Memorial Day Weekend

Alex's dad and stepmom came for a visit last weekend. Solomon even gave him a hug when he left!Just a cute facial expression...

I'm sure Solomon was saying, "Whasss tha...?" as he was pointing at the garage door. He IS ALWAYS saying that.

A little screaming contest between Solomon and daddy.

We are having a good Memorial Day weekend, despite the fact that Alex has had to work for most of it. We had a BBQ for some friends last night. My parents also had a garage sale on Thursday-Saturday. I made about $140 which was pretty good, considering I didn't have much in the sale!

Hello-Lo

Solomon has started to say "hello" a lot and sometimes it comes out hello-lo-lo... like a very quick echo sort of. He loves to greet everyone, especially in public places.. over and over again. I think some people aren't sure what to say after he's told them "Hiiii!" 50x. Anyway, his love for greeting and opening and closing doors is on the following video. I don't think he uses "Hello" in this one, but does say "see ya".

Raising a Reader picture

I forgot to add this before. It's so funny. Solomon is 2nd from the right. They have a program through his daycare and the YMCA called Raising a Reader. They send new books home with you each week to read to your child and you bring them back the following week. He "graduated" from this program this week. He's pictured with all of his classmates.

Friday is HERE!!

I was in Phoenix Sunday through Tuesday, so I feel like I've just been catching up the last few days with work and the rest of my life. I really missed Solomon and Alex, but I must admit it was nice to not have to pick up after anyone or feed anyone for a few days. The weather was hot during the day but perfect at night. I also got to hang out one night with my friend of KSN, Jason. That was so much fun. We always have such a good time chatting. Roy Williams was staying at our hotel with a bunch of friends. All of these people kept telling me they had spotted him as if I was supposed to be impressed. They forget I kicked him to the curb in my mind, the minute he left for UNC. We got our revenge last year, so I no longer dislike him, I'm just not in awe of him any longer.

Solomon has been so cute since I got back. He has continued to throw tantrums, but mostly in the evening when he's super tired, so that's okay.

We played around this morning. This is just a short little video of him in one of his new rompers from Grandma L. I think it's so cute. He's not really doing anything in particular but being his crazy self.

It was so weird last night... I woke up to a thunderstorm around 4am and looked outside and I SWEAR it looked like a news video of a hurricane. I was convinced we were in a tornado for a minute. I turned on the TV and it wasn't a tornado, just a thunderstorm, but they showed a windspeed of 60 mph at one of the weather lab check points right by our house. I guess that's why it looked so crazy outside.
I hope everyone has a fabulous Mother's Day. All the moms that I know of who read my blog are great moms, so you all deserve a nice day off. I told Alex that I just wanted the three of us to go pick out flowers/veggies for my garden and for him to watch Solomon while I plant it all. I like gardening, but it does take time.
