Thanksgiving week and what we have been doing

I’m back!!!  I know it has only been two days, but we have been very productive.  Plus, I have taken a lot of pictures and thought you might like to see the little man during Thanksgiving week. 

Monday

We got up and before 9:00 I was on my third load of laundry. Then we went outside to pull up the 72 flowers Trey and I planted last spring so I can put down some pansies. I asked Trey to get the wheel barrow down (it hangs on the wall) and he forgot. It was quite a challenge (and it’s a good thing I have been working out) but I got it down. My trusty side kick didn’t let me use it to put flowers in. Rather he decided to hitch a ride.

Then we napped and went to the church to take pictures under the Ginkgo tree.  Ford was not in a great mood so the pictures aren’t that good. 

If you will remember we took pictures here last year as well. FLASHBACK……….

Ohhh he was such a squatty little man!!!

Then we changed and went to Puddin and Pops house….

Then back home to play on the railroad tracks

It was time to get out of the fancy clothes and get comfy and eat a popsicle. 

 Tuesday

We went to play with Gran today and before we left she suggested we stop by the park to feed the geese.  Ford had gone to feed the geese before and I hadn’t so it was a real treat.  They sure aren’t scared of humans…however, Ford was scared of them.

When we got back in town we went to vote.  And would you know that when we walked out of the building a fire truck was pulling up, which happens to be high on Ford’s list.  Lucky for him one of Trey’s best friends is a fireman and happened to be on that truck.  So you know who got to give it a test drive. 

When we finally got home Ford needed some juice and a little Baby Einstein tractor show.  We watch it daily, sometimes as many as three times per day! 

And we ended our day sitting in the frig. 

145 blog posts and they say I am out of room

 This past week was very busy for us, but what week isn’t??!!

One night last week Ford crawled up on the couch with a fist full of pacie’s (pacifiers) and started reading himself a book.

My little man fast asleep in his sack.

I leave for work every morning about 6:45. At this time Ford has usually had his milk and I am trying to convince Trey that it is time for him to get out of bed because I have to leave. Now he will try to lie and say that he is up by this hour, but ohhh no!!! He is still in bed at 6:45 when I get up at 5:00 (Trey that is). Therefore, Trey is left to feed Ford his breakfast, dress him, all the while getting himself ready.


If you remember correctly from this summer Trey moved out of my bathroom and into the guest bathroom. Things have worked out beautifully since then too, might I add. Well, the other morning it was rather chilly so I turned the heater on in my bathroom and told Trey that he was welcome to shower in there. Apparently he took me up on my offer and Ford had a nice time unloading my toiletries.  I guess Trey thought it would be kind to leave Ford’s masterpiece for me to see. 

 Bobba's for Thanksgiving

Holidays are always fun but it can be a bit tricky trying to balance seeing all of your family and managing to stay sane all the while.  Fortunately, Trey’s grandmother, better known at Bobba, has her Thanksgiving early.  Here is Ford enjoying himself on Saturday. 

We left Bobba’s house and headed to a birthday party.  Ford enjoyed sitting in this little swing.

And driving the police car

Then back to the swing

Puddin and Pops kept Ford last night so Trey and I could go to a post wedding party for some friends.  This morning after we picked he really needed a donut. 

He is ALL boy.  Trains, tractors, and “ballgame hats” are some of his favorite things.  He found Uncle Vance’s football helmet last night and started saying “ballgame hat” to Puddin.  Puddin also taught Ford how to blow his nose which I am extremely grateful for!!!

Changing the subject. So, apparently, you can run out of space on this little blogger website… which is something NO ONE warned me about. Right in the middle of me trying to upload pictures it popped up and said I had run out of room and needed to purchase more picture space. No fear, my faithful readers, I purchased some so I can continue to entertain everyone with the exciting life the Lamars lead.

This is my Thanksgiving break. I get the entire week off! Trey is excited because he won’t have to manage himself and Ford in the mornings and I may actually cook for the first time in weeks. And I am excited to get away from my 24 darlings….

(Please notice the boy on the front row.  He looks like he is praying.  He might be asking for a new teacher after the Thanksgiving break!!!)

And I actually might get some stuff done. I have a large list (in my head) of things to do. What you ask? Pull up the 72 flowers Trey and I planted this spring and put down some pansies, wrap some Christmas presents, clean out a closet, possibly see the bottom of my laundry basket etc. Just a few simple things you know!!! I plan to have a cute post sometime soon this week so stay tuned.
