For the Birds

Caleb's Nanna has been really into birds. She has several houses and feeders etc. Caleb loves to help her feeding and watering the birds. He also loves to check on her blue birds. She has a family that nest in one of her houses. So this week we bought a bunch of supplies and feeder, bird seed, and a humming bird feeder. So today we went about setting up the feeders and we made the peanut butter bird seed pine cones. He had a blast! I have a picture of one of the pine cones we did. (The squirrels had eaten half of the other by the time I went outside to clean up.)

My Comedian





Caleb took my glasses off the table and said Look I'm momma. You big boy.


Then I asked him if I could take a picture. Here is a video clip of what he kept on saying while I took his picture.

My little comedian. He is always trying to find a way to make me laugh.

Knit Wits

Knit wits what a clever name for a knitting group isn't it. Just a bit of background. My best friend Jennifer since college started this group about a year or so ago, but I was a working full time and could not add another thing to my plate, especially learning another skill.
So last month Jennifer invited me to tea and knitting. It seems that I have some sort of muscle memory because I haven't knitted since elementary school. I did try crocheting when I was in high school. But since last month I knitted my friend a scarf, my son a scarf and I am almost finished with a scarf for myself.

Bargain Shopper

This morning I went to two consignment sales. All 4 kids and Born again Blessings. Today was their 1/2 half off. What a bargain. Here is a good website to find consigmnet sales http://www.thebargainwatcher.com. And Daddy and Caleb had a pancake morning. Lots of sticky fun. After I got back we went to Big Peach Running company to buy Patrick some jogging shoes. His starting a routine that has been recommended by several friends. Who knows he might even enter a 5k.

Mornings, Build A Bear, and Birthdays

I love mornings like this morning. Caleb has woken up and wanders in the bedroom and he has all his " loveys". He has not chosen one blanket or stuffed animal to be his lovey. He has a blanket, he has a lamb, and he has two dogs. All that with his sippy cup come wandering in the bedroom wanting to get into bed. Often one lovey gets dropped or left behind and mommy is asked to retrieve said lovey. And then the cuddling that often turns into the plopping and tickling can start.
But I think this may change after today.. maybe.
We went to Build A Bear today with our MOPS play group from Mt. Bethal. He picked out a dog and named him Henry. Henry has not left his side. (except to eat at the food court with everyone else). Maybe later I'll get a photo put up. Its on my phone which is not syncing quite right.
Today is Patrick's Birthday. We went to the grocery store to get Patrick's cake. And yes Henry also went. Henry help Caleb drive the car shopping cart, and eat the cookie the baker gave Caleb.

The Coffee Park

I am new blogger. (We do have a family website, but my husband has really been the one maintaining it.) The moms in my MOPS group have helped me get started in this endeavor.
Since our table missed the MOPS meeting (it was our table time to help with childcare) we met at The Coffee Park. The Coffee Park is a great place! For $5 you can put your child in a play room. Caleb calls the coffee park the tree. (The entrance to the play room looks like a big tree) The Coffee Park has free Wi-Fi and great food and coffee. They have a separate room for groups. Caleb had great fun playing in the tree today and did not want to leave.
Thanks Nikki and Nicole for helping us today! You girls are great! Here are some links. Our website and Nikki and Nicole's blogs.
