"C" Day

Monday was our 3rd "school day" and yours truly Mrs Harper was the boys teacher.
We learned everything about the letter C - learned our bible verses Col 3:20. Read the very Hungry Catepillar and Click Clack Mow! We did some coloring pages, used our dot paints to write C & c and of course no school day seems to be complete without some baking. This week it was Confetti Cupcakes! We ended our morning with sidewalk chalk! I am sure of two things, the boys had fun and learned their bible verse anything else was just icing on the cupcake. Yummy! Notice the picture of our class praying before we starting our lesson! They share their own prayer requests and pray outloud together it was the highlight of my week!

North GA State Fair

We love the North Georgia State Fair and have gone each year for the past several years. For me this year had to be the best yet. Seeing everything through Noah's eyes and watching him get excited about the really big things like the BMX Bike stunt show to the little things like getting a balloon to carry around. We stayed the entire day (almost 8 hours), watched every show, fed and pet the animals, went on rides and ate yummy snacks - corn on the cob, apple dumplings, hot dogs and homemade ice cream. Noah rode the tea cups (he looked like he was about to be sick the whole time but came off the ride with a smile on his face), Merry go round and the BIG slide with Daddy. Noah's favorite of course were the dancers. (Since turning 2 "the dancers" and dancing are on the top of Noah's favorite things list) He loved watching the local dance studios perform and every time we walked by the stage whether it was show time or not, Noah asked "where are the dancers".

"A" is for Airplane & Apple Pie

This week Noah had his first day of "school". Complete with lunch and backpack and school supplies we drove to our 1st "school" hourse. Once a week we swap teachers (Moms) and schools (our homes) with 2 of Noah's buddies and their mommies my dear friends (Ann & Shannon). Monday was our 1st official day at school. The boys learned all about the letter "A", read a book about Airplanes, had apples and peanut butter for snack, painted with apples and made apple pie. (Notice Noah dressed the theme in his Apple jon jon) Noah remembers that he put the cinnamon in and that Tyler put in the salt but he doesn't "member what Logan's was". Noah is so excited, yesterday he told Phillip that when Mommy teaches him he is learning about "C", but before that he gets to school at Mrs Pinson's. I say we have the best Preschool in town!!!

As requested!

It was suggested to me that I hadn't posted enough pictures from our trip to HHI this summer. So as requested here you go...

My Boys!!!

I am so excited to have a few days with NO responsiblities to anyone. I leave in about an hour for Florida and tom'w cruise to the Bahamas. Why did I feel so sad putting Noah down for is nap. Maybe because I have never been away from him from for than 1 night maybe 2. Maybe because he seems to completely understand where I am going and who is watching him. He seems fine and excited and to spend time with his Daddy, Grandma and friends. And although I am SO blessed and grateful and can't wait to get on the rode... I am going to miss my boys!!!

"The Big Boat"

This past February we all went on a cruise together aka "The Big Boat". Noah had a blast and still asks to go to the Big Boat restaurant when we talk about going out to eat. Well this time around Mommy is getting to go with her friend for some girl time and some R & R. Today Noah and I spent the day playing together, going out for a "special treat" at one of our new favorite spots (Great Harvest Bread Co), hanging out the playground and reading tons of books. During lunch we had a heart to heart and I explained to Noah that Mommy was going on a trip and that he would be able to play a lot with Grandma, Daddy, Papa and Ty and Logan. He said "who you go with" I said "Auntie Sarah" he said "okay, where are you going". I responded in words I thought he would understand and said "The Big Boat" and just in Noah style he chimed in with "Oh you mean your going on a cruise!"
Not only is he sweet, beautiful, & funny, but he is so smart! Do I sound like a proud mama! Well I am!!!

Hope you enjoy the fun pic of Noah with Monmmy and Aunt Elana at HHI

Mr. Cheese

We are a no cable house and Noah has only watched a few videos about shapes, colors and letters and Happy Feet "The Penguin Movie" so our condo at the beach has 100's of channels and Noah found Sponge Bob! He kept calling it the Mr Cheese show. I guess the yellow thing with holes does resemble cheese. What was even funner was when we saw a little boy at the pool with Sponge Bob water wings and Noah said "Mommy he's wearing cheese". I did learn that Sponge Bob is not only odd but says some words that I do not want in Noah's vocabulary.
So sorry! No more Mr. Cheese!
