Grandma's house

Earlier this week, we went over to my grandma's house so Wayne could trim down some large broken tree limbs that were hanging from her trees from the ice storm. (I thought it was so nice of him to offer!) Before we left, Mason loved watching this huge "cherry picker" tree service truck cut down this tree & put it into the chipper just a few houses down from ours. He thought it was pretty cool! I really don't know why they took the whole tree though.

There's always treasures to be found at Grandma's house. (Mason calls her Gigi)
Here he is playing with some of our old toys. Of course he loves the barn. He discovered my old Strawberry Shortcake house this time...

And I had fun with the RingaMajigs (in their original container from the late 70's/early 80's.

Wayne was so tired after about 2 hours of tree-trimming. And Mason was tired of playing. He fell alseep when we got home.

My living room looks like a daycare...

Well, it did. But now all 500 of the toys are put away nicely in Mason's room. It really made me think that we should donate some of his old toys. Mason spent most of his Christmas money on Saturday buying new toys and mommy made sure to get some outfits as well. There's just enough left for a trip to "the bear store" (aka Build-A-Bear) to get some jamammas (pajammas) for Patches and maybe some accressories.

I love this picture (although blurry) it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland!

A few days ago...

Meet "Patches"

Again, pics from last Friday when me, my mom, & Mason went to see Santa. After visiting with Santa & riding the rides, we ate lunch then started shopping. It wasn't long before we found ourselves in Build-a-Bear Workshop. Mom wanted to treat Mason to his first Build-a-Bear as a Christmas gift. It was fun! Mason picked out a cute puppy dog:

Random Pictures From This Week

What a Cutie!



Mason has his own little pillow now that he's a big boy sleeping in a big boy bed! Mom made him these 2 pillow cases & embroidered his name on them, of course!




Got some new toys, including some plastic food in a basket. He's "eating" a plastic waffle here...

Everyday Things

In trying to document the everyday little things, I decided to take pics of Mason's toys to create a scrapbook layout about what are his faves right now. These toddler days are zooming by and I want to remember it all.
This afternoon we are going to the Pediatrician for Mason's check up. I can't wait to see how much he (officially) weighs and how tall he is!
