Ooey Gooey Icky Sticky Fun !

While the big 'uns were at piano and violin lessons today I took Flutter Nutter to the library program. We have not done much with the public library summer activities this year. But today, it was on my calendar and I decided to pay attention and make an effort. So glad I did! He had soo much fun. They had stations set up inside and outside. An hour of exploring textures and colors!



Daddy's Buddy could have gone, but he did not want to do his piano lesson last. He so wants to be associated with the older ones. So Flutter Nutter and I had some You & Me time!! We had a blast.

Reminded me of what it was like when there was just me and the Fun Mom. I could have gone and gone all day. Alas, we did have to pick up the others. We did a bit of garage sale-ing.

Then home to a wonderful lunch prepared by dear sweet hubby, who took advantage of the quiet time at home and mowed the yard, did a bit of work on the basement. It is soo hard to get anything done when any or all the kids are home. So it is like a treat to be left alone to get a project done.

Flutter Nutter Quoteables !

"Mommy do you want strawberries with yor whip cream? "

Hmmm, never thought of it in reverse. They just brought me a bowl and yep, strawberries are on top ! LOL


He doesn't have enough whip cream !! He tries to pouty lip to get more.... Not a chance!



So he is sitting next to me as I post, "Mommy that me! And I don't have too much !"
"Abby didn't put me in charge." "It is real good!"

Today's favorite Quoteable

The Fun Mom orchestrated a friend get together today. She and friend managed to slip out the back to go ride scooters around the lake. But first she had to distract Flutter Nutter who adores all of her friends, cause, well he is cute afterall.

So she raced him downstairs to play Wii.
He beat her, she darted back upstairs and the girls escaped.

Not to be fooled for long, he was dashing up the stairs as fast as his little legs could go. Where is she??? I want her???? I gonna go out this door....the sliding glass door. The only one he knows how to work the lock. "Oh, no you aren't!"
"The girls want girl time."
"Go downstairs and have boy time."

"I DON'T WANT BOY TIME, I WANT GIRL TIME! I WANT GIRL TIME! I WANT GIRL TIME!"
hmmm, I wish I could have recorded this for later. I am sure there will be a time, he won't be wanting girl time. hee hee


SuMmEr SaTuRdAy MoRnInGs ! * ! * !

I have not had much on the calendar this summer to do. My to-do list was to let the kids get bored. Know what? That hasn't happened yet. Since our school years keep us going and going, it is nice to go to the bare minimum. Don't get me wrong, my calendar fills up. Doctor appointments, drop kiddo off activities, things I want to do for a change. But it is nice and relaxing. This morning, I overheard Daddy's Buddy say, "Come on, we got a ball game!" I just about hit the floor cause I wanted to laugh so hard. Dad of course had to get a hat to protect his delicate head of no hair. As I sit there, watching the two of them, Daddy's Buddy impatiently says, "That will work, come on." Referring to the first hat in Dad's hand. Cause of course Dad has to get just the right hat and Daddy's Buddy just wanted to "get a move on it!" So finally the two have their hats and little Flutter Nutter grabs one and they head on out to the garage to get the gear.
Well I am so tickled by all I have heard, I grab the camera and head on outside to just see what I might capture.
Hockey Player is his very cool self, as usual. He does try to help little brother find a different ball. However, little brother knows it all and resists any efforts to change his mind. Because of course, he does know it all in his own little world. Mr. Cool Hockey Player, continues on and gets what he needs and heads out to toss the ball with Dad, cause he knows while the little guys are busy chasing balls, he will get down to business with Dad.
If you will note, Flutter Nutter is only "half dressed", he likes jammies and this day he compromised and put regular shorts on with his pj top. Daddy's Buddy is suited up to do battle if need be, he has his light saber on his side as well as the bat. You don't want to have a disagreement with this ball player, he has the force with him !
Enjoy ~
