Family Friday

Dave is on spring break this week, and I don't teach Friday's this semester, so we had a little "Family Friday" today.  Starting off, of course, with some quality book time in Owen's favourite chair!

On a side note, so you understand O's love of books, he has taken to sleeping with a small assortment of books in his crib.  After our pre bed story time, he insists on bringing some books into bed with him (the selection changes every week or so) so he can "read" on his own before he falls asleep.  I think in some ways he views the books as toys, similar to having his stuffed animals in the crib with him.  It's pretty cute, and I love that we are fostering a love of reading in him!

Our day continued with a little trip to Home Depot to get some trim and new stair treads, plus a new table saw for the attic refinishing project (which, by the way, I got completely painted over my spring break last week...it's looking awesome, and I can't wait to move our bedroom up there!!  Pics to follow once completion is, well, complete!)

Our little helper!  O got a lot of smiles from other customers as he "helped" Daddy push the cart of wood around!

Our day was topped off by a little post dinner play with the Woodsey family - part of our 30+ year old toy collection!

Note the blanket and pillow fort in the background.
The Woodsey family were moved there to "sleep" for the night.

And while these last pics are not part of our day, they deserve to be included, simply because they are hilarious, and who doesn't need a good laugh?!?  What started out as O just sitting nicely in his favourite chair, turned into this when he realized I was taking his picture...a little toddler boudoir...what a ham!

Lazy Sunday

Wake up in the late afternoon...well, actually Dave and I did get to sleep in until a whopping 8am this morning!  It was awesome!!!  We celebrated our 7 year anniversary last night and our friends Brian and Tiffany graciously offered to watch Owen overnight at their house so we could go out to a fancy dinner and then sleep in and go out for breakfast.  It was the first time Owen had spent the night away from both of us, and he did amazing!  He apparently headed to their stairs  to go up to the pack'n'play as soon as he heard the words "time for bed", then slept through until 6:45 or so and got up to have a nice pancake breakfast - all without a fuss!  Apparently he didn't miss us at all  ;)

Anyway, here are some pics from the past several lazy Sundays

O's new thing is laying down on the couch pillows
 (either on the couch or the floor) and pretending to sleep

and here's the fake shut eye!  I love that little cheek dimple of his!

can't even bother to sit up...epitome of lazy Sunday!

yup, I live in a household of sweet-ass bed head

Lazy Sunday post Saturday library trip
