Our Fun-Filled Friday

Today we had a fun time! Kainaan and I started our day with a trip to the Berry Farm right by our house with Kainaan's Pre-school. We went on a hay ride with no hay and got off to pick a pumpkin from the patch. You will see in the pics the worried look on his face. He was so upset that the tractor had left us, he wanted to ride the tractor and had no interest in finding the perfect pumpkin. What a fun mess! But the whining stopped as soon as the magical tractor came back. Next stop, feeding the billy goats...which my 'pretty boy' wanted no part in...so Mommy got HER hands dirty. You never know what Kainaan is going to do b/c at the zoo, he LOVED the goats. So anyways, after the goats, we headed back to the front. So, it was there that we got our pumpkin coloring book, pumpkin sippie cup filled with fresh apple cider, and our pumpkin that we picked from the patch.
Moving on...
Tonight, we had the Pre-School Fall Festival. We only lasted an hour. We ate chili, did face painting, decorated cookies, made a candle jar, and played on the inflatable slide and bounce house. We had to duck out before it ended b/c Kainaan does not quite understand what waiting for his turn means and it is just hard to constantly hold him and fight him. So, we made a break for it before things got really bad.
But all in all, it was a fun day! Enjoy the pics!


The fun is about to begin!




Ready for the tractor ride!



"Wait tractor, don't go!"




"Mom! I wanna ride the tractor! Is it coming back??"



"OK, Mom...I picked a pumpkin! Now where is the tractor?"



Yeah, a little close! My arms are only so long. Ha!



"You want me to do what?? Get my hands dirty??"



"Mmmm! Apple cider is yummy!"



Now its on to the strawberry slushy while we wait for our pumpkins.



Our Pumpkin Pickin' fun is over.



His favorite thing...



Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!



And we do it again!



Making a candle with his teacher, Mrs. Becca



Getting a Frankenstein painted on his face.



He was so still for this!



My Sweet boy!



This was a dark room with music and a disco ball, but my flash lit up the room!



He loves to dance! We haven't decided if he takes after me or Tim...???



Bouncing fun!



Getting tired??



NEVER TIRE!!! Must keep going!

Kainaan's Big Boy Furniture!

Well, here it is! Kainaan has big boy furniture now! YAY! So here's the deal, we had ordered him a trundle bed frame for underneath the bed, right? We had plans to use it for toy storage until he was older and needed another mattress for sleep-overs. Well, that plan went right out the window when it was set up and the bed was like 4 feet high!! OMG! It wasn't what we expected. Poor Kainaan couldn't even get in the bed. So I called and made arrangements for the trundle to be picked up and our money refunded. Tim and I took it out of the room and lowered his bed, its much better. So anyways, we still have some finishing touches to do...hang some cute stuff on the walls, and get a lamp, and a bookcase. We have a football jersey from the movie 'Varsity Blues' (i.e. Kainaan's Name-sake) being professionally framed and that is going to be awesome on his wall. (I'll post a pic of that when it is finished). Oh, and I need to get some curtains or valances or something for his windows. OK- I am rambling, so enjoy the pics!



Hey Everybody! Wanna see my new room?




Where is the big Guy's toys??


Oh! Here's his toys! Perfect! Out of sight!!


He loves his new bed!!

Hoover Crafts and Cruisin'

I knew I had forgot to post some pictures! This was Friday and Saturday at Granny and Pop's house. They have a toy hoover craft that Kainaan loves to fly and a Jeep that he can't get enough of! Anyways, enjoy the many pictures!


A day is not complete without Thomas the Train!


Hoover Craft time!


Every time he would get it to fly, he would cover his head! It was so funny!


He was a great retriever for Granny!


Covering his head again! He loved it, but was a little spooked after it hit him!


See? He was spooked...running and screaming, "Noooo!!"


Time for a little drive!


He does a great job! He drives like his Mommy!


Hey Mommy! I will help you sweep Granny's porch!


Granny is making his day by getting more toys out. And he is squealing his tires!

What's Been Happenin' In NC?

Well, lets see...Pop has had some more PT. He is doing great! the PT guy had him out the house and walking down the front steps and around the drive-way. He did great today! here are some pics:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What else has been happenin'?? Oh, we have had some spiders making setting up camp on the deck. The other evening I saw a spider making her web! I actually watched her doing it! It was amazing! I have NEVER seen a web actually being made! I was just in awe! How cool is that? Have any of you ever seen a spider spinning its web right there in front of you?? It was awesome! Then this morning, Mary pointed out that we had another one! This one was feeding on something. It was cool so of course, I grab the camera. I wasn't jittery until the 1st one started moving and then disappeared. Then I was freaked out since I couldn't see it anymore. But I got some great shots!

**Thanks to my sister-in-law, I now know that you can click on the pics on the blog and it blows them up...you might want to do this on the spider pics. I got 2 awesome pics that is so close and clear that you can see the tiny hairs on them! Here are the pics:

*This is my favorite picture. Its sooo clear. Be sure, to blow this one up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK-No more creepiness! Kainaan and Granny had a good time laying out on the floor watching his favorite video...The Boom De Adda Commercial from the Discovery Channel. I will put the link here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5BxymuiAxQ But here are the pictures:

*No your eyes are fine. I had my lens on Manual focus instead of auto.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And what would a trip be to Granny and Pop's without cookies? Kainaan picked out some yummy chocolate chip cookies with Halloween colors!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here is Kainaan acting silly in the tub. He was eating the bubbles and putting the liquid baby soap in his hand and wiping it across his nose and mouth so he could blow soap bubbles! What a goofball! :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One tuckered out little boy! He has had so much fun going up and down the stairs to the bonus room. He was supposed to be up there watching TV while I cooked yesterday, but he got really quiet. I went up and he was knocked out. Well, 630 PM is way too late to be napping so I woke him up when Granny came home from work. I laid him on the floor, downstairs, in the living room and changed his diaper. He obviously was not ready to wake up. So he curled up right he was at and slept for a few more minutes. Poor baby!

Welcome Crazy October!

Well, here it is! October...its going to be a busy month. I will have lots to keep you posted on. First, Kainaan and I are starting out the month in Pikeville, NC with Granny and Pop. Pop had knee replacement surgery last Friday and needs help getting back on his feet...or should I say his knee? Ha! We will be here until Sunday the 5th. Wendy is coming to take over nurse duties on Sunday. Unfortunately, we will miss her. Maybe we can wave on the road...or stop and have lunch. ~~Hey Wendy, call or email me. Maybe we can work something out!~~

Anyways, I will put some pics of Dan's knee on here later tonight or tomorrow. He has lots of staples! OUCH!! I would say he is doing well, besides arguing with Mary and the Physical Therapist (HA!) about not wanting to do his exercises. And he is trying to do a lot by himself, and he shouldn't! Like this morning...I helped him out of the chair so he could go clean up. I am thinking, shave and stuff at the sink. But he had other plans, he took a shower! He was not supposed to do that until tonight when Mary could help in to the shower since he has to step up into it...Oh, he is going to get me fired! I kept standing in the bedroom and asking through the door if he was ok. I heard water but I thought it was coming from the sink! He is sneaky!! :-) I'm going to whoop up on him! I reminded him that I was in charge of his meds...LOL! I could knock him out or just make him suffer if he doesn't cooperate! Haha!

So anyways, here we are starting our hectic month. When we go home, Kainaan has some fun events with his pre-school planned and then he and I are off to Hattiesburg, Houma, Hammond, and Bastrop! Then 4 days after our trip, its Halloween!! YAY! So stay tuned to our blog...we are going to have many fun stories and and some great pictures headed your way.

Oops--I forgot to tell you something!

OK- so did everyone see the last post? You know, the one where Kainaan played in the backyard all day. Well, I forgot the best part--
I have always heard of little boys putting crazy things in their pockets for Mommies to find or little boys picking things up and bringing it to Mommy. Its usually bugs and such, right? Well, I have now joined that portion of Mommies that gets grossed out...Kainaan was throwing little rocks in the backyard and bringing some to me, and so on. That was so cute and sweet! But the party foul came when he brought me a piece of dried dog doo-doo! Ewwwww!!! YUCK!!
Of course, I made a face and squirmed, & he thought it was hilarious. So off to the sink we went!
Ick! I just thought I would give ya'll a good laugh today.
I mean really, why couldn't he pick up a frog, a lizard, a stink bug??? A PIECE OF POO!?!? GROSS!

Well, hope all is well with everyone! Enjoy the weekend!
GEAUX LSU TIGERS!!! :-)

And what's up with Florida? Tebow just lost to Ole Miss?!? Man, where will that put LSU in the AP Poll?? Let's all say a little prayer for LSU tonight against Mississippi State! C'mon TIGERS!!!!
