Super Harvest Moon!

Tonight I remembered that there was supposed to be a super harvest moon. I got Peyton out of bed and we went and looked at it. It was so bright. I grabbed the camera and took some pictures of it. Peyton has now seen his first rare occasion! The last time that there was a super harvest moon was in 1991 ( I was 10). There won't be another until 2029. It is amazing to think that the next time Peyton is able to see what we saw tonight he will be 22 years old.

                I was just thinking about the book Let Me Hold You Longer and I realized that there has been a very significant last for us. Peyton has been potty trained for a while now so it is nothing new, but when we started there was a song and dance. It was the Pee Pee dance. It went a little something like this, “Pee Pee dance, Pee Pee dance, Oh, Oh, Oh!” After he was done, we would sing this while we hopped and danced around. It was really cute watching Peyton do it and I didn’t realize until today that there is no more Pee Pee dance. It makes me kind of sad. I suppose I need to notice the lasts a little more because he is getting so big that they are going to be more and more.

                Today I printed out a tooth brushing calendar. I bought a new toothpaste to try and I think that this one might be the best so far. It is a new one by Burt’s Bees and it taste like orange. He seems to like the calendar and the idea of it so maybe we can do better with the tooth brushing issue. I guess we will see. I think that I may try a calendar for picking up toys if this one works. We have to figure out something!

                School has been going well. He still loves to go and he is bringing home the best pictures. They are on the letter “C”. I have been laminating them all and I have them in a special binder. I look forward to coming home on school days to see what my baby has made me. He said that he ate cupcakes yesterday because it was Zeke’s birthday. He had a goodie bag with candy and a little stuffed horse. It looked as though there was a cowboy theme. He told me that he does not like Immerson because she is mean and she wears dresses and he does not like her dresses. He said that she is supposed to wear pants. I thought that was pretty funny. One day he will like it when girls wear dresses! I hope that is a long time from now. I am not ready for the girl crazies just yet!

Tractor Pulls!

Friday night started a weekend of tractor pulls for us. Friday was the McClain County Free Fair. Peyton competed in the tractor pulls, but he didn't win. There were some small kids that the people running the pulls pushed a long so Peyton missed it by an inch to one of those small kids that got helped. He came in 4th out of 6 with 23 in. He missed 3rd by an inch.My poor baby was heart broken that he didn't get a trophy. When we were leaving he tried to go get one off the table. When he realized that he didn't get one he cried. So did his mama. I felt terrible. He said that he didn't have fun because he didn't win. David and I let him know that no matter the outcome, if he did his best that he is a winner because he tried. It didn't help either that he was tired and didn't have a nap all day that day.

Saturday he woke up telling us that he wanted to go to tractor pulls again. We weren't sure if we were going to take him since he was so upset the night before. We decided that we would since he enjoyed it. We went to the Cleveland County Tractor Pulls this time and it was organized much better than the one in Purcell. Peyton was one of 4, 4 year olds that competed. He came in 2nd with 12.3 inches! He won a trophy! We were/are so proud of him!

Peyton's Garden

Peyton has been growing a garden at Grandma's. He grew some beans, but they have gone through their cycle so he is now growing Millet (we think he accidentally raked all the millet away) and watermelon. He is so proud!

Tractor butts drive me nuts!!!

He's so darn sweet!

Silhouettes!

Peyton and I went out the other morning before work to snap and few pics. This is what we came back in with!

It's already September...

This year has gone by so fast. Peyton will be 4 in a month and then it will be Christmas. It is so amazing how the time goes by once you grow up.

Today was Peyton's day to take snacks to school. We went shopping and he chose Yoohoos and Cheezits. He was super excited when David took him to school. David told me that Peyton insisted on helping carry them all in. He wouldn't tell us anything about it though when we asked. He was tired by the time that I got home and fell asleep soon after. I will try and ask him again tomorrow and see if I can get anymore out of him. He did tell me the other day that he likes Addy, Tanner, and Tucker. He said that Immerson is mean because she slaps people. They are some of the kids in his class. 

Friday night we went to the mall and let Peyton play for a while and then went and ate at Chick-fil-a. He has a really good time there. I really like going there too. I love the fact that they put fresh flowers on the table. It makes you feel like they actually care and I think that they do.

David was telling me the other day that he and Peyton were driving around the pasture and K-9 was on top of a hay bale. Peyton said, "Look Daddy, K-9 is on top of the world!"
