IT WAS A GREAT BIRTHDAY

Judging from this first party for my son, I may be in the process of becoming a monster when it comes to party planning.  This is the party I was able to pull together with the help of great friends and family but most of all my hubby who indulged my dreams.  

The theme was nature.  My budget was small.  Supplies came from Miejer and Target.


The throne of honor.


Birthday Plate I made for Little Man to eat his cake on every year.


 Carved by Daddy out of water melon.


Animal Crackers  


The generic goldfish crackers because they had more shapes.


A Timeline of Little Man's Growth over the past year.


Blue Kool-Aid, Ginger Ale, and sherbet along with sanitized bath toys. 

Little Man's friend, The Z Man, fighting over who has more space in the boat.


Oh here we go.  We can both fit. 


Practicing walking with Nana and Pawdy.


The amazing sugar filled cake made by Pawdy.


Eating snacks from his party treats.


Opening presents while Grandpa watches through Skype.  Oh the joys of technology.





Grandpa, did you see my presents what a great day.


Oh I love my presents.


"What.  There is something going on for me."


"I am a little afraid of the singing and the flames and the cake."


"I don't get what I am suppose to do next."


"Figured it out.  Share with my friends."


"I can't believe you want me to eat this.  It has sugar.  I refuse."


"Yep still refusing."


"I hate this and I won't eat it.  Get me out of here."

Tomorrow I leave him

When I sat down to write this blog, I was gonna write about the adventures Little Man and I had last week.  It was gonna be all up beat and fun.  I was gonna share all the fun we had.  However, I am just not feeling it.   First pic of me and my son.  You see I got the call.  "Mrs. Spear, my wife is in labor.  She will need you to fill in for her now."  "Ok, I'll be there Monday morning." So much to think about.  While I am excited about this going back to work idea, I am very sorry to leave Little Man.  I have had the great privilege to have 6 full months and a week to be a full time stay at home mom.    First Bath It has been wonderful and exhausting.  Lovely and inspiring.  Crazy and calm at the same time.  First Car Ride So tiny and small. Oh the love.  One week old. One Month Old  Back in October, the school I will be working at called and asked me to cover a long term position in Kindergarten.  It would start in January and end

Apple Picking in AZ...who knew?

 Guest Blogger: Little Man I realize that I am the star of this blog, but since mom has been feeling a bit under the weather lately (I hear she is growing a baby...whatever that means), I thought I'd take a chance to help her out and update you on our wonderful day.  Today was a day I think mom and dad had just as much fun as I did.  This is rare.  I mean they really don't seem to get the wonder that is life.  I mean we have a whole bunch of rocks in our yard, and they are perfect to stick in your cheeks.  This is a blast.  Whenever I do this, instead of joining me, mom starts yelling, "No No No.  Get those rocks out of your mouth."  I really think if she tried it she'd have as much fun as me. Today though they joined me in my fun and only stopped the fun once.  I'll get to that part. First they made me take my morning nap in the car.  They drove and drove and talked and talked up front.  It was boring me so I took a nap.  Then we get to this pla

As I make the transition from full time stay at home mom to "full-time" working mom/"full-time" mom.  Life changes.  I find I spend the majority of my day preparing for the next day.  I drop my son off at day care at 6:40.  I head to work.  Work.  Work.  Pump so my son has food for the next day.  Work. Work. Work.  (Between the time of work I laugh (inside) at all the funny things that kindergarteners say.)  Pick Little Man up from day care (best part of the day).  Go home.  Clean bottles. Clean pump.  Make new bottles.  Fill bags with new diapers for Little Man tomorrow.  Make dinner.  (I won't say clean up dinner since Main Man does this.) Give Little Man a bath.  Put him to bed.  Climb into bed exhausted.  Then start all over again. Oh friends.  A wonderful trip to NC. Even though I love the school I am working at, I don't know how some women do this all the time. I imagine it would be easier if I was not having to pump and take of all the bottles.
