Zoo Buddies

We had a beautiful fall morning this week, on my day off, and took advantage by going to the zoo with some sweet friends of ours.

The kids and the moms had a great time!

Wordless Wednesday

Our Family – In Chalk

One night we were out enjoying the evening and pulled out the sidewalk chalk.  Corbin and I decided to create our family.  Here is our masterpiece. (In case there needs to be clarification I wrote our names and Corbin drew our bodies.)

Then Corbin created a little house that we all could live in.

Love spending time outside drawing with chalk and creating some “realistic art” with Corbin:)

Today’s Best

Best question of the day thus far:

Corbin:  “Mom, were you talking to me or to yourself?”

Chris’s laughter could not be contained.

I believe this indicates that I talk too much to myself!

Best activity of the day:

Corbin asked for a rag so he could wipe the tables and the floor.  And that kid went to work and did a fabulous job.

Best moment of the day:

A huge hug from my little guy and an “I love you SO much, Mommy.”

Park Pictures

Friday was a beautiful day so we headed to the park for the afternoon.

**Corbin decided that he was going to wait to do the monkey bars until he gets older**

First Ice Cream Trip

If you know my child at all you know he doesn’t have a sweet tooth.  But really I need to amend that statement and say he DIDN’T have one.  In the past several months this child has begun to explore and enjoy the sweeter things in life.

So because of this new found enjoyment for all things sweet Chris and I decided to take a trip to a local ice cream place with Corbin. 

This was our first outing to buy ice cream with Corbin.  And I know for some having your first experience at 3.5 years old is shocking, but this child really wanted nothing to do with anything sweet before this time.

Corbin got to pick his flavors (vanilla and strawberry) and also pull the handle to see the ice cream come out.

He loved his ice cream (so did Daddy;)!

However, along with the highs comes the lows…the first brain freeze…

But even the lasting effects of a slight brain freeze didn’t stop him from digging in for more…

Ice cream on a hot day with mom and dad…it’s a good thing:)

Corbin Tidbits from Preschool Pick-Up

"When I get older will you still be my Mommy and Daddy?”  Yup, you’re stuck with us...wait for it…FOREVER:)

“Today was Gracie’s birthday.  We got a stamp with Minnie Mouse on it.  How come this mouse has a name?”  Oh no, the whole undiscovered world of Disney is going to be opening to him through school!

“I got this sticker at the checkout line.  Some girl checked me out and gave it to me.”  Do you know this girl’s name and is this checkout line one of your preschool centers?  I’m so confused.

“We had round things for breakfast.  They were good.”  Umm, does that mean pancakes?

“Watch out Mommy!  Don’t step there that’s where LoLo peed!”  Oh crap, I do see a dark spot.  Oh well, what’s a little LoLo pee on my shoe;)
