More Micah Quotes

While choosing Doritos out of the bag Micah kept getting full chips, not broken ones and said, "Wow, I'm King of the Big ones tonight!" (TWSS)

While listening to The Macarena Micah said, "This makes me want to be a Mexican. It's a good dancing song."

Micah showed me some sock fuzz and said, "Look what I found in my big toe." I told him that we really need to cut his toenails, to which he responded, "So I can find more treasures?!"

The boy is a HOOT!!

Picnic

Micah has been asking for the last 2 weeks to go on a picnic. I have had excuses for the past 2 weeks. No bread, rain, much needed nap etc. Today I surprised him when I picked him up from school with things for a picnic. Today was the perfect day. We went to a small park between his school and home and had a picnic and played. Micah was so excited, he played everything, but his favorite thing to do was push Patton in the swing. I think Patton enjoyed it too :)

Heaven on a plate

Our Girl Scout Cookies are here! Ms. Martha called me and let me know this weekend and we had to figure out how we'd get together for me to get them. Ms. Martha has been living a VERY busy life recently, so she suggested that we have lunch. I was super excited, number one, I got to hang with her, number two, I got to eat lunch out, and number three, Micah got to stay at school late.... That made both of us happy. Micah always asks to stay late at school. He always wants to eat lunch there and has always wanted to take a nap there. Today he did both. He took a nap at school! That is major! I was SO happy to pick him up at 3 and find him happy and rested. Normally he is exhausted when I pick him up at 12! Naps do a body good!
While Micah was learning, eating, and sleeping, Ms. Martha and I went to The Cheesecake Factory for a Oh So Delicious Lunch. I LOVE that place! I totally enjoyed my lunch including dessert. Patton did great most of the time and even ate some bread. Girl Scout Cookies, Micah napped at school, Cheesecake Factory...Today was a great day! Thank you Ms. Martha!!

Gym Dawgs

I never thought that I would enjoy watching gymnastics as much as I do! Daddy has been buying season tickets for the Gym Dawgs for the past 2 years. I was able to go a couple of times last year, and this year not only did I get to go with my family, but I also got invited to go with my BFF Sarah. When I went with Sarah, her baby Noah came, and so did her sister Lauren (my soul sister) and her friend too.
I really enjoy going to the meets and am always in awe of what these girls can do. I have never been good at gymnastics. I can't even do a cartwheel. When I worked at the Fort, the teacher who I worked with tried real hard to teach me, I just couldn't do one. Although after a lot of practice I became decent at the rings. I have grown to Love gymnastics and would LOVE to enroll Micah.... I think he'd be real good. When I taught, I used to enjoy watching the kids flip around, but was always impressed with the boys when they'd do back handsprings, and flips..... I just love it, and I would love to have Micah be able to entertain me in that way (I just have to talk Stacy into it.... We'll see) Last night I got to go with Daddy, Nut, Daph, and Aiden. We had a great time it was "Pink Out," I liked the guys who were painted to say Save the tatas!

Wordless Wednesday.... Where's Micah?

Surprise!!

We have such a BIG family, it is so hard to keep up with everyone's birthdays. I can't tell you the majority of my family members birthdays..... I know the months, but that's about all. I do know Mama's, but didn't think anything about it until one of her long time friends emailed me and asked what we were planning on doing to celebrate Mama's 60th! SIXTY?! I had NO idea she was turing 60! Well, as soon as Daphne, Laura, and I read our emails, we began planning a surprise party. We invited all of her friends and family. We planned on having about 60-70 people. Nut, Daddy, and my little family headed to our favorite family shopping spot, Costco on Saturday morning. We bought a ton of food! We prepared and got everything ready JUST it time.
We normally celebrate adults birthdays at Sunday lunch, but we told Mama that maybe it would be easier to have her's on a Saturday night so that Daph's family could come, and we'd probably celebrate Aiden's day on Sunday. We told Mama that we'd have supper at Nut's house on Saturday night when she finished working.
She got there and we had everyone's cars parked away from the house so she had NO idea, but because she heard all of the children playing in the back yard, the crazy lady came in the back door instead of the front door!! SURPRISE!!
She was surprised and had a great time with her friends. I think everyone had a great time other than poor P. He cried most of the time :(
I'm thinking he may be sick AGAIN. Minus my sad baby that wanted to be held by ME the WHOLE time, I think it was a success! LOVE Mama!! She does't look 60 does she?!

Spring is in the air?

This week was Perfect as far as weather is concerned. We spent a lot of time outside and got some things accomplished, but also just played. I am so excited that warm weather is on the way. I even got out some shorts and short sleeves for Micah today! Here is Patton enjoying the outdoors and tasting leaves.

I'll leave you with Micah being Micah with a bandaid on his head and food on his face.... With the quote of the day from Micah, "Upon my sharp listening ears, I heard the ice-cream van again."
