Happy Mothers Day to me

Reed's younger, pro athlete, funner mom was at a race this weekend, so we were left to our own devices.  We didn't have much on the docket, which is nice.  I love hanging with my boy.  The weather was perfect, so that was super duper nice.  We spent a lot of time outside.  Saturday was mostly filled with Reed's Fan club, which consists of three adorable neighbor girls.  Reed's sun rises and sets on these gals.  When he catches a tiny glimpse of one of them out of the wee corner of his eye, he goes bananas.  Ba-nanas.  It is pretty cute.  They are fast becoming my BFF's too.

Barley has some super star status with them too.  Naturally they wanted to venture inside to see her.   I did not pose these shots.  They just all piled up there together.  And thankfully, my camera was close by.

And, well, as I said, we didn't have much going on, and the boy has to get three square meals per day in.....

This is a really dopey pic of Reed, but I could not resist.  Aren't his eyes pretty?

And on to this morning.....  It was really warm.  I let Reedy go out in just a onesie and socks.  Big mistake with the socks....not sure what I was thinking.....

A boy and his kitty...

See ya!

Those socks are now in the trash. And any day now we are going to start the binky wean.....

Auntie Lisa came over for some breaky, which went undocumented, and then we went to the farmer's market to let Reed practice his busk dancing.  Some sweet man played him a lullaby on his chainsaw.  I would have snapped a pic if I did not have 5 lbs of carrots, 2 pounds of dry pinto beans, and a 22 pound blue eyed marlin on my shoulder.  Next we headed to a nearby park with fun water features.

The three ladies in the back background were kind of enamored with Reed.  And he knew it.  And he was able to talk one of them out of a part of her sandwich.

......which made for a tired, famished boy....who insisted on inhaling some cheddar cheese mac and cheese.  (is that redundant?  is mac and cheese always cheddar?)

Yep.  Sometimes, depending on his mood, he wants to eat Dog Food Style. 

Headed to GasWorks park for a little picnic.  Hopefully his other mom will be able to join us!!!!
