Later on...

Mr. 26, continued...

After Amanda and her kids, left Caleb went outside with Grandma and helped her pull some weeds. He also found a new perspective on things... the upside down perspective.

The Cake

Mar. 26, 2009

Amanda Pitts came over this morning around 11 and showed me how to make a Bob the builder cake for Caleb's birthday tomorrow. I made 3 round cakes but the first one broke so the cake was only 2 layers instead of 3. But Caleb and I didn't mind and we didn't let any of it go to waste either.

Popping

Mar. 21, 2009

Grandma taught Caleb how to pop bubble wrap this morning. Caleb did his best to pop it using his thumb but it was tedious work. Grandma then showed Caleb the punching technique which was more fun. But the one that seemed to be the most fun was the jumping up and down technique. Caleb laughed every time the bubble wrap popped beneath his feet. Which technique did Caleb enjoy the most? You guessed it... the first one. Oh, that's not what you guessed? Caleb is like Cory he finds a lot of satisfaction in tedious and meticulous work. For example, Cory loves to pick up a sweater that is covered in little tiny fuzzy balls and pick off every single one of them. After he picks them off he puts them into a neat triangular pile and then throws them away, completely satisfied that he has made that sweater fuzzy ball-less.
Hannah's name could be JOY because this is the face she wears 90% of the time.

Then there were 3

Mar. 11, 2009

This morning Caleb took his bike for a ride around the block and then decided the perfect spot to park his bike was not in the back yard in it's usual spot but next to Papa's bikes. Ahhh. A man and his bike, it's a beautiful thing.

Did I mention?

Mar. 7, 2009

Did I mention Caleb loves trains? Well he does. Whenever we go to Grandma's house he says a quick, "hello," and then heads straight to the train set (which is always set up in the Grandma's music room) before she can respond. He can play with these trains for an hour. And then when it's time to go he asks her if he can bring one or two of the trains home. Grandma always says ,"yes."

Another evening together

Feb. 8, 2009

Alison and I switched slings for about 2 minutes. We quickly realized that the slings were definitely a "custom" fit. Elena and Hannah like to play together. Mostly they try to poke each other in the face and eyes. The boys on the other hand enjoy wrestling and watching movies instead.

Look who's Baking

Feb. 7, 2009

Whenever Sara is in a baking mood she always makes something delicious and pretty. Perfect example are these pre-Valentine's Day cookies. And Yes, they were as good as they look.
