ATTENTION mommies of girls...

Okay ladies with girls... My friend just started making adorable bows and flip flops for little girls. I added her blog to my blog list so check it out. She and her sister have got to be THE most creative people ever!! I want to buy them and I don't even have girls. Great prices too :)

Name Change

I thought it was only fair that I change the name of the blog. Bug has had his run of it alone for the past year or so. Since he is no longer an only child, we are learning to share and that includes claim to the blog. How can you talk about Landon and all of his glory when most of it now includes Keaton as well. 

So enjoy the new episodes of "The Bug & Moose Show"

They call him.. Flash and other labor day fun!

We have been steady busy in the Hall house lately. These two boys are keeping us hopping. We are tired, sleep deprived and longing for some quiet time to ourselves. HA! I suppose we'll wait another 18 years for that :)

We headed to Moody Gardens with the Oberts for Labor Day. We had a great time and spent some awesome family time together. We enjoyed a hot ride on the paddle boat before calling it a day.

He usually gets yogurt or pudding for dessert if he eats a good dinner. 90% of the time he wants yogurt. As he was enjoying his dessert last night and Jeremy and I were cleaning the kitchen and talking amongst ourselves we noticed in the background that Landon kept saying something about lotion. When we finally stopped being self absorbed in our conversation we noticed what he was saying... "I got lotion on me." Smells like lotion, looks kind of like lotion, feels like lotion, must be.... Gogurt! Thank goodness he was headed to the bathtub. 

My mom cut his hair yesterday and then we gave him a bath so he wouldn't itch. When we got home Jeremy grilled chicken for dinner which immediately gave Landon an excuse to hit the back yard full force. Clothes simply seem to melt off of him when he's outside. For example, when I went to pick him up from MDO yesterday his teacher says, "Guess what your son did today." That is simply something no mother ever wants to hear. "We took him to the potty  before recess and he didn't have to go, but when we got outside we turned around and he had whipped his pants down and peed on the playground." God gave me boys for a reason. I now know it was no accident. Most mothers would have been mortified, I know. I simply found it hilarious, if I'm being honest. If he has to go in the car and we're out and about we pull over in an empty parking lot and pee on the tire. It's quick and easy and we don't have to worry about finding a potty. You have to make potty time fun and peeing on the tire is a great way to get him to go FAST! But I digress. As he was running around getting all sweaty yesterday, post bath, I went out to get him to come inside to eat and he took off running. It wasn't funny at first but then I noticed all he had on were his spider man socks and I started to laugh. That's all it took. He laughed and ran and ran and ran and despite how athletic I USED to be, I couldn't catch him, which made us laugh even harder. Then he took his underwear and threw them over the neighbor's fence (the neighbors we don't know.) Thankfully they got caught on the edge and I was able to rescue them. So after much running and laughing he finally came in for dinner... and another bath! His little hiney is so cute.

This is cropped for obvious reasons!

We have been working on Landon's bible verse for the week. Now that he's moved up a class at church he gets to do bible stories and pictures and an actual curriculum. He loves his veggie tales CD which has taken over the radio in my car. Something I miss dearly and will regain once I start back to work. We were talking to Landon about Jesus the other day, which we try to do frequently. We asked him where does Jesus live and he said in my tummy. We corrected him and said "no Jesus lives in your heart." "Where my heart is?" When I pointed to his heart he asked with a serious and confused look on his face... "Jesus live in my boooobs?" I DIED laughing. Before Keaton came along he had no idea what or where boooobs were. We said "Your heart is behind your boobs." Oh okay. He got that. I guess it's all about location! I love being a mom!!

4 weeks old!

This post is a week over due. Forgive my tardiness. Mr. Keaton, aka "Moose," is doing well. He is nursing like a champ. A little more than I would prefer actually. I feel like a cow with a baby calf constantly attached to me. Jeremy tried to get Landon to call me Elsie a couple of weeks ago. I put an immediate stop to that :) 

Keaton was 11 lbs. 6 oz. at his one month check up and he was 22 inches. Apparently he shrunk an inch at his one week check up so he has now gained that inch back. :) He is an absolute sweet baby and I could sit and snuggle with him all day. But he has an older brother so that doesn't happen!

Enjoy the cute pics!
