Dude Night

So my boys had a Dude Night last night. Their first real big one anyway. They went to the pre-season Texans game. When he saw Reliant Stadium he told his Daddy, "Go that way! Circus!". The last time we were there was for the Circus. Last night at the game they had a great time. Rode on the "espalators" and had popcorn. Little guy keeps telling me he went to a basball game and then he says football. Other than a break for a couple of potty stops they both enjoyed the game. Maddox played High five, Low five, You're too slow with a guy sitting by them. From what I have heard that was a big hit all around. I believe Dude Night might be the wave of the future. "Mommy no go Dude Night!"

Football

My little guy is following in his dad's love of football. The other day he was all about football anyway. Who knows if it will last. For his birthday one of his presents was some new clothes for his monkey Friday from Build-A-Bear. We needed to go to the mall so I decided to take him to get Friday's new clothes. He went straight for the football gear. He decided Friday must be a football player. He was so excited to show Daddy later that night Friday's new outfit. When it was time to go to bed he wanted Friday to wear jammies so he took off his football gear. He then went in to the study with the helmet part of the outfit and kept calling for me to put it up. I told him we should put it in his room with the rest of his clothes, but he insisted that we put it in the study. I thought this was odd but followed him in there. Then it dawned on me what he had in mind. On the top of one of our bookshelves is Daddy's Southern Miss helmet. He wanted to put Friday's helmet right next to his Daddy's. So in his words "They could be statues together!"

Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream for Green?

So for the little guy's birthday last week, him, Landon & I went out for ice cream. Maddox got Mint (green) with sprinkles and Landon got Cotton Candy (blue) with sprinkles. I figured they liked the colors and that is how they made their choices. Tonight Daddy brought little guy for ice cream since he was good this weekend and at school today. He once again wanted the green Mint ice cream. This time however, instead of sprinkles he wanted gummy bears. So in his last 3 visits to the ice cream shop he has asked for either pistachio or mint. You think he has a thing for green ice cream. Maybe he would like green eggs and ham. I should try making all of his food green. He does really like green beans and green jello. Maybe I have stumbled on to something. 

Some Funnies from a Bad Day

So yesterday we are in the car headed home (son had a bad day at school) when I ask him what happened. He states matter of factly "It Stress!". So later in the conversation I tell him he needs to listen to his teachers. He tells me "Listening it logical!" I ask him if he knows what listening is and he tells me "I no listen, I big boy!" LOL

Happy Birthday

Just a note to say "Happy Birthday!" to my little guy who is now 3 years old. Boy how time flies. It doesn't seem like that long ago that you came into this world. My little man you came into the world at 9lbs 14 oz and 21.7" long. I am sure that time will continue to fly by and I will be amazed by how fast you have grown. Speaking of grown, you are still such a big boy. I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Ingraham on Thursday to get the official scoop on just how much you have grown. I know that you are still off the charts, as usual. My sweet little guy. You surprise me everyday with the things you do and say. Just wanted to let you know that I love you and that I am enjoying watching you grow up.

Busy Birthday Weekend

What a wild weekend! We celebrated Maddox's birthday this weekend throwing a Scooby Doo party at the house. Before the party Maddox was really tired and had a rough patch. For a little bit I thought he might be a "no show" at his own party, but he came around. He had a great time and enjoyed showing off his Scooby cake that his Aunt Kass made him. 

He made sure that each one of his Scooby's had their own plate and small glass to enjoy the party. 

His cousin Ali helped him blow out the candles and fun was add by all with the Scooby pinata.

     

 Maddox enjoyed having his friends come over to play. Thanks for sharing with us to: Landon, Seth, Sage, Ali, Billy, Michael, Katelyn, Madelyn and all the grown ups. "Thanks!" Maddox spent the rest of the day playing with all of his new stuff. Now I have to find places for everything..gives me a reason to sort through the old stuff. On Sunday we took Maddox to see the Backyardigans Live.

 

He absolutely LOVED it. He even got up and danced a little jig in the aisle. Overall the weekend turned out well for my little 3 year old.

Tropical Storm Edouard

Tropical Storm Edouard had me off work early on Monday to prepare for the storm. Spent the day getting supplies. Was going to pick up Maddox when I got off work around noon and then realized it was nap time at daycare. I decided it would be best for both of us if I waited until nap time was over. He sleeps so much better there for nap time than he does at the house. I think they put something in the food. Spent the rest of the day just getting stuff together.
Tuesday we spent the morning hanging out watching cartoons. Once again while Mommy tried to sleep my little darling played wrestle mania on my head. When he got a little too agressive and bit my arm I decided it was time to venture out of the house. It rained yesterday morning but nothing major the storm was East of us. We went to Daddy's office where we found Landon, Jodie & Bryan. I could tell right off Maddox was in rare form he didn't want to play. It was nap time in a big way. We grabbed some lunch and then I took him home to put him down for a nap. He wouldn't go to sleep. I didn't get him down for a much needed nap until 3pm. I was about to pull my hair out. I was so looking forward to getting things done yesterday but with my little guy nothing got finished. I had my hands full just keeping up with him.
