What a day....

These are one of those days you just want to end...and it's only noon! It began HORRIBLY...I won't go into details but I took some Nyquil last night since I was no feeling well and overslept for a really important appointment. If you know me at all...I HATE irresponsibility and this was a very humbling experience.

My cold just got worse this morning where I had to just lay down while Luke played. I cancelled a fun playdate we were going to have which was a bummer. Luke played sooooo well by himself and would periodically come over and give me hug. He knew mommy was not feeling good.

I had my eyes shut for awhile on the couch and did not hear Luke moving around. I opened my eyes and found him asleep right next to me on the floor!!! He has NEVER EVER fell asleep like this. I think he knew I was so tired and he was tired so he thought this was the best option. See cute pics below.

Okay...these pics are a little out of order but this is Luke's reaction after what happened in th last picture. He was very perplexed. Do you see that strange, dark colored dot above his lip? That's a crusty that he will not let me wipe off. I'm picking my battles today and this is not one of them.

Luke only slept for about 30 minutes on the floor. We giggled when he awoke. He loves to go into the cuppards and we have had no problems with him ruining things until today. He took my favorite pyrex glass measuring cup and dropped it on the floor. I am still picking up the pieces. This of course scared him and he watched while I cleaned it up.

Wow...this enough action for me today!! Let's hope this afternoon is quiet :)

Decorating Christmas Cookies

We had so much fun tonight decorating Christmas cookies as a family. We were so interested to see what Luke would do. He's going to a Cookie Decorating Party on Monday so I wanted to give him a little practice. Yeah, he's definitely more interested in the eating part than the decorating part. I wonder where he gets that from???

Yep...this is my hubbie! I think he enjoyed the cookie decorating more than Luke!
Luke did not waste any time eating his first cookie!
Luke gettins messy. It was very interesting...he liked the cookie plain, the icing by itself but he did not like icing on the cookie. I'm not sure why...I think he has an expectation of how the cookie should taste and the icing messes that up. I'm probably analyzing this way too much...but o'well
Before we began...We decided to strip Luke down incase he made a huge mess.
Jeremy made him and I one cookie each to enjoy. His is sooooo gross. He ate the entire thing.

I love my boy!!

Here is Luke eating lunch one day this week. I love hanging out with during the day. We have so much fun playing hide and seek, wrestling, and blocks. He gets the biggest kick out of the littlest things. He's such a joy!!

Thanksgiving with the Dengers

Jeremy's Aunt Diane hosted Thanskgiving this year. We had such a great time. The food was fabulous as always and Luke played with everyone.

Here Jeremy, Betsy and Nancy were look at old pictures. They were laughing really hard.
Luke loves his great-grandpa. Luke goes right to him when he sees him.
The weather was crazy this year. It was at least 60 out...maybe warmer. Luke was enjoying a stroll after dinner!
Here Luke is "watching" his grandma Betsy play with his toys. I'm not sure who enjoyed the toys more!?!? :)

Halloween Night...2 Months Late

Sorry...Just downloading pictures from my camera and still had these pictures on there. As you can see, Luke was not really into the trick-or-treating yet. Maybe next year! Jeremy also informed me, Jeremy will be picking out Luke's costume. O'well.

Here is Luke afterwards...much happier playing with Daddy!

"I don't like my costume!!!"

Here is Luke afterwards with Mommy. He rarely falls asleep in our arms so we knew he was really tired. Isn't he cute??

Here is Luke actually trick-or-treating. He would not leave my shoulder nor give any smiles. Jeremy said it was the costume!
