He never sits still...

I caught Bo watching Barney the other day in this position. He is so crazy all the time running around, he can't even sit down to watch TV. This boy has more energy than I've ever seen!!! He almost made it through the dog door the other night. Brent was on the back porch grilling steaks and Bo tried to follow him. I looked up and saw only his legs sticking out...I think he would have made it through if I'd given him about 30 more seconds.

Hunt Elem Sock Hop!

Last night we went to our first Hunt Elementary Sock Hop. It was really fun getting Darla all dressed in her poodle skirt outfit. She wanted me & Brent to wear full-blown 50s costumes, but we decided as Kindergarten parents, we'd go to our first Sock Hop & see how elaborate the parents got before we went too far! It was really fun - Darla had so much fun out on the dance floor.

Poop on the floor

Sorry I don't have a picture to go with this...you'll just have to use your imagination. Last night I was filling up the bathtub while Brent was getting Bo undressed. Bo was walking around in his room naked and peed on the floor. Not too shocking as that's happened before. But then, I hear Brent say "uh-oh, he's pooping" and I walk in the room just in time to see two pieces hit the floor. I grabbed Bo and tried to get a diaper or blanket under him while Brent moved in for clean up duty. We were both cracking up. If he had waited 30 seconds more, he would've gone in the bathtub with Darla and that would definitely have been worse!

Little Climber/First Audition

We had to lower the mattress in Bo's bed this week - I think these pictures explain why! I don't want him to make the same mistake Darla did of climbing out of the crib. ... And I just realized that I never posted a picture of Darla's missing tooth...

Darla had her first audition today. She's always said she wants to be an actor, so I thought I'd let her experience an audition. Radio Disney had open auditions for kids 18 & under to be on the radio. We got up early this morning and drove out to the Cinemark Theater and then Darla wouldn't get out of the car. She said she was too scared and didn't want to do it. I tried & tried to get her to go in...I even promised a trip to Gatti Town, but she wouldn't budge. I certainly didn't want to look like the crazy stage mom dragging my crying 5 yr old into an audition, so we came home and got donut holes! I hope she thanks me in her first Oscar speech for trying...

Bo is 15 months old today!

Look at my big boy!!

Inauguration Day

Today, the 44th president of the United States took the oath of office...Barack Obama, the first African American president. All day today Bo & I were home watching the historic event. Millions of people flooded into Washington DC to see it. Just watching the inauguration, you could feel that you were witnessing one of the most important days in U.S. history. I'll always remember where I was - at home with Bo folding clothes!!!

OMG!

Since yesterday was a school holiday, Darla and I took Bo to the babysitter's and went to ride, had lunch and shopped at our very favorite store, Hobby Lobby. While we were walking around, Darla saw something that she thought was cute and simply said "OMG Mom, OMG." I asked her what that meant and she said "Oh my gosh" and looked at me like I was crazy for not knowing. I knew what that was in the texting world, but just wasn't ready for my 5 year old use it in conversation.
OMG!
