My Birthday

Yes, I know. I've fallen behind. So I'm going to go back and try and catch up! I hate that I've gotten so off track on this but I know I can do better. So here's the first step to getting on track!



My birthday! Cash was SO excited for my birthday which he referred to as "mommy's hooday" he just couldn't wait to have a "Hooday Party" with "Hooday Party Hats" and a "Hooday Party Cake". Mom and Greg came up for the weekend before and brought all the supplies. 
Here are some highlights of the day.
Cash helped Grammie decorate.

This is the amazing Cake my mom made for me in the Cake class she took. It was SOOOOOO good!

 He blew on the horn all day......Great idea mom!

 Cash wouldn't take the hat off all day. Mom brought him some new puzzles to play with and he loved them! Thanks mom!

And of course, We had to be a bird with the hat!

Everyone at the "Hooday Party"

He had the hat on all day.......

I mean it, ALL day!!!!! hahaha, it was a good "Hooday"!

A boy and his Jet Pack

After some thought, maybe my bra isn't the best "Jet Pack". Cash was asking for a back pack so he could fly like Oso. I'm not sure why he can't fly with his Buzz wings. Apparently those only suffice when he is Buzz Lightyear. When he is Special Agent Oso, he needs a back pack. Well the only back pack we have is one for grown ups. He made it work!

Race Cars

All day long Cash has been wanting to play with his remote control bumper cars with Jake. The batteries were about dead and to replace them it required a screwdriver and I just haven't been feeling well. The minute Jake got home Cash had both cars and remotes ready for him to "fix" and play. Unfortunately for Cash, Jake's idea of the game was much different than his. On these cars there are buttons on the side that you are supposed to try and hit with your car to make the other car's driver pop out. Well, Cash doesn't like to play that way. He just wants to take turns going. He wants to drive his car with Jake watching, then have Jake drive his car while Cash watches. Jake however likes to smash into Cash's car or simply chase Cash around the house with his car. Cash does not care for the car to get too close to him or his own car so he ends up picking up his car and running through the house yelling "no no dad!!!" Jake is thoroughly amused and Cash is not........ I'm not sure who the adult is and who the child is in this game.......

Special Agent "Bra"-So

Again, I start by saying I have no words. I swear Cash comes up with this stuff himself...I'm not feeling well. So I admit I took my bra off in the living room and it was on the floor next to where I was laying. Dear Sweet Cash picked it up, and decided it was a back pack, and he was Special Agent Oso. That was it, he was off and running, literally. Of course in his mind he was flying. I couldn't help but find this hilarious, I'm not sure how comical Jake found it. I'll let everyone else be the judge.......

 You can see here, he's almost in flight with the help of his trusty "back pack".....ahhh, I love him........

Santa Cash

I have no words for my child. This year he fully grasped the concept of Santa Clause apparently. The other day he saw his Santa hat in his closet and asked me to get it down for him. I didn't think much of it. Well, this came out of his room today.......

"Ho Ho Ho Mommy! I'm Santa Plause! Merry Cwistmas!"

I died laughing! That is a pillow Jake bought me years ago. Now I guess it's Santa's Sack? I know, I know, he's in his 'Roos again, what can I say? Less laundry??

Football, Food, and Friends

The weekend was pretty laid back. We hung around the house. (no surprise there) Cash has been really working on putting the sounds of his letters together. He's doing pretty well with it. Mom told me about a show on PBS called Word World and Cash is obsessed with it. It's really helping him with sounding words out and "building words". We played a lot of computer games, Sesame Street has become a hit on the computer. Cash asks to play "Momo" (Elmo) a few times a day.
Sunday Todd came over to watch football and I made egg rolls by  myself for the first time ever. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!  

And where did the week go?

So, ya. I don't know what happened to Wednesday and Thursday. Cash and I didn't leave the house. (No surprise there) and we just hung out. Worked on some letters and putting them together to make sounds. Did piles and piles of laundary and that was pretty much that.
Wednesday evening Jake came home from work and it looked like he was holding something in his hand. I told Cash to ask Daddy what he had. (assuming it was candy)  Well, he had nothing. He was holding his hand weird because he had smashed his thumb with a hammer and it was really cold outside. His whole nail is purple and the pad of his thumb is HUGE! Our sympathetic son looked at it and said "your hurt your thumb Dad? Whoops! It happens!" and wondered off........ Guess we know what he hears when he gets hurt!

So Friday Jake and I had an appointment in Curlew and we left Cash with Todd. There was a basketball game but it was JV girls to technically Todd wasn't coaching. Cash was very excited to see Todd and play "basketball Hoops". I left him at the school while the varsity girls were having practice and Cash followed Todd around the gym carrying a basketball and mimicking his every move! If Todd leaned against the wall, so did Cash. It was too cute! Keep in mind the basketball he was carrying is bigger than his head!
So when I went to pick him up the games were in full swing. I go into the high school gym and my child is actually ON THE BENCH between the two coaches! The game only had 30 seconds to go but Cash saw me. Todd had to hold him back till the buzzer went off. Well, as soon as it did, Todd let him go with all the players still on the court! Cash goes streaking across the court to get to me and girls are trying not to trip over him on their way back to the bench! And of course, Cash trips and falls down and the crown gasps! He pops back up and keeps coming to me, but geez! Talk about a scene!
I get him home and he was SO excited to tell Jake and I about playing Basketball Hoops and show us his stamps from the game and the ball he got. I had to take a picture of it, and he was being quite the ham. He definitely had a good time!
