A Post!! I have been such a slacker with this blog. I really don't know why - I just haven't felt like writing that much lately. I have been maintaining my other blog but that one is so easy to update! I just write about all the money I save!We've been pretty busy around here lately! Last week Mike was in Omaha, NE so it was just my & the boys for 5 days.

The bookstore wasn't even open yesterday and Mike's office closed early. I am so tired of winter! If we get another 1 1/2" of snow this will set the all-time snow record for our region of ND. We better get that 1 1/2" - if we don't I'll be pissed!

I do - it happened 2 weeks ago :( When Logan first called me Mom I didn't really think too much of it. But then he kept repeating his mistake. The Mommy name is being said fewer and farther apart. I do not like it one bit! Now it seems like the only time he addresses me as Mommy is when he's hurt or really tired. Otherwise it's MomTanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070245129157549776noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26638095.post-54969472976968168772009-03-03T13:15:00.003-06:002009-03-03T13:24:50.601-06:00A Race!Lately everything is a race to Logan.-It's a race to see who can eat dinner the fastest.-It's a race to see who can get dressed the fastest.-It's a race to see who can go to the bathroom the fastest.-It's a race to see who can get in the vehicle the fastest.So far it's been working pretty well.

For the next 14 weeks every Wednesday evening he'll be going to Kindermusik. My Mom had taken him to an event at the library last week where there was singing and dancing involved and I guess he had a blast. The next day she called me to see if I had ever heard of Kindermusik - I had.

He seems to really enjoy it!He's getting the hang of eating solids. He's enjoyed applesauce, peaches, sweet potatoes and bananas. Logan's newest thing is to "do the dishes".

He seems to like them and I think he would get a lot more in his mouth if that pesky tongue would stop getting in the way ;) I find that the best trick is to make him smile his big, gummy grin and then put the spoon in his mouth. I usually leave it in there for a couple of seconds to prevent his tongue from pushing all the food out.We gave him Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070245129157549776noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26638095.post-59217203819814531162009-02-09T22:11:00.003-06:002009-02-09T22:20:42.925-06:00Rain?!?It is the beginning of February and it is raining here. In North Dakota! That is just plain weird :) It began raining last night and is still drizzling now. We've gotten over 1/3" so far. Mike has begun to call our town a lake since the rain has nowhere to go. All the gutters are covered over in snow so the rain is just sitting in big puddles everywhere.

If Logan continues to eat like he has been lately I'll begin to wish CVS would turn itself into a grocery store too! I bought a 5 lb. box of clementines at the grocery store on Saturday and they are half gone. Logan ate 4 of them at once!! His eating marathons usually last about an hour, sometimes longer. Last night he ate 1 1/2 cans of spaghetti with meatballs, a banana, an orange, Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070245129157549776noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26638095.post-22081918142672391312009-02-01T11:27:00.002-06:002009-02-01T11:30:21.042-06:00Giveaway WinnerHere are your random numbers:245Timestamp: 2009-02-01 17:26:53 UTCAnd the winner is.....yomomma!

Then Noah & I made a trip to the dentist - my fake tooth had chipped. I got that repaired, ran to CVS, and then came home for a bit. Noah had fallen asleep in his car seat so I left him in there until he woke up. I then fed him a bottle. Of course when I burped him he decided to spit up on both of us. So I took him up to change his outfit and my Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070245129157549776noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26638095.post-59376344344792163422009-01-28T13:35:00.004-06:002009-01-28T13:41:49.330-06:00How Did This Happen??How did this little guy: Turn into this BIG guy: Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070245129157549776noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26638095.post-16303158848108596072009-01-26T08:00:00.004-06:002009-02-01T11:26:27.085-06:00Bloggy CarnivalThis giveaway is now closed!If this is your first time here - Welcome!
