Wild Things

I've been slacking off on blogging, but mostly because we've been busy! I love summer-time because there are so many activities in the community to take Caleb to. We've been to a magic show at the library, jump-house activity at the library, swimming lessons, etc. Our most recent event was Critter-fest at the children's museum, where we got to see all sorts of wildlife. The giant snakes are always Caleb's favorite.


I don't know who looks more wild - Caleb or the tigers . . .

And last but not least, he got to ride an elephant!! He got the front spot and had a huge smile on his face the whole time it was walking. I didn't get a very good picture because I spent most of the time video-taping, but he absolutely loved it!

Curious George

Has anyone ever actually read the original version of Curious George? It is a HORRIBLE book! I checked it out from the library for Caleb, thinking he might enjoy a "classic." First of all, the monkey is happily living in the jungle in Africa, when this man traps him, ties him up in a bag, and takes him on a boat. Then in America, George enjoys smoking a pipe before going to bed! He also gets thrown in jail, escapes from jail, and steals a bunch of balloons. What a great example for kids!

7 Years!

I guess I should mention that today is Nate and I's 7th wedding anniversary. Woohoo! Statistics show that once you've been married 7 years, your chances of divorce drop dramatically. So we are celebrating that fact that all the hard work is over, and from this day on it's smooth sailing . . . right?? Actually I have to say that it's all been pretty smooth sailing and I'm so grateful for my wonderful husband and the love we share! I couldn't live without you baby - Happy Anniversary!
It's hard to feel romantic when feeling like a pregnant whale, but we did manage to have a nice date Friday night. We went and saw a movie and then out to Olive Garden. Sounds a little lame compared to some of our previous anniversaries, but it's been so long since we've been to a movie by ourselves, it was actually REALLY nice!

Trucks trucks trucks!

I finally got Caleb's bedding set in the mail, so his room is officially finished now!! I'm so proud of myself. I think it's super cute. He loves it too. Thanks to Melissa for helping with it!

Blower-arm

Last night Caleb said "Mommy, can you go get the tummy-ears and the hammer-knee?" Now this is a question only a mommy could understand. I said sure and went and got them. The next question was "Mommy, where's the blower-arm?" At this point I couldn't choke back my laughter. Any guesses what he was referring to? (hint: I am a nurse . . .)

Ouch

My hips are killing me. They get better during the day, and then ache so bad at night that I can't sleep. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing is working. I have 3 egg crates stacked up on my bed. Any suggestions? I actually dread going to bed at night! HELP!!
