Keyboards are not toys...or are they?

Landon has decided that playing with the keyboard on the computer is loads of fun! Especially when he can pull all they keys off the new one I bought!  No wonder this one was a "bargain"!  Today, he got away from us for a few seconds and when we figured out where he was, this is what we found!

It's kind of blurry but I think you get the idea and can imagine how hard it was for me to type this blog! I'd almost prefer that he'd written on every wall with a crayon because at least Mr. Clean can fix that with his magic eraser easier than I can put all these keys back on!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are thankful for our family, friends and especially for our little guy who has brought so much joy into our lives!  Today, we spent Thanksgiving with Nana, Papa, Aunt Meredith, Uncle Vaughan and cousins Mary Haven, Hannah and Asher.  It was so much fun and the food was all fantastic!  My favorite was the stuffing and the cream cheese celery, dada's favorite was...well, everything and Landon's favorite was the carrots!  He kinda liked the "sicole" too!  The kid loves popsicles!  I made my very first sweet potato pie using Landon's Nana's recipe and it was yum-o!  I used Pioneer Woman's pie crust recipe and even though it wasn't as good as my Mama's it was pretty good!  My Mama makes the best pie crust and even though I've watched her do it a gazillion times I just can't make it taste as good as she does!

We are looking forward to a visit from Mimi, Papa, Aunt Judy, Uncle Chris and Uncle Chris' girlfriend tomorrow!  We're going to spend lots of time playing, tailgating, watching the Hogs and just enjoying each others company.  Then, next week we are packing up and heading to Kansas for our annual hunting trip and Christmas visit!  Landon's dada is SO excited for the hunting part and Landon and I are excited for the visiting part!  We just can't wait to see everyone!!

We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Landon made this fun hat at school!

Fun front stoop picture!

We kinda like this kid...kinda like him a whole lot! 

Mr. Bubble!

As a kid I LOVED Mr. Bubble and my Mama and Papa always had some waiting for us when we'd come to visit.  I knew Landon would love bubbles too but I kept forgetting to buy some for him.  Last weekend I remembered and I was right!  The kid loves bubbles!

Mr Bubble is my new BFF!  Thanks mom!

They feel funny on my face!

They don't taste half bad either!

You want some?

Thanksgiving Feast at Second Presbyterian Preschool

Landon's preschool had their Thanksgiving Feasts yesterday and today.  He usually doesn't go on Monday but this week he did so he got to have have Thanksgiving Feast twice!  Today I went to help out...and you know what, the kid couldn't have cared less that I was there! Ha!  I don't know if it was because he's not used to seeing me there since Nana drops him off and picks him up or if it's not "cool" for your mommy to come to school and he didn't want to look "uncool" in front of his toddler friends.  Maybe he's prepping me for when he's a teenager and won't want me to give him a big ole kiss when I drop  him off at his first day of high school.  Oh well, his friend Ava loved me and didn't want me to leave!  She kept pulling on my arm and telling me to sit down every time I tried to leave.  She is adorable!  Here are some fun pictures from our day.

Woohoo!  More cheese!  Cheese is my favorite!

Wheee!  The slide at school is fun!

Landon and Liam!  BFFs!  (Do boys have bff's?)

There's a "potty" goin' on!

So, a few days ago Landon squatted down in the tub and said "I pee!" and he did just that!  So, I decided it was time to buy the kid a training potty to see if he was ready.  Turns out he's not quite ready...and, the potties you buy at Target are not (in my opinion) boy friendly...I won't elaborate here but let's just say boys and training potties are not directionally synced up.  Landon loved playing with it and he loves the idea and we're grateful for that...at least he knows what a potty is and we'll get there.

Here are a few pictures of our "potty" party!

So, the potty was in the bathroom but Landon decided it should be in his room...and his room is a mess these days!

The cushion seat and "catcher of my duty" are so overrated!

How do these things go back in here?

Okay, let's take this thing back to Target...or at least to the bathroom!  Grody...I'm not ready momma and dadda!

Our home!

Jim and his parents have worked really hard on our landscaping and we think it looks fantastic!!

Landon likes it too!
