Spot

Today it rained all day and night, so we stayed in and read a million books over and over. At one point we took a break to go to the library to see if they had any “Spot” books, because all of a sudden Owen has a huge interest in Spot books. (They’re books about […]

Jon comes over

This afternoon the neighbor boy Jon stopped by after school. Often if he goes home and finds no one home he comes here to wait for his parents to get back home. He’s 11, and quite responsible and mature for his age. Owen loves him. They played with swords and with Owen’s Imaginext castle. […]

Magic meeting

We went to a meeting at City Hall today regarding a magic theater that’s going in almost directly across the street from our house. Some people want to buy the old funeral home there, convert it into a magic theater, as well as put in a magic library and magic store, and they want to […]

Bubble blowing

This evening the weather was nice, so we ate dinner out on the porch. Afterwards I pulled out a bunch of bubble blowing-related items…an alligator whose tail you blow through to make bubbles, a helicopter bubble blower, wands, etc. At first Owen was blowing hard (and often inhaling before blowing out), so he had a […]

Owen + Ian’s playdate

We invited Owen’s friend Ian over for the morning for a play date. It’s hilarious listening to them talk to each other. They played with swords, played with toys, had some snacks, and played some more. The only really bad moment (besides them both occasionally wanting the same toy at the same time) was when […]

Rubbing tummies

When Owen went down for his afternoon nap, he asked me, as he often does, if I’d rub his back and tummy. He raises his shirt and I rub him, and when he thinks I’m tiring of rubbing one side, he flips to the other so I won’t stop. He’ll do this over and over […]

Tuesday evening

When Owen got home from his dad’s tonight, he opened the gifts he’d gotten from my mom (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and my stepmom and dad (an Easter basket with candy and bubbles). He was very happy about all the presents. He had some more of his Easter candy he’d gotten Sunday, […]

Easter morning

This morning Owen found out the Easter Bunny had made an appearance the night before. He went downstairs, found a basket, a bunch of eggs, a letter from the Bunny (thanking him for the ‘bunny juice’ he’d left out for him), and a Scooby Doo fishing pole and tackle box.  He had a great time […]

Bunny juice

We had a great time tonight. First we played with Owen’s Imaginext toys for at least an hour, then played with Play-Doh for another hour (while eating dinner, which is no easy task), then we colored the recently hard-boiled eggs for Easter.
This was Owen’s first time coloring eggs. It was his first time understanding that […]

Pet store

We had to go get cat food today, so we went to the pet store in town. Owen loves the pet store…any pet store, for that matter. Every time we go inside, he has a ritual of things he needs to see. First fish, then birds, then all the small animals and reptiles. In the […]
