Takin it easy

Well, we have completed our first week of school for the year and I have to say that it was a success.  Last year started out with screaming and being afraid to get out of the car...this year started with a "goodbye mom!!  See ya later!!".  Big improvement! 

I feel like we have had a busy summer of being on the go quite a bit, but this was our first week where we had to be somewhere at a specific time in the morning.  Because of this, I decided to take it easy and have a low key kind of morning.  Harrison loves getting out and doing things, but sometimes its nice to just mope around the house, playing toys, making projects and just hanging out.  This morning we made a project that I spotted in the Family Fun magazine early this summer and we just finally got around to it!  Its an elephant watering can...it turned out pretty cute, and now maybe Harrison will get back to helping me water plants!

(Don't you love the hair?  Needless to say, its time for a haircut!!)
Davis has just been wandering around, playing toys, cracking himself up and pretending everything is a phone.  I have been trying to teach him to say "Hi!", but so far he just picks up said-object-that-looks-like-a-phone-to-him and says "ahhhhh" and then starts laughing really hard.  I'm not sure if he laughs because he thinks he is so smart or if I laugh a lot on the phone...could be a mixture of both I guess!

His phone in this pic is a toy computer mouse...after looking at this picture, I know, I get mom of the year award for letting him play with a mouse connected to a long wire.  I guess that comes with the territory of having an older sibling.  What can I say, we like to live on the edge around here. heh.
