A Little Laugh For Your Friday

He's a boy.....what else can I say?

Banished To The Rug

For some reason when I go into the kitchen to cook the little man and the dog will not leave me alone. Our kitchen is small enough with just me in it and I don't need extra bodies in there to trip over, so they have both been banished to sit on the rug if they want to be in there. Am I the meanest or what?

Look at that sad face.

I Have Been Reminded That Nothing Is Austen-Proof

I had quite the scare yesterday when, after coming in from getting the dog back in the house, Austen informed me that he drank the Advil water and it made him grow big. I had no idea what he was talking about so I just said "really" and kept walking. That's when I noticed that the bottle of children's Advil that was on the counter from the night before was opened and empty. He somehow opened the "childproof" bottle (that is hard for me to open) and drank the entire thing. I immediately called poison control where they assured me that it is nearly impossible to overdose on ibuprofen and definitely not from drinking a 4 oz bottle. I was reassured, but still a little worried, so I called my dad and he was able to calm me down. Brian even offered to come home from golf, which is monumental.

Luckily it was Advil and not Tylenol, but lesson learned nonetheless. Today all of our medications are locked away in a safe that would be very difficult for Austen to get into......I'm not going to say impossible because, well you never know with him, but difficult for sure.

Demolition Time

Remember that cute snowman my boys built? Well Austen decided to take out all his aggression on it.

And sadly it is no more.

Happy Birthday Old Man!

Today is my Dad's 60th birthday, so happy birthday Dad!

Thank you for being so amazing in every way.....you are my hero!

Winter Came A Little Late This Year

We finally had a big snowfall. It was really the first major snow we've had all year. I think I was more excited about it than Austen. I bundled us all up and took Austen sledding for his first time. It was just him and I, so I couldn't take any pictures, but it was super fun! We made snow angels, sledded down a hill, and threw snow balls down a drain. Then we came home and made hot chocolate.

Austen and Daddy took advantage of all the snow and made the coolest snowman (also a first for Austen).

Brian got really creative and used spray paint for all the trimmings.

Family Day Children's Museum

We had an awesome family day last Saturday. We took Austen to one of his favorite places in the whole world.....the Children's Museum.

It was so much fun! Grandma Linda joined us and Austen loved dragging her everywhere and bossing her around.

The grocery store part is hands down his favorite.

He was also loving collecting the eggs from the chickens.
