<br />
so, the other day he hid mich's iPod. we looked for it for two days. I always tell mich to put it in the little pouch I made for him when it's charging and leave it up on the counter. he never does. the last we saw it, it was sitting on the arm of the couch. I meant to pick it up but didn't. then it was gone. after two days, we were thinking ok it's really gone. so we lifted furniture, dug in couches, looked in baskets and through toys. <br />
<br />
...and then we asked Owen. he had NO idea. and then we asked again and he said, "ok, retrace my steps." he went on this big long tangent of places he went and things he did. it led us to the NASCAR bowl on mich's hutch. Owen said, "well, Michael, now you know that you should put your iPod away when you're not using it." that little stinker.<br />
<br />
but he's right! taught his bub a lesson--for about 18 hours; the iPod is sitting on the edge of the coffee table. <br />

<br />
let's see...I put chocolate chips in my protein shake this morning (cheater). Owen tried to roll up his jeans because he thought they were supposed to be shorts and were just too long. I heard him say, "oh gosh. these are too long." he's a funny little dude. <br />
<br />
last night was trunk or treat at Owen's school so we grabbed us a bag full of candy then went to Nizza pizza for some pie and a slice of cheesecake. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YPLKbU624ew/TqlNZ_icQXI/AAAAAAAAE-U/lYPu6usE9LU/s640/blogger-image--1966371927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YPLKbU624ew/TqlNZ_icQXI/AAAAAAAAE-U/lYPu6usE9LU/s640/blogger-image--1966371927.jpg" /></a></div>liz matarazahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13871036390362296629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800305922913459695.post-22149940643463513942011-10-25T07:23:00.001-05:002011-10-25T07:23:22.442-05:00watch out Gotham...Lego Batman is here! Owen's Halloween costume. he loves it! and so do I. super cute. <br />
<br />
supplies:<br />
pizza box (thank you Nizza Pizza...yummy)<br />
black material (about 2x3)<br />
3 pieces black felt<br />
1 sheet each yellow and black cardstock<br />
1 roll yellow Duck brand duct tape<br />
for head...1 large sheet of pliable, corrugated cardboard (so that you can roll it easily) and several pieces heavier cardboard to reinforce head. <br />
<br />
I googled for the batman logo and traced and cut. <br />
<br />
super easy probably 2.5 hours total. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Pj1RPLKJpL8/TqaqORuW42I/AAAAAAAAE-M/FMRNs47BEL8/s640/blogger-image-807349344.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Pj1RPLKJpL8/TqaqORuW42I/AAAAAAAAE-M/FMRNs47BEL8/s640/blogger-image-807349344.jpg" /></a></div>liz matarazahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13871036390362296629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800305922913459695.post-51960398336398952642011-10-23T14:41:00.001-05:002011-10-23T14:51:59.515-05:00oh my goodness!blogger finally has an app so I can now blog from my phone.
