Our love is overflowing….  Gotta love Pete’s Dragon.

I can’t believe I’m actually taking a minute away from our other website to write on this website.  Brandon and I have put a lot of our time over the last few days into the website for the daycare Erik attends. Brandon and I are on the board to said daycare so we have been devoting some time to make it right.  I have been ridiculously excited about it, as it looks amazing already.  We have lots more work to do, but…we are awesome at making websites.  Just saying….  The address is: www.preblechildrenscenter.org.  Go look at our amazing work.

Since I have lacked in sharing any pictures as of late, even on FaceBook really, we will post some today.  Yes yes, good idea.

We took Erik to the zoo for the first time recently.  Since we are such wonderful parents, and the very first time he went was when he was four….ahem…..  He really liked it, anyway.  Of course.

I actually have kind of sucked during the month of June at taking pictures.  But during the month of May, I was rocking.

That last one there Erik was trying to jump for a rope that is about 6 feet in the air.  He really believes he is almost able to grab it.

I know I’ve gone on before about Erik playing soccer, and he did again, but it’s done already.  But then again, he starts up again in a couple of weeks, so, eh.  There was a lot of agains in those last sentences.  Ha.  Anyway, he’s gotten much better actually.  Still not quite there, and when they’re scrimmaging he runs away from the ball.  He will learn.

So we live on a lake, right?  Well, Erik doesn’t like the water.  He is refusing to learn how to swim.  It’s quite frustrating, but at the same time we are hesitant to try and make him because we are afraid he will then hate it.  Hopefully soon he will start to like it again.

Drake on the other hand, loves it.  He has really come into his own being the only dog.  He is such a sweet boy, and we pretty much take him everywhere since he is smallish.  He got much bigger than he was supposed to, and he definitely thinks he is a big dog.  He is tennis ball obsessed, loves to swim, and is lately trying to play frisbee.  He is ultra spoiled, but we love him so.

Have a wonderful day everyone.  I’m off to work on the other website (which I should be doing!  sheesh), and…we have 3 places we are supposed to be today.  I should probably…shower…maybe?

We have a blue crayon

Ok I get that Halloween is over.  And I get that it’s so over that Brandon’s birthday already happened, but I say screw procrastination.  We are going straight to forgetting that we had something to post about.  With my sincere apologies, I will now move on to the blue crayon.

So yes, Erik was a blue crayon for Halloween.  We originally had ordered him a cow costume.  Him and Aunt Ashley were going to dress up as cows.  Well, lo and behold, his cow costume was a 3T/4T but still didn’t fit.  It was about 4 inches too short.  After quite a bit of frustration from the company who doesn’t allow returns, we moved on to find a different costume.  I talked it over with Erik and he decided he would like something else since we only found 1 cow costume we liked.

Randomly, Erik said “Mommy, I want to be a blue color.”  He calls crayon’s colors, so I said to him “You want to be a blue crayon?” and he didn’t skip a beat and said, “yes.”  Now I had never see a blue crayon, or any crayon costume before.  I have no idea where Erik got this idea, but alas, this is the end result.

Since the plan was changed from cow to crayon, Aunt Ashley was happy to oblige and became a pink crayon.

Erik was of course very happy and excited to go trick or treating.  He still refuses to speak up, and never said trick or treat and only a couple of times said thank you.  Good thing Aunt Ashley was there to help with the talking, since Erik wasn’t afraid to take the candy.

A good time was had by all even with the cold and snow (hence the iffy pictures – shooting in the dark and in the snow – well there are a lot of things working against you there).  Brandon was even able to get a picture of me that night, and I actually kind of like it.  Must be because you can only see about 4 inches of my face.  Ha.

By y’all.  Have a wonderful, CNY day.  : )
