Mim's Treat

I can't think of a better way to end the week, but a night free from cooking.

Mason has been under the weather most of the week. I finally took him to the dr. today only for them to tell me its a viral thing. So there isn't anything we can do. I was a little apprehensive about taking him to a restaurantin his sad state, but he perked up as soon as we pulled in the parking lot. Amazing! I am not sure if he actually ate much, but I did get lots of water in him. Restaurant cups are so much cooler even if it is just water :)

Entertaining Mim

Mason's first smore! He didn't really like it. The marshmallow was too sticky. He'd prefer to just it the chocolate. I could do without the marshmallow and Graham cracker too :)

These trucks have been the biggest hit. Thanks Mimi and DadDad.

Of course she must see a Live performance from the Fogarty bros.

Not a great one of Owen, but check out Mason's moves!

Little village

Do you think we have enough Little People? We made a "village" today. I secretly love these little guys, but I think we ought to stop now. A wonderland of china plastics! Talk about tripping over toys.

More presents

Santa, I mean Mim has arrived. EJ's mom came to town yesterday and she came bearing lots of gifts. Gifts not only from her, but from the great-grandparents and Aunt Jill. It took a lot of patience to wait for daddy to get home so we could open all the gifts.


Each of the boys got these head lights. Doesn't Mason's hair look hysterical? Maybe he should play professional tennis someday. At least he has the hair for it.

Who needs to go to the bowling alley now?

Both got these AWESOME trucks with bulldozers in the back.

No post is complete without Owen on a musical instrument.

One of toys that I didn't capture on camera was a big wheeled remote control thing. Its not really a truck or car, but Owen was very excited. This morning out of the blue, with a very calm voice Owen said to me, "that mote control car rocks"

My Helper

Usually if Owen comes with me to the grocery store he helps put away the groceries. I guess Mason has watched enough times b/c today he was my helper. After he emptied everything onto the floor, he actually handed items to me while I put them in the refrigerator.
