Bouncy Balls

A few weeks ago I pulled my exercise ball out of the closet, and it soon became one of Dean's favorite toys. It also became one of the cats favorites too, and so it quickly developed a leak (thanks to a cat claw).

Next time we went to Target we stopped in the toy section and picked up a new bouncy ball.

It cracks me up when he walks down the hall with it. The thing is almost as big as him!

The Fair

Last weekend we got some VIP tickets to the county fair, since DH & the store donated to the rodeo. We took Dean and Grandma & Grandpa along for some fun. When we arrived we got to just go straight through the door and in, no waiting in line for us. The rodeo hadn't quite started yet (and I was super hungry) so we went to the special VIP tent for some very yummy food (and beverages!) We went to the rodeo & the announcer embarassed DH by talking to him in front of the whole crowd, but the store got some great promotion, so it was worth it!

It was ridiculously hot sitting in the stands, so we headed outside and let D walk around in the grass for a while (which he LOVES, plus he had Grandma's complete attention, can't beat that!)

We also went and looked at all of the 4-H and FFA animals, which I think I enjoyed at least as much as D. Baby Goats are just too cute!

As we were walking out of the barn there was a huge fan that we had to walk through. At first we didn't think he liked it because he made a weird face, but then D made Grandma & me or dad go back and forth about 10 times.

Ok, a couple words: He's too big for the jumperoo, so we made it into a fort. I don't know who liked it more, D or Leo!

Ssshhhh

Today I decided to swing past the library on our way home from work/school. I knew it wasn't the best idea, because by the time I picked up Dean it was Almost time to eat, but I figured with the help of some Cheerios (I LOVE my little Cheerios container, by the way, don't know how I lived without it!) that we'd be ok. Instead of going to the big library we went to the little, cute, downtown library (little + cute = very quiet!). I tried to look quickly for a book that would fit in my giant mommy purse, but my new "wobbler" didn't like being carried. (And he doesn't understand Shh) When I stood him on the floor, however, he wanted to pull all the books off the shelf. SO we headed downstairs to the children's area, where Dean found a new toy (and a book or two).

Then tonight, after reading Strega Nona about 3 times, he was asleep by 8! Miraculous!
