My son...Mr. Incredible!!

Micah is turning 3 on November 21st! All he talks about is having a birthday party and getting to eat cake and have balloons and presents! It's really funny! He also has this new Mr. Incredibles outfit that he is going to wear for Fall Fest this year...he wants to wear it all the time! When he puts it on, his hands immediately go to his hips and he makes a very serious face like he means business. It's hilarious and he loves this costume so much that he's even slept in it a few times...which is funny because you'd think the padded "muscles" would be uncomfortable to sleep with. He's definitely my "Mr. Incredible"! I'm so proud of him and I love that he wants to be a hero and save the world. I love that he's likes to be rough and tumble and at the same time he loves to be sweet. He has such a good sweet heart and his imagination seems limitless. When he's not pretending to be Mr. Incredible, he likes to put in Chris' HUGE cowboy boots and stomp around the house in them. He calls himself "Bootey"...which is actually "Woody" from Toy Story. He pretends that Chris' basball cap is a cowboy hat and he even has a little metal star that attaches to his shirt like a sheriff's badge. He's awesome! It's one of the things I love most about having boys...they think of some of te craziest things and I feel like I don't understand it at all...of course Chris totally gets it!!!

I really want to garden...

I really want to garden...
Our backyard is a mess of weeds and very little else. I really want to start a garden and put down some grass for the boys. I mostly want to have a lifestyle that is spent more outdoors. With two small boys it can be hard to even get out of the house to go to the grocery store. The park is overwhelming for me to take them to alone, so playing outside is relegated to our backyard! Micah putters around in his little cozy coup car and Gavin likes to play with rocks and get dirty! It's simple, but they seem to have fun anyways! I just wish I could have a place to piddle while they play...like a little vegetable garden beside the shed and garage...and a little spot for them to join me! It's a dream I have and I'm praying we get to do it soon! Oh, well...just some random thoughts this morning.
