Random Shots

Just some random shots from our weekend! We spent some time at Granddaddy's park after dinner Friday evening, partied it up with Luke on Saturday and spent this rainy Sunday at church and relaxing! It was a great weekend. 

Just cheesing it up before leaving for school on Friday. 

Walking back to Granddaddy's from the park. Ever since Disney when we told Christopher to hold Daddy's ears- this is how he rides. 

Waiting for mommy so that we could swing at the same time. We are trying to teach Christopher to pump his legs so that he can swing himself. 

We went out to dinner Saturday night and left Christopher home with Granddaddy. This is how he fell asleep while we were gone- no bath, no dinner, no jammies- but asleep nonetheless. That was until we got home at midnight and Christopher decided to be wide awake wanting his soup and a bath.... for almost 3 hours. 

Playing with the top with Granddaddy.

Christopher fell asleep on the way home from church today and slept on my bed for over 3 hours. (Makes up for the missing sleep from the night before!) Finally, at 4:15 we decided to wake him up. This could explain why he has been in bed for 30 minutes now and I can still see his little eyes blinking.

Christopher went to his friend Luke's birthday on Saturday and carried around both of his Buzz toys most of the time. I found this little guy for him at Target and honestly, I have never heard him say thank you so many times. To be exact- "Mommy, hug." He comes over to hug me and says "Tang ting, Mommy. Tang ting. Hug, Mommy, tang ting." He can't really say thank you. It's kinda awkward when he gets something from someone, like the cookie lady at Publix and he says "tang ting" and I have to explain that it's thank you. I am sure Matt and I don't help it any that we tend to say it to him in conversation because it sounds so cute.

So we started the Citrus Lane boxes back in January and they are so hit and miss. I was not that impressed with this month's box. Christopher got this roller, which maybe will be fun in the sand and the Parthenon building for a sandcastle toy. Random right? He did get a painting book which looks like it might be fun. 

Anyway! Last week of school!!!!! So very exciting!
Have a great week!
Be kind.

What Are You Doing?

Christopher- What are you doing, mommy?
Mommy- Nothing much. Just holding you.
Christopher (1 second later)- What are you doing, mommy?
Mommy- Just answering the same question you asked me.
Christopher (1 second later)- What are you doing, mommy?
Mommy- Wondering how many times you are going to ask me this question.
Christopher (1 second later)- What are you doing, mommy?
Mommy- Thinking about how many different ways I can answer you.

And it goes on and on. At one point Matt informed me that I should just stop answering, but then he might stop asking me questions, so I continue to answer.

We have been super busy here- wrapping up the school year for me and moving Granddaddy down here! Nana is still in Virginia Beach, but dad moved down here about a week ago. He is currently living with us while his house is getting painted and until his furniture arrives next week. Christopher has been loving having him around and so have I! It is so nice to have someone at home when we get home from school. Normally it's just me and Christopher wandering around aimlessly waiting on Matt, but now we have someone else to play with!

Here are the last couple of weeks in pictures! (I have noticed that I have really been slacking on the picture taking lately. Thankfully it's almost summer and I think last summer I blogged like every other day with the random things Christopher and I were doing, so I will get better at the pictures again soon!)

Christopher likes to clean other people's faces before he cleans his own... and sometimes after he does his own as well. 

I had posted a final picture of the boys on Facebook but here a couple of my favorite that didn't make the Facebook cut. 



Granddaddy and Christopher have been loving playing in the tunnel. 

We spent some of Mother's Day out back enjoying the sunshine. We also went over to Granddaddy's neighborhood and played at the park there. 

Just trying to even out the tan. One of my friends told me last year- "Angie, lose the SPF shirts on him. He's Italian! Let him get some sun." I did notice that Christopher's hands were quite tan the other day. I told him "You're welcome. You'll thank me one day." 

Christopher seems to love himself a good belt... or necklace.. or even bracelets. 

Christopher made me a visor at the church nursery on Sunday. 

We took Granddaddy to our Friday night dinner spot- Guston's. Christopher devours their grilled cheese. 

We went to the lake one day with our friends. Christopher had a blast and Mommy and Daddy had a blast because we didn't have to chase him around like at the pool! Relaxation.

Our neighbors were moving- I jokingly said I will give you $5 for the clubhouse- and they accepted! Christopher was so excited. Matt was washing his car so Christopher decided his house needed to be washed too!

Look at all those suds...

Helping daddy. Not really, but it is a super cute picture! 

(I couldn't seem to keep my mouth shut long enough to get a decent picture.)
Tiff and I did the Susan G Komen 5k Mother's Day weekend. What a great cause and what a great weekend to do it! :) Christopher won't get to meet his Grandma Alice because of breast cancer, so when Tiffany asked me to do it, I certainly couldn't say no! Hopefully they raised lots of money and we will get to do it again next year! 

I am certain Mom is beyond jealous of all the time Dad is spending with Christopher. She is coming next week for a few days... and Matt heads to the Dominican Republic. So jealous... but you can't exactly take off the last 4 days of school.... 

Have a great end to your week!
Be kind.
