Graduation weekend

It was a busy weekend! James headed to Grandma Rose and Grandpa Larry's house. I received the picture below, so I knew he was at least... clean!

 

I had an out of the ordinary Friday night fieldtrip with 40 students and 2 adult chaperones. My friend Cassie (English teacher extraordinaire) and Eric (Assistant Principal) took this picture with me, with one of my favoritte students Casey photobombing us!

The fieldtrip was a Michael Jackson tribute show- 2 hours of a "Michael" lipsyncing and dancing to great jams!

 

 

Michael is really my (new) friend Luis Castillo. He's been doing this for years. This is the second time I've taken students to one of his shows and he's so grateful for the new fans.

 

Students with a Thriller zombie.

 

 

The next day we spent a perfect Saturday with Ana and Rich at a Twins game. AWESOME seats. AWESOME company. Lotsa beer. DOH.

 

I found this artwork in James' backpack. He said that he is the King of the Castle, and there is Jim and myself, guarding the door. Yeah, that's about it.

 

When James made it home we were able to give him his graduation present at last.

I think he liked it.

 

 

Mario Bros Wii. All for me!

 

You're welcome, our little Prince.

The Big Tub

James showed interest in taking a bath in "my" bathtub. He was excited to see the water jets and then thrilled with the mountains of bubbles. It was quite the mess.

Bathtime

I'm not really a cool Mom. I just find great ideas online!

My idea wasn't glowsticks between the toes. That was all James!

 

The original idea was to cut the glowsticks and put the nontoxic liquid in the bathwater. I just felt really uncomfortable with that. I did just introduce the glowsticks to bathtime and it was a big hit!

Santa Baby!

I haven't posted a bath pic for a while. Jim actually took this picture. I guess we're getting ready for Christmas already!

Christmas isn't over!

Grandpa Frank and Grandma Julie sent a nice Christmas card and money.  I took James to Target and he helped me spend the money all on him (:  He would have gladly spent the money all on toys but his responsible parent found some fun but practical items for him.  He was very helpful in picking the accessories to redecorate his bathroom.

The ocean theme compliments his new pirate bath toys too!




I'm replacing the sand picture with a picture of himself in his pirate Halloween costume.







We also found a great Pirate Lego set.  One thrilled little boy!  (Video to come soon.  We keep talking about making one to show Grandpa :)

Oh and a new Lego Ninjago shirt & a Star Wars swimsuit.  James has lessons starting tomorrow!

See?  Christmas wasn't over!

Bath Fun

The bath just became so much more fun.  James begs for more time in the bath, which is a nice change.

He loves these bath toys so much that today he played with them outside of the tub, on the living room carpet!

I had to avoid the nude pics... 



Thank you Grandma Rose!

Happy Birthday Uncle Joe!

April 1st. Happy Birthday to Uncle Joe! I'm not sure when this picture was taken- Jim sent it to me from his iPhone. I think it's funny! Bath time is definitely going a lot better.



On this day at daycare, Kaitlyn had a freak out because James almost left without a hug. She ran up behind him...



Gave him a hug....



And then shouted "Bye, Boyfriend!!!!!!!!"



I haven't been encouraging the relationship. This little girl is pretty obsessed with my son. It was cute at the beginning but I worry that she is smothering James at daycare. But maybe not. She is pretty aggressive though!

Where did March go?

I'm behind on blogging again. So rather than do many little posts I'm going to just put all of my favorite pictures from the middle of March to the end below. I'll try and comment on each picture so there's some background, but they are just general cuteness.

James "helped" me make a dessert of pudding, crumbled chocolate chip cookies, and assorted toppings (whipped cream, sprinkles).

He was very serious about his sprinkles.

His Daddy enjoyed a pudding too!


I know James is my child when he shows such enthusiasm for good food. Red grapes are the best!

We're back to enjoying bath time. What a relief!


Waiting for his two stories at bedtime.


Just playin'.

"My Mommy is the best cook!" I made James a mini homemade pizza. He took a few bites, but wasn't too impressed.

We love that James is starting to do chores and understand that he has to help around the house. Here Jim is showing James how to fold towels. He loved it!

"I did it all by myself!"

James left a Batman at Grandma Rose's house so one day we received a package with this note. I love that these are the same squiggly faces that I grew up with. My Mom is famous for her little squiggly faces! "You make my heart happy!" is a James saying. Grandma Rose loved hearing that from her little man!

Playing around the house.

One day James started to pick the flowers from my hibiscus tree. In this picture he was very proud to present me with a flower. I loved it too!

Relaxing.

Before bathtime.

I don't remember why but James is crying for his Daddy in this picture. Jim was out of town, and James was asking for him.

Jersey and hat day at daycare. It occurred to me later that it was probably Twins gear but we weren't the only rebels that day. Lots of kids were in Vikings and Wild gear, not just the Twins (that fit the baseball theme of Open House Night.)

Bounce houses are fun!

James is playing "dead" with Ethan and Russell. I dislike that word coming out of his mouth!

Cute!

James told us he was going to "work" in Daddy's office. We found that he folded all of the washcloths. Yay! Huge praise that day :)

One winter day, James and I went to the playground in our snowpants.

I hate snowpants but it was worth it to see this smile!

And this one.

And his pride in climbing to the top of the climbing wall.

And then we met the other James. Another family was at the playground and we found out that the other James was also four years old!

In the car, going back home, James told me, "Mommy, that boy was James too. He was four years old too. And he's a heartbreaker." Haha. I think James has heard others calling HIM a heartbreaker so many times (because of his beautiful eyes), that maybe he just thinks all James' should be heartbreakers!

Funny- on the potty with goggles!

I took a picture of the day's journal entry. Each day the kids practice their letter or number of the day, and their names.

Meow! Cute artwork that I've promised to Tia Kiki.



There is no such thing as taking too many pictures of my adorable son! I hope this blog entry wasn't too overwhelming.
