Best compliment I ever got!

Delicious!

Stratton picked the menu, Spaghetti with meatballs and corn on the cob. About halfway though he looked and me and with a huge smile and the most animated voice said “Mommy, this is BA-LICIOUS!”. I said “Thank you, I fixed it just for you!” He smiled and said “THANK YOU!”. Then he must have seen how much this tickled me, because he did it about 5 more times. Then I decided to get my camera and of course he’s not as animated on camera! I guess this boy likes meatballs, because we had leftovers last night and he ate 6 of them!! I fixed him 2 initially and he asked for more twice!! He also loves corn on the cob! It sure is a mess, but at least he eats it and it’s not french fries or mac and cheese!

Water Boy

Saturday afternoon it was so nice Stratton and I played outside for a little while before his nap. Jarrod had the water house out in the yard from where he had watered the tree and Stratton found it and started playing with it. There was still a little water left in the hose that squirted out and he thought that was just so neat to water the yard! Well, I thought to myself. . .the yard and flowerbeds could use a drink (you can see in the pics how dry and brown our yard is!), so why not let him play with the water hose?? After spraying himself a few times and completely soaking himself, I asked him if he wanted to put his swim trunks on and of course he did! He had so much fun and my shrubs and plants all got watered! He also washed his lawn mower- just like Daddy does he said- and he watered all the ant hills (he’d get down and stick the nozzle in the hole and flush the ants out! Poor ants!). He also said “mommy, water me!!”. He quite enjoyed getting soaked! He tried to get me a few times but I threatened to take the hose away if he got me wet! After about 10 minutes in the sun he told me he needed his sunglasses, it was too bright!
