Brotherly Love

This is at a nice little park near our house. Landon is big enough that he's a pretty good playmate for Gary. This particular day, we were at Garrett Felicetty's 6th B-Day party, but Gary was good to include Landon as well.

Love Struck

Gary has several "special" female friends. One in particular takes the cake though. A little bird told me that they would "make eyes" in class regularly last year. He was lucky enough to be in Maddie's class again this year. This week, he declared that he would like his peanut butter sandwiches made on wheat bread and cut out in seasonal shapes (pumpkins for Halloween, etc.) with no crust on them. Hey, if he'll eat something semi-healthy, I'd stand on my head to serve him! I made his sandwiches yesterday and sent them in his lunch box. They were small (apparently Maddie said I didn't get the right cutters) and I threw away more than I sent, but he LOVED THEM! I picked him up from school and he asked for three more wheat bread peanut butter sandwiches and ate them all! I'm thinking about sending a note to Maddie's mom to find out just what else she'll eat! If you run across any sandwich sized cookie cutters, please let me know where you found them. Today, and every Tuesday, he (and Maddie) left the lunchboxes at home. It's popcorn chicken day at Platt. Tomorrow, he'll have witch/pumpkin/bat/owl shaped peanut butter sandwiches again.

How 'bout them Bucs?

If you've noticed the Bucs scores on the right side of my page, you're probably thinking, "I'm missing some great games. Those kids are GOOD this year!" Gary only has a few games left. Call me if you want a schedule. Also, the HHS Homecoming Parade is Oct. 25 at 5 p.m. His team will participate in that as well.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!!

Last night, Landon asked TWICE, "I teetee potty?" and did it with success! Of course, there was a lenghthy farewell to every little drip and nugget...."Bye Bye Tee Tee....Bye Bye Poo Poo...." along with a wave and a flush. He is a sweetie like that, you know! We're not pushing big boy underwear just yet, but we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Did I mention we were at Randy's brother's 21st birthday party? I can't think of a better present than knowing that your nephew asked to potty for the first time on your birthday, twice! hehehe

Career Adventures

I should really make this an ongoing list because he never changes his mind, but merely adds to his professions.... As of this morning, Gary's, "going to be a children's book illustrator and in a rock band and a professional football player and own (but not play on) two baseball teams, one called 'The Rednecks' and one called 'Bad to the Bone,' when I grow up!" That should keep him pretty busy! Hopefully he'll remember us little people who gave him his start :-) Any ideas from your kiddos? OR YOU? I want to be an elementary school librarian when I grow up....

Left without even a penny

Landon had his X-Ray done today for the penny we never did locate in his diaper. The good news is, we missed it upon exit! The doctor didn't see anything in his tummy except his breakfast :) The bad news is, he has come to that age where he associates the doctor's office as a "not fun" place. Today, my mom bore the burden of the screaming child on the exam table. Thanks, Mom, for taking him!
