So Grown Up

I was tied up with Eloise so Teagan went ahead and made his own lunch. Peanut butter and jelly pancake and a baby orange. I'm proud of him, he is a go getter!

Teagan logic

Teagan: "Mom, I just wanted to come inside so I made up some essuses (excuses) for my friends. I do it all the time. i just tell them I have to go inside to grab something and then never go back outside. After a while they'll go home."

Me: "Why don't you just tell them you're done playing?"

Teagan: "Well they just whine and stuff, it's so much easier to just make essuses."

He's learned the art of avoiding conflict, can't imagine who he learned that from...

Good ideas gone bad

We are going on a cruise in a few weeks so I broke out the baby leash to try it out...Eloise thought it was fun at first, then it suddenly was absolute torture. I think we'll leave the leash home. :)

Monster

These two are cute. Eloise watches Teagan build and patiently waits. Then he says "oh no! The monster is coming" and then hands it to her to brake. She loves watching him and he loves having a playmate, a match made in heaven, literally. :)

Sweet boy

I'm going to print off my blog for our scrapbook so I'm trying to write less and use more pictures, but this little story needs to be documented.

It's slightly incriminating, but given my track record as a loving mom and my extremely repentant heart I believe it's safe to share.

I was chatting with a friend who was having a rough day and offered to give them dinner, what I made for us was plenty for our two small families. The kids were playing and I didn't want the food to get cold so I figured I'd run the food to her house and just leave the kids home.. She lives just around the corner and Zac was on his way home so I wasn't too concerned.

Teagan is amazing with Eloise, always keeping a watchful eye out for her. He has noticed her chewing on some random something and fished it out of her mouth before I even got there.

Anyway, I gave him all the directions; stay inside, don't answer the phone or door.

I was probably gone for 4-5 minutes and you can imagine my surprise when I pull into the driveway and Teagan is holding Eloise as he walks down the driveway waving to me. She was barefoot in a little dress and he was in a t-shirt and barefoot as well. After I got over the initial shock and said a prayer of thanks thAt they weren't kidnapped or run over I asked Teagan why he didn't stay in the house.

"I wanted to make sure we got out okay in case the house started on fire."

Such a responsible little guy, such a good good boy, maybe not the best idea, but definitely the best intentions.

These pictures were taken before church today, Teagan was really in the mood to model. :)

When life gives you lemons...

Build a swimming pool in your front room, put on your swim suit and party party.

Teagan has the best imagination, I love him!

Lamby

I couldn't pick one picture! They were all delightful. Thanks to my MIL, Shelly, she has that adorable outfit to go with her lovely disposition.

She is loving her new lamb too, she is a cuddly little girl.
