Contrary!

Well, all I can say is that I am EXHAUSTED! Ryan has been so contrary the last few days, and he's wearing me out! Yesterday, we were reading "Goodnight Moon," and even though he says moon, and knows what it is, he kept calling it a "ball" with a little smirk on his face. He thought it was VERY funny. Tonight, he did the same thing with the cups in the bath. I had to chase him down in order to get his jammies on, pin his arms down to brush his teeth and pry him out of the rocking chair. I can only hope this is a phase, but I have a feeling that the terrible two's may be starting early??

I did get this picture while he was running around trying to avoid getting jammies on. He is a stinker, but he sure is cute!

Ladies Man??

I picked Ryan up from Mindi's on Tuesday and he wanted me to kiss a "bum" (bump) So, I kissed him, and then he pinches his own cheek, and says, "owie!" and wants Mindi to kiss it. Then, he pinches his cheek again and wants the two other little girls Madison and Katelyn to kiss it! After kisses from all the ladies in the room, Ryan was content to go home! What am I in for????

The Pumpkin Patch!

On Saturday morning, we headed to EZ Orchards to visit the pumpkin patch. EZ Orchards is already one of Ryan's favorite spots. We drive past every day on the way to and from daycare, and he points and says, "eess." We had a great time!

He loved looking at the chickens!



We rode the tractors for a LONG time!

Yep, that's us!

Ryan with Daddy and his pumpkin! He absolutely refused to pose with it by himself or with mommy! He is struggling to get out, but the picture makes it look like he is smiling!

Look what is finally in our front yard!!

And another night...

Make that three nights of no sleep! We are praying that the cough is better tonight. Jamie and I feel like we have a newborn again, and we are exhausted! Ryan is too, he took a four hour nap this afternoon! The dr gave us a prescription to fill if he doesn't get better in a day or so--this cold has lingered so long!

And so it goes...

Just when you think things are going to slow down, they get crazy again! We are anxiously waiting for our grass seed to grow--we do have some sprouts now! We are dealing with a fruit fly epidemic in our kitchen! When I was sick, our neighbor brought us a huge bag of tomatoes. I didn't realize it, and they attracted a TON of fruit flies! I googled, and read that if you leave a glass of wine out, it will attract them, and kill them when they go in! So, we actually did have a bottle of wine--I think it has been in our pantry for at least 2 years (can you tell we aren't wine drinkers?) It really works, although I just want to get rid of the existing flies, not attract new ones!
Ryan has a nasty cough, but it only bothers him when he is laying down. We are headed to the doctor in a few hours, just to make sure things are okay! No one in our house has gotten a full night of sleep for the last 2 days!

A trip to Gilbert House

We took Ryan to Gilbert House for the first time this weekend. He had a blast and I know we'll be making more trips there in the future! The only snag was when Jamie locked the keys in the car (not me this time!) but thankfully, Jeff was able to come get him! We also hit Starbucks and I tried the salted caramel hot chocolate--YUM!! (Sounds weird, but you really should try it!)

Great Night!

We had our first Working Moms' Network meeting tonight! We had a great speaker, Dr. Julie Gilbert, who talked to us about time management and we had a great group of ladies there! We are hoping to have lots more great ladies there next month, but it was a good kickoff! I am SO wiped out, it is not even funny! I had to rush home and get my assignment posted for the week--I was 17 minutes late. Hopefully, it won't count against me too much, but you all know that turning things in late is a big issue for me, and I am NEVER late with assignments! I usually try to get them in early, but with being sick, that was not in the cards!
I am off to bed--I missed the debate, Grey's Anatomy (like those are the same quality of program!), but I just need to SLEEP!
