From the Mouths of Babes

This just happened in my backyard. After a day full of golf watching at the Giles house Tony and Parker went out back after Phil won the Tour Championship feeling victorious and ready to do a little golfing of their own. Parker outs on his golf and gets out his clubs. I am sitting on the couch enjoying a movie when I hear a familiar sound....the sound of a golf ball hitting my fence....but the surprise was it wasn't Tony's ball....it was Parker's! So I out on my shoes and venture to the backyard to watch for myself. Parker swings and hits a few and then BAM! into the fence again. Wow he's pretty good. And he is so excited he makes all these faces and moves just like Tiger does when he hits a bad shot or a good shot...you all know what I mean...Tiger jumps and throws his arms in the air when he makes an awesome shot and throws his clubs on the ground when he misses. Let's just call Parker a mini Tiger in that respect. So Parker hits a few and misses the last one. He says "I lost" and frowns. Tony says..."You didn't lose. Try again." Parker says.."That's right Daddy...you lose all the time!" Kids!

Line it up

I am standing where Parker hit from...he is standing where the ball landed

FUN!

Parker and I ran errands today. We had the best time. We headed off to a doctor's appointment for me....no worries just a check up on my foot. He was such a good boy in the office. Then we headed to Gymboree...we were looking for some fire truck underwear....they were all out. I will order them online....he was very sad....the face he made was pitiful. Then off to Target...got him a few things to keep at Bubbe's and then he saw the mother load....a Little Einstein's DVD in which Rocket is a firetruck. Well you'd have thought he saw them standing right there in the store....he went crazy and then begged Bubbe to let him have the video today and then negotiated that it was early and the sun was still out and it wasn't dinner time so he had time to watch said video as soon as we came home. But not so fast...he also has recently become obsessed with overalls. Don't ask me why or ow....he has been dressing himself lately. This has become quite entertaining as he just picks out whatever he finds in his room. The other day he ventured into the bottom drawer of his dresser where I keep things that got missed to be packed up because the are too small and things that I have picked up on sale for the next years season that are too big. Well he found a pair of 24 month size overalls and put them on....needless to say they are about 3 inches too short...but he wore them 3 days in a row....inside only of course. So today at Target we got a new pair...ones that actually fit. When we got home he immediately put them on...changed his shirt and sat down to watch the movie....good grief...who knew overalls and a Little Einsteins video could make one little boy so happy....he grinned from ear to ear for 96 minutes.

It's Raining....

It's raining and it sucks. It has been raining for 3 days and it sucks. Keeping a 3 year old entertained inside for 3 days sucks....and thats all I have to say about that! Happy Friday!

Things I Am TOTALLY Loving Right Now

OK so I have been on a kick trying new things and enjoying the things I have always loved but maybe hadn't had in awhile...so here they are in no particular order.....

1. Dark Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups....if you like dark chocolate and you like reese'sthese are a must have...freeze them and they are even better.

2. Edy's Loaded Caramel Crunch Cone Ice Cream....YUM-O It is vanilla ice cream which normally I'm not that into....but then it has a TON of caramel swirl and chocolate covered sugar cone pieces in it. Totally Delish!

3. Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel. This little gem goes in your toilet bowl near where the water comes in to fill it up after you flush...it sticks to the actual bowl. Here's the best part...when you flush the water runs over it and it cleans the bowl but wait there's more....it smells so good....even if someone has just come out....you can't tell what they did in there...the bathroom smells clean and fresh all the time...get it at Walmart...its cheapest there!

4. Yankee Candle Autumn Leaves...I am ready for some cooler weather...like jeans and a T shirt weather....go to the park without melting weather....start running weather.

5. College Football....regardless of the devastating loss to GA, football season is one of my faves. So what the Gamecocks lost one...we'll finish the season 11-1 then. GO COCKS!!!!!!

So there you have it....a few of my fave things...for now

SC vs. UGA

The countdown has begun. Tomorrow I will be posting that the mighty GAMECOCKS have successfully defeated the GA Bulldogs. Kick off is at 7:01 pm Saturday September 12, 2009 on ESPN. I'll be watching and cheering...... GO COCKS!

Nothing to Say

So I haven't posted in awhile....because I have nothing to say. Nothing new with us, nothing funny, nothing exciting....nothing. So here's a little taste of our boring life since we've been home from vacation. I have gone to work, gotten called off and called back in. Endured 5 crazy shifts of premie charge and one of ICU charge. I took care of a sick baby...and helped my pod mates keep their heads above the water. Drove to Huntsville on Saturday AM and drove back on Sat afternoon...all for my niece's 2nd birthday. She was more excited to see Parker and Picasso...the dog...then anyone else. Kids. I went to the podiatrist, and the grocery store and played firefighter in the backyard. So there you have it...BORING. But you know what? It's OK 2009 has been exciting enough.
And by the way FOOTBALL has started....YIPPIE! GO GAMECOCKS!
