The Goodman Times

We had Greg’s annual company picnic on Friday.  What was once a small picnic, is now quite the affair!  Between the company expanding (and most of the employees having children), it really has been neat to see SAVO continuously grow over the years.

Joey had a blast playing “catch” with Greg!  They practiced spiking the football, too!

I think Greg was happy to miss out on the water balloon toss for one more year, as everyone ends up soaking wet!

Water balloon toss- our version

Joey wasn’t comfortable bouncing, but he had a great watching (and watching Greg run into it and bounce off).

Imitating Cookie Monster

I wish I had a video camera following me this afternoon.  I’ll never be able to fully explain what happened, but I’m gonna try!

The day started off great!  Jessie, Hollie and I visited Sarah and topped off our trip up north with lunch at Michael’s.  Bubbie called as we were leaving to tell me she had picked me up a cute pair of shoes so I met her in the Sak’s lot to make the exchange.  By this time, the rain had picked up from a drizzle to a “light rain”.  While I was trying on the shoes (in the car), Joey managed to crawl halfway out of his seat to try and get to Bubbie.  I turned off the car in the middle of the lot to put him back in his chair.  We said our goodbyes but quickly figured out that I couldn’t find my keys.  50 minutes later (and after a call t0 Lexus and my husband), I finally found the keys in a bag of clothing.  Needless to say, I was soaking wet.  By this time, Bubbie had taken Joey in to Sak’s to keep him dry.

I met them upstairs in the club and found Joey running around barefoot eating cookies while the seamstress was fitting Bubbie.  I tried to do a diaper change and get him out of his wet clothes, but he managed to sneak away (butt naked) and run down the halls (with a cookie in each hand). He did make a stop, just long enough to pee in the corner of the dressing room.  Fortunately, I caught up to him just as he was squatting to poop.  None of us could stop laughing (including Joey), but I was SO embarrassed!

Running around WITH diaper

After getting him in dry clothes, we headed downstairs only to discover the monsoon outside.  I decided NOT to wait for the rain to settle down (because I was already pretty wet).  Getting Joey in the car must have been a sight.  He thought the downpour was hilarious (and I couldn’t stop laughing at him laughing) so by the time I got him belted in, he was soaked and there was a bucket of water in the bottom of his stroller.

I was more wet than if I had just stepped out of the shower…

Joey was out cold by the time I pulled out of the lot.  I drove downtown with the heat blasting the entire way!

Biting Mom is SOOO funny

Joey climbs on just about anything these days.  His new favorite is to climb from the couch to the end table and jump!
