my sweet sioux

happy mothers day

i gave palmer his first dum dum ever, because they gave me some at the bank and he was flipping out in the car on the way home from tyler's friday because he was out of milk. . . bad mama, but i did brush his teeth as soon as we got in the door to eliviate my guilt!

i was a complete space cadet about getting mother's day cards out the door, but all the mother's that have touched our lives we love you and will try to do better next year. i've GOT to study for my finals tomorrow and tuesday. . . ugh, i have an interview set up for tonight and every day of this week trying to get my store all staffed. . . it's stressful, gotta get everything done before we leave next week. . .

love my boys. i'm a lucky mama!

sunny days are here for now

palmer had to have his snack in his car yesterday!
a beautiful sculpture palmer made
very intent



talking to the rock
he's put on one of my sandals and kiko's hat and was laughing at himself in the mirror.

oh no she di'n't

palmer reading. i've been putting him to bed with a book, i think a book is his comfort object. is that ok? he reads himself to sleep. . . what ever works right?

i found palmer a little tykes coupe on craigslist hoping to keep him occupied while i do yard work and oh my goodness does this guy love his "ca ca ca". i had to put it in the passenger seat when we drove home and he was flipping out, he wanted to play so bad. he does love it and it does keep him entertained like crazy. he pushes it around, hangs out the window, gabers on his cell phone, puts the key in and out, makes car noises, says, "hi you" to me while i'm gardening. a very wise investment i think! simple pleasures!

i'm kicking butt on my yard. i saw that the habitat for humanity outlet store has gardenening bricks and i want some to edge my flower beds, but will have to see if i have any money after opening this new store. . . it's getting pretty stressful trying to figure out a good looking space divider that i can afford. . . keep me in your thoughts and prayers so my head doesn't exploid trying to do a million things at once.

from tyler

palmer helping her clean while she watched him friday. . . i gotta find him some palmer sized cleaning tools, he does love those things!

monday fun day

palmer's helping dad mow the lawn yesterday

such a good helper

he helped me weed today!
like the gloves on the little car
kiko's in new york. . . we miss him and wish we were there. it made me realize how much i love new york! i love the energy there. i love the subway. i love the food, the shopping. . . i gotta go back sooner than later it's so much fun!

knock on the noggin

so cute! he fell on his face but he's still super cute, especially stomping around in kiko's shoes.
