication for it so it would not get worse. BTW by the time we left the hospital the piece of sand must have come out because the doctor could not find it. David got some drops to numb his eyeball and then some florescent drops put in so we could see if there were scratches under a back light. Such an adventure.


finger monitor as we were being admitted








He does not look unhappy with all the running around he was doing in the waiting room but if you look closely the left eye is puffy and red.


with his hospital glove balloon.. thanks to the nurse he was a little happier after that.







I was more irritated about the divit then David was


Headed home after a long day of eye rubbing and waiting.Once we got there David requested some lucky charms cereal and some playtime while I cleaned his room and Gabriel's room. Never any rest for mama. BTW we have drops we need to put in his eye for the next 10 days 2 drops four times a day, to make sure the scratch does not get an infection. His eye still looking puffy but he is still a handsome baby.

Sticky Baby

Pics from our trip to the ice creamery last Friday. David was a sticky mess. Why he thought his ice cream dish was a cone is beyond me.

Littles having it out. Oh gosh the great pictures you can take with double stroller madness but the commotion it can cause in public. This is an all to familiar situation!
