Ty Aint Afraid of No Goats

Clever title, right? (I aint afraid of no ghosts- ghostbusters) Today we went to the best playgroup ever! It was at a ladies house who lived kind of far out in the country and had her own little fishing pond. Ty got to fish for the first time today. He was more interested in trying to hit stuff with the fishing pole but hey he stood next to water with a pole, I consider that fishing. He had a great time and as usual he impressed others with how smart and advanced he is. Anyway also at this house were a bunch of goats, chickens and 1 pig. Ty liked this part of the group the best. All the other kids were terrified of the animals, Ty went right up to them and petted them, fed them and tried to pick up a chicken. Funny story, while the goats were eating one of the big goats headbutted another goat and pushed it into Ty and knocked him over. Ty calmly got up (no crying) went over to the goat that knocked him over and slapped the crap out of the goat. Hahaha one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. No one messes with Ty, not even goats. 

Sweet Baby Ty Strikes Again

Today at Playgroup, Ty went around and blew kisses to all the moms. They all said "oh how sweet my own child doesn't even blow me kisses" ha! I have the sweetest little boy ever! He appears that he likes making women happy just like his father! He's been impressing moms since his early days at Gymboree. He also stopped by all the babies and played with them. He did their little legs in a kicking motion and giggled with them. The babies loved him! This kid is just the best and if ever he gets to be a big brother he's going to be an awesome one!

Decorating for a Baby for Halloween is fun, Decorating With a Baby is Not

I put up our Halloween decorations today. And I must say they are spectacular. I love them they turned out better then I had hoped. I even got a compliment from my husband, which is rare he NEVER gives compliments. I guess after all of the blogs I read I was inspired to do something awesome yet homemade and most importantly, cheap. I feel like it is my duty now as a stay at home mom to decorate for holidays and to do it well. I have been planning what I was going to do for a while now and I finally executed it. Ty and I made several trips to Hobby Lobby, Target and the Dollar Tree and here are the results

I got all of the lights at Target. It was apparent that the colors of the season were lime green, purple and orange so that’s what I decided to do. Most of the little accents I guess you would call them were purchased in the dollar section of Target. I got the black tulle at Hobby Lobby which I used as a base and what I attached things too. I think it really added to it all. 

 I grew up in a house with a pretty grand staircase that was a focal point of the house. My favorite part of Christmas decorations there was the staircase and the  lighted garland that my dad would put up every year so you can imagine my excitement when I learned of our staircase and banister (its going to look awesome for Christmas too.)
 

I got the rest of the decorations at the Dollar Tree, the store where everything is really a dollar. The wall décor is a little on the cheesy side but I have a kid and I decided I needed something more then just the fancy banister. 

Now to the title of this blog it was a pain in my ass trying to get all of these decorations up. At one point I looked over and Ty had gotten a hold of my scissors and had cut a hole in the crotch of his shorts he was wearing. I mean I seriously had left the room for 5 seconds and he was already going to town with scissors. He wanted to put the pretty lights in his mouth and was fascinated by the tulle and wanted to pull it off the railing and wrap himself in it. So anyway after finally putting on an Elmo I was able to finish everything up and when Patrick walked in he was in awe, really.
Yay for Halloween!  

Growing Up So Fast

Today we were outside and Patrick was leaving to go by his jobsite for a while. Ty waved to him as he drove off in his truck and said "bye bye Dad" then he looked at me and said "dad work" Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? This kid is just so dang smart.
There was a big sale at Gap yesterday. We got Ty this new hat (I say we because Patrick really liked it too) for on $4. He may only keep it on for 5 minutes at a time but for those 5 minutes, my Lord how cute he is!

Here is Ty laying on the ground. For some reason no matter where we may be, he will lay down and pretend to sleep. I don't know why but he does it all the time. On dirt (as seen here) sidewalk, even in the middle of a parking lot. Its funny but for obvious reasons its a habit I'm trying to break. 

And a couple more pictures from our walk today, just because...
