New storage space

Gavin is obsessed with 2 things these days... cars and balls! Well lucky for him (and all of us) he has pockets! He loves to put things in this sweatshirt pockets all the time... and is pretty proud of himself when he does! But recently he has discovered he can use the bottom fold of his jeans as pockets! He is so funny! He puts those balls in and walks around the house so carefully not to let one fall out. It cracks me up! The things they come up with!

Soda anyone?

While cooking dinner last night I had noticed it had become oddly quiet... and for once Gavin wasn't at my feet begging "up" to see what I was cooking. So I quickly made the turn around the corner from the kitchen and here is what I found...

Oh yes... Devin had stocked up on soda this week and apparently decided to store it on a shelf in the hall closet. Gavin stayed busy taking each one down and arranging and rearranging those bottles for the rest of the time I cooked... I wish that could work every night to keep him busy!

STRAWBERRIES

Something weird has happened. Anyone who knows me well knows this little known fact about me... I hate strawberries. I have NEVER liked them. In fact, as a child we had a patch of strawberries that grew in our back yard and I would love to go out and pick them... for everyone else in my family to eat. Now, I like strawberry jam... and of course I eat strawberry candy... but there is something about the actually strawberry I NEVER have liked. So over the years I have continued to try to force myself like them but with no success. Well, this last week I was at the store and saw them on sale and thought "Just because I don't like them doesn't mean Gavin shouldn't have them." So I bought the smallest pack. As I cut them up for him the next morning for breakfast I thought I should try one small piece... just to show Gavin how good they were... and you know what... I actually enjoyed it! I found myself eating more of them.. and then I picked up the huge Costco size pack this weekend. EVERY morning I now enjoy vanilla yogurt, strawberries and granola. (I sometimes eat this for dessert now.. can I call this dessert?)

So, yes... I'm sure I've now officially shocked my family with this breaking news! But doesn't this look good? :)

Fun Faces

Gavin wanted to play with the camara the other night... so this is how I got him to "let me do it". Here are the faces we made..

"SMILE" (this is the best I could get out of him)

"Stick your tounge out" (he thought this one was pretty funny)

"KISSES" (he decided he should blow his... so this is for you grandma and grandpa)

*Please don't focus on me as I had already gotten ready for bed... thank you :)

A day in the life of Gavin

So I noticed when I uploaded my pictures tonight that a took a few more pics on Friday than I had realized... (must had actually had my camera out in accessible areas).. but I thought it would be fun to post a few of them so you can see what a day in the life of Gavin is like :) Enjoy!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Well it wouldn't be St. Patricks day in my house if your eggs and pancakes aren't green!

Gavin wasn't sure if he wanted to eat it... he threw the scrambled eggs on the floor!

Of course I can find any excuse to have a few girlfriends over to decorate sugar cookies... they turned out pretty yummy! And I think our husbands will be pretty happy to come home to them tonight!

Gavins favorite part I think was the icing :)

I love holidays! (Even if we aren't Irish)

Cutting hair

This is how I cut Gavins hair every other sunday morning... in a basket, tv on, with a dum dum sucker in his mouth. Works everytime! How do you cut your childs hair?
