Yum-tastic!

Today has been exhausting. Holden has reminded me how much being a mommy/daddy is a full time job. Even if we already have a full time job. Today we played drive thru fast food with his kitchen. Sat on his big step (the landing at the bottom of the stairs) talking about things. We played hide and seek. Which, in my opinion, was the best thing ever. I miss it from my childhood. The thrill of being found while you are really trying to hide and are caught. He got me every time. I couldn't find him once. And that is the only time he actually hid. After that it was all me. Right now it is "Gabba Gabba" time. He is sitting next to me with his Count Chocula and apple juice in a daze. I don't know what it is about this show. He is amazed. I also worked on my first "Bento Box". Technically it isn't one because it isn't in a Bento Box. But it is along the same idea. I put 3 of his favorite things together. Pineapple, PB &J and pepperoni. He freaked out when he saw the pepperoni bag. "NUM NUMS!!!!". Crazy that a 19 month old is so in love with spicy things. Well spicy things to a child.

Twas a fantastic day. Sad that I have to go to my other full time job at 4. Makes a mommy sad :(

This week...

Our sink lately has been full of sippy cups and butter knives. I have to admit, I love it. I can't help but think that it is cute!
So this week I started working on Holden's Halloween costume. He is going to be a robot. I am making it out of a sweatsuit, felt and styrofoam balls.
We are also making all of our meals this week. We actually sat down and planned the menus for the next couple of weeks. We already had pork chops and red potatoes and baked chicken. I can not get over how proud I am about the baked chicken. Glad I originally bought a lot of the chicken so we can have it again! We also had grilled cheese and tomato soup. Felt weird because for the past 2 years we have only had it on Thursdays. The story behind that is because it is The Office night and for Jim and Pam's first "date" they had grilled cheese. Kind of corny, but cute :)
Also I have gone back and forth on if we will be making Christmas gifts this year or just be buying gift cards. I have taken on the task of making piggy banks for people. My orders are big. I am making at least 7 for Christmas. But I have found a new fun hobby. I haven't tried it out yet. It is homemade screen printing. I am going try it out first and make an Ohio State t shirt for Holden and I. If it turns out I already have a couple ideas for the women in our lives. I hope it works! Plus I don't want to spend a load of money on a new OS t shirt for myself.
Plus I have decided that I am going to take this blog serious. I would like to update it multiple times every week. Hopefully that can happen.
We will see.
