Lobster fest!!

Lobster, steak and fire- does it get any better?

In memory/honor of our annual trip to Maine (that got canceled thanks to prego friends) we decided to eat like we were in Maine.

Yup, here are the prego friends!! And that's me with one huge piece of lobster meat, harvested perfectly with nothing but a meat pounder and scissors from Ikea. We ate so much and topped it all off with smores, a truly amazing way to spend an evening!

Potty duty...

What an exciting week it has been already. Little P is quickly learning, and I am running around behind him trying to keep up, at least a little bit.

Cleaning has been quite a challenge for a while, he loves to pull things out but I think he may have a tiny bit of his dad's perfectionism (this is good and bad). I mean as a grown up, being married to a perfectionist gets me a clean car, help with the laundry and everything tended to outside. Sometimes too well, all this takes time that could be spent with me you know ;) But as a baby it means random things put in random places. He LOVES to carry things around, and then put them away, and then secretly laughs at me while I search for the hidden item like a crazy lady. UGH...that is the frustrating part. Now to add to this, my little "angel" has learned to flush the commode.

BAD NEWS! Because the commode is one of his favorite places to put things away. Now it can be gone forever, permanently. Add this to his other favorite place, the trash can. Awesome.

Another new lesson learned, how to open the screen to get to the backyard. And just today he mastered walking over the screen door threshold. It's a little bit of a step down, but that doesn't stop him anymore. And he can open the door to the garage. I don't know how I'm going to keep him inside anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining. I don't ever want to complain because I have a smart, curious little guy. It's just more of a blessing and keeps me on my toes :)

Oh yeah, my boys matched on Sunday, super cute!!

Busy Day

Not much to blog about, actually I'm just typing this while I'm getting ready for Home Meeting (a mid-week church meeting).
What I can say is it's stinkin' hot here. I resisted turning on the air condition until dinner time, when I couldn't cool down and it was 87 degrees inside:)
But I did have a very busy day. To start off, it is Tim's 30th birthday and he requested french toast. That woulda been so easy except we had not bread or eggs...so I had to run to the grocery store first thing in the am. By the time I got the breakfast mess cleaned up and layed the baby down I figured I would make Tim some mint chocolate, chocolate cookies.
Then it was time to make lunch. Tim had his classmates over so I made them grilled chicken, barbecue...yum!
Unfortunately, I forgot about the babies doctors appointment, so I was few minutes late. And by the time I got home it was almost dinner time. Whipped up some baked zitti and birthday cupcakes with cooked icing. His favorite :)
So that's about it..NOT exciting but busy none-the-less.
