Return of the Spatula...
Levi continues to seek out the spatula from the utensil drawer... (it really is uncanny how he can pick it out by touch alone, sight unseen!) It is turning up in more and more places. Yesterday he refused to get in the car without it and today I caught him trying to stuff it in the dryer... who knew a boy and his spatula would be so hard to separate?

The insides!
View from the front door looking in- stairs to your left, study to the right, and family room beyond.
Looking from the slider, into the kitchen, at the island.
Looking from the back corner of the kitchen, out onto the "island" and then into the family room and eating area.
Eating area, beyond the island.

View from the back bedroom window. It's a bit hazy, but we actually have mountain views

Looking from the garage in
Kids standing on our porch, which isn't yet finished- they couldn't come in yet, since it's considered a safety hazard

At this point, we ran out of memory, so we will have to get pictures of the master bedroom later...also, sorry some of them are a bit fuzzy- that's what a camera phone does every now and then.

My Boy and his Spatula...
Some kids cling to teddy bears or blankets or pacifiers- but not MY son. He couldn't be persuaded to be interested in such common items. No, my son prefers his SPATULA.
He is just tall enough to open the cupboard drawer, feel around and grab the spatula out. It truly is amazing to watch, seeing whereas he isn't even tall enough to see what he's grabbing. For what ever reason he has taken a liking to this utensil and I have found it all over my house. It's kind of like the kitchen utensil version of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" except it is "Where in the World has Levi hid my Spatula?"

It's kind of like the kitchen utensil version of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" except it is "Where in the World has Levi hid my Spatula?"
I have found it in my bed, under his bed, in the toy bins, and in the couch cushions to name a few of his favorite hiding spots.
Today I even caught him "strumming" the spatula like most boys strum their air guitars. (I got a good laugh out of that one!)
Caleb's Bedtime Vocabulary Lesson...
CALEB: I'm tired.
MATT: It's a good thing it's bedtime then, huh? And since tomorrow is Saturday you might even try sleeping in a bit, maybe like 'til 7 even.
(For those of you who don't know-our kids are very early risers- 6 to 6:30 is normal for them, even on the weekends...)
JULIE: Just sleep until you're ready to get up honey... you can still sleep even if Aaron gets up.
(Aaron tends to get up at the crack of dawn and then wants everyone up with him...)
CALEB: I just can't, Mom! Aaron always "VINCES" me to get up with him!
(I admit that it took a sec to realize that "vinces" is really short for CONVINCES... oh how I love that kid!)
