Day 21

Not much went on today at our household. A lot of sleeping occured because I stayed up till about 4 a.m. last night. Hudson and I did play outside for a while. We raised his swing, because his feet were dragging the ground. I think he is getting taller every minute. Besides the playing outside, I spent some time on the internet looking up recipes. I have a new favorite recipe website. It lets me keep all the recipes I love in my own recipe book online. They have so many good recipes and I can even submit some of my own. This is a picture of the website. It is called allrecipes.com.

Day 20

O.K. I know I'm cheating, but sometimes I have to post 2 pictures because I just can't pick. The first one is our new idea for one of those dreaded playpens. Just Joking. We found Hudson under the baskets singing a song. Just another way for a three year old to entertain himself.

The second pic is of Hudson cooking again, in his underwear. He's making cornbread for dinner. His daddy told him, "You're mommy is turning you into a girl." I found this very funny, because at the time he said this, he was cooking the sausage for jambalaya. YUMMY!!

Day 19

Here's my lonely tomato. I keep waiting for it to grow some friends, but it is content on its own. It is starting to turn red, so were about to get to eat it - YEAH!! Hudson has wanted to eat it as soon as it started growing.

Day 18

I decided that our flower beds were starting to look like a jungle, so I began a project to redo them. Unfortunately, some moron, planted these green Christmas Tree plants that cover the ground. When we first moved in, I liked the small plants. Now they have covered the whole bed and then weeds have grown over them. This was the mid point of cleaning out the flower beds. We have uncovered many of my beautiful Gerber Daisies - they are such troopers! I'll show the finished product when we get there. As for now, if anyone asks we just say, "Those darned landscapers can't get anything done in one day - all they do is take breaks and sit on the ice chest". HA, HA!!

Day 17

K.P., Clayton & Hudson had a play date today. Hudson had a great time pretending to be a baby. I think all that rolling over and crawling around wore him out. The 2nd pic is of him asleep 5 minutes after we left.

Day 16

Hudson and I went to Chick-Fila today and then to the library. Hudson loves to play at Chick-Fila and it was really nice today because we went before the lunch crowd came. This is a picture of him coming down the slide. I didn't take a picture at the library, probably because he did not enjoy it. He wanted to play. I tried to explain that it was fun to read books, but he didn't care. He wanted to play. I even got finger puppets out and played five little monkeys with him, but that didn't last long. I think he was really tired and needed a nap. We'll try the library another day - not near nap time.

Day 15

We have the worst luck with plastic pools. They never last and Philip has decided that we won't ever buy one again. He said that "Before" I bought this one. The sun warped the columns and they won't stand up anymore. This pool is only 2-3 weeks old. SAD!!!!! But we'll keep buying them, like every other parent of a toddler.

Day 14

Like I said before, Hudson really enjoys cooking. He's been really interested in everything I do in the kitchen. He always wants to help. My goal is to teach him how to do the dishes. Today I took a picture of him helping me make banana bread. He blended it and added the dry ingredients. What a chef!!

I couldn't leave out this other picture. Hudson had a play date with K.P. today. Aunt Jennifer brought lunch over and K.P. and Hudson played. They really liked each other. We're planning another play date this week.

Day 13

This was my favorite game as a child. Hudson got it for his 3rd birthday, from me of course. He loves it just as much as I do. It is so fun. We had a blast playing today and he even plays by himself when no one else will play with him. This was much like me, because my brothers were at least 6 years older than me and they were not interested in "Baby Games".

Day 12

Hudson is cooking - in his underwear. He loves this gift that Lara & Jean gave him.

Day 11

The boys have had a stomach virus. I came home early from the Resort to take care of them. This represents our life for the past few days.

Day 10

My lonely tomato. I'm proud that I at least have one. I'm known to not have a green thumb.

Day 9

Hudson enjoying the Resort when he came to visit. The picture isn't great because it was starting to get dark. We think the pool might be the cause of the stomach virus that comes later.

Day 8

Beautiful Flowers at the Resort. I miss my little one, but am enjoying having no one to tell "Go Potty!".

Day 7

A night at Rockfish - YUMMY! The Fondue was delicious.

Day 6

Privacy Door Hanger, you gotta love the pine cone.

Day 5

Marshmallow Roast at the Lake. What fun!!!

Day 4

The Sunset on the way to the lake. I was taking the picture while driving.

Day 3

We will be a toothless family soon!!!

Day 2

Today has been a relaxing, fun day at the Chapman House. We spent the evening with Aunt Jennifer & Aunt Paula watching Hudson swim. This is a picture of all of us (except me, because I'm taking the pic) relaxing on the sofa. Summer nights are the BEST!

Day 1

Tired after a long day of shopping!

Beginning of blogging

OK, One of my bestest friends and her family has this cool blog where they post a picture a day. I have loved looking at their pics and reading the comments so much, that I have decided to start my own. It will be a great learning experience, and it will also mean that I will have to keep my camera charged. Wish me luck. Thank you Jenn for always coming up with great ideas, or stealing other peoples ideas, on how we can stay connected and share our lives with our friends and family.
