Summer updates

The last bit of August

I lost our camera charger. I realized I lost It about 5 minutes before we left on our vacation to Priest Lake. Hence no pictures of our beautiful vacation. (unless you check facebook we uploaded some with M.G's phone during the trip).

Owen is a big fan of "swimming" which includes people holding him in the water but not in the water for more than a few seconds, throwing golf balls and "peedohs" (torpedoes) into the water for others to fetch. At one point I actually knew what it was like to be a dog and like it... the smile on his face when I would bring back one of the balls was so rewarding. And riding on buoys
(floating air mattresses and the like).

Apparently there has been a monster (a chocolate one no less) living in his hair and that is why he doesn't want me to trim it. I'm not sure if they are friends or if he just fears retribution. He did not elaborate.

Diet coke is my cocaine I can NOT have just one it NEVER ends there. ( I am having withdrawals right now and am staring at water bottle with disgust)

Listening to music in the car on a 9 hour road trip becomes less relaxing when your husband decides to start a new "rating system" and you only end up hearing 30 seconds of each song and then quibbling over where it belongs in said "system". We only made it to letter m before the i-phone ran out of battery. Not sure we would of lasted much longer anyway.

Owen likes to sing Jesus loves me "hi no" for "biyal" tells "ya ya ya ya" ( which is how he sings La la la).

Owen no longer only asks why about everything he sees. Now he asks what it is, what it does, and why does it do that? Super fun ( most of the time).

He doesn't call his blankies his "dits" anymore they are just his blankies now. ( sometimes I still call them his dits)

If anyone yawns Owen asks if they are "real tiyed".

If I cry he asks if I am having a hard time.... then says you all right mommy? and puts his face right in mine and blinks his bright blues eyes and inspects me until I smile. which I always do quite quickly because he is so sweet and wonderful. ( and stinken cute!!)

Life is back to the slow and steady grind. Michael working and Owen and me getting ourselves back into some sort of a routine. I am really excited for Fall. I think the season change will do me good.
