A Man Playdate!

Thankfully, one of the coldest days this season so far today has been today. I say thankfully because we had two little boys scheduled to come over for a playdate. We had Miles, the little boy Levi loves to giggle with and copy, and Dane, a newbie to our house. Dane had a great time playing with our computers and cars and was amazing about sharing! He even tried to lift weights with me when I was exercising.
Dane and Levi were really great about playing together! Dane wore a Batman shirt over- and Levi loves to sing"BATMAN! Dananananananananan BATMAN!" so that was a fun beginning to the day!
Of course Levi and Miles had a ton of fun together as well! They petted the cats, pranced up and down the stairs giggling, and drank smoothies together!

The only down side of the day was changing 2 dirty diapers, neither which belonged to my kid. And one was REALLY REALLY bad. We're talking 20 wipes. I AM NOT KIDDING. Oh well. A small price to pay for Levi having fun, and me being able to get some things done!

Cute things Levi is doing: On the way to church last week, we saw a bull dozer. After it was gone, Levi said, "I want to see another one Mommy!" I told him to keep looking and maybe we would see another one. After a minute he said, " There is a bulldozer - oh no- it's just a tree".

Levi is about 3 feet tall right now. He os over thirty pounds and he likes to read "The Hungry Little Caterpillar" and books on tractors, garbage machines, or construction vehicles, a spooky book from the library, and a book on pirates.

A Baby and a toddler....

Today we babysat Rainee Cowan in the morning. It was really eye opening to have a toddler and a baby at the same time. It was a little eyeopening because I was definitely not as patient with Levi as normal. He really loved Rainee and kept trying to play with her, which was super cute.

Silly Times!

This is what Levi and I get up to when we are at home.alone. Pretty much any silly thing we can think of!

Grandpa Hensley!

We went to see my grandpa this weekend since he had a heart attack. We were really wondering if we should go or not, but we decided to since you never know what could happen. We saw a lot of people we hardly ever see! Here's Aiden! He was really playful this trip!

Here's my grandma and my dad!

Here is my cousin Shane and my niece Scarlett. Shane almost feels like more of a brother to me because I my mom watched him since he was a baby and he always seemed to be around.

Here is my Uncle Gary who I almost NEVER see. He was in a pretty good mood.

And here is my Grandpa! He's an onery old soul, but I think that's why I like him so much!

Traveling Day

Today we traveled to Illinois. My granpa had a heart attack last weekend. The doctors told him that his heart was working at 20% and there was nothing they could do for him. So they told him to go home and enjoy the time he had left. They didn't say he had only a certain amount of time left, but to take it easy. Since he is my favorite grandpa (hahaha my ONLY grandpa) I wanted to come and see him and not have any regrets if anything should happen.

Soooooo.... This morning, I get up and take Patrick to work. I come home and clean, then take Levi to the mall to run around the play hard for an hour since he would be stuck in the car for 6 hours. We met his best bud Miles there and my great freind Natalie, and had fun with them for a while. Then we drove to the library, went home to get lunch, and picked Patrick up and then left.

In other news, sewing night was great! Here is what I made!

Irritated

It's nap time at the Trainor house. My plans for this magical time? Carpet cleaning. I was trying to get my house clean so I could go see my grandpa who had a heart attack down in Illinois. I was feeling kind of pressed for time to get everything done, but I figured I would just work hard as late as I needed.

So this morning I go to pick up my carpet cleaner from a friend I had lent it to two weeks ago. I'm already feeling a little annoyed for having to pick something of my own up, but when I saw the condition they were returned it in, I just got DOWN RIGHT ANGRY.

Yes, I actually got so mad, I took pictures and I am blogging about it. This is the steam cleaner. Maybe you can't tell, but their is dried hair and dirt on the OUTSIDE of the machine. Really?

This is how nasty it was on the inside.More dried crusty hair/carpet stuff all over.This is what my tub looked like after I was done cleaning up AFTER someone else 45 MINUTES LATER!!!!!!So thanks to my "friend" I had an extra 45 minutes of work plus a bathroom clean up, the feeling I had just scrubbed someone else's toliet for 45 minutes,and a whole lot OF BEING MAD!!!!!!!! So no, I will NEVER EVER lend my carper cleaner to anyone again.


AND I AM STILL REALLY REALLY MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Levi singing "I Am a Child of God"

Here is Levi singing "I Am A Child Of God". He's sooooo cute!

It's a good thing I have cute videos like this to make up for the times when he does things like this:
"Burps loudly at the dinner table and then says TAH-DAH!"
Farts and then laughs hysterically.
Cheers when the alarm goes off in the morning.
