App-ohs

Nate has a newly developed obsession of apples or App-ohs, if you ask him.  We had some out the other day since I making apple crisp.  Mmmm...

The child went nuts over them.  You'd think I'd never tried to get him to eat them before.  I helped him eat one then he was ready for #2.  He was also wearing his cool new Marvel Comics shirt that I scored on clearance at Target for $1.74.
 
  
"What's with all the pictures, Mom?  It's an app-oh for God's sake."
How cute are these boots?  Nate was marching around the house, breaking them in for Blizzard 2010 the next day.

Today's Offering

My sweet boy was raising his arm saying "Peas Mama" to offer me these flowers today.  I love him.

Pockets...

Not just for looks anymore.  It won't be long before I have to empty out rocks and GI Joes before I do laundry.

Bathroom update

I'm loving my new bathroom!  It's a wonder how much just a fresh coat of paint will do! I don't have any "before" pictures but trust me, this is sooo much nicer!  Thanks Mike!
A new coat of paint

A pretty new light fixture and mirror

 
 A storage cabinet

My colorful shower curtain is the only thing that made it back into the bathroom.
 
 These are the things that make me happy.  Well that and having my own personal bathroom back.

Blocks

I've been doing my mom-ly duty by allowing the blocks to come out.  I kinda despise them. Nate likes to build stuff but when he starts, I have to hold the blocks.  And then he puts 4 piece long ones on top of singles.  Then he looks at me and bitches and whines when the thing falls over.  What can I do?  What?  Put them on the floor?  Not unless I want to get an ear full. 

In all seriousness, it's great that he's building and creating.  And it's super-fantastic that he finds great delight in knocking them over and throwing them all over the living room.  That makes it difficult to actually get all the blocks back into the bag (which I do mostly myself) on the first try.  Don't ya hate when you put the bag away and then find strays? 

Creating a masterpiece

Very focused

So tall he had to stand on the couch to put the top blocks on.
And now he's moved on to more coloring.
