Pee, Poop & Streaking...

Yep, again you have read that right.... So I had every intention of writing about this past weekend tonight, but tonight was full of much better details.... So here is how it went.

Got home, had dinner, was cleaning up and Braydon asked to play on the deck, so I said sure. So I peak out after a few minutes and there he is pulling his pants up... He had peed down the stairs of the deck! So I got that rinsed off and talked to him about coming in to use the bathroom....

So a few minutes later he wanted to go down and play in the yard, so I said sure... & Again peaked out, and this time he is holding a little different pose and a 'frozen' face... "What are you doing?" I hollered at him... He just stood there, so I asked again, he finally yelled back very definite "I'm pooping!" and then yep, there it was.... Yeah - Another lesson to work on with the three year old - Where to poop!

OK - So his bodily functions done and taken care of, I thought he would be fine out in the yard.... I keep peaking out and he is in his sandbox, or in the grass playing with his train, back to the sandbox, etc.... Then my phone rings - My neighbor - "Does the word Streaker mean anything to you?" OH You have to be kidding me!!! Well there he was, not even two minutes after I checked on him, naked as a jay bird at the back faucet, playing in the water....

So we had one fun and entertaining evening, Now I hope you have enjoyed it too! I did snap some pictures of the jaybird enjoy!

Eighty-Eight, Eighty-Eight, Eighty, Eighty, Eighty, Eighty, Eeeiiiiighty-Eight!

That was the chant at pep assemblies while in High School.... Each class yelling out their graduating year, the older group, the louder they were, and yes, in 1988, we the Senior Class were LOUD!

Twenty years later and we are still a loud group! I learned this over the past weekend at our high school reunion activities. The reunion committee planned a fun filled weekend and it was fun to catch up with a lot of class mates that for some reason or another I lost contact with over the years (and some of them right from graduation day, pretty sad!)

So Friday night there was a meet and greet at Tanners in Platte City; which is owned by a classmate and her husband. For Saturday they planned an event at The Deuce at The National’s Golf Club in Parkville MO. Then on Sunday a tour of the school (Oak Park HS) and a family picnic at Oak Grove Park.

Out of a class of over 500, there were just over 100 pre-paid for Saturday night’s event, so they were not expecting too many to show up all weekend... Well to start off with at Tanners, they only staffed for a turn out of around 50 to 75 and there ended up being well over 150 there, which was where I learned that we are still a loud group. Then on Saturday night, they had the pre-paid and another 64 pay at the door for a turn out of over 200. Sunday was the smallest turn out of the whole weekend, but after the partying that happened on Fri & Sat, I was actually not too surprised.

I also got to reconnect in a smaller non-formal get-togethers with the following classmates which was a blast! Jason Snitker, Lisa Mall, Mellisa Crawford, Laura Watilo, Diane Niemeck, Lindy Williams and Rhonda Hott. On Saturday afternoon, we met at Brookside neighborhood pool (in Gladstone) and on Sunday afternoon we gathered at Lisa Mall & Hubby Steve’s house in the Northland and had Mexican food and Margarita’s (which were YUMMY!!!).

Now another thing that is cool from another alumni student from OP is that he has created an OP History website and has taken the yearbooks from over the history of the school and scanned pictures in... It is a fun site to look at; if you want to laugh at the styles over the years take a look: Oak Park History You will see me thru the 84-85 to 87-88 pictures here and there.... I was in all of the Bands thru all four years. I was on the Cambia(our yearbook) Staff in 87-88. In 85-86 I was a pep-club leader.....

Picture time! (you can open the pictures larger within photobucket and scroll thru all of them if you would like)

Sunrise this morning

OK - I know, not the greatest picture I have captured, but cool anyway... Coming into work this morning the sunrise was just gorgeous... So the only camera I had was my cell phone. So what I snapped just happened to be right when I went past our church (Northland Cathedral)... When I got to work and was looking at it, just a cool picture of a wonderful sunrise beaming down from the heavens onto the church.... Just a breathtaking moment, even in low quality!

Dog Tired

Came to our room in the midst of the night... landed on our comforter and was sound asleep...

Can you put your foot in YOUR mouth?

Well Braydon Can... So finding this out went like this: Friday night he ran downstairs, hollared "Mommy, can you put your foot in your mouth?" "Nope, sure can't. Can You?", "Yes", "Well show me - WoW - Wait, Let me take a picture!" "OK" Snap-Snap-Snap - Enjoy....

He has done it! & More.....

Well, here I was thinking that it would be another few months or even longer before Braydon hit the overnight milestone of no accidents.... Well, he proved me WRONG!!! and with in the week of going dry during the day he also has gone dry at night since then too!!! So LONG diapers!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!

Now for the funny - On Friday Doug & Braydon were out back working and playing (respectfully) and Doug came over to tell Braydon to go inside to potty, he said nope, that he just went in the rocks..... Late Sunday afternoon, we were out front unloading the car from our Springfield trip (more later on this), and Braydon was down on the sidewalk riding his bike, I happened to look over to him and he was off his bike, standing on the sidewalk facing the street and pulling his pants up. I asked him - Did you just go potty? "Yep" he replied. TOO FUNNY!! So we have the pottying down, now we just have to work on where it is appropriate going, because in front at the sidewalk, is not it! But he did have us laughing quite hard!
