Ambulance

We had another fun day with my Moms group!!!! Today we went to Britt to get a tour of the Ambulances'! Aiden loved it and even got to pretend drive them! And almost as good had some new fun snacks!!! Asher was his pleasant self....sat in the stroller and observed....while leaving a trail of cheerios wherever he went. I didn't take any pictures, however the Britt newspaper was there to do an article on my group so maybe I will post a link to that when it comes out. This is the 3rd newspaper to feature the North Iowa SAHMs! I am just so happy how this group is growing! And love to see the friendships that are forming out of it. : )

My NEW camera arrived in the mail today! I am so excited! You will probably be seeing a lot more pictures now! It can even take pictures underwater...look out pool!

Andy is at fireman training tonight....he has been gone soooooo much these last few months I am so ready for this to be over to have my husband back! I need someone to cuddle up on the couch with again! I am TVoing the Office to watch when he gets home here. The boys are fast asleep, ahhhhhhh a quiet house....if only it would clean itself.

Planting Season

Today we planted marigold seeds!!! Enjoy a few pictures of our trip to visit Grandpa Greenhouse & Nana!

Step One: Filling up the pot with soil.
You would think this very boyish boy would have loved this step...well he did, but he wanted that dirt off of his hands right away when it was over! Also secure in his manhood he picked out a pink Easter Egg decoration and a Pink balloon to take home!



Step Two: put in the seeds.















Step Three: water in the seeds.
This is FUN! Also why we wore our workboots!

Aiden

Today we decided to start something new. Our project was coloring and cutting out all of the different weather symbols. We just need to laminate them. We plan to use them every morning when we wake up to look outside and do the weather forecast, hanging the right ones up on the window each day. I was impressed with Aiden today when he picked the sun and the wind and it was sunny and windy out! So we hung them up on the window. I can't believe he is starting preschool in the fall already, my little boy is growing up! This project reminds me of preschool!

Aiden has been counting out on his hand for awhile now and he is getting really good at it. Holding up any number of fingers and knowing right away how many are there. Even a little adding and subtracting.



Then tonight after Asher was in bed and Andy was at his fireman training, Aiden and I had a nice evening cuddled up on the couch. He asked me......Can I kiss your forehead Mom? 'Yes' Can I kiss your nose Mom? 'Yes' Can I kiss your mouth Mom? 'Yes' Then he said, " I love you SO SO SO SO SO SO much!" The best moments in life are right there!
