This is new

Well, this is a first. Never "blogged" before. Must say, I was inspired by Trish and Al. Maybe just jealous that the whole internet was getting to see Matt and Josh and missing out on Mason!

Tonight we are batteling the ever "go to bed" bug. He will not go to sleep...bed time...nap time...ever. Usually by 9:30 or 10:00p.m. Would you lay in the dark for 1 1/2-2 hours talking to yourself ? Mason is a full believer in it...every night.

Poor Amber had to go to Julie's house, Mason's sitter, and spank him today at nap time because he was keeping all the other children awake. Broke her heart, but she was proud of herself when he laid right down and went to sleep afterward. He is a hard headed "buggabugga," one of HIS favorite words.

He is very independent, but wants you there to watch...just in case. We spend hours playing with our Thomas train set and in the rocks in the flowerbed outside our back door. If I knew he loved the rocks so much, I would have done the whole yard that way...then daddy wouldn't have to mow!

We are supposed to go to the "pumpkin patch" on Saturday. He is very excited about that. He has a fixation about pumpkins due to the pumpkin farmers on his tractor video. He also has a fixation about tractors, but who can resist that beautiful green paint with the yellow plush seat?

I will look forward to sharing with you all. You will just have to excuse my typographical errors and poor spelling. Maybe Mason will take after his mother and be much better at those things than his father :-).
