Three Summers Worth of Sunglasses

Logan + Noah = best buddies

Noelle and Maureen came down to visit and brought Noah who is 2 just like Logan. The two boys hit it off and had a great time together. They visited the beach and discovered small sand crabs (they still pinch though). They also went to the park a million times, to another beach, and played in the baby pool on the back deck.

My favorite thing this weekend

Logan and I were sitting in the rocking chair reading books before nap. He pulled out his favorite book of the moment "Curious George and the Rocket," opened it to the page where the rocket blasts off, and yelled "three, four, five, sixen, ROCKETSHIP!"

Things Said Recently at Our House

Tonight:
"I'm going to use the tines and stab it" (Logan referring to his fork and the poor mac and cheese)

"I'm turning the monster spray back to water and then I'll drink it" (Logan)

"We can't brush teeth tonight because you accidentally peed on your toothbrush" (Jillian - did I really say that?)

Other recent favorites:
"I'm not a grow-me-up" (Logan)

"Holy Cow" about just about everything

"Oh man" - after he spilled aforementioned mac and cheese all over the floor

"Let's close the door. The breeze is cold" (Logan)

"Let's go to the water beach and bring a pail, and a shovel, and a rake, and a bucket, and a rake, and the blue shovel, and the black shovel, and the green shovel. Okay?"

Guess what?

Logan's new favorite question.  Which I respond to by saying "What?" and tonight he said "I love you mummy."  

Pretty sure he could do any bad thing he wanted to after that.  :) 

Rocks and bark chips

Somehow we have become the proud owners of most of the playground rocks and bark chips in the neighborhood.  Every time we go to a local park (almost daily because of the lovely weather) or Logan plays outside at school (daily), he comes home with pockets full of bark chips or rocks which he proudly displays on the living room coffee table.  

These have been added to our collections of lizards, frogs, and fish which line the bathtub edges. Two months ago I started giving Logan small plastic animals as a reward for sleeping through the night.  We now have about two million of them floating around the house but most of them are in the bathtub.  I collect them nightly and each morning Logan throws them back in.  So funny.
