Butterfry

"I want to touch the butterfry!"

Da Bump

The growth of the tummy is still going well. Our doctor visit on Monday was good. Everything from the sonogram from two weeks ago was great and the heart beat was a strong 140. At this point in Chuck's pregnancy we were noticing some rise in blood pressure. I think mine this visit was 100/60 or something like that. Any way, my blood pressure was so chill that we all kinda chuckled.

This mama-to-be got her hair done today and I am going for a mani/pedi tomorrow with my only "friend" who lives across the street. By "friend" I mean I have talked to her three times. Dr. is enjoying several days off and crazy dude is crazy as ever!

So here is a photo of da bump and the new 'do.

Ribbit

Chuck's turtle sandbox has been filled up with water lately to get us through these summer days. Today while filling up the bird feeder with daddy, Chuck found a FROG in the "pool". Thank goodness daddy was home because this mama is NOT going to touch it!

Chuck loved it and played with it a good 45 minutes until it hopped away and he couldn't get to it. Unfortunately mama couldn't get to it either :).

Radio

Chuck has been asking for a radio for a few days. Today when he got in the car after school the first thing he said was "go store, need radio". He has been playing with it for ten minutes and already knows how to work it. He uses it to play school. He picked the black one because it looked like Miss Sam's radio.

School Days

Today Chuck officially started K2 ( I guess). He went to summer school for about a month and then had a week vacation.

We made it through the carpool line with no tears! After a week away from his teacher I thought we may have to start from square one but he did wonderful. Usually we purchase his lunches through the school which has a nutritionist that cooks the meals. This week everyone had to bring their lunch. Chuck was so excited to take his lunch box and his new animal encyclopedia with him today!

I am so thankful that Chuck got to go over the summer. There were only 8 children in his class and some days less than that so he really got one on one attention. Now there will be 14 children. I can't imagine throwing him into it at the beginning of the fall semester. He will be the helper in the room. At open house his teacher made a comment about him being the class clown. That boy does love attention!

I promise I will take a picture tomorrow!

Summer Vacation

This week is pretty much Chuck's summer vacation. What's a better way to spend it then going to the river and laying in mama's bed eating cereal and watching cartoons? This guy has it made!

Big Pool = River

We are back from the river. Dr. has to go to work tomorrow and Chuck and I have open house to start off the new school year!

Chuck had a wonderful time at the river. It was our first relaxing family vacation.... ever. Chuck didn't whine once. (He certainly made up for it on the way home with 2 straight hours of whining!)

The river was great. Most of it is shallow and perfect for children his age. Not necessarily swimmable in most parts so that was nice. Chuck (who hates water.... And was miserable on the last trip to the lake) was a fish and didn't want to get out of the water. We a rurally had to tell him that it was closing each day so he would leave.

Here are some quick pictures. I must go supervise my child trying to drown the cat.
