Monday Minute: No pain, no gain

Well, since I missed last week, does that mean I owe you two minutes this week? It does? Perfect!



Before I was able to get the video rolling Drew had been pushing the cooler back and forth across the living room, head down, shoulders hunched, like a football player pushing "sleds" (had to ask Jason for that word) across a field for training practice. He did at least three passes and had me giggling, then I realized I should grab a video of his antics... I'm really not sure what he was trying to accomplish. And at first I did not realize the styrofoam cooler was full of (heavy!) freezer packs and wondered why it seemed so difficult to move.

I just love how PROUD he is of himself at the end. That's my precious boy!

P.S. Please excuse the mess that is my house. I will blame it on this being the day after returning from our out-of-town Thanksgiving... and while that is true, this is really a fairly common state of being in my home.

Wordless Wednesday: A day at the zoo

Wordless Wednesday: Which is the lesser of two evils?

(P.S. No, these are not old pictures. Those are old pumpkin seeds. Put them in the fridge to roast 'em later and forgot.)

Monday Minute: Twirls

Drew randomly started doing twirls. Something he learned at school? We were just sitting around and he started twirling. He also started walking backwards down the hallway (thought he was going to do it for the video but didn't really). How fun! What I love most is Jason getting involved (minus his first comment.... we're working on that!)

Wordless Wednesday: Callaway Gardens

(Stealing Mommy's pre-race fuel)

Monday Minute: Arts and Crafts

Whenever I cut a bundle (bunch? stalk? What do you call it when it's whole?)  of celery, I love the way the base looks. So I thought Drew might have fun making prints. I was actually surprised that he seemed to understand the concept of making prints, I guess he's done that a few times at school.




Just so you can see, this is what the celery base looks like  (sort of, after being somewhat destroyed). Doesn't it look like a pretty rose?

And Drew "enjoying" some celery (no, he didn't like it very much, but he did at least nibble)

Technical Difficulties

I've had a few people tell me that the videos in the last few posts (like, all 5 of them!) have not been working, and sure enough I couldn't get them to work any more either. So I uploaded them to YouTube (instead of directly to my blog) and embedded the links, so if you didn't get to see the previous videos, go back and take a look!
