Day 11: Put Em Up

Hunter has picked up the fine art of fighting at day care. I think it may be from the older boys. So now he is all about punching, he wants to fight and this little guy packs a punch! I do not know how the other little kids can just sit around and punch each other and not complain about it! So this morning when we got to day care he wanted to fight, so I grabbed my camera and caught him in action. He was excited when I showed him the photo for his approval. Now if he bites any ears off then I might have a problem on my hands.

Day 10: Light Up Ball

Hunter loves to play with balls. It is one of his obsessions, when we go to the store he has to buy some type of ball. We went to Target and he found this ball that when you smack it on something it lights up. Well last night we went to the store and he was excited because he could really see this ball light up in the dark. I on the other hand was not to thrilled to be driving down the street with a mini Rave going on in the back of my car! I can't imagine what the other drivers thought when they saw us driving down the street!

Day 9: Art

Ok so I was preparing a healthy meal while Hunter played quietly with stickers. I thought he was just looking at them. He called me over to show me his proud Art work that he did. I actually love it! I do not mind that he put stickers on this stuff because really its kinda like magnets. He was so proud of his decorating that I have decided to leave it up for a little while. I would much rather have stickers on the oven then crayon or marker.

Day 8: New Hair Cut

Hunter needed a new hair cut in the worst way. So off to the kiddie hair cut place. Let me just say that it was the worst experience EVER! He fought, kicked, punched and cried the WHOLE TIME!!! I was so embarrassed and gave the woman a million apologies and a huge tip. I know it didn't make up for it, but it made me feel a teeny tiny bit better. 

Day 7: My View Every Morning

Day 7: My view every morning. It is the best view a mother could ask for. Sometimes its a hard long drive to daycare and work other times we have a blast. This day was great, he was in a super silly mood!

Day 6: Look mom I made you something!

After a long day dealing with difficult people it's always a pleasure to come home crank up some music and cook. Hunter usually helps me cook but this time he wanted to make things for me. We had these pipe cleaners and he was making me things. He made the sun, a dinosaur, my hair, the sky and for his little girlfriend at daycare a flower. While he was crumpling up those pipe cleaners and so proudly holding them up for me to admire I thought to myself: this is what's it's all about. This is what all the sleepless nights when they are little, the midnight feedings, the growing pains, the barfathons, tantrums that are thrown in the middle of a store making you leave your cart right in the middle of the isle. You power through the hard parts so that when your kids create or do or say something sweet and amazing your world stops and your heart melts. Everything that was wrong no longer matters and the only important thing is me and him.

Day Five: Angry Birds Addict

This boy needs a 12 step program and STAT!! Every time he sees our phones he says : "I wanna get pigs mom" Not a day goes buy that he does not play angry birds! The IPhone and other smart phones are a parents saving grace. When we go to stores it distracts him from tearing the store apart half the time. Not only are there fun games but there are some educational apps also and he loves those. Its all in fun, and I know it may not be the best thing for him but it works for us and that's all that I care about!

Day Four: Sometimes you just need a break

So I am a day late, with the Project 365 any way! I am sure that this is going to happen. Life always seems hectic and sometimes gets in the way of doing the really important stuff like Blogging! So Here it is, sometimes at the end of the day all you really need is a break. I took this picture of a Corona delivery truck this morning. I need a Rockstar and went to the connivance store and what did I see? The heavens sending me a message and that message was: Don't sweat over the stuff you can not control. Relax, slow down and enjoy life. After the rough night I had last night these words made sense. I rush through things because I am in a hurry to get on to the next project. I need to stop, pause and look around at my surroundings. I need to pay attention to those around me that need it. More importantly and this is a huge one: I need to take care of myself. Something that I hate doing because I feel selfish when I need to slow down. I have been dealing with one of the worst back aches I have ever had. I thought it was because I have changed chairs at work, My couch and bed are old and not to mention Hunter has been sleeping in my bed for the past month. Now that I think about it, it is stress. It has to be, its not getting better and slowly getting worse. So starting today I am going to slow down, smell the roses and drink a Corona.

Sleepy Boy Day Three Project 365

We had some excitement today: SNOW!!!! We live in Las Vegas and it snows maybe once a year and never sticks! So when I woke up and saw the snow, I had to wake Hunter up:) So I woke him up and got him dressed and ran outside to play a little in it. He was excited, especially when he go to daycare and there was enough snow to have a snow ball fight!!!!! So he played hard in the snow that melted in three hours from it falling. Which leads to this picture: A tired baby!!! He got home we went and got pancakes and he was ready for bed. He had a long day, its not everyday that your mom wakes you out of a peaceful sleep to go stand out in the cold, then have a snow ball fight with your friends!! It made me realize how short and Sweet this life is and I wish we could have more moments of spontaneity in our lives.

Day 2: Cold day at the park

We decided that despite the freezing elements outside we should take a short walk to the park to burn off some energy. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. We had a blast, we were the only ones at the park so we had it all to ourselves. Hunters most favorite thing at the park other then meeting new friends is the swings. He could swing for days! So he swung as high as the sky and we chased some birds. I looked over at a house and happened to see some chickens!!! I have lived in this neighborhood for over two years and never saw a chicken here, so we had to go investigate. Hunter went crazy and almost ran across the street to chase them! He was a little disappointed when he couldn't catch one. Oh well next time:) So here is my day 2 of the project 365. I love this shot of his simple smile and shaggy hair and really who doesn't love a black and white pic?????

Day 1 My Goofy Boy

Hunter-Goofy, Silly, Loving, Helper, Kind, Giver, Caring, Trouble maker. There are so many ways to describe my wonderful loving son. He is a nut, loves to dance, play and snuggle. This picture captures his goofy side, a side while sometimes frustrates me is a side that I hope he never loses. It is a side that when I am at my lowest he brings me back with his silly antics. So for my Day one of project 365 I share with you my goofy, fun loving, tongue sticking out wanting more M & M's beautiful son.
