 Early spring cleaning/dejunking unearthed an old Zack Morris phone. Henry loved it. And then we recycled it when he was asleep.

 3 year old check up stats: 34 lbs. 36.75 inches

 Henry finally has the attention span to sit through a game of Candy Land. And he usually wins.

 Sleeping al fresco

 Steve: Henry, what's in your tummy?

Henry: it's a baby. a baby lion. it's not scary.

No, I am not pregnant. He does crack me up though.

 Memory, anyone?

I hope you guys realize what you mean to me. I ran out of space on blogger for photos and have been adding them all manually from flickr. Talk about a pain in the... I also realized I haven't shared any of these for over a month so some of these are old.

Babysitting night. They are so easy now that the kids are pretty much old enough to entertain themselves. Popcorn, milk and Aladdin help too.

Fireman pajamas require fireman hat.

We ventured to Funopolis for a little date night. Mini golf and mini bowling. I think I lost at both.

 

Steve is crazy good at those arcade games. I married a man with skills.

Super Henry!Yes, he insisted on wearing that sweatshirt out to run errands one day. Luckily the ladies at Joann's thought it was adorable.

Favorite lunch date to Sam's Club.

Lots of Halloween sticker friends to line up on Halloween!

 

We love Little People here in our house. The Nativity fits right alongside the train track and far. Oh and that is Batman giving a ride to a Wise Man and a Farmer.  

Santa Claus beard. Ho Ho Ho!

Handsome boy!

For some reason Henry loves to hold my hand by interdigitation. And I love the sparkly super hero cuff. Yes, I have since trimmed my nails. Yikes.

 "Mommy, look at me..."

 Someone fell asleep during quiet time, passed out in his cardboard tunnel.

 Big sticks make park day WAY better.

 A couple of weeks ago, Steve had Friday off. He suggested going to the mall of Georgia and getting lunch. What an excellent husband I have. Henry thought the mall was magical with all the escalators, carousels, play areas and mickey stores. I thought the mall was magical too with Sephora and H&M visits.

 Another interesting snooze position...

 Spider infestation. He was proud to help put up the spiders in the bottom web.

 Thanks Pinterest. Nutella filled crescents dipped in cinnamon and sugar. Yum.

 Christmas scraps, sliced, sewn and ready to be whipped into pillow covers. 91/2 yds of Christmas cheer.

 Oconee book sale. Lots of new reading for the whole family

 Its fall! Time to bust out the sweats, Henry sure looks different in pants after months of shorts.

Elephant fun at story time. I continue to be impressed by our story time lady and her creativity.

 This is one of my favorite areas of my house. Its right above my desk. Print by Rachel Austen.

 Handsome boy

 He loves to make his arms and legs into X and Y.

 This is Henry on a family shopping trip to the outlet mall. He did really well and Steve and I were able to find some much needed new jeans.

 Our last trip to the beach for the summer. This kid loves water and will surely miss our swimming adventures.

 How is it that your powder and blush run out at the same time? Bye bye mucho dinero. But Henry loved playing with the super deluxe bag that brings makeup heaven.

 We made those heavily pinned baked cotton balls from Pinterest. Henry really enjoyed making them but they weren't as much fun to smash.

 Last week I was screen printing Halloween designs and a certain little ghost made a break for it and ran across this haunted house. So I guess we get to keep this one?

 Sweet hair, dude.

 My score from the Gwinnet Consignment sale. New clothes and toys and books. Birthday and Christmas are almost done.

 Watching Aladdin in a tent. I had found a McQueen camping chair and camo sleeping bag at the consignment sale. Fabric cardboard tubes make the best support. And I was able to take a short nap while "camping"

 Direct from Cars Land in Disneyland, thanks Gramma!

 It seems I have an audience...

 This mirror was my grandma's and I can't wait to find a place for it in our home and spray paint it some daring color.

 Portrait of Steve and I courtesy of a girl at activity days. Nice dress, Steve.

 Pirate Henry watching Pirate Backyardigans

Big boy bed! Mickey was the only casualty.

 I have been lazy at blogging lately. Partly because we have a lot going on with Steve starting teaching again this week, my shop is steady and Henry is a whirlwind. So for now a small sample of life lately.
Above: Shopping at Target. Henry loves all things super hero these days although I am pretty sure he has no idea what a hero is. Super hero identity crisis?

 Here is he is "helping" me sew. And by helping me, I mean he threw the spool of red thread around the living room until it was all unwound and then proceeded to tangle himself in it. I did watch him do this and he was so happy I didn't have the heart to stop him.

 Two arch enemies often park next to each other. In this case, they are at Publix (a grocery store) where they are going to buy turkey bellies. Henry calls turkey sandwiches, turkey bellies. We have no idea why. The Joker also had to stop off and get gas.

 Hiding in the curtains.

 We've had tasty blueberries this summer and you know what that means, blueberry muffins. This recipe is my favorite. Just substitute blueberries for the peaches.

 I am already well into working on the holidays. I wanted to try my hand at some watercolor prints for fabric. This holly turned out really well in the swatch, not at all yellow.

 Color map = blankey

 Henry and his friend Lyla just hanging out

 We adore Firehouse Subs and are so happy they have a new location on the east side. Usually we go on date night but we brought Henry along one week. He makes a very handsome mini firefighter.

 Sometimes I like to mix it up and treat Henry to an indoor picnic lunch. Having the AC blasting while eating on a blanket is my kind of picnic. Say string cheese!

Henry got finger paints for his 2nd birthday and I have only been brave enough to bring them out recently. It was a huge hit. Thanks, Titi Cindy. Your original Henry Clark is in the mail.
