Keeping Busy (Part 1)

So, since Daddy has been gone for a few weeks, Charley and I have had to find things to do to keep us busy. Since there are so many things to post, I'm choosing to break it up into parts. This is what we've been up to so far:

The inspiration for my blog title and lead photo - he *really is* a hurricane!

Shopping at 1/2 Price Books. Mommy and Mimi loaded up, assisted by Charley of course!

When the Texas summers make it unbearable outside, the only solution is to play in Mimi's sprinkler!

Charley and Penny getting in some cousin time. Penny was so sweet to show him how her toys work!

Taking after Mimi and Mommy - getting hooked on Wheel! Mommy gets to shovel food in her face in the meantime...

Lunch with Nina (my M-I-L) at On the Border. Nina came to play for a whole week!

This past weekend was really busy for us. Once again, Mommy and Charley hit the open road by themselves to visit family and friends in San Antonio. The trips left much to be desired, but we managed to survive all the same. Here are some (but not enough) pics of our adventures:

Mommy attempting to distract Charley with a Thomas the Train DVD. It lasted 5 minutes up and 0 minutes back.

We stopped at Inflatable Wonderland to hang out with cousins Owen and Colsten. This is the least blurry pic I managed to take. Charley liked the bouncy house thingys but his favorite thing to do was to open and shut the fort door. Mommy didn't get pics of all the boys together - we could never keep them in the same place at the same time! We also got to hang out at Aunt Peggy and Uncle Eric's for a while.

We got to spend the night with Auntie Sam and Uncle Dax (Godparents) and they were kind enough to get up *early* Saturday morning to hang out for a bit before we left for a birthday party! Charley was too busy studying Uncle Dax's beard to pose for the camera.

At Carter's 4th birthday party! Carter is our Godson, and we've been lucky enough to be able to make all the parties. This year though, Mommy chased Charley around the whole time and didn't get any pics until it was time to leave. Once again, not enough pics. Not even one with Aunt Jennifer (another Godmother). The party was cowboy themed, and Charley's favors were a cowboy hat (that I'm still trying to get good pics of him wearing), a bandana, and a hobo sack filled with goodies (GENIUS!)! Mommy wants to hire Aunt Jennifer to do all of Charley's parties from now on.

Whew, another blog down. We have 5 more days till we get to talk to Daddy, and 11 days till he's home. We still have lots to cross off our list before he gets here! Until next time...
