I Laugh...

I laugh...

When Hulk tells stories...

When I talk to my best friend Darbis...

When my sister and I do things with Hulk that we did as kids...

When I see people fall down...

Everytime I watch an episode of Friends...

At myself...

At stupid jokes...

Often...

Not enough...

At least everyday...

What makes you laugh?

He Turned Three!

While I was on my 50 day leave from blogging the Hulk man turned 3! I can't believe I'm now the mother of a three year old. 3 seems old to me somehow. It's an odd age really. He isn't a baby but he isn't a big boy either. Though he does love to say "I'm a big man". But 3 is where we are now and it's an all right place to be.

He of course got some wonderful gifts and had a great time with our friends/family for his birthday. On his actually birthday our neighbors decorated the house with balloons and signs for his special day. They are so good to us!

While it was a wonderful celebration I still can't help but wonder where in the world my baby went????

50 Days

For goodness sake it has been 50 days since I've posted! That's crazy. I have so much to tell you. Well I have 50 things to tell you actually. 50 things that I should have probably posted about but well I haven't.

1. Hulk turned 3!


2. Hulk had a very awesome birthday!


3. He got some fun toys and clothes and a very cool bike from Papa and Granny.


4. Hulk still can't peddle his bike but thinks it is very fun to have me and the neighbor kids push him around on his cool bike.


5. I went to a conference in Huntsville Alabama for 5 days and left the man with my good friend Beth and her family.


6. I learned a lot but got very homesick.


7. 5 days is a long time to be away from your sidekick kidlet.


8. He had a fabulous time though.


9. While in Huntsville I went to the space and rocket museum.


10. It was pretty cool and I took some pictures of it.


11. I also took pictures of Hulk's b-day party.


12. I still haven't even downloaded the pictures.


13. I'm overwhelmed with things to do and not enough time.


14. The weather got nice and we spend all of the evening outside now.


15. This is great for burning off all the energy Hulk has.


16. This does not allow me to get things done inside.


17. The house looks a bit like a pit.


18. I'm praying for rain this weekend so I can actually stay indoors and get the house cleaned up.


19. I still haven't completely unpacked from going to Huntsville.


20. I have been home from Huntsville for a week!


21. I've been busy taking pictures for other people.


22. I've edited those pics just not my own.


23. I have Easter mini sessions this weekend.


24. Hulk wants a bunny desperately or a dog.


25. He reminds me often that we need a dog.


26. His teachers and therapist recommend a dog.


27. I'm not sure that I have the energy to keep up with a dog.


28. But I wouldn't mind having a dog either...


29. I made a really cool paint sample mosaic for my wall.


30. I took step by step pictures to share on the blog.


31. Yeah I haven't gotten those edited yet either.


32. I planted grass seed tonight in what used to be a flower bed.


33. I'm trying to simplify and turning a couple flower beds into grassy areas seemed like a good plan.


34. The dang grass better grow.


35. My house flooded again. It's the great flood of 2011!


36. My hot water heater broke and dumped gallons of hot water into the house while I was at work.


37. The same flood restoration crew that worked my flood of 2010 showed up to save the day this year.


38. I'm gonna get new carpet this time around.


39. I am also requesting a new medication for anxiety. :-)


40. You may think I'm joking but I'm not. I seriously want some happy pill that would remove all the anxiety provoking events from my life.


41. Hulk dumped an entire bottle of bath fizz tablets into the toilet. You are only supposed to put 2 in a bath tub. He put 98 in the toilet. That was a freaky fizzing colorful volcanic explosion.


42. Hulk can no longer have bath fizz tablets.


43. Hulk hates his bedroom.


44. I finally got it all decorated and adorable and he hates it.


45. He will sleep anywhere but in his room.


46. He slept in a diapers.com box in the living room one night.


47. The next he slept in the hallway.


48. Tonight he is sleeping on my bedroom floor. I don't understand it!


49. I am promising myself again that I won't go this long without blogging.


50. Don't hold your breath though. I seem to not be a very good blogger anymore....

Smiles

Why is this adorable boy smiling... Because the sun is shining of course! Well since it's night it isn't shining now but earlier it was and he was all smiles! We got to play outside without jackets this evening! Last week we had a foot of snow and today we played outside and enjoyed the sunshine. Go figure. Good old Kansas.

Almost all the snow is gone! Hopefully we are done with snow for the year. I'm really over it! Hulk and I are much happier when we can be outside without being cold. In fact as I was putting Hulk to bed tonight and saying prayers he thanked God for sunshine and recess!

Some other wise words from Hulk...

"Mama do not drink this water in the bath tub. I fink there is pee in it!"

"Here hold this baby doll. No with two hands mama. Pay attention."

"I fink you should hug on me now."

"Mama I show you how to do it. Wisten to me, are you wistening?

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

We sure hope your day is full of love and laughter!!!

Dinosaur Lover

Since the kidlet thought his dinosaurs needed to have their pictures taken I thought he might let me take a few pictures of him with them. He wasn't too excited about that. But he is always excited about those dinosaurs! I think you could take everything away from that child and as long as he had his dinosaurs he would be content. They really are his most prized possession! Maybe he will grow up to be a scientist. Mama's can dream right!

 

 

 

 

My Little Photographer

Hulk got ahold of my camera the other day. When I caught him laying on the floor with it I asked him what in the heck he was doing. He said his dinosaurs were smiling. He got in trouble but after he went to bed I took a look and he was actually taking pictures. In fact he got some really good pictures of his dinosaurs. I cropped one of the pictures below but other wise they are right out of the camera with no edits.
