eli in the park

-

Although the air is very crisp, the sun has been shining and we have been trying to take advantage when we can (new pictures, yay!).

Eli had chosen to wear his “fancy outfit” on this day, but before we went to the park he took off his vest and tie and put a black tank over his white dress shirt (which was over his new blue polo shirt).

And I am pretty sure he had TWO pairs of shorts on under his pants.

On the way home we stopped to say hi to the ducks.  I really hope they digest fishy crackers okay.

Since I was curious I just googled what to feed ducks:

  • Cracked corn
  • Wheat
  • Barley
  • Oats
  • Milo
  • Birdseed
  • Grapes (cut in half)
  • Frozen peas or corn (defrosted)
  • Earthworms
  • Chopped lettuce
  • Vegetable trimmings or peels (chopped)

Fishy crackers are not on the list and apparently bread, our usual go to, is bad too. 

I enjoy my alone time with Eli, mostly….he is giving this mamma a lot of drama right now and it is very nice when I have a chance to just enjoy him and all his adorable little boy cuteness.

You're brave to let him take to the park in his finery! But then again, who could resist that adorable face?

Eeesh, I've been feeding the ducks improperly all these years...

Adorable outfit there! I am sure the ducks will survive, right? Or just go to another park so you don't have to seem them dying. (cheerful, aren't I!?)
He is adorable, as always!

I so love his outfit! Tommy went through a phase where he wanted to wear a tie everywhere when he was younger.

Glad you get some cuteness mixed in with the mischievousness :)
And the layered look is always in fashion so Eli might just be the next design superstar.

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

-
Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
