Gunnar Week Day Six: Lowe's

I slept in today until 10:00am. That is unheard of. I also didn't really go to sleep until about 4:00am (heartburn, indigestion, swollen body...etc.). I woke up to a still house and remembered that for day six of Gunnar Week Jaren planned on taking Gunnar to Lowe's for this monthly "build and grow" activity hour they have.

The kids get to run around with drills, saws, powertools, and hazardous paint thining elixirs. All under adult supervision mind you. ;)Today's project couldn't have been more appropriate for our little builder or for his week. The objective: to build a pirate ship, complete with plank and sail.

While they got down to business constructing their little vessel, I slumbered away heartily in my captain's cabin. When they got home, my husband, being his handy self and knowing our son well, starting water proofing the small ship. They caulked it, primed it, and then painted it, sail and all.

I LOVED his thematic dress. Well done J!!

I don't have a picture of the finished product. I took off for a party before it was completed. Maybe I will run an update on that tomorrow. ;) It is probably snuggled in bed with him. What I love most about it? That Gun and J made it together and that he got so excited when Jaren told him it was time for another coat of paint. He loves his dad so much. He especially loves "helping" with anything Jaren is doing. It is sweet to see them work together. Today was a perfect addition to Gunnar Week.

I love you little worker bee!!

Tomorrow...someone special is coming to cap off Gunnar Week! Until then- xoxo Kam

This Just In: A Gunnar Week Exclusive

Because it is his week, and because he is only in the backyard working with his dad(fertilizing for sod...yipeeee! Which is coming next week...), and because I am too lazy, too swollen, too tired, and too heartburny-acid refluxy to care, Gunnar is out back wearing...his underwear and his boots.

That's all I got before it was time to get back to work.

Gunnar Week Day Five: Here and There, Here and There

Today we went here. Not at the request of G, but because we had to. Thing is, he doesn't care. He actually really likes it there.

Then we went here. Gunnar really likes it there.

This is all that was left of lunch. Apparently we were both, "Lovin' It."

Then we headed here. We both like it there. It makes me feel smart.

This is what we came home with: a mountain of literature.

Then we came home. I am regreting it now because he is being needy and complainy, but I allowed Gunnar to get out of his nap today to have a movie afternoon. It's his week...but it will be my night because he is going to bed early tonight...

Gunnar Week continues tomorrow with some coverage from Dad. :) J and G are spending some time together so I can try and get some things done.
