 Well, another month has come and gone and here is the evidence of the passing time...

 1- Apparently the particular scene in Hercules was mesmorizing.  He had that same look on his face for almost 15 minutes all the while tickling his own belly with his blanket.  He cracks me up.

2- Grady has begun sound effects.  They say boys are born automatically equipped with car and gun noises and Grady fits the standard.  His Vroom sound is the best!  He gets irrate if it's not acknowledged.
3- My laundry helpers.  Axel loves hanging the shirts He will ask, "little one or big one?"  It's a great deal...he loves thte job and I love the company.  If you didn't notice the hangers double as a bow and arrow.  The result is many a broken hanger.
4-Grady Mack Hubbard.  I found the overalls that say, "Built Like a Mack".  Could that be any more perfect.  It's true too cause Grady is one tough cookie.
5-I babysit a boy named Colby and he happened to get a bloody nose so I made it into a "bloody" good time.  Pardon the pun, it was unavoidable.  Tissue plugs all around.  The boys thought it was awesome.  So did I, plus Colby didn't feel so weird...Bonus!
6-What can I say..I am a list person.  I get great satisfaction from checking things off.  The kids seem to enjoy that too.  Plus it made clean up a breeze since it was on the list!
7-Pet Peeve: stepping on cooked Ramen noodles all day.  A pet peeve I didn't really know I had until today.  Just when you think you have sweeped them all up...
8-My recent project of writing and laminating all my recipes with a picture. I'm a visual person and it helps me decide the menu.  Aren't they beautiful?  I love them.

9- Axel dresses himself if you can't tell.  The backwards hat is a new development to his recent ensambles, but the 18 month size belly shirt is not.  He loves that thing because it is a monkey riding a motorcycle with flames..What's not to love?  The shorts and cowboy boots combo is also a regular with him, and definitely not worth picking a fight over.  Wolverine wears boots so he does it to be like his newest hero..Wolverine. Still I think overall he pulls off the look quite well.

10- Look at that face.  You just try to keep that monkey off the big side of the jungle gym.  He is unstoppable.

11- Kisses from the mother figure.  His face is just munchable..like I said before..look at that face!

12- Funny faces, no shirt, captain America pajama bottoms = a great end to a great day.

Axel got a certificate for his first half year of preschool.  They had a big bash to celebrate the end of school.

They put on a performance where they turned into butterflies.  He did great!

Girls still have cooties I guess.

This was one of the pictures of Axel from preschool.  Looks like fun.  This picture cracks me up big time!  (see what I mean about the monkey motorcycle shirt)

And this is how I usually spend my day.

 

And this.

And the boy is finally home.  Watch out ladies he is single and he plays a mean guitar!!

Just like old times  It almost felt like he never left!  We are glad you are home little bro!

Well almost all girls have cooties...but not Lillya.  She is the lucky one that Axel was kissing all during Primary a couple of months ago.  After that we made sure to have the talk with him...the talk meaning giving only high fives and hugs to girls until he is married!  We will see how well it works.

His PJ's say "Chicks dig Scars" and boy does he have a scar that the chicks will dig.
