Birthday Boys

Coming Soon!

Logan will be TWO on Thursday!
My tiny baby (okay, he's a giant baby) will be a little boy soon. I've been told that he hasn't been a baby for a long time now, but I refuse to accept this bit of information for fear that once I accept the fact that he isn't a baby I may, just maybe, just might, have thoughts of having another one.... Yep I said it. Another baby.
But don't go freaking out yet... there is no way we are having another baby. It has been decided, officially, that we are done. The baby machine is shut down. I just think I would have to entertain thoughts about having more babies (or just one more baby), while knowing it wouldn't happen. Maybe this is why the youngest child in a family gets to be babied much longer than necessary - mothers have to hold onto that feeling that they have a baby in order to squelch the desires to have more. It's mental birth control.

Logan is head over heal crazy about this one particular commercial on television. Zoo Pals. They are paper plates made by Hefty. Simple, and admittedly flimsy, paper plates with animal faces on them. The song is catchy and the commercial is very colorful. So what's a mom to do? Have a Zoo Pals party! I have the cups, I have the plates. I have plans to make balloons to look like them (balloons + sharpies = animal faces on balloons). I also plan to make not one, but two cakes in the shapes of Zoo Pals (which would be a circular pan plus two cupcakes for the ears or feet). Other than that - well, he's two - he won't care. So I will make sure to take lots of pictures of all my little crafty plans. Oink Oink Zoo Pals! Hoot Hoot Zoo Pals! Ribbit Ribbit Zoo Pals! Zoo Pals Make Eating FUN!

Also Coming Soon!

Kirk gets old! Well, as old as me anyway. He is nine months younger than I am so this is the time of year I look forward to. I have 3 whole months where he can't get away with calling me Older, or his Old Lady... yuk! Kirk's birthday is the day after Logan's. I plan on making him enchiladas that day (one of his favorites) and giving him his gift. I would tell you all what I got him because I think Hell would freeze over before he sat down to actually read my blog... but as soon as I posted it Destiny would think she was funny and he'd peek. So you'll have to wait until Friday... But it's a good one, for him anyway.

And Kirk is on vacation this whole week. So far our plans are to get out and do something every other day or so (if it were up to Kirk he's spend every waking hour laying on the couch).
Today: Zoo,
Tuesday: home
Wednesday: Shopping at the Mills, errands, etc.
Thursday: Chuck E Cheese (Logan's Birthday)
Friday: Home, Errands, etc. (Kirk's Birthday)
Saturday: Logan's Partay!
Sunday: Home, clean up, recovery
Monday: Grant's Farm
Tuesday: Home
Wednesday: Logan's two year check up

Well - I guess I'd better get ready for the Zoo....
