5 On Friday

1). No vacation planned for this weekend! While it'll be nice to be around home, it was also nice to get away for the last two weekends. Vacation may be a lot of work (before and after) but it sure is a lot of fun, too!

2). Chris the is proud owner of a brand new cell phone! New phone number, too - so if you're trying to reach him, call the house! His old cell phone ended up playing with trains in the bath tub. Chris swears it wasn't him and, well, Shane isn't talking!!!

3). Our girls (Kylee and Zoe - in case there was any doubt!) are the proud new owners of brand new dog beds!!! Both of their old beds ended up with a chocolate shake spilled all over them! Chris swears this wasn't him either and, well, Shane still isn't talking! Before getting the new beds, the girls didn't know whether they should go to sleep or try to eat their old ones! Thanks for picking them up, Grandma!

4). Shane has been BIG into trains lately! He gets so excited if we go under a train track, or if we happen to see a train (in person or in a book - doesn't matter) and he's REALLY started playing with his little train set a lot, too.

5). As big as the trains have become in our house, in NO way do they overtake his love of all things truck related! Trucks (and buses) are still his first love! I don't know how most toddlers pass the time on long road trips, but on the way up to the Cape, Shane spent most of his time waving and saying "Bye, Gee" or "Bye, bus" to each and every passing truck/bus on the highway! How tired do you think his little arm was by the time we finally sat down for lunch at The Skipper?!
