3/21

Hey, do you all remember Harper???



You know, this little nugget...

 

That is right, the rock star that had open heart surgery at 4 months and barely cried?!?  Yeah, she also has Down syndrome.

Today, 3/21, is World Down Syndrome Day to celebrate all those extra specials with 3 number 21 chromosomes and their families.  Tonight, I attended a MADSS (Madison Area Down Syndrome Society) event with my friend and Harper's Mama, Kaiti.  (thanks Gramma Subes for watching Sully! and thanks Andy for being out of town so I could go!)  It is an organization that you can turn to for information and support for individuals with Ds and their families.  It is a great organization and I am so happy it exists.  So we mingled (a little), watched videos (tear tear) and celebrated with some drinks.

Cheers, it's a happy day!!

Giggle boys

As I was getting ready for work this morning, the hubs and the little Mister were having a giggle fest in the kitchen.  Next thing I know, the hubs is running up the stairs with the camera to show me what was so funny...

They seriously kill me...

In other news, I put up our screen house up on our deck and strung the party lights.  Now we just have to have a party...

Here is the view from the patio door.

And look at these toddler ties I whipped up.  Are you kidding me???

Pinterest strikes again!

Because...

Weekends are da bomb.  I look forward to them all week.  It has been over 3 years since I have had to work a weekend and I don't miss it one bit.  Weekends are heaven.

Because sometimes he proves he can sleep in public...

Eye lashes of an angel.

Because our weekend footwear is comfy and casual...

Because sometimes you see a Leprechaun...

 Because it is always someone's first parade...

 

 Just a little dazed after waking up to find himself at a St Patty's day parade with his Auntie Hilary and cousins.

In awe.

Because putting clips and ponytails in a boy's hair is funny...

Because sometimes you get to drink green beer...



Because some Sundays you don't make it out of your pajamas...

Because sometimes it is 80 degrees in WI in mid-March...

Cutest flipping shoes on the planet!!

Because sometimes all you need is a bucket of water, a shovel and some tennis balls to have crazy fun...

 

 Because swimming in your pajamas with your shoes on is cool...

Because playing fetch with your dog is hilarious...

Because one can never have too many balls...

Because we are wearing flip-flops in mid-March...

 Because a farmer's work is never done...

Because all that farming makes a boy thirsty...

  Dramatic drinker.


Lovin' weekends!
