"Mom... what does honey taste like?" Aiden got the "Bee Movie" for Easter and has watched it close to 10 times since. I am a little surprised that it took him this long to realize he's never tasted honey. I offered up a honey sandwich ( with the same honey jar we've had since he was born) and he liked it.

week end recap

Dale has started taking the kids to the pool on Friday nights. The kids love it but I don't think I 'll be joining them too soon. The idea of hanging out in a bathing suit in mildly freezing water is not my idea of a good time. Amelia loves to splash in 2 inches of water and run around the pool deck. That does not sound fun at all!

My parents came down Friday night to watch the kids Saturday. Dale had to work and I had a scrapbook dealie. We woke up to snow on Saturday and it continued throughout the day. Perfect day to be inside. Amelia was a little under the weather and spent the day on Grandpa's lap. While he worked on his laptop she was distracted with his blackberry. I guess she would only tolerate my Mom to change her diapers and then it was back to Grandpa. (nice deal Grandpa!) I got 10 layouts and a mini book completed.

Aiden and I had a movie date yesterday. It was fun to spend some alone time with my little guy. I can't believe he's five. We checked out "Horton Hears a Who." It was pretty good. Amelia stayed home with Daddy to work on a speaker wire project. The concrete guy showed up just as we were leaving for the movie. I think our patio will happen soon!

sweet boy

Yesterday I was showing Dale the giant hole in my shirt and how it would be going in the trash can that night. Aiden pipes up from the table " That's too bad Mom that shirt looks great on you!" We haven't really discussed compliments with him but he seems to have figured them out quite well. Some day he will make someone very happy.

Miss Meelers at 14 months

Amelia is turning into such an adorable little girl with the sweetest qualities.
1) she loves any stuffed animal and likes to walk around with them in her arms and stops to give it a big squeeze after a few steps
2) she meows when you ask her what a cats says ( she will also meow for any other animal so I just ask about the cat to keep her looking smart)
3) she starts bopping to any musical beat ( the other day she got a hold of my car keys and hit the panic button when I tracked her down with the keys she was bopping up and down the the beat of the honking horn)
4) if Aiden is crying she will go to him and pat his back or give him a hug
5) she gives me the best hugs ( really tight squeeze followed by a pat on the back {only me} and I love it!)
6) she insists on wearing her butterfly housecoat all day (over her clothes) she likes to be cozy

cute table setting

Through some web wanderings saw this cute table setting that would be super cute for a sleepover theme party. Luckily I have quite a few years before that type of party is popular with my kids!

star of the week

This week Aiden is star of the week in his classroom. They make a poster about themselves and get to be the "line leader." Very exciting stuff. He also brought a game to school that hopefully the other kids enjoy!
