Romp and Roll!

Luke's class took a trip to Romp and Roll for a little field trip one rainy Wednesday. I'm not sure I've seen anything cuter than a bunch of 18mos. to 2.5 year olds romping and rolling so much! Luke absolutely loved showing off around all of his friends.

Luke is the oldest this year and has certainly found his personality!

Luke rocking his teacher for a change!

That didn't last long - he moved onto chatting with his little girlfriend, Megan.

And more Megan.

And more Megan - two peas in a pod. But looks like Thomas has his eye on Megan!

Here's his buddy Reidand Noah (the youngest)

and Andrew

and Zachary
and sweet Caroline.

Luke loved everything except the organized group activities. Like father like son. You'll notice the whole class sitting on the "red floor" but Luke chose to observe from the slide.

He's a natural at the climbing wall.

And liked pretending to be a monkey, too.

Stickers!

Luke came down with a really weird illness last month. For about four days he had random spiking fevers that would happen once or twice a day and last about fifteen minutes. Other than that he was fine. But obviously he couldn't go to daycare with this going on so he got pampered and enjoyed some time off with me and his Mimi and Poppaw. His great grandma in Indiana sent him some stickers with a card to make him feel better.

Silly boy!

Though nowhere close to being potty trained, Luke thinks it's hilarious to wear Grayson's underwear - over his jeans.

Birthday!

Well I have to admit I'm a little late posting this given that I'm actually talking about my own birthday from last month! Technically I got to celebrate a few times - once with Rich and Jolene, once on my birthday itself, and once the next weekend when we went in to see my Mom. But the 16th itself, proved quite an interesting day. Steve was out of town, Rich and Jolene were out of town, and I had class. So....I arranged for one of the girls who works in my office to pick up my boys and entertain them on campus until I got out of class. It was a great plan until I realized that I had left my phone in my office so had no way for Amanda to reach me if she needed me - and I had no way to reach her. Then after class I realized I hadn't really specified where we would meet. Needless to say, my planning needed a little work! In any case, after much confusion and about a half hour, Amanda and I met back up. Bless her heart, she had had the boys make me a birthday card, picked out balloons, and she and her friend had gotten me a bottle of wine and a cake and even got green icing for the boys to decorate it. She said she just couldn't imagine me spending my birthday evening alone with no cake. So when the boys and I got home, we had a nice little celebration!
