Neighborhood Watch Party
Friday night we had our neighborhood watch block party. The police came out in full force to support us! We had 4 police cars, a fire engine, 2 segways and even Mr. McGruff! The kids were so excited! Logan LOVED the fire engine, but once he got up close he wasn't so sure. The fireman was so nice and offered to let him sit in it. He was having none of that, lol. But, he asked to see the lights and the fireman turned them on for him. He was so excited! They made ID cards for the kids and brought cute stickers and fire hats for them.
Here's Logan in front of one of the cars the police brought. This one was a drug seize but it has a panther on it, which he liked. You can see his "badge" on his shirt.
Logan wouldn't stand or sit on the fire engine by himself. I guess he never realized how big they are until he was up close to one! But, here's Shane holding him in front of the fire engine. You can see all the neighborhood kids going crazy in the background!
We have a few toys stashed in our attic that Shane's sister has passed down to Logan from our nephew, Cole. Shane remembered over the weekend that we had a wooden train up there. He got it out and set up and Logan has been in heaven ever since! We ran to Target yesterday and bought a few more pieces of track and the boys had so much fun laying it all out. (Please note that Mommy did the track in the picture. The one the boys were playing with over the weekend looked much cooler. But, I tried my best this morning!!)
Totally intent on playing. I kept asking him to smile and he'd say "No, Mommy. I playing!" Too funny!
This morning I heard the CUTEST conversation ever between my two guys. Logan had woken up earlier then usual (6:30am!) so I was still laying in bed as Shane was getting ready for work
and talking with Logan. I wish I could remember the entire thing to spell it out, but right before Shane left Logan asked for a kiss and a hug. The he said, "I love you Daddy!" Adorable. It just warms my heart =)
Saturday night I had a MNO (Mom's Night Out) which we try to do every month, but haven't the last month or so. We went to see The Time Travelers Wife and ate dinner at PF Changs. It was a much needed night out for me! The boys stayed home and made homemade ice cream (which was equally yummy the next day.)
I'm also working hard to get my etsy shop open by Oct 1! I'm waiting on my artwork to get done right now for my business cards and tags. Once that's done, I'll be able to order those and roll right along. Here's another peak at what I'm working on...
As soon as my shop is set up, I'll post the link on here. I'm planning on doing matching burp cloth sets, and diaper changing pads to coordinate with the bags. It's all starting to come together!
