Saturday mornin'

Today Cody worked the am, and Remy and I enjoyed a Saturday morning playing together.

He started his day by eating his favorite breakfast, a Kashi Cereal Bar, or "Bar" as he calls it.

Time to get out a toy...or 20!

One of my favorite morning rituals is when I put Remy up on the bathroom counter. He brushes his teeth and I wet down the fuzzy bedhead mullet that he wakes up with.

Show me your teeth!

Time to get dressed and play in his room.

Making a few important phone calls.

Accessorizing his outfit.

This is what his room looked like when we got done playing. Holy mess!

Much better.

I had the great idea to blow some bubbles. It's wet and cold outside, so I blew some in the house. Are you supposed to do that? Well, it turned out that Remy wanted to hold the bubbles himself and this...

Turned into this...

Luckily his fits don't last very long right now and happened in about a matter of 30 seconds.

He's such a stinker!

TV Drama

So, about 2 weeks ago our television quit working. So, we decided to buy a new one. We bought this beautiful plasma Samsung tv. It was nice.


Yep, WAS nice.


Saturday night, my son threw a golf ball at it and broke it.


(Insert gasp and then long pause of silence here)


Two weeks we had it. Two weeks. Remy. Threw. A. Golf. Ball. At. It.

Obviously, Cody and I were furious. Not really at Remy because he's 20 months old. Yes, he shouldn't have thrown the golf ball, but he also shouldn't pick his nose or lick the dog's face. All No No's. He has no concept that he broke a Very Expensive TV.

The thing is, as much as it sucks, we really can't stay mad. I mean, it's a TV...a materialistic item. We are blessed with a wonderful family, a healthy son, jobs, food, clothing, Jesus. Jesus trumps a TV.

This little guy...



He did it.

I am sure Remy will do things in his life that will make me sad. There will be consequences to his actions, and sometimes I'll be the one who has to pay for them (literally!). But, through it all, I hope he knows that HE is 1 TRILLION times more important than a TV and HE IS LOVED.



Now, ask me how I feel later this week when I have to miss American Idol.

Blizzard

February 1st and 2nd, we had a "Blizzard". My work was even closed for 2 days, which was AWWWWESOME!!


Here's Cody throwing a snowball at me. He's so rude.

Here is Remy, just being cute.
Here's my attempt to take a cute picture in the snow, but really I just look awkward.

Remy was too young to appreciate just how perfect this snow was. I really wanted to build a big snowman, but he wasn't game.

I couldn't get him out of the garage.

And, here's another awesome picture of me.

And one more of the cuteness, for good measure.

Who put that there?

Hmmm...who would put a (Unused!) Tampon in the Kitchen?



Well, what's that Kitchen Clip doing in my bathroom? (Notice my cute Target clearance boots. Ignore my very dirty floor)




There's our Fartomatic. Yes, we own a Fartomatic...don't you?




Why is there a BBQ basting brush in Remy's toy box? Weird.



Yesterday I found Remy's sippy cup in the trashcan. Who could have done that?
