Last night we caught up with Rob and Aubree for the fourth Harry Potter. We dropped William off at Grandma's house before heading to the century on State and 33rd. Thanks Mom and Colleen for watching William. EJ watched the big screen and lights intently. He sat threw a movie in the theater before William has.
Happy thirtieth birthday Dave. On my thirtieth birthday we were living on St. Simon Island. Mark took me to the next barrier island to stay in the Jekyll Island Resort Hotel. We both got terrific sunburns, lathered each other in Aloe, and had a great time.
William's aunt Colleen drew a picture on the sidewalk of an old troll looking person. William tried to convince me it was him. He spent some good time walking around in dad's socks. He's been enjoying this past time activity since he was barely able to walk. It makes him feel grown up.
William has been leaving his friends house at a much happier cord than in the past. Yesterday we stopped at the Tornavacca's. Jessica let me borrow her family cookbook. Today we stopped by the Ivie's house. Both times I successfully got him out the door. In the past there have been William has had many tears, kicks, and hits before we got home.
I entered two recipes in the "Corn is King" contest. I plan on entering at least one more. If any of you have great recipes that call for fresh, frozen, or canned corn let me know. I can enter as many recipes as i want. The Grand Prize gets five hundred dollars.
William likes the clothes his cousin Paul gave to him. Thanks for the nice phone message Chris. Hope your teeth feel better today.
Dad stopped by yesterday to visit. He liked my banana cream pie. He was out in the Garden looking for the pepper plants I had him plant. He was baffled because he had yet to hear about our garden goblin that undid all his doing. Sorry dad but I appreciated the effort all the same.
Gratitude List
1-PBS.org has a Calliou game William is interested in. Mark was more successful at teaching him to click and drag with the mouse.
2-After having an electric toothbrush for about four years, i understand Mark will forget to recharge the toothbrush if it goes dead when he's brushing.
3-Took care of my speeding ticket.
4-This was the second day William told me he wanted to lay down and take a nap. After reading one chapter of the Book of Mormon reader he was fast asleep.
5-Jen recommended i reserved the ABC mini series "north and South" at the library.
6-Mark and I both found a Gofer Hole. Mark blasted as much water down their as possible. We've yet to see the guy.
7-William played with EJ on the floor for fifteen minutes. William would place the blanket over their heads. William would remove EJ's Binky and insist that he suck on the opposite side of the nipple. EJ was a very good sport. Better than mom.
8-Mark mowed the lawn and killed a wasps making a hive in our railroad ties.
9-Mark entertained William so I could lay in bed with EJ until 9am this morning.
10-We're going to the Jackson's wedding reception tonight. All of Mark's family will be there.
