Back to Normal! Finally!

Well, today is the day we are finally getting back to normal. Although my mom and dad have been gone for nearly a week we are only just now getting back to normal. Mike has had until today off, so we've just been enjoying the vacation time. Its nice to try and get things back to normal though. We had lots of fun on our vacation. We went to Palmyra and the Hill Cumorah pageant. We also went to Niagara Falls and then to see Gary and Jeanette in Pennsylvania. It was a lot of fun. Once we got back from that road trip we took my parents to Washington DC and to Luray Caverns. It was great. I hope they had fun.

Also on our road trip we discovered that Owen doesn't really like ice cream cones, he only likes the actual cones. He ate one from the side and when he got the ice cream out he gave the ice cream to daddy but kept on eating the cone. Weird kid.

Anyway we had a ton of fun.

Cooking

Owen loves cooking with me. I can't even make dinner without his help. If I even start to pull things out of the cupboard he pulls the chair out and pushes it so he can climb up and help. He insists on putting flour in and usually it ends up everywhere. I'm hoping to make him an apron sometime. Pretty cute huh.

Owen has also had this thing with climbling in every basket he can. He has been climbling in his toy basket and laundry baskets. It is so fun to watch him get in. He doesn't just put a leg over, he has to get down on his hands and knees and then try and put his legs over. He ends up with his legs in the basket and his head and hands still on the floor. Silly kid.

20 months and past menopause!

Today I was watching Good Morning America when the Evista commercial came on. It says "Raise your hand if you are past menopause and treating osteoporosis." Owen was sitting by me and raising his hand really high. I thought it was hilarious. I couldn't help but laugh really, really hard. Then he thought it was funny himself. Every time I think about it I can't help but giggle a little. I think things like this make being a mother worth it.
