Randomness in February

I don't know how it has gotten to be the 20th of February. But here we are. Cash has been up to his crazy shenanigans as usual. His new thing is that he knows how to use the camera feature in Jake's ipod and my phone. This may seem  harmless and cute except for the fact that he has no sense of what's appropiate and what's not to take photos of. You want to take pictures of the dog, your toys, the TV that's all fine. Mom in her underwear doing her hair or dad's bare bum getting in the shower, not so good. Jake and I have quite tuned into that "click" sound. It's always interesting to pick up our devices and look through the pictures to see what's on there........


This was an interesting look. Once again, he was running around in 'roos and then started piling on the cowboy gear. Part of me thought this was really funny, and part of me was really disturbed by this. He looks a bit like a stripper. No mother wants their two year old to look like a stripper, but it's still kinda funny.........

We found him here one morning. Just enjoying some Mickey Mouse. Just like at the Drive-In.......

We've really been working on taking turns. Cash got this game shortly after Christmas and would not play it correctly and it was just more of an "issue" than a game so it got put up. I got it back out and we tried again and he's really doing well with it and understanding. It's basically "Ker Plunk" but a Toy Story Version. You pull out the color stick that you get on the dice and you don't want the "aliens" to fall out. He really likes it and he pulls the correct color stick even. It's a good thing and we make it a "special" thing that we do together.

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!
