So freaking cute.

Mom and Dad brought Logan a Woody doll from disney world. He LOVES it, wanted to nap with it, take him outside etc. He asked to watch Toy Story the movie. If your not familuir with it theres a sceen where Andy is playing with Woody, sliding down the banaster, then launching Woody acorss the room using the foot rest of a reliner. Well can you guess what Logan just did? Yeap you guessed it down the banaster, then tried the recliner launch. So freaking cute, just warms my heart.

Thinking of Grandmom Thelma

This morning I've been sewing Logans Peter Pan halloween costume, while little man watches the Peter Pan movie over and over. It makes me think of the stories of Grandmom taking my father as a little boy to see Peter Pan 9 times! She also was an amazing seamstress. The woman could make anything and did so very very very well. I regret that I didn't not get the chance to learn from her. By the time I was old enough and interested she had stopped sewing due to vision issues. I wish she could have met Logan I know she would have loved him to peices and to see him in a Peter Pan costume would have tickled her pink.

Black gold!

If your a gardener you know what I'm talking about. I emptyed one of the composters this morning. I started siffting the goods thinking I wouldnt get very much boy was I wrong! I filled every large pot I own ans I haven't finished. The timing was perfect I needed dirt badly, I just didnt want to pay for any. Oh and earlier this week I picked my first veggie from the green house of a plant I started from seed. :)


Little man either has a cold or is getting allergied. I hate it when he feels bad. He woke up 2 times last night just calling for me. Once when I went up he litterally rolled over and went back to sleep, the second time he was back asleep before I got there. I had to wake him this morning so we could take Mitch to the airport. Little man didnt fight me but he was in no way happy to get out of bed. I offered him hot chocolate for breakfast (heated carnation instant breakfast) and he pepped right up.

I was thinking about painting Logan's room this week, but I'm not sure if I want to open that can of worms. I've got a bunch of other projects to finish. And I'd really like to get the house clean while Mitch is away. It's so much easier with out him around things actually stay clean for more then 5 mins.

On a side note I sold an old outdoor dog kennel I have. I'm please since I made some cash off it and its one more thing out of the garage. I've also sold some things on Ebay and have a bunch more listed and to list. I'm again looking forward to making some money and getting this stuff out of the house.

Still hasn't set in.

Half the time I still don't belive that I'm a SAHM. It will be late at night and I'm thinking "Oh I should go to bed since it's Monday I have to get up to go to work in the morning" Then it hits me NO I don't...he he he. I still havent gotten into a routine yet as far as when to do the house things. I think I'll try and start that next week once Logan is in school. This week he only went for an hour which was just enough time to unload the dishwasher one day and shower the other. But let me say what a nice shower it was, I wasnt rushed, didnt have to listen for Logan or deal with him tring to get in with me. Ahh the simple pleasures.

Speaking of Logan he's upstairs not napping doing his fake cry. He almost seems to be on an every other day nap schedule. weird huh? I've got a million things to do but just dont want to get off my butt, I've been dealing with a stiff neck/upper shoulders for 5 days now its really starting to annoy me and its sucking the energy and modivation out of me.

ok thats enough babble for today, and sorry spell check isnt working for me today.

A moment for the books.

We had a good day nothing spectacular, playground, grocery store, dinner, play time, etc. As we were settling into our bedtime routine Logan grabbed his Moon light. It's a moon shaped battery powered light the you push on the surface to light up. He has to hold it while we read the bed time books. He grabbed it off the dresser and dropped it hard on the floor. At first look I thought it was totally broken, but nope a piece just popped out of place I pushed it back in and on came the light. Logan gasped in joy looked at the light then me and said "Thank you for fixing it Mommy, I'm so proud of you" It made my day. :)

Weekend report

Let's see what did I do sonce last I posted.

Went to Logan's Parent teacher conference. I guess my ecpectations were to high I thought we would talk about Logan and what he knows go over the 2 page personality profile they asked me to fill out. But it was real short, heres your Sept calander you'll get one every month, here's the when to keep your sick kid at home rules, here's your field trip form and Oh here's your first fund rasier packet. Have a nice day see you next week. We'll see how it all goes.

Saturday Logan and I played out side a lot, and I helped Mitch put together the new trailer. It went surprizingly well, I have to laugh about this as I have explained in the past we dont work well together. The main reason is we both want to be in charge. Well this time I just said I'm the worker your the manager tell me what to do, then he was all "Oh I have toread the directions and figure it out" LMAO Yes sir thats the plan.

Today was my day to sleep in oh wonderfull sleep. I just need Mitch to understand that letting Logan run up and down the stairs yelling, and then "playing" a recorder is not condusive to Mommy being able to sleep. Oh well I didnt drag my butt out of bed till 10:30 so nice. But I woke up with a killer stiff neck thats still hurting me after a hot shower, a short neck massage, getting desperate a muscel relaxer. Hopefully it will losen up tonight, I meeting a Mom at my place in the morning to walk over to the park it's a mile each way.

Tommorow id the park in the morning, then after nap I think we'll head over to Kohl's they are having a BOGO sale on shoes something I really need. Mitch told me that he would like to go watch Monday night footall tommorow. Fine with me go have fun.

Oh I forgot to tell you about the NEW trailer, Mitch was taking it on it's madien voage to Home depot to get wood to build the sides. Wouldnt you know it, he get rear ended while sitting at a stop light! Then the woman is all I didnt hit you hard enough to bend it...bla bla bla. I dont know what the deal is but at least this one wasnt his fault.

Random observations and praises of Logan.

Logan is currently sitting at his train table playing. Then says "Mac it's time to wake up your friends are here" and pulls mac the truck out of a drawer. He then continues on to have a converstation between the variors trucks and cars complete with different voices for each vehicle.

The Sally car from the movie cars, I once said it was my favorate so now when ever he finds Sally she is brought to me along with "Mommy heres your car"

He put his sneakers on all by himself this morning!! When it comes to dressing Logan is NOT the indepedant "I'll do it myself" child he is the "I can't you have to help me" child. I'm super proud he did it alone only with some encouragment and then tons and tons of praise.

I've got a do list a mile long I want to get done today.
Shopping
-Home depot, return some things, get door moulding and door paint.
-Costco, return some things, get my list of things.
-Make about half a dozen calls and appoiments
-Clean the house
-List a ton of stuff on ebay, they have no listing fees this month!
and theres a bunch more little things too.

Door update and update and update

You would think that after 35 years I would know better. Yesterday the plans were made to install the new door today. Dad left me with prep instrcutions, remove the moulding, clear out the vestibule, charge the recip saw. I added to this list get out the saw horese, shop vac, extention cords tool box and then clean up the mess after removing the moulding. I also with Logan in tow went to home depot this morning picked up the new hardware for the door, some insolation and caulk. Now back to the plan, and I shall quote "We'll be there early" well at 10 am Mom called to say Dad was still getting ready. I'll give him this he will have every tool we could possiibly need but come on, at this rate he won't be here till noon. I'll be spent by then and its going to be hot by then. I mean this morning it was cold really perfect weather for working.

Well Dad showed up right after I finished this. As expected unforseen things occured. After we got the orginal door out we determined the threshold was built up way to high and it's on a wierd angle we decided to remove it. No big deal you think well the threshold was made from brick. Thankfully Mitch has happened to borrow the hammer drill. It took a while to remove the brick and then the 3 inches of morter. We got the door temporarly installed and dad went home for the night to cut some wood for the new threshold.

Day 2, A very very long day. I'll quote my Mom... "The job will be done right and perfect, but the not anytime soon" ...LOL she is so right. Dad does everything perfect his construction jobs are of furniture quaility. We must have installed and uninstalled the door 15 times, but the gap is perfectly spaced all around there is a perfect seal the door is plum.

Day 3, no I'm NOT kidding, Dad decided last night that he needs to cut another solid shim to go behid the strike plate to offer better security, and we need an additional peice to go under the threshold. I'm hoping he will just cut these and send them home to me. I also need to get some moulding BUT it turns out that the size I need is smaller then I orginally thought which is great since I before there was 5 and 4 inch moulding. Let me tell you that there is very little to NO selection in those sizes.
