What to do first?

Today is one of those days where I really don't have much to do except make a few phone calls in the morning and run some errands. Saturday is Big Boy's 3rd birthday so I would like to get him a few presents! Woot! I guess I do have a list of things to do but nothing that I would really stress over and I'll get to it when I get to it. I am looking forward to a fun day off work. Days like this make me a bit nervous because I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like a surprise bill in the mail or even better, Hubby's car is in the shop and he drove to work with his sister. I really hope they don't call with some outrageous price for a new tire and oil change.

Now for the question of the day. What to get BB for his birthday. Unfortunatly, none of the stores carry any JoJo stuff anymore so I had to buy a few things off eBay which won't be here in time. We need to get a gift for one of his friends who is having a birthday party on Sunday. I'll let BB tell me what he wants. We'll go to TRU and hopefully he'll be excited about a few things and I'll buy those. Luckily, I can still take him with me when I shop for him. I know this will be the last year for that. I guess I should get rolling on my day.

Feel free to drop any gift suggestions!

JoJo My Love....

Big boy is in love. Her name is JoJo. I think we have seen every episode of JoJo's circus at least fifty times. He takes his JoJo doll EVERYWHERE he goes. He even brought her into the bath tub last night which is good because she was getting a bit dirty.

I really can't complain. Of all the kids cartoons out there, I have to admit, she is my favorite. Hopefully we will be able to make it to Disney before he gets much older so he can "meet" his love.

Happy October!

Yippy! I woke up this morning and it was actually chilly outside. Finally, the weather is breaking. To keep with tradition, I think we may take big boy to the pumpkin patch this weekend. We had so much fun last year chasing him through the corn maze!

My favorite time of year is here!

Not a Care in the World

If only life could be so simple. Big boy loves the beach and who can blame him. We all had a great afternoon. I wonder what he is thinking when he is staring out into the ocean?

I don't know what possessed us to bring him up to the beach AFTER his bath though.

Operation Fingerpaint

Was not the rousing success I anticipated it to be. What kid does not like finger painting. I just gave big boy the green light to trash the bathroom and he wanted nothing to do with it. I hung drawing paper in the tub, stripped him down to his pull-up and filled a few small bowls with paint. I had a great time. How was this not fun for him? Seriously, I need to find projects to keep this kid entertained. Everything I have tried, has failed.
The only thing that would make this kid happy would be if I allowed him to blow things up. He is not even three. He would have more fun throwing dishes off the deck at this point. I think I have failed.
