Ten

1. Its an awfully blustery day again here. As they say in "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day": HAPPY WINDS-DAY!

2. The Fashion Police called Wednesday morning. Camo pants, a baby blue shirt with a puppy on it, and Nike tennis shoes? I’ll give you one guess who was responsible for dressing the kiddo that morning.

Lucky for Kendry, camo is essentially a wardrobe staple around these parts. You can pair it with just about any piece of apparel from your closet and no one in this town will give you a second glance.

By the way, thanks for the camo pants, Grandma. They fit him really cute!

3. On the way to daycare on Wednesday morning Kendry and I saw a car with two inches of snow on it. What on earth?! Its nearly May, people!

4. The Gimlin Home Improvement Project of 2010 is painting the exterior of the house...by ourselves. Justin is getting a few bids to see exactly what it would cost to hire somone, but chances are we'll be rolling up our sleeves in the next month or so and taking on the project sans professionals. If you have any tips/suggestions for us, please feel free to share them.

5. It seems like Kendry amazes us each day with something new he can accomplish on his own. This last weekend it was climbing into and sitting down in his little rocking chair (aka Grandpa Richard’s childhood rocking chair) all by himself. You’re looking at one proud little kiddo.

And then the pride took a huge hit with the botched attempt to climb back down. SPLAT! No children were harmed in the filming of this event, folks. Surely rug burns on your nose don’t hurt that bad, do they? (And don't call me Shirley!)

6. HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, PAXTON!!

7. With only two months until our Alaska trip, Justin and I started brainstorming our flight strategy for Kendry the other night. Bring the carseat? Bring a stroller? Crush up some dramamine and sneak it into Kendry's juice cup before the flight? The fact that our kiddo has no desire to sit still these days has me more than a little worried about keeping him tethered for 3.5 hours at 30,000 feet.

8. I'm pretty sure I am WAY overdue for seeing a chick flick by myself at the theater. Good thing the summer movie season is almost upon us.

9. To make or to buy? That is the question. The Supermom in me wants to tackle the very first birthday cake myself - we all know how much I LOVE to bake! But my practical side says to outsource this task. Supermom may already have her hands more than full with the setup and decorations. One more week to decide.

10. I'm thinking to do an amateur 1 year old photo shoot with Kendry on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully I'll have some neat pics to share with you next week.
