Monday Stuff

Just a little catch up post today.  I got a bit behind on regular, run of the mill stuff when I was blogging about Cathy's visit.

 

  

#1.

The day that Cathy left we took Spencer to a special Kindergarten night at his new school.  We got to meet all of the teachers and do fun activities in each room.  I think it was good for him to see the campus and know a little bit more about what to expect when he starts in July. 

 

They did not, however, give the parents any pointers about how to deal with sending your itty bitty baby off to elementary school.

 

The school mascot is the Coyote.

Last week we finally broke into Spencer's PB cup Easter egg.  There were 880 calories in the whole thing.

 

He enjoyed about 650 of those calories and then shared the rest.

#3.

Spencer had a Sonic slush that he hadn't finished waiting for later in the refrigerator.  I was getting stuff out for dinner one night and Elliott grabbed the cup and started pounding it.

 

He enjoyed it very much.

Elliott and I took Spencer to school on Friday. We came home and I made lunch for the two of us.  This is our usual schedule.  I put him in the high chair with his food and was getting my lunch ready when I glanced over and saw this: 

 

Then the microwave beeped.

 

Then this once it stopped:

This is the first time, EVER, that one of my kids has fallen asleep in the high chair.  It's laughable to think about Spencer ever having done this.  I was pretty surprised about Elliott too.  I actually wasn't sure what to do.  When it became obvious that he was really, truly asleep I picked him up, put him in bed and then ate my lunch.  He slept right up until the minute we had to leave to get Spencer.  It was totally weird.

I hosted a baby shower for Megan on Saturday. 

 

The theme was rain and flowers and umbrellas.

 

Ginger just made herself right at home with the ladies. 

Megan had a shower for me when I had Spencer, then I had one for her when she had Hadley, then she had one for me when I had Elliott.  Little baby girl Hollis is due next month. 

 

I got a picture of Megan and her mom, but somehow we didn't get one of the two of us.  We even talked about how we needed to take one!

#6.

Grandma and Papa got Spencer a bumper boat for the pool.  It has a motor and everything.

 

He is the captain of the high seas.

#7.

We went to a surprise party for Joni's birthday last night.  We got a baby-sitter and everything.  It was so much fun. 

#8.

Spencer is going to Florida with my parents on Friday.  The packing has begun.
