Just another day...

They dressed themselves and said they were going to a party.

Silly kid

Drew and Mommy went to the library today. We had to go to the circulation desk for help checking out one of the books Drew picked. When the lady was finished, she asked Drew what his name was. With out hesitation he replied, "Crocodile." Then we stopped by the red box to get a free movie. Drew asked what day it was today. He wanted to know if it was the 10th yet. Last week the movie he wanted didn't come out until the 10th (which was the next day) and he remembered that for this time. He is amazing.

Friday night Mommy, Daddy and Drew went to Red Lobster for our Valentine's dinner. Drew was awesome at the restaurant and he ate a ton of food. Saturday night Drew stayed overnight at Mimi and Papa's house with Joey. They didn't go to bed until almost 11pm because Drew decided he wanted to go home. Then he said he wasn't going to lay down. He wanted to stand up all night. He ended up staying the night, but getting up too early!

Tomorrow we are going to Edinborough park with Joey, Dylan and Auntie Lisa. Can't wait!

Daddy saves the day!

Today our search for Chick Hicks came to an end. Daddy scored one at the Burnsville Target!!! Yeah Daddy! Drew doesn't know yet. It will be interesting to see his reaction when Daddy brings it home.

Saturday we went to Cousin Zackory's 3rd birthday party. After that we went to the City of Plymouth's "Fire and Ice" festival. We had a lot of fun. Mommy, Drew, Joey and Dylan took a ride on the "ice train". A four wheeler pulling wagons. Drew and Joey rode ponies. We ate junk, played on the playground and on the lake. The kids (and Mommy until the sled handle broke) were having a grand old time being pulled around on the ice. The night ended with fireworks. Since it was a fairly decent day we were covered in mud! The ponies turned the grass into mud and of course it is fun to jump in mud!

Mommy asked Drew if she was "cool". Drew's response was, "No, but I love you." Thanks buddy.

whew, what a week.

It has been a very busy week. On Tuesday Mommy and Drew went to Toddler Tuesday. Drew got a new green toothbrush. He didn't want the oatmeal they were offering for breakfast. We saw the "Backyardigans", but didn't stand in line for a picture. Instead we rode the rides! Drew had so much fun. He even rode the big rigs with another little girl because he only wants to drive the black truck and she was in there first! He wasn't a fan of the bumper cars. He was the only one on them, but he went in a few circles and rammed into the side a couple times and then wanted out. Probably a good thing he was the only one on the ride. He did get mad at Mommy because he saw lego land from above while we were having lunch, but we didn't go down to play because it was too late in the day.

Wednesday Papa came over to hang out.

Thursday we took a picnic to Edinborough park with Joey, Dylan and Auntie Mandi. Everyone had a lot of fun. Drew did have a little accident. He came down a slide and when he went over the second hump he flipped and hit his cheek on the slide. He cried and had a purple bump on his cheek. He recovered though. He did well in swimming lessons too.

Today we had school. After school we played outside. We just hung out at home all day.

Mommy and Daddy learned an important lesson this week too. Drew still has not pooped in the potty. Last Friday Drew found a toy he wanted for when he poops. On Sunday we were at a different Target and decided we were going to buy the toy so we had it for the big moment. They didn't have it. We have been to 5 different Targets since then and been on Target.com with no luck. The toy he wants is a Target exclusive and they don't know when or if they will be getting more! We did find one on ebay for twice the price. Next time we will be buying it the first time we see it and returning it if he doesn't earn it instead of waiting!!!!!

Funny story: Mommy and Drew were going into Target last night and Drew said he wanted to get a 6 pack of mini cars. Mommy explained to Drew that we don't get toys everytime we go to the store, only for our birthday, going in the big potty, Christmas, etc... Drew says, "or Valentine's Day?" The kid obviously keeps track of which holidays are aproaching!!!

Saturday night we went to the movies and saw "Hotel for dogs". We took Mimi, Papa and Joey with us. It was a cute movie. The kids got a little restless. They did better at the last movie that was animated. We decided we are probably going to wait awhile to go to another movie. Of course after the movie we had to go to McDonald's to get a happy meal with a "Hotel for Dogs" toy. Actually Drew now has 6 dogs(we found one). They are his favorite things to play with right now. He always says, "Wanna play dogs?"

Drew is trying to earn "Chick Hicks and his hauler". It is one of the cars from the Cars movie. He saw it at Target and wanted it really bad. Probably because it is green. He was told if he poos in the big potty two times he can get it. He has been trying, but it hasn't happened yet. He also hasn't gone in his diaper. He was also told if he stops wearing diapers he can get another toy, whatever he wants. He has been trying. Our fingers are crossed.

We are taking care of the neighbors cat, Alex, this week. Drew loves to go over to feed her. It is the highlight of his day. She is quite old, but does like him to pet her.

Natalie is watching the Lindstrom's tomorrow so Mommy and Drew are planning on going to "Tobbler Tuesday". It has been awhile since we have been there. It will be nice for Mommy and Drew to hang out. And what better place than at the mall!!!
