Resourceful.

Leave it to an out of town visitor to bring out the resourcefulness (sp?!) in me. These past 2 weeks have been pretty tough with the little man. Too hot to go to the park, too hot to go to the pool, too hot to do anything unless you are a vampire. However, Grace and Bella came to town and after a big breakfast Grace was ready to figure out what our plans for the kids were. Say what? You mean go outside?! After some thought, we settled on the Forum Shops. Free aquarium (Chase is in love with fish ever since Grandpa & Grandma took him to the Shark Reef); Free show (he loved the talking statues, not so much on the fire) and a great lunch (thanks Grace) and we had ourselves a little day!

A good reminder that there are a lot of things to do around here, you just have to look. Oh and a great reminder that it is time to sign Chase up for his fall classes...whoohoo fall is almost here!

LOVE his face here. Me? I look like I am about to get hit by lightning. I think it may be shock over the fact that I am finally in front of the camera.

Ugh. Hello Pigtails! I love!

Coloring Gone Bad

So Chase colors every day (almost). Chase has art paper that I tape to the kitchen table and then I take all his clothes off and he colors with his washable marker set. Being such a clean kid and all, he is usually pretty good about staying on the paper (and off his bod). Today we tried something different...his first Sesame Street Coloring Book. He loved the book. Staying on the paper, however,  was another story....Washable Markers will forever be my hero!

Good Morning!

Chase has a passion for his morning chores. From sweeping to vacuuming to dusting, he is the best little helper ever!

And about the chores? I kid, I kid....but his obsession is very real :)

Logotastic!

I wanted to share the fantastic logo that my good friend Kyle Christian created for me. When I went to him begging for his services, I had all sorts of ideas for flowers and flourishes and other such nonsense. He quickly showed me that something a little more simple will grow with me through the years. He produced the logo below and I love it! And I don't miss the flowers and flourishes one bit ;).

Boredom Strikes!

What's a kid to do when mom and dad forget to bring something to the coffee shop to play with while they sip their lattes and discuss current world affairs? Play with coffee cup tops of course! The things that interest Chase never cease to amaze me :)
