Blog Lazy

This is probably about as lazy as blogging can get. Besides not blogging at all, I guess that would be lazier blogging.
Follow this link to my friend Trish’s blog to see some cute pictures and an adorable dance party video from when they babysat Atlas for Mike and I to do a date night. It is such a perfect setup. We get free babysitting, and Atlas has a BLAST. Perfect. I’m so glad that we have such awesome friends here in RWC!

Sick Days


blog_sickday

Needless to say, Mike and I Aren’t quite as cute as this little guy as we lay on the couch wallowing in our sickness. At least we can share these rainy sick days snuggled up together watching wallace and gromit over and over.

Mike continues to amaze me as he offers to be the one to see to all of aTLAS’ NEEDS EVEN THOUGH HE’s not feeling any better than me! What a guy <3.

All You Need are Balloons

Really. That is all you need for a successful two year old birthday party!
Well no matter what I do my little man continues to get older. Sometimes I realize that I’m not correcting him on his words to pronounce them better because….I LOVE the way he says them! With all of his w’s replacing the r’s,  his silent s’s, and the way he seems to put n’s in front of everything… You try telling him that the word for Oatmeal is NOT “noh-wee-oh”…
We threw a small bday party. He really does love playing with his little toddler friends and I’m so glad they were all able to make it (along with their parents who I equally love!)! We get together with these little people + their mommies several times a week. And playtime usually wears long into naptime because we’re always having such a great time together.

We Gave him a Tball set and a soccer ball. They had a ton of fun hitting with the tball in the living room, until it was just too much to share just one bat. Then we put it away for the night. Hey they all shared pretty well for as long as they did :). Mike is also making Atlas a very special gift that is not yet finished. Gifts not pictured: an adorable little red tie from friends, A cozy “pet pals” thomas the train pillow from Gparents D, and some spending money from Gparents S that we will have a blast with at toys’r’us this week (but he thought the gift was the card with the elephant….he loves elephants :).

The Thomas PJS were also a bday gift from us (that we actually just had because we forgot to give them to him to christmas…). The party went pretty late, and by the time he got into bed he passed out reading “just go to bed” with the light on! What a cutie. Party hard.
