His Usual Naughtiness... and Then Some

This week last week of so has been full of mischeif once again... i think i have done more cleaning recently than i have in MONTHS! There are several reasons for that, and i managed to capture several of them. Reason # 1 for that.... this little cutie decided to unroll the entire box of trash bags.. and it was brand new! He thought throwing them away was the perfect thing to do. well, atleast he knows trash bags belong in trash cans!

Reason #2.. he discovered the basket of music i keep behind our keyboard, and he decided it was his little nest. he climbed inside it and then he nearly destroyed one of the books, and threw the rest all over the house! he REFUSED to get out, and threw a royal tantrum when i picked him up.

Reason #3.He has decided that he is an expert climber... the also pushed his diaper bag off the trunk we keep in on and threw the entire contents around, then climbed himself up here and excitedly banged til he was sure i heard him. he was pretty proud of himself til he realized Mommy saw the mess... then he looked just a tiny bit nervous. oh isn't he cute?!?!?!

He has done way too many things to take pictures of every single thing, but i have just a few more! He has been taking things apart... the tv stand, and his little dresser. he pulls the shelves and drawers off and takes the clothes to the living room, and scatters dvds all over the house!

 Now for just some pure cuteness... Daddy left for Annual Training this weekend, but before he left he spent some quality time playing gameboy with Connor. I thought it was adorable, and obviously Connor thought it was a blast, because this morning he was trying to play himself with an older gameboy!!!

 Another cute moment this week, the other day Connor got a piece of paper stuck on his head and didn't know...it was there about 20 minutes and it was soo funny! he sure is one cute kid!!!

But we haven't only been cleaning, we've also had quite a bit of fun! We got to go to the La Casita pool with Marne's family, and Connor had a blast! We have been a couple times now, and each time gets more fun! Connor seems to really enjoy the spash pad now that he has gotten used to it!

 Connor has also become attached to some odd things in the recent week... straws, and tooth brushes! we thought it was soooo funny at first, but then we realized he had taught himself how to drink out of a straw, and that he was trying to brush his own teeth! because of that, we are getting him his own toothbrush, and just recently bought him new sippy cups that have straws!

 After we swim, i always put our swimming suits and towels out to dry on our porch. usually Connor will go out with me, then come right back in. But this week he decided the porch was THE COOLEST place, and wouldn't come inside! when i tried to pick him up he would run from me. he kept running over to the screen door and looking in and pounding on it and squealing and laughing... it was pretty cute, even though i was slighly annoyed at his persistence lol.

After i realized how excited he was about being out there, i decided maybe we should play out there in the early afternoon when its shady out there and we haven't got the heat quite so much. So, this morning we gave it a shot. and boy did he have fun! we took some toys out there and he played on the water table we got from Marne. I'm thinking we will have to do this more often!

We had a couple other interesting things happen this week. We got a new loveseat! our neighbor's were moving out and asked us if we wanted it. i was thrilled to have more than one peice of furniture for people to sit on now! its the same color as our recliner loveseat, and only in need of a little cleaning. it is in wonderful shape, so we were sooo excited! i rearranged the living room to make room for it :)

Also i took Connor to the allergist to be tested to see if he has milk allergy. We did a skin test first, but they said it wasn't severe enough and would need to do a blood test. That turned out to be a disaster...but after we took him a second time to try they were able to get it. i felt so bad torturing my little man!!! The skin test was only 20 minutes and i took a picture of it. It was really bad 10 minutes after, but then lessened down to what the picture looks like at the 20 minute mark. poor kid! we go back in two weeks for the results!

I have taken lots of videos lately, so hopefully i'm not overloading anyone! He's just such a cute kid who could resist capturing his cuteness???

It's been a fun week. We are hopefully that two weeks without Daddy will go by fast! We are both going through withdrawals already lol Connor keeps wandering saying his name over and over again and crying and not wanting me. Everyone cross your fingers for us that its not miserable until he's home!
