The Morgan's Movements 2018 {Week 8}

Last Monday was the premiere of Pinkalicious and Peteriffic. Mason had been looking forward to it so when he came home from speech, I had a snack ready for them and he watched the whole show. Let's be honest, Maddox was just in it for the snacks. 

  

Love him...

Mom was going through some pictures and sent me some. Yeah, we definitely favor. 

  

Cheeks...

When I got the boys dressed one morning I tried to snap a few pictures. Yeah, it went super well. As it does every time. 

We love the library and Maddox has finally stopped running the whole time so it's actually more enjoyable now! 

  

On our way our, Mr. Billy said he was getting rid of this hat and wanted Mason to have it. Mason was so excited! 

  

Ham bone! 

We LOVE to walk around Target on yucky and/or cold days. On this particular day, we were in Target for a long time while the boys looked at books. So. Many. Books. 

Again, great pictures. I mean, why!?! 

Storytime fun with friends is the best! Mrs. Kris is the coolest mom EVER! 

  

School time with Mason has been going incredibly well. He worked on some puzzles for his independent work on this day. 

Building with blocks has become fun, too! 

Mason said, we needed to put a sign about our great patterned roof. :) 

Storytime with Dad with cookies. Perfect! 

We went to the library and had some books to return. Mason wanted to read them on the way to the library. So it was a Morgan boy sandwich in the back seat. :) 

OH. THE. SWEET. NESS. 

Storytime! 

  

Oh boy...

Look at those legs!!! A bit of warm weather let those cute little legs come out! 

  

Hey! These pictures are pretty good! 

So much love! 

Matt took the boys to the park while I was at work and Maddox chose this "toy" to bring. 😂

Friday afternoon, I got off early so we all headed to Cleveland Park. It was a blast! 

  

Cutie. 

  

Maddox wanted to ride on this and all of the big kids started piling on and he never flinched. Rode it for the longest time. 

Yeah, they are peeking in on me while I'm in the bathroom. 

Mason got his buddy at basketball camp a monster truck to tell him congrats on being a big brother. I was so proud of him! 

Library time! 

So big! 

  

We all did some yard work on Saturday afternoon. I raked the big pile back together and the boys loaded them all up. 

  

Rest break! 

  

Keeping an eye on Daddy. 

  

We found a slug!! 

  

"Let's take a picture before church!"Yep, went perfectly! 

We had a fun week! 

A Very Happy Easter Prayer by Bonnie Rickner James {A Children's Book Review}

I'm trying not to add too many books to our collection right now since we have such an extensive library already and we have access to so many great books through the county library. Exceptions I make are holiday books. This sweet book, A Very Happy Easter Prayer, by Bonnie Rickner Jensen is a fun addition! 

I loved the illustrations in this book. Bright and colorful with some fun texture to them. I also really enjoyed that this book was a good mix of spring and Easter. Each page is a prayer to God thanking him for something related to spring and Easter. The boys have enjoyed reading this and I can see us reading it for much of the Spring and Easter season. 

I think this would be a great addition to an Easter basket for a child between birth and maybe 4/5. 

**I received this book for free from BookLook Bloggers.**

Maddox Says and Does {6}

I told Maddox that he was going on a date with Daddy and he so sweetly said "Date Da Da?!?" He was excited!

As I counted to three to have Maddox come to me, he says "One" and holds out his little finger. Yeah, super effective!

"Good Job!"

While watching luge, he started leaning back in his chairing went "WoooO!"

Maddox sat down on the couch the other day and said, "Show. Blanket." 😊

llama llama

have

go go 

Lots of two word phrases coming together now! 

Mason Says And Does {26}

While listening to music in the car, Mason begins describing different guitars and tells me "Here comes a guitar solo" and then explains what a guitar solo is. Yeah...he's been discussing music with his Daddy!

One morning we were getting ready to go to the grocery store and I asked Mason if he wanted to help me pick out groceries as he often does. His response: "No ma'am. I need a break from all of that grocery shopping" 😂

One afternoon, Matt was home for nap time and Mason gave him one of his stuffed animals, Stinky Face, to sleep with. Matt told him thank you but he didn't need him and Mason said, "But, Dad, I'm just trying to be nice!" Well, okay then!

Mason told his speech therapist about his favorite commercial from the Super Bowl. Describing to her the rhyming battle they had going on, etc. So cute.

"Did God make Donald Trump?"

"I Have another question. Why is Donald Trump president?"

Aye aye aye. I wasn't prepared that day! We have not discussed our feelings one way or another regarding the current president with Mason. This is based on his knowledge that Donald Trump is president. Man, his little brain is working!

While watching the Olympics: "Will he ever stop!?!"

Matt had a drink from QT and Mason asked, "Is that wine!?" 😂

"Oh my goodness gracious!"

He came to the desk one day and said, "I'm checking in. Mason Matthew Morgan. M A S O N"

We need to bring Maddox to monster truck jam when he's a kid. 😊

While at a friend's house, the song "Can't Stop the Feeling" comes on and Mason says: "This is my beat!" Yep, it sure is!

Mason made a new friend at the park the other day and we talked to him some, learned his name, etc. They played for the longest time together. The little boy was there with his grandfather who he called "Pop Pop". This is of significance because Mason also has a PopPop. Later on, Mason and I were discussing Nehemiah,  his playing with him, etc and Mason says, "He had a PopPop, too! But his PopPop was different than mine." I paused to see what he might say because Nehemiah and his PopPop were black and while we didn't point that out and had no reason to do so, I was curious what Mason would say. He continues on to say, "They were different because my PopPop has a hurt back and his didn't." I had never been prouder of him. We love all people fiercely and pray our boys do the same. We have read books about people of color and talked about how those of color have been mistreated at times, etc. I was so impressed that Mason continues to look past color or even not see it at all. I love him so.
