Chh Chh Pow & Mike's Shadow

I apologize this post is a long time coming.  I am still in the lazy mode of the weekend and coming down from Gina's wedding.  I just haven't felt like doing much- other than working out of course (have to burn off the wedding cake and tort).  We ate left over wedding roast beef for like 4 days last week and had pizza one day.  I can't say I have ever been that un "Suzy Homemaker" but I just didn't have it in me to plan meals and cook.  So we had a quiet 4th of July weekend.  Thatcher ended up getting pink eye- or so the doctor says- no one else got it so I wonder if that was a correct diagnosis.  Regardless we stayed home for the most part. 
Thatcher and I went to Target to find a present for cousin Asher.  I had a Lightining McQueen car in the cart and Thatcher would not leave it alone.  Even after we got it home he was all over that toy so we just gave it to him.  I think the only other toy we have bought for him is a 99 cent ball so he was probably over due for it.  He loves this car it is his new buddy.  He pulls it all around the house wherever he goes.  I hear Chh Chh Pow all the time now.  Hey, at least I know where he is at now by the sound of the car. 

(Doesn't he look like such a big boy! Minus his shorts that look like pants)

We made a short trip to the park and Thatcher still loves the swings.  Mike was pushing him so high and the higher he got the louder he laughed. 

Mike worked out in the yard, smoked some deer meat and work on his four wheeler over the weekend.  Wherever Mike was Thatcher was following right behind him.  He would get Mike's tools and try to help fix the tires and the wheels.  He is definitely Mike's shadow and wants to do everything and be everywhere Mike is.  He is really into the mimic stage now where he tries to do everything that you are doing.

You still have to keep an eye on him though.  He can find trouble wherever he goes now days.
