Car

This is the car that Tate drew today. It has wheels, lights, and a birthday cake on top. Silly guy!  

Sickness

I have been battling morning (all day) sickness. I have had the joy of throwing up while Tate bashed a cucumber on my head saying, "Dad picked a big one."  Today I ended up puking in the front yard. I had to play defense and keep the dog away and keep Tate out of the mess. Then Tate decided to grab his stomach and make barfing noises. What a joy!

Grump

Tate didn't sleep well so he was a major grump all morning. He finally settled on watching a little tv since everything else in the entire world made him angry and cry. Tonight he was driving his bath foam train off a cliff (faucet). He is pretty clever.

Tate is really having a lot of toddler tantrums lately. He is having a tough time transitioning from one activity to another if he is having fun. For example, tonight he was MAD when I made him get out of the tub. Between fits though, we still manage to have a lot of fun.  He put his cheek down in the cement and got chalk all over it. He tricked me at nap time. He was so quiet while playing in his room that I thought he was sleeping. I heard a thud and checked the monitor only to find him hard at play. 

Corn

We picked corn with Brett today. Tate had a great time. 

Brett said there is a litter of kittens under the seat in the old truck that they are using to haul seed wheat to the elevator to be cleaned. They keep thinking the mom will move them but she doesn't and they can't reach them to get them out. So, they keep going back and forth to the elevator. The elevator employee said that one fell out today and he had to put it back. Ha!!

Door Knob

Tate defeated his door knob for the first time today. About 10 minutes into his nap he comes out and says he had good dreams and he needed a kiss. He was way too excited to go to sleep then. We played outside for the next few hours. Dirty little boys are the best kind of little boys!!

Sick

Morning sickness is really hitting hard. I am supposed to take a bunch of extra vitamins since I am having twins and it is a real struggle. Tate is doing well with me just running away to the bathroom at any time.

Football

Watching some football. Grandma Joan visited today. Tate was sure happy to see her. 

Truck

What more does a boy need than his wagon full of trucks on a beautiful fall evening?  He was apparently done playing inthe shed and loaded everything up to go outside. 

Bath

Mr. Imagination does so well with his bath shapes. He make a Popsicle (obstacle) course for his car and a garbage truck!

Pinano

Tate had a great day. Apparently he was rough and rowdy with another boy his age at daycare. They were both spinning, jumping around and giggling when I got there. Tate had to go to grandma's for a short visit while I got my car back from the shop. He played her pinano. Ha!  He told grandma that they have lots of books at the library and he picked out a Mater book. He told me that the car was hot and we needed the conditioner to cool it off. He had so much fun playing with Brett tonight and sang Buffalo Gals about 50 times with me. 

Twins

We found out we are having twins today. I had a feeling there might be more than one and I was right. At first I had a resident tell me I was having one, then she thought maybe there was more than one but finally decided what she saw was a blood vessel. The doctor came in and saw two babies right away. I feel nervous and scared but incredibly blessed.

Fall

Summer is definitely over!

Fair

My parents, Brett, Tate and I all went to the state fair today. Tate did pretty good!  He responded well to the behave or we will have to leave threat. His favorite things were a trailer made to look like how it is underground with bugs and roots, etc. and riding the car ride. He had so many moments of pure joy on his face.  An autistic teen had his service rabbit out for us to learn about. 

Boys

I love them both!  Tate was mad this morning because he wanted to go to the beach to look for shells. I just never know what is going to come out of his mouth. 

Snack

Just a bowl of oatmeal for a snack. Tate learned to eat over the bowl so he didn't spill one bit. He was hopping around today pretending to be a grasshopper. 

Cut

Tate loves the play-doh scissors. 

Picnic

Today was gorgeous. I went out to eat Mexican food all by myself then got a haircut. We decided to soak up this beautiful day with a picnic. Tate loved it and the cats were eager to help us eat.

Pics

Here are the random pictures off of my phone from the last few days. 

Cheese

I put the camera so Tate could see himself and this is what I got...

See tractor momma!

For the record, he had shorts on all day until they got dirty at supper.
