You might think from the invitation that Braden is only interested in Star Wars. . . .not the case. We just took our ritual wish list photo session at Walmart, and as you can see his wants and interests span many characters. . .and many price ranges! Many of you have asked for ideas, which is what prompted our first photo session, but it seems to work great! My first response is always "Something for outside" since that's where we spend most of our time in the summer.
Frisbee
Water gun
Diving sticks for the pool
Football for the pool
Diving rings for the pool
More diving toys....
This mask and snorkel is actually for a 10 year old, but you get the idea. . .
Wand of bubbles $1
Crazy bubble guy
Mega Water Gun!
He is also back in love with his batter operated Thomas The Train collection. He and Will build tracks over and over and over for these guys to run on!
Extra train track
We also fell in love with the new "How To Train Your Dragon" movie, and he doesn't have any of the new toys from the movie.
Mason patiently eating his sucker as Braden made his selections!
Car pool is over, and now we walk home from school everyday. Recycling Mason: Here's a booger, Momma, put it in recycling.
Frozen Custard Please Last night Braden and I attended the Playground Party hosted by The Center. On our way I promised Braden we could get some "concrete" from Freddy's (local ice cream/burger joint) which is frozen custard. Even though it was 30 minutes past his bedtime when we left the party, he had not forgotten: Braden: Mom, can I have a brick? I mean a sidewalk? Mom:What? Braden: You know, you said after the party..... Mom:(cracking up) Oh, you mean concrete? From Freddy's?
Salad in the Water Last night for dinner I fixed a refreshing pitcher of ice water with mint and lemon balm from our garden. Mason pointed to it from his high chair and declared: Mason: Salad in the water! Dollar Vacation During Braden's Birthday Lunch on the porch I asked River if she was getting excited about their family trip to Branson. River:Oh Yeah! We even get to go to Silver Dollar City! Braden: Oh Yeah, my Mom takes me to Dollar Tree! Obviously Braden has no idea what SDC is or that the Dollar Tree doesn't quite compare, but as long as it's a big deal to him. . . .we will keep going!
The Substitooth When I picked Braden up on Friday, his teacher wasn't there, but he had a substitute. This happened one other time, when Ms. Vacca had a toothache. I asked Braden who is substitute was, and he said "Nothing" Me:Was Ms. Vacca here, today? Braden: No, we had 3 different teachers. Me: Who was that man? Was he your substitute? Braden: No, Ms. Vacca was sick today, so he helped us do our work. Me: I know, Braden, that is called a substitute teacher. Braden: I thought it was a substitooth, like Ms. Vacca had before.
Hey Y'all!
Hello to all! We are going to attempt to provide you with an endless source of pictures, video and stories to ooh and aaah at until your heart is content. As Braden reminds Blake every morning as he leaves for work "don't be boring" we will try not to be boring! We thought life was interesting with Braden, now that we've added Mason to the mix we've learned new levels of parenthood!
