Once a week dinners

Grandma asked Mommy if she wanted to start cooking dinners with her once a week. But , we need to pick something we've never made before, and make something different every time. Ummmm....Yes!!!!!

 Last night was our first dinner, and we made Chicken & Mushroom Manicotti:


 


 
Yummy!

K's window collage

Today K made a window collage:

We started with a clear piece of contact paper.
                                               
K applied felt stars, colored pipe cleaners, and colored feathers.



He also used large felt shapes, and red Christmas ribbon.
Here is his collage finished. We went outside to see what it looked like from the other side of the window, and K smiled. He was happy with his work.

I think he enjoyed the stars the most!
 

 

He's getting faster

K has been practicing on his bike. And he's getting faster:

Go Sweetheart!!!
 
Here is a video clip of my big boy practicing riding a bike!

Give me a kiss honey

Sometimes when my son gets upset before bedtime ( because he wants juice and has to have milk) or early in the morning he tells me:

Mom: I love you honey.
K: I love you too.
Mom: Come here, give me a kiss.
K: No, I threw your kisses away.

Not only does he tell me he threw them away, but he acts it out too. He points his little index finger at me as if he's getting ready to teach me a lesson. Then he makes this cute little face;  he wrinkles up his nose, squints his eyes, and throws his kisses behind him as if he's throwing them away.

Oh how I wish I could get this on video to show him when he's older.

K's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated K's third birthday with his Grandma & Grandpa, and cousin! I can't believe he is already three!! Where did the time go? I have this over whelming urge to keep him at this age forever. Our time is just going by way too fast. First, we took K to his very first movie. We went to go see the Disney movie, Frozen. Here are the boys running threw the hallway in the theater:
 
Unfortunately, K was scared of the dark theater. He was still too young. We ended up walking out of the movie.  I did have a back up plan just in case that happened. Kangazoom was inside the mall too! So, we slowly made our way over to Kangazoom, of course he got to ride and play all the games that the mall had to offer on the walk between the theater and Kangazoom !



This was his favorite game. He got to shoot huge spiders!


 
We made it over to Kangazoom! The boys loved the train ride!


 
Grandma & Grandpa took us out to a very nice lunch after Kangazoom.
 Daddy got home from work quickly after we returned home, and he took us out to dinner to celebrate K's birthday.
 


 
Here is a small video clip of the server singing Happy Birthday to K!
 
K opening up one of his presents.
 
We always end up going out to dinner for K's birthday, but we let him pick out a little cake to celebrate when we get home. This year K picked out a princess birthday cake.
Here is a video clip of K blowing out his candles.
