Been Busy

So the past few weeks things have so busy it seems like.  We had a wonderful Easter weekend, which we kicked off on Friday by taking Bo to the zoo.  He had so much fun and loved seeing the animals.  Every time we’d start walking up to a new animal he’d say “wooowwww” not even knowing what was coming up, but he knew it was something.  He had a great time making all the animal noises when he saw them.  I finally gave in and did the one thing I said I’d never do (okay so I actually have a list of things, but this one was one I never thought I’d do)…I put him on a leash!  Oh what a hypocrite I became…all I’m going to say is NEVER say never and for those of you who don’t have kids yet…well, you just wait ;)!  It was more of a backpack with a rope, regardless it was something to hang on to him with.  I’m so glad we did it, the zoo was packed the day we went…lots of field trips!  This way he was able to walk around and really see.  It lasted up to the very end of the visit, when he decided to throw a tantrum, fell on the ground kicking and screaming and broke the strap!  I literally had a man walk up, pull out his zoo map and say “Now what animal is this?”  Like most two year olds there just isn’t a lot you can do when they became completely irrational, so I just stood there and told him to let me know when he was done.  Oh the joys of having a two year old. 

Saturday before Easter we took Bo to an Easter Egg hunt at our neighbors church.  He had a blast hunting for eggs, but like before he knew there was candy in them so it was more of find the egg, look at the treat, and throw the egg away.  After that we came home and dyed Easter eggs which was also a lot of fun.  He had more fun throwing (literally) the eggs into the colored cups and watching it splash.  Once we were done he looked a lot like the Incredible Hulk.  Easter morning we woke up, went to the early service at church and came home to eat Easter dinner that I had made.  Later that night we went to my Aunt Amy’s house and had our second Easter dinner of the day!  LOTS of good food!  We had a wonderful weekend and loved spending all of it with daddy!

 

Easter Party

Yesterday Bo’s class had their Easter party.  It was so much fun getting to meet some other moms and watch Bo in his class.  At first they stuck to their regular routine so we could see some of the things they do.  They had circle time where Ms. Lynette went over the color green, the number 2, circles, and the letter B.  They then read two quick books and sang songs.  Afterwards we helped them with their crafts and had snack time.  After that we headed outside for an Easter egg hunt.  Ten 2 yr olds running wild, not even knowing what they were supposed to be doing was hysterical!  Bo finally caught on once he realized there were treats in the eggs.  He then would open them, take the treat, and toss the egg!  And of course as we were trying to get a class picture Bo decided it would be fun to run clear across the church campus.  His teacher then said… “that is definitely our all boy, boy…he’ll grow up to be a construction worker, linebacker, something manly” she knows him well!  He was more interested in playing in the dirt and with the sticks than he was looking for eggs!  It was a great time and to be honest I was a little surprised at how well behaved he was…following instructions, waiting…should I dare say it…patiently, and doing as he was told!  You’ve just gotta love the little guy!

 

Happy 100th Birthday!

Happy 100th Birthday Southern Miss!! 

 

Oh how I absolutely love my alma mater!!  Thank you Southern Miss for lifelong friends, XO sorority sisters, a great education, and the most amazing college memories anyone could ever ask for!

Pop & Bebe came to visit!

So this is looong overdue, my parents were here about two weeks ago, but since they left I have been taking care of a bump on the head, more on that in a minute.  Then our entire family was hit with a horrible stomach bug…first Bo then mommy.  Daddy was able to dodge the worst part of it.  Bo and I were both sick about 5-7 days with this crazy bug, one of the worst and most bizarre bugs I’ve ever had.

 

Anyway, we are finally getting back to normal and in our routine so I wanted to update with some pictures from my parent’s visit.  It was a wonderful visit, and we loved having them here.  We didn’t do much that was too exciting (until their last day).  We pretty much just stayed around the house and let Bo be spoiled completely by Pop and Bebe.  They were planning to leave Wednesday morning and Tuesday afternoon around 4:30 Bo decided to throw a little fun into the picture.  He was running through the house and fell.  We heard him start crying so mom ran in and picked him up, none of us had been in the room when it happened.  When I went to look at him I noticed a HUGE black and blue knot forming.  So I called the pediatrician, who of course had just finished seeing patients for the day, but wanted him to be seen since we weren’t exactly sure what he had fallen on. So we packed up and headed to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the afterhours/ER for kids.  After waiting for a full two hours we finally saw the doctor who examined him, did things like “where’s the cat, dog, cow, etc” since she couldn’t exactly talk to a 2 yr old like you would an adult.  Then she wanted to do xrays to make sure there wasn’t a skull fracture.  That was the hardest part on mommy and daddy…we had to stand there holding him down while he was screaming and crying.  After the xrays the nurse brought him a popsicle and life was good again!  There wasn’t a fracture, we just had to keep a close eye on him for the first 24 hrs, waking him at night, etc…  I’m sure this will be the first of many trips for bumps, bruises, etc…  And of course you know I had my camera so YES I did pull it out in the exam room while we were waiting.  They were playing Madagascar, Bo’s new favorite movie, so he and daddy watched while we waited.  It was hard to get a picture of the knot, but it was about the size of a golf ball when it was all said and done.

Thanks you Pop and Bebe for coming to visit, we miss you so much!
