Fun Times with Dinosaurs

This weekend was another fun one in the lives of the Reeses.  On Friday night, we took Evan's favorite teacher, Ms. Carol, out to eat so she and Evan could spend time together before she moves away.  He is really going to miss her!  He has loved her since his days in the infant room, and he will always be her "snooka wooka."  We gave her a cute little framed picture of her and Evan together to remember him by.  At dinner, Evan started running a little fever (he had played outside in the heat at school and had gotten wet during water play).  He didn't want to eat and just wanted to lay his head down and close his eyes so Ms. Carol cuddled him and rocked him to sleep.  Awww!


On Saturday, Evan still wasn't feeling totally up to par, but we had promised him we would go see Toy Story 3 (the Woody movie).  He has watched the first two movies and loves them.  He has a little stuffed "Rex" (the dinosaur toy from the movie) that he has been sleeping with and just doing everything with lately.  "Rexy" had to go with us to the movies, of course!  We all enjoyed the movie and thought it sweetly portrayed the joy of little boyhood.  Andy's imagination is reminding us more and more of Evan's.  Read to the bottom of this post, and you will get a taste of that imagination.

Today, we kept Evan home from church because of his fever.  We were scheduled to do nursery duty (and actually recalled that we had it last year on Father's Day which was also our anniversary).  I braved the duty alone and was very glad I did.  A couple of parents didn't show for their duty, but I had 5 of the cutest little toddlers.  They were so good.  I also had a good helper...the nursery director! 

Here are some of the pictures from our fun weekend:

Poor little baby doesn't feel well.  :-(



But Ms. Carol will make it all better!

Oh no, dinosaur fight!
