Cedarwood Back to School Picnic

Gavin had his back to school picnic this evening. We went to it last year with my Dad and had a blast but this year it was just us 3. My Dad has been in Brazil for the past 2 weeks and comes back to Louisiana this weekend. We've missed him! After some yummy hot dogs and pulled BBQ pork sandwhiches, we enjoyed all the fun activities.

Getting a blue spider painted on his face. 

Decorating cookies.

Playing at the duck pond.

"I caught the blue duck!" By the way, Gavin's favorite color is blue (hence, Go Cats) even though sometimes he says I like Daddy's team, aka Go Cards. But lately, Gavin likes to be different and says Go Jets. He's confused.....and so are we.

He was really good at hula-hooping! He's got the twisting down but needs more of a waist, haha!

Go Gavin, Go Gavin!

I saw this and thought of Gavin's best friend/girlfriend, Addison. We thought you would like this Addie! It won first place.

St. Tammany Parish Fair

On Saturday evening for a few hours we decided to see what the Parish Fair was all about. It was definetly exciting for Gavin! He had a lot of fun seeing all the animals (especially the rooster's who would "talk" back to him), ride the ponies and the other thrilling rides. Gavin's favorite ride was the Elephant's because he could control how high he wanted to go! With our last tickets Gavin had to make the decision on whether he wanted to ride the mini rollercoaster or the "apples" (aka the strawberries) and of course, Gavin chose the strawberries that spin. I was so glad we were not in the strawberries with other people because I probably would have gotten sick from spinning! haha!

Grillin' Buddies

Pizza Party

My mom's last night in town we had a pizza party. We all made our own pizzas! Gavin was so happy to make one all by himself.

Slides, Swings and Sand

On the Tuesday after Gavin's birthday (my mom's last day in town...sad) we started the morning off by getting donuts at the Mandeville Bake Shop across from our house then we went to Kids Konnection Playground. The playground was built by a bunch of mom's who have children with disabilities. It is a handicap accessible playground that enables all children and adults with and without special needs and their families to play.

As my mom was standing up after she went through the tunnel, she bumped her head on that pole above the tunnel. Even though she had a big knot on her head, we both were laughing hysterically. Not long after, I did the same exact thing just at a different spot.

Gavin's thinking, "Mee-Maw you don't fit, let's get off". Haha!
