A date with my little man

Today Mateo and I had a "Teo and Mommy day". Something he loves. Me and all my attention all focused on just him.

We started it with haircuts for both of us. Mine cause I needed it and him,

a fresh do for school.

Then we went to Black Bear Diner for pancakes. A new favorite for him (yes, you will see this again in tomorrows post as it's where he picked to go for his 1st day of school dinner too). He had yummy chocolate chip pancakes, and I had a cubs meal, yummy.

Followed by yummy dessert.

Then to the grocery store to buy stuff for lunch.

A whole new concept, eating lunch at school every day.

Super fun time spent together and may need to incorporate this into a monthly routine.

(Don't worry, Marco and I will have our Marco and Mommy time on a daily basis

while Teo is in school).

State Fair

Last year we went to the State Fair for the 1st time. After that we said we would make it a yearly tradition (only downside, the heat....bleh). This year I chose that date to be a Tuesday. Initially I chose it because Choo Choo Soul from playhouse disney was going to be there and I new the boys would love it. Then I thought it sounded like a good idea cuz it was a weekday and might not be as crowded. Well, I was WRONG...who knew that Tuesdays are kids get in free days at the fair along with $1 rides. Well apparently the rest of the state! Because let me tell you, they were ALL there! Some lines were longer waits then Disneyland... Really??

Well it ended up that daddy couldn't get it off and had to work, so the boys and I headed up with our good friends and had a great time...despite the crowd.

I know Mateo was a little in awe with the show. Mainly because he has only seen them on TV and was a little surprised to see them in real life~!

The kids rode a pony (not Marco tho, poor little guy, still too small). Played with hay, pet fish and turtles, almost got to watch a cow deliver a calf (still got to see a new calf tho), ride rides, and eat yummy fair food. All leading up to some very tired children!!

Working on trees with daddy

Mateo has been wanting to work on trees with Daddy. So daddy let him pick out a tree that would be just his. One he gets to work on, trim, water, take care of etc. And spend time with daddy doing it. He had so much fun and loved showing off what he could do~!

The before

Real concentration

This is serious business
