The title is a direct quote from the Liameister. He says it with incredible glee, and whoever hears it cracks up. He is, of course, talking about apple pie. His first word was apple. He loves to talk about apples. Now he's completely delighted to put them together! He's been stringing quite a few words together these days and you can really understand him. "Lellow ball", "apple pie", "more mees" (more, please), etc. Sometimes the kid even gets his manners before we can prompt him! He's terrific.
"Dee", as he calls Carrie, started preschool last Wednesday. She goes every day from 9-11:30 and seems to be doing just fine. She listens better to just about everyone except me. I am constantly getting reports on how sweet, funny, cute, etc. she is. Glad she's good for everyone else! The class pet is a female hamster named Patrick. Yes, you read that right. There is also an outdoor playground that she has yet to play on, and a memorial path that we've walked a few times. Her class has "about 12" kids in it- the quote is from her. They do a snack every day but when I try to get out of her what they ate I get varying answers: real worms, pigs, animal crackers, applesauce, you get the idea. I think they had gummi worms one day but I have no idea where the pigs answer came from. She is a bona fide nut.
Last weekend we were in PA for a beautiful wedding (go Dave & Colleen!) and a family reunion of sorts. Aunt Lainie, Gary, and David came in from eastern PA and we met up with my parents and Hinrew & Muggin and Nana & Pap Pap all for brunch. It was great! So thank you, everyone, for making the various trips to spend time with us. We also got to see Lisa & Ivy- hope the clothes fit, little miss! Mar, sorry we didn't make it to your house, yet again. It was a whirlwind weekend. And a huge thank you to Muggin & Hinrew for watching Triskal! Whew!
This weekend was a trip to Erie Orchards with our friends, the Arquette family. We went last year too, but the kids had a better time this year. It was a lot warmer, for one thing, and Liam was old enough to appreciate everything. He mooed to the cow and was very, very dubious when it mooed back at him. That bottom lip came out and we all lost it. He was delighted with the goats, especially the black one. "Black goat! Black goat!" And then he saw the pony rides. All we heard was "horsieshorsieshorsieshorsieshorsies" so yes, he got a ride. He loved it. We did take pictures- I'll try to figure out how to do them! He got antsy on the hay ride but they both were pleased to be able to choose a pie pumpkin to bring home. www.erieorchards.com in case you wanna check it out.
Today was church and we washed the dog and Dada & I got the 2nd coat of primer on the basement walls. Busy, productive weekend! We will all sleep well tonight. Off to preschool in the morning! Have a wonderful week- Dada's in town all week- yayyyyyyy! xoxoxoxoxo
*****Christmas Extravaganza 2007 is here the weekend after Thanksgiving. I think that is the very first weekend in December. Mark your calendars. And if you can come help finish the basement before then, please come!!!!!! We still have to paint the walls, tile the floor, and buy the furniture and appliances (read TV) for down there! EEEEEEEEEEEEEP!***** Oh, and I haven't even started on the cookie doughs. Yiiiikes...
