On Saturday, I stopped by Sean’s dad’s house to return a sump pump I borrowed recently and Caleb’s buddy Mason was there testing out the waters of his little pool. Caleb helped Mason feel out the waters and they quickly began splashing wildly getting their clothes soaked. Caleb just about jumped in fully clothed so I got him down to his diaper and let him at the pool. He and Mason had a great time. They play really well together and cooling off in the pool was the perfect setting for yesterday summer-like heat.
Basement Makeover
Thanks to Aimee and all her hard work. I love this girl!
Our basement has been long overdue for a makeover. It’s not a finished basement so it’s not much to look at, but there are a few distinguishable areas created down there and things haven’t really ever fallen into the right places until now. A few weeks ago, Caleb’s Uncle Timmy helped install some shelves for us to store hysterical stuff which allowed us to get rid of 3 pallets and save some space in the process. That’s right I said hysterical, you know the historical stuff people get hysterical about when you throw it away. We went through our things and picked a few items for a yard sale pile, placed them on the shelves, moved some things into the storm shelter, organized the play area, and a little sweeping before calling it a day.
Time flew by today and Caleb was a great little guy roaming all over the basement with his cars in hand. This kid has quite a thing for toy cars. He’s getting a little more creative with his noises too! He makes the rumbling sound of big and little cars, does a little sound for cars when they crash into something, and today he did a noise for a siren. He plays so well by himself as long as you are not that far away.
Aimee showed me a few things that belonged to her grandparents like the details of her mom’s birth weight, size, and time of delivery nestled into an envelope with a one and a half cent stamp on it. Another item was a note her grandma jotted about attending a single room school for multiple grades. One statement  was, “if you are sick you ride home with the mail man.”
Here’s a little video of the “before cleanup” not that I have an after to compare it to just putting something other than Caleb on here for a change.
Now here’s one of Caleb!
Happy Mother’s Day
I have been practicing all week with Caleb to say these 3 words for Aimee and the mothers that get to see it here. Thanks for bringing boys like us into the world. We tried to say mothers, but it sounded nothing like your or I would say it so we had to switch it up to get the full message out. Click the link below to see the message!
