Fun Weekend With Gigi

Gigi was in town this weekend.

Cub really enjoyed all of his snuggle Gigi time.

He also enjoyed driving lessons.

And this monkey balloon Gigi bought for him at the store this morning - monkey hugs.

White trash outfit also provided by Gigi. 

Filanthropy Friday

The London Olympics start today. 

I love the Olympics.  Buttin does not.  He describes the winter Olympics as the "lesser version of something I already don't like."

Oh well, Buttin should get ready for lots of Olympic watching fun (or at least till 8:00 PM, when I fall asleep).

I think the Olympics has enough money, so I'm giving $20 to the Special Olympics.

Athletics should be part of any willing child's life no matter their abilities. 

New Games

Cub has a couple new games he likes to play.

One new game is called "run fast".   He likes to play it in the sun and heat of the afternoon.  I'm not a fan of this game because I'm pregnant and usually carrying his bike and my feet tingle.  He loves it. 

Another new game is called "pieces".  He eats Goldfish crackers in our bed every night before going to his bed.  He now likes to smash each Goldfish in his hand (making "pieces") before he eats it.  The problem is the pieces don't all make it in his mouth and so Buttin and I feel like we're sleeping in sand.

Here is a cute picture of Cub spending about 20 seconds in the shade before running all afternoon.

Wordless Wednesday

It's Chicken!

Today Buttin and I went for Chicken's anatomy ultrasound.  It nice to see Chicken looking like a baby (instead of like a smushed gummy bear, like last time).

Chicken is looking perfect.  The ultrasound technician knew we did not want to know Chicken's sex, so she was very sneaky when looking at Chicken's legs.  Buttin apparently has a theory because he saw her type an abbreviation; however, he's not really sure so it could have been an abbreviation for anything.

Here is Cub covered in dirt.

 

Misfit Monday

The most difficult thing for me as a small business owner is trying to not take things too personally.  This is nearly impossible for me. Customer issues, misfit issues, supplier issues - I take them all personally. 

I don't want to dwell on craptasticness, so we'll just look at this cute picture of Cub and misfit Patty aka "aunt Patty" looking at some complicated work on the computer. 

Movie Weekend

It was a great weekend for movies.

The Dark Knight Rises

Super, awesome and satisfying - I loved this movie.  

 

Beasts of the Southern Wild

It's impossible to describe this movie - I'll only say that I got completely swept up in the story and sobbed like crazy for about the last 30 minutes (Buttin cried too).

 

 Here is Cashman today modeling my sunglasses and Buttin's glasses.
