Not So Everyday Boy Toys (TAT)

Here are some not so everyday boy toys that Monkey has loved over the past three years. Of course they shouldn't all be shocked at what they are...after all I said boy toys! So here we go....(stay until the end, my favorite is the last one!)

Rocks, Mud, and/or Water
Any size, anywhere and in any combination. To play in, to claim on, or throw.


Bugs (or friends as Monkey calls them)
Monkey loves bugs! Worms, praying mantis, roly polys, ants, he collects and holds them all and loves to play with them. He can spend hours chasing ants around the driveway :)


Daddy! He's a built in jungle gym!
Daddy is good for everything from climbing on his legs and falling onto the floor to horse back rides through the house.

Anything he can sit in!
 From a plastic tub that he made into a bed with pillows, or a box to ride around with a cousin, or one to just sit in and throw balls, or maybe the basket full of toys! All super fun things!


Sea Shells! 
From our vacation. They sit in a bowl in the living room and he loves to take them out and look at them and listen to the ocean.


A Mattress!
We have a crib mattress (we use to have an extra twin) that works as an indoor trampoline! I love it because it's a great way for him to work out all his extra energy on colder days!


Daddy's Hat! My Favorite!
He has loved Daddy's hats since the beginning! The old he gets the more active he gets with them! Now he takes them from Daddy and they wrestle together for hats. It's adorable!

     
   

 And just for fun...
       boys love boogers & picking their noses!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

I'm Thankful For...day 2

Today I'm thankful for the snow outside and the fact that it has kept my hubby home with us today and the fact that just using google and a few other blogs for ideas I was able to find out how to make a link up!  Link ups are fun and I can't wait to read what everyone else is thankful for this month! Grab the button, link up, follow along or just read! It's up to you! <center><a href="http://www.theheartofahomemaker.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd424/Kari_Snellbaker/BLOG-thankful-1.jpg"/></a></center>

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
