Carowinds (part two)

Carowinds (part 1)

We (Jay, Caleb, Lisa and Toon) all went to Carowinds 2 weeks ago after my Mom and sister went back to Vancouver. Caleb had a BLAST. He was able to ride on the rides and he just fell in love with Lisa. He keeps pointing at the group picture (that Toon bought) and says "See Lisa! See Lisa!"...

Thanks to Toon we got the discounted rate and while we weren't able to ride any of the 'big kid rides', it was fun (minus the sunburn that I was left with on my back). Lisa even took Caleb on the lazy river. We also all got a chance to meet Toon's sister and her family..

Caleb got his face painted as "green monster"...kind of like a 'mini-hulk' and Toon got him that ridicously big Diego doll that Caleb insisted be taken with him on some rides. Toon also won toys for all kids present (which is quite a feat since there was 6 kids in total). Remind us to tell the story of Toon shooting hoops at Carowinds for a laugh ;) ...although to give him credit, Lisa says that they went back the next day and he did much better the fourth time 'round. :)

More pics to come later...

Highlights from my Sister's & Mom's Visit to NC

Sandwich

I thought this was the cutest thing. Caleb got the bread, asked for the peanut butter to be opened, and then proceeded to start making himself a sandwich. He's only 2 1/2!!! At least I know that he won't starve if I accidentedly forget to feed him. :)

Working Caleb

So....I've been sick for 3 weeks now and today is the first day that I feel like I'm on the mend. Went to the doctor's with a fever and bronchitis....and then to top it all off, Caleb has been sick too. Ear infection, throat infection, Bronchitis and fever. It's lovely. On top of that Jay's been having a tooth ach problem as a result of some shoddy work that the previous dentist has done and he has been on painkillers too until it goes away (yes, he's already seen a dentist about it, that's where he got the painkillers).

This pic was taken when Caleb was at my work for the family day. I think it's so cute that he's sitting at my desk pretending to work. :)

So...short answer is yes, we're all on the mend. We went to Carowinds last weekend and Caleb had a ball. I need to get the pictures from Lisa so that I can post them.

Zachary & Auntie

So my sister and my mom left yesterday....:(....I'm very sad.... To recap, the week was a whirlwind of crash cooking (and cleaning) lessons from my mom (and sister) and so many trips to the mall that I think that I've fullfilled my shopping quota and won't be wanting to go near any stores until Christmas.

We had Heather, Brandon and Zachary over for dinner one night and afterwards, Caleb and Zachary decided to go out for a ride (with Heather hovering watchfully of course) in the backyard. Those too look like they'll be up to no good if we left them alone long enough...;)

Michelle took tons of pics....so I'm sure I'll be posting a huge blog entry later once I get those from her...

Caleb got REALLY attached to Auntie while she was here. Those two were inseperable....if she was vacuuming, he was vacuuming, if she was making dumplings, he was in her lap the whole time watching her. If she took Daisy out for a walk (we were dogsitting for the Wallaces) then he was out there holding on to the leash. Can everybody keep reminding her that NC's a great place for a person with a PhD in her field!!! :)

Caleb at Bastille Day

My work had a fair for Bastille Day (we're french owned) and this is the pic that was taken with him all dressed up for the celebration.....:)
