So I just realized that I had not blogged this week. I am coming to the close of my last semester of college so things are a little hectic at the moment. Also, it seems as if every weekend we have something going on. This past weekend was the first in a long time that we pretty much stayed home and worked at the house. Ross worked really hard to fix our landscaping. It looks gorgeous. I never realized how expensive plants, dirt, and mulch were until Ross started explaining it to me. YIKES!!!
Friday evening, Reed and I had a night to ourselves while Dad went to hang out with some friends. We went to my Mom’s so that Reed could spend some time with his grandparents. Of course, every time we go there my Mom has something new for him. This time it was crawfish swim trunks and a kiddie pool. As you can see in the video, he was really excited about it.
In between bites of his pretzel sticks he stopped long enough to take a picture with me. We don’t have many pictures of us together.
Saturday Ross took Reed to Little Gym so that I could go and get my hair cut. Reed got moved up from the birds class to the beast class. Ross said he had a lot of fun and likes his new teacher. Ever since he started swinging from the latch on his swing he is now not afraid to swing on the bars at the gym. He goes right up to it.
While Dad worked in the front yard, my job when I got home from the salon, was to keep Reed entertained in the back yard. The good thing with him is that it really doesn’t take very much. As usual, we played and played. He really likes the dirt. When he comes in after playing there is dirt on him in places that I didn’t know dirt could get. He is definitely ALL BOY! Reed thinks it’s really funny when I sit at the bottom of his slide and he climbs up it and then slides and runs into me. This was me taking a quick picture of the two of us. It’s not the best picture of me, but one of the sweetest pictures of him. It’s moments like this that make me really happy that I have to document what we do for the blog. Otherwise, life gets too busy and you forget.
Ross asked if I would cook dinner because he was working in the yard so after his nap Reed and I went to Wal-Mart and to Rousse‘s. Reed and I’s Wal-Mart trip consisted of trying on a bike helmet for him, him noticing big bouncy balls, and getting Pull-ups. Pull-ups? I am going to do a blog just on this so hang tight. Here is Reed and the helmet that we tried on. We have not bought him one yet because they all have characters on them and I hate that. Big boy has a huge head and needs at least an age 3 and up.
Here is the big red bouncy ball that I ended up buying. It was only $2.50. I’m such a sucker I know.
So after Wal-Mart, Reed and I went to Rousse’s. I got the great idea that I wanted to try to use the grill on my own. If men can do it then so can women. I bought shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, asparagus, and green onions. I was actually extremely shocked and excited at how well I did. Here is a picture:
Sunday, I got something that I have been wanting to get on video for a while. Reed is really digging Elmo right now and I think that the LMFAO parody, “I’m Elmo and I know it” is hysterical. Reed drops my Ipad towards the end, but here is Reed’s reaction to it:
Well that’s all for now folks. We have lots coming up in the next few weeks with Festival International, my little brother’s birthday, my sister possibly coming in, and graduation/mother’s day weekend. I’ll have lots to update on, so stay tuned.
Peace and Love,
KB and RJK3
