Goodbye, so long, farewell

Every Saturday I wash our pillows, sheets, and blankets. So this past Saturday was no different until I opened the dryer. And saw this......

 

Yes, my FAVORITE, I mean favorite pillow exploded. I had this pillow for over 10 years. I took it from my parents home when I moved into my house. I love loved it. But all good things must come to an end. So long pillow.

I had most of the mess cleaned up until Easton took it out of the bag.

 Hence the running away from me.

Cleaning up the mess

Roooaaarrrr

Don't mind the mess in the house. I did not plan on posting this video when recording it.

You should always count the crayons

The title of the blog says it best. Everyone should always count the number of crayons a child gives you once they are "done" with art. Once you look at the pictures I hope you can put two and two together.

A look back

I can't believe that in a couple of weeks Easton will be 2 years old. How time flys by when your having fun. Or in our case when fits are being thrown. But in all honesty Easton is a good kid. And I'm not saying that because he is mine. But he truly is good, fun loving, happy, kid. There are times that I wonder where "my child" went because he is throwing crazy fits. And I tell him many times that what he is doing is not normal...ex trying to bite the wall or table.

Everyone always says that "he is always smiling" and it's true. Unless he doesn't get his way he is smiling or trying to make people smile. Looking back at these pictures I see a child just learning about life and two parents that had no clue on raising a kid. Well, a year later we have an independent learner, who is such a boy getting into everything. And still two parents that have no clue on raising a kid. But all three of us are trying are best and figuring out each other day by day. (But I have a feeling Easton has figured out James and I a little better than we figuring out him)

 

 

Day off

James and I both took the day off to spend some family time together. We had many things planned that day. We were going to sleep in, go for breakfast, then to Morton Arboretum, come home take a nap, then maybe go out for dinner. Easton thought otherwise and changed everything. Then only thing that stayed the same was us going to Morton Arboretum. It was so much fun there. We have gone here plenty of other times but today there was NO ONE, there, the weather was perfect, and Easton actually got to do some of the activities. Before he was too young to do them or did not understand what to do.

Shark!!!!

A couple of weeks ago Auntie Gloria gave Easton a shark robe for after his baths. To be completely honest we never really used the cute ones when he was little. We always used a regular towel. One night(it was the night after he received the towel) we thought it would be fun to see it on him. So after his bath/shower we put it on him and he loved it. Like loved it so much that he took it to bed and slept with it. So needless to say that every night we use the shark towel. Easton knows where we hang it up and most of the time gets it before his bath.

 

Where's Easton?

Here I am

Watching Tv in his shark. Remind you no diaper is on

Life

Today on facebook(fb) I saw a friends post about losing a loved one. I immediately texted her(it was 11:45 at night) to see if she was ok. We "talked" for awhile and I tried to cheer her up. We haven't talked in a long time but it seemed like we just talked yesterday. When I got done texting her I sat down and just thought about life. About my life, my job, my family,my frieds,  how I effect others, how others effect me. I went into Easton's room and gave him an extra kiss. I know that death is part of life but I want to make sure that I live mine to the fullest and really make something of it.
So tonight make sure to hug and kiss your loved one a little longer. Be grateful for what you have. LOVE YOU!!!!
