Sneaky Giant Kisses

My kids at school are so sweet and loaded me up with mountains of chocolate for Valentine's Day.  After giving as much of it away as I could, I brought a few of the bigger (and better) things home.  I had them on the island until I could figure out what to do with it all.
Fast forward to Saturday morning when I was on an important phone call with the insurance company, which is never an easy or quick call.  I heard Logan making all kids of noise and I may have heard a box opening, but to be honest I was more concerned with the man on the phone.  After realizing Logan was being a little too quiet, I walked into the dining room to find that he had carefully opened and unwrapped a GIANT chocolate kiss.  Not only was he holding it like it was gold, but he had taken a good hunk out of the top and was not afraid to show me.  Through my giggles and mental meltdown thinking about his chocolate covered hands, and trying to get the heck off the phone, I grabbed my camera and snapped this pictures.  Then, I spend the next twenty minutes trying to explain to my crying toddler why he could not continue with his adorable, but naughty activity. 

See the evidence on the table?  

My Big Helper

We got to pick up my niece, Shiloh, last week and keep her for the day when I was off of school.  Logan loves babies, especially, Baby Shiloh.  He spent a good part of the day giving her hugs and kisses. 

He was such a big helper with getting her snacks, toys and of course the diapers.  He really wanted to change her diaper all by himself.  Luckily I had the camera close by to catch this.  Look how sweet.  (I love how he calls her Shi Shi)

The Greatest Show on Earth

Monday, I had the day off a school and a 50% off coupon to the Ringling Bros. circus that was burning a hole in my pocket.  So, Chris and I met Brian and Daniel and decided to make a day of it.  Logan was beyond excited and actually went to bed Sunday night talking about going to the circus the next day.  Chris and I were giggling as he was talking to himself in bed saying, "Go to circus? Yes, we go to circus."  I woke him up Monday morning, thinking he might not remember us talking about it, but the first words out of his mouth were, "Go to circus, Mom?".  I recorded this video during breakfast.

We arrived early since we had to buy our tickets there and we wanted to see the pre-show, but we actually were a little to early and had to kill an hour with 10,000 other people in the food court of the CNN Center. 

Luckily, a little Chick-Fil-A icedream and iPhone kept them pretty busy and their excitement (somewhat) contained. 

We finally made it into the circus and despite the crazy crowds we were able to see a little of the up close action.  The boys preferred stadium seating and the daddies were happy to provide.  :)

It's a little hard to see, but this is a elephant making a basket!  Logan LOVED the elephants.  

The boys enjoying there $6.00 drinks!  Yikes!

 

Logan's first trip to the circus!  He's already asking about when we can go back.  

 And....passed out!
