Nice Day

Other people have been taking pictures with my camera. Yay! So I'm not actually sure who took some of these. :)

Miscellaneous........

I thought I'd post some pictures of Aidan for Cary. :-) As you can see, Aidan was getting tired

So dad played some songs on the piano for him before he went to bed.

They finally found someone to work on Teresa's house and they started on the stucco until the weather got bad

They had Fat Alice over there by the house, (okay, okay, it's really the Fiat Allis) so Kenneth took Aidan up to check out the levers.

I'm not really sure what that face is about. :)

Just So You Know

Well, Aidan and I abandoned Cary yesterday. Sharon and Kenneth made a nice 4 hour detour to come pick us up and we're staying with my family for the week. Cary will join us on Friday when we get together with everyone to celebrate the Passover Seder and Passover weekend activities. This means that there will probably be no posts over on my cooking blog for quite sometime as I'm hoping that other people will be cooking for me. ::wink, wink::
I'll leave you with these lovely pictures though.

Random Musings

Yesterday was Cary's birthday so we went to eat at Mimi's where we knew Abby would be working and we could bug her. We were discussing how Cary is an old man now and it got me remembering that I missed our "getting engaged anniversary." That should have had a post all of it's own! :) Ha ha.
We got engaged 3 years ago, March 17, 2006 and this picture was taken that day. (Actually, we officially were engaged March 12, but we didn't tell people until the 17th) ;)
These were taken a little later

It really wasn't THAT long ago, but I guess since so much has happened since then that it feels like a lifetime ago.

Ok, another random story. Today is not one of my better "I look like I actually got dressed and put make up on, etc...." days, but tonight we ran to the mall to do something with Cary's ipod. One of the ladies at the kiosks assaults me and wants to see my nails, yada, yada,....tells me that she can make them look so good that I'll want to hug and kiss her. Seriously lady? I'm wearing jeans, sneakers, and my husbands sweater because it's the only thing that covers my belly in the cold lately, do I look like I CARE if my fingernails look great or not. I don't care on a normal day and I REALLY don't care today. After seeing the disaster that my fingernails are I think she was even more disappointed that I didn't want to stay and let her work on them. Hee. hee.

My Little Musician

and some other random photos from the weekend.
Look at those hands going

Kenneth playing with Cary's new toy

I'm pretty sure that Shawn took this picture. LOL.

and this one

Aidan likes this spot in the house, he waits until no one is watching and tries to steal the cats food. Ewww.

Not only does he like the piano, he likes the guitar too.

He even knows that dad can't play the guitar as good as uncle Chad

Kenneth and Sharon babysat for us while we were in a meeting Sunday morning

Looks like Aidan sure missed us

His typical pose lately when he sees the camera. Give me that!

Playing

We were visiting family this weekend. Aidan always likes that since there are more people around to do his bidding.
Doesn't Cary look like he's having fun going down the slide?

After he wore dad out on the slide, he got Tara to take him down.

Then Cary and Tara played a game of tetherball

Aidan was watching front and center

and then wanted to play too

Aidan got Kenneth to play with him

but hitting that independent phase, pretty soon he wanted to do everything himself.

We got to enjoy a couple of hours of warmer weather before the wind picked up. Unfortunately it snowed a couple more inches here this morning. :-P

Got lucky

So Aidan and I were running around town the other day doing some errands and what not
We passed the DI so I decided to stop and look there to see if they happened to have a bundt cake pan. Aidan spotted this toy and it was all over.

It was dirty and disgusting but he didn't really care, he just wanted to play with it. It was only $2 so I said why not, nothing a little bleach and glue won't fix. :-)

Aidan still loves it and it's growing on me too. You don't see toys these days that are wood and metal anymore.

Now I kinda want to decorate his room around this toy, hee hee.

I did find me a nice bundt cake pan too (for $2) so now I need to get busy baking. There are some recipes I'm excited to try.
