Bowling and Brushing!

Can you believe it's the end of January already? I just flipped up the calendar so we'd be ready for tomorrow and it boggles my mind. Where did the first month of 2011 go?

Setting up the bowling pins

Knocking down the bowling pins

Kayla got in on the action, too!

Noah helped me vacuum

Brushing his teeth!

Fun at the Park!

What a beautiful January day in Florida! Low to mid 70's with lots of sun! We decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take the kiddos to the park and let them run around after lunch today. I'm not sure who had the most fun - the kids or Grant and me. I think it's supposed to stay nice for the next couple of days so you better believe the kiddos and I will be taking advantage of the gorgeous sunshine! Until tomorrow...

Noah playing the drums

My boys!

Look, it's a bean in a swing

She thought it was funny to 'kick' Mommy

Cutest little girl in the whole wide world!

Me and my teenie

We walked all over the park so we could find Noah and go down the slide

One! Two! Three! GO!

She thought it was great

Again!

Daddy's turn

Too cute for words

Noah and I climbed the rock wall!

Weekend Fun

Noah made me a crown - I am now Queen Mommy :)

Back from taking Charlie out

Mikayla had a chocolate chip cookie while she was out in Charlie - think she enjoyed it ;-)

Doesn't he look so big?

Bath Time Fun!

Check out bath time fun at the Gatchel house on Friday night!

The Meanest Mommy in the World

So today Noah told me that I'm the meanest mommy in the whole world. Wow, did that hurt more than I ever thought something could coming out of the mouth of a two year old! I know he really didn't mean it and that he does love me, but dang! This mean mommy got her bootie out of bed early this morning just so she could finish everything around the house, take care of you and work for a couple of hours before taking you to the zoo and then the park, kiddo! Sad that I want to be appreciated by a toddler! After the zoo we did attempt the park for lunch and then playtime, but this mean mommy said he had to eat his lunch before he played and he decided he wasn't eating so we left without playtime. Hence the mean mommy comment. He's still mad at me currently and he also told me he doesn't love me anymore and that he'd rather have Miesje as his Mommy. I'm hoping he forgets about it by morning ;-) Daddy read him the riot act when he got home but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. We're all hoping tomorrow will bring back our sweet, wonderful Noah. Thank goodness it's a long Harris weekend if it doesn't ;-) More tomorrow...
