Where did summer go???

Wearing Dismissal Tags that I made for school and flying Daddy's model airplane!

Hanging out at school!

Mommy's all ready to head back to school and Caydin's ready to hang out with Grandma and Daddy during the day!!!

Where did our summer go???

Loveys and a Train Table

Why might Caydin need to carry his lovey's in his shirt????

....because he needs two hands to work at his new train table!!!!!

(THANKS GRANDPA!)

Pictures taken: Aug 14 (I'm super behind on posting! Urgh - thanks work!)

Like Mother, Like Son

Caydin really liked walking up and down the sidewalk with his shopping cart (like a million times) on Friday (August 13).  All the neighbors thought he was the cutest little guy ever! I totally agree with all of them! :)

Hanging with Jaylin

Caydin loves playing with Jaylin!

Jaylin loves bubbles!

Caydin loves running.

Jaylin loves chasing after Caydin and bringing him back to the yard.

Caydin loves showing Jaylin which way to walk.

Jaylin loves winking!

Back to School Tomorrow...

Dear Caydin,

Thanks for hanging out with me all summer.  I'm sure Daddy thanks you too... since I was so busy chasing after you all day, I didn't have time to bug daddy too much this summer!

Love, Mommy

P.S. Thanks for taking a crazy amount of terrible self pictures with mommy.  You only take the picture because you want to see the photo pop up on the back of the camera screen but I'm hopeful that one of these days, I'll get a good one of the two of us!

P.P.S. Be nice to your daddy and grandma during the weekday mornings/early afternoons. We all know you are a mama's boy but they love playing with you and holding you too!

P.P.P.S.  Poop when your daddy is watching you. Thanks!

Caught!!!!!

Playgroup Art

Caydin has always enjoyed his Kindermusik classes, not so much for the music and activities but because he has friends to run and play with.  When our Kindermusik class ended for the Spring session, a bunch of families decided to get together at homes for playgroup.  And thus - our weekly playgroups have started! Now 4 months later, we look forward to getting together every week.  Last week, we started doing a little craft activity with the kids because we all decided to skip the Kindermusik art class (saving money ya know!!!) so here you have Caydin and his buddies doing art!

His first week, he wasn't so impressed by the art or the painting.  He was much more interested in all the dad's playing football on the Playstation.  He did however put a couple drops of paint on a little green tote bag and added a few pompom's. 

This week, we did the art activity at our house and did ice painting.  I mixed water with food dye, then froze it (added in straws to be the handles when the ice was half frozen). Little Lady and Caydin who were the two who wanted nothing to do with last week's project were the two most interested in the ice painting! The older boys wanted to jump in the bounce house but did come over to paint alittle!

We will definitely do ice painting again!
