Cheap Thrills!

We had a busy week catching up from the holidays and getting back to our routine. It was a rainy week so we stayed busy indoors. We went to the mall twice to play and eat there and also went to a couple of play groups. George's beloved Godmother passed away so it was also a sad week. Aunt Mary will be missed dearly! George traveled to New Jersey over the weekend for the funeral and Drew missed him terribly. We were thrilled when he returned yesterday but then had to drop him off at the airport today for a business trip :( I'm not sure what made Drew more upset, the fact that we didn't pick up CC and Day Day (our usual reason for airport trips) or the fact that George got out of the car with a suitcase. I felt so bad for Drew so I took him to the observation park to check out the planes. Boy, did he love it there! He talked non-stop about the flying planes to anyone that would listen. He would yell, "Faster, faster" when planes sped down the runway during take off. It was really cute and I plan to take him back now that I know it's such a hit!

Sitting like a big boy at the table with his new place mat from the dollar bin at Target. It has sea creatures all over it and he is compelled to name each one before he even thinks about touching his food..."Mama, big whale! Mama, baby fish! Mama, crab!" You get the gist!

I need to get a fish place mat for myself because it's obviously really, really exciting! Talk about cheap thrills!

The only bad thing about Drew sitting in a regular chair is that he won't sit still. I can't even count how many times I said, "Bottom in the seat!" It was the longest dinner ever!
