Made a Liar

Wouldn't you know Luke made a liar out of me today...isn't that what kids do? You tell everyone how unruly your child is in church, but when you are there with the grandparents, your child is an angel. You tell everyone how your child throws fits when they don't get to eat RIGHT THIS MINUTE, but when you have guests over, your child is as patient as can be. Ah yes, your child will always make a liar out of you! Remember this post from the other day. Well check out the pics below!

He is actually eating real green beans!!! He wouldn't touch carrots or broccoli the other night, but the green beans were a hit tonight! He ate every last one! Yay!!!

Time to do some laundry!

Peas and Some Cheese

Let's start with the fact that Luke will not eat veggies at home unless they are pureed. He will eat them (most days) at Punky's for lunch, but not at home - EVER! I usually try a few times a week, but they go completely untouched on his plate. I mentioned this to the doctor at Luke's 15-month appt. and to others and everyone says, "Oh well, at least he is eating veggies even if they are pureed."

So...here is...pureed peas (I swear some does get in his mouth!) and some major cheese from Luke! (I would say "cheese!" and he would open his mouth and stick his tongue out - LOL!)

I love this pic :)

Sunday Walk

One tired little boy on our Sunday walk. He couldn't make it home without dozing off....

Children's Museum & The Clubhouse

We had a GREAT Saturday! It started off with no game and no practice for Wally so that meant a haircut and color for me. After quick trip to the grocery store and some lunch, we headed to the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville. Lukey had a great time exploring every inch of the museum. (Warning: picture overload)

Daddy was blowing the air in his face.

Check out that hair blowing!

Water time!

Checking out the lights

How many Lukey's are there????

Hey girl, you wanna ride???

We left the museum just before 4 and Luke was all tuckered out! (Look at those dreamy lashes :) )

Wally and I lived in Woodridge for a few years before moving to our home in Monee. We really did love living in that area. We had downtown Naperville and downtown Downer's Grove on either side of us. There was so much to do! Here is good old Double Eagle Drive and our old apartment right on Seven Bridges golf course.

As Lukey slept in the back seat, Wally and I drove around to see what is new and reminisced a bit. We had some really great times up there when Luke was just a glimmer in our eye.

We would have really loved to go to our old church, St. Mary's in Naperville, but the mass was at 5 and after our driving around we ended up in downtown Downer's Grove around 5 so we decided to go to St. Joe's Church there. We walked in and wouldn't you know it, it was First Communion....so...since the church wasn't too big, we thought it would be best to just sit in the crying room so we didn't take up room for the families. Well, the crying room filled up very quickly with other families. I WISH I could have videotaped that room. Wow!!!! Talk about a lot of crying, crazy kids. I know I am bias, but I swear I am being completely honest when I say that Luke was the most well-behaved kid in the room. He just kind of watched all the other kids, at one point he was so close to going to give a hug to a little boy who was very upset. He picked up some toys that were dropped and waved to everyone. It was the craziest mass we have ever been to.

After mass, we headed to our favorite restaurant - The Clubhouse in Oak Brook. I was first introduced to it when I interviewed for my first job out of college. This is where they brought me for lunch. I loved it so much that I had to take Wally there. He loved it too and we have been fans for almost 6 years now!!! And it seems that Luke loved it as well. He did so good there and enjoyed the little plate of crackers, oranges, and bananas they brought out for him.

We had a really fun day - all 3 of us!
