The Chase

Owen has been at Art Camp the past 2 mornings at his preschool. Today is his last day. He has really enjoyed himself. Each morning he has spent some of the time painting on 1 canvas. Today he will bring home the finished piece. He has been talking about it a lot. I am excited to see it. He LOVES bringing a bag lunch to eat with his friends. It's been quiet around here.
Yesterday, he mentioned the girls were chasing him and another boy around on the playground. I immediately thought, Oh no what did he do to deserve being chased. What I didn't realize; the chasing on the playground has started. I didn't think much of it until this morning. I mentioned to Owen that it rained so much last night they might not play outside. His response, "I hope we do, so the girls will chase me."
Really, already? Keep running, Owen. Don't let them catch you.

Nuts about Design

Here's my latest blog header. For a family of 5. They have 3 boys. A 3 yr old and 8 month old twins. The mom suggested this phrase. I can only imagine :)

Business Lunch

Sometimes when EJ has business luncheons at exciting restaurants, like Maggianos, I get jealous. I am sure the conversation at my lunch table is way more entertaining than what the sales persons has to say, but the food not as yummy. Well, today is my turn. I am being treated to lunch by a committee from church. A real restaurant with 5 awesome ladies and no children. FUN! Oh and we'll talk business of course :)

Potty Talk

I know I should not get my hopes up. I am only writing this for future reference.
Mason peed in his little potty. This is actually his second successful/lucky attempt. I can't believe it. EJ, Owen and I were all there and he got BIG cheers, high 5's and even a little jig from mommy.
The "little" potty has been in their bathroom for a couple of weeks, just to get him interested. He hasn't paid it much attention. At bedtime tonight he wanted to sit on it as a means of procrastination (it starts this early???). Sure enough he went. What are the odds?

Released

I am a free woman. Released until July 20 from my post operative appointments ( i have been going every 2 weeks) and after this week I am done with my 2x a week Physical Therapy. I don't know who is more relieved, EJ or myself. I might kind of miss two mornings with a neck massage and no breakfast duty. Plus EJ will have to get to work on time.

So, what will I do to celebrate? This sounds totally crazy, but I am going to have Taco Salad for dinner. A salad is probably the last thing you imagined I'd say. It's been over 8 weeks without lettuce or a salad. I am still not sure I can do it, but I will attempt it (try eating lettuce with just your front teeth and you'll understand what I mean- it doesn't break down). I don't know if it is the salad I miss or the salad dressing :) A big juicy steak is still out of the picture. Unless of course I get the really expensive kind that you can cut with a butter knife.
