Brainwashed by Brooksie

Henry has picked up on Brooksie's love for LSU football. He screams "LSU!!!" whenever he sees football on TV, in the paper, etc. He was really yelling at this basketball game, but of course he quit when I picked up the camera.

I'm telling him not to touch my feet b/c I ended up with a lovely case of Athlete's Foot from the very humid Half-Marathon that I did. More about that later. A blog cliffhanger!

Cookie Press

I ran across a Cookie Press while shopping at TJMaxx during the holidays, so I decided to give it a try. It came with about 20 different designs, so we have had fun trying them out. It's not 100% every time, but we have a great time b/c it spits them out pretty fast. I got it out this week when I needed a quick "Pick Up the Action at the Playdate" activity (they were getting bored), and it was a hit. I heard the friend say..."Your house is fun, Leo, b/c we get to make cookies." Score!

How the other half lives

Yesterday Leo was invited over to play at a little friend's house down the street. He got there about 4:30 b/c he had a haircut appointment. When he came home at 6:30, I was about to put catfish and roasted vegetables on the table.

Me: Leo, do you want some catfish?
Leo: Yes ma'am! When I was at Sarah's, I was thinking about dinner.
Me: Was her mama cooking something that smelled good?
Leo: Huh?
Me: What was Sarah's mama making for dinner?
Leo: Nothing I guess. She was sitting on the couch with a blanket watching TV.
Me: Leo, have you ever seen me sit on the couch with a blanket and watch TV?
Leo: (long pause) That time when you were sick. (the poison ivy from hell)
Me: Yeah, I guess that's probably the only time you've ever seen me do that.
Todd: They must have a nanny. (they don't)

Hahaha!

Decorating Cookies

The boys are LOVING the new fort. Leo goes out there every day after school to swing and climb a little bit. Henry likes it but requires more supervision.

Last week we had a friend over after school - they decorated cookies and played outside. I made the cookies homemade...you can call me Supermom (for that day, lol).

Pajama Day (Surprise!)

I got an email from Leo's teacher yesterday afternoon that they had earned a "Pajama Day" for today (Wednesday). He had no winter pajamas that could be worn to school, so I had to make an emergency run to Target last night after dinner. Not real excited about that since I was pooped and had been at the mall and also Wal Mart during the day - a little warning would be nice. But, anyway, here he is in all his Target Nick & Nora cuteness!
