Happy Monday.....

We got back from Twin yesterday after a long car ride. Maddie pipes up in the back...."It's sinkin' hot in here" Words straight from my mouth....That kid makes me laugh! Well, they all do. Last week Aidan was walking around "shooting" things with the letter "T" from a puzzle, making a pssst sound a he did it. Ron walks in the door and Aidan runs to him, "Dad, look I got a pisser" Ron says "you have a WHAT???" "A PISSER...see dad...pssst, pssst" as he shoots him with the "T"!! I couldn't stop laughing!! I love that kids can make you laugh with such innocence!

Also, of note, Isaac is now crawling as of last Tuesday, offically!! Look out world, here he comes!!

Off we go.....

Away for the weekend. We are heading up to Idaho to visit some friends for the weekend. I love getting away like this, although my house suffers and all my "Saturday Chores" pile up for next week!! But, such is the small price to pay to relax!! I can't wait to leave!

I LOVE Nap Time!!

So Maddie stopped taking naps just after Aidan was born, when she was about 18 months old. Aidan seemed to have stopped just after he turned two, but has thankfully started again. Isaac, is of course, still napping. Staying home so much during the afternoon allows me to get the kids lunch and then put the boys down for their naps, and then Maddie and I either have quiet time too, take naps ourselves (well I do anyway) or we use the time to get things done!! Today is a get things done day and we are working on laundry!! I love that the boys sleep at the same time!! Makes things so nice in the afternoon around here!!

What do you make for dinner???

Do you have an old stand by for those days that you don't know what to make?? I am in a lull with dinners right now and I haven't a clue what to make. I try to do menu's but nothing is sounding good anymore. I have TONS of recipes, but I am not wanting any of those either....so what can I make for dinner?? Any suggestions??

Tis' The Season......

For Birthday Parties.....
I think 9 months ago began mating season for adults....every year this happens...summer seems to be the time for B-Day parties for every kid that lives anywhere near us. Madelyn didn't go to any all winter, then BAM....two in one week and at least one other comming up soon...that I am aware of right now. Madelyn's B-Day is in August....along with, get this...three other girls the same age as her. We as mothers, are going to try and do one party for all of them so that everyone doesn't have to spend every one of their Saturday's during the month of August trying to make it to all the B-Days parties for these little princesses....one party, four girls...sounds good, but we will see if it happens!!

One Car??

So we are busy trying to figure out if we can make it work with one car for a bit until either 1) I gt the Suburban that I want or 2) Ron gets a motorcycle that he wants. My guess it that I will win, because you can't ride a motorcycle in this state more then about 3 months out of the year, so yes, it is great on gas, but really, how practical would it be?? Not so much...... In the mean time, we are trying to sale his Cavalier (know anybody who wants to by a cheap car??)......the tags have expired, so he isn't driving it....but going back to one car is tough~!! I take it for granted when I have it and always seem to need it when I don't....So once again we will see how long we can make it. Last time we did this, it lasted only 3 months!!

Always Running around.....

I start my weeks with seemingly nothing to do, but as the week goes on, it fills up and fast! As of yesterday I had nothing to do this week, but get some fabric for a project next week. Easy enough, right?? Nope......so coming from nothing, today I end up.....meeting a friend to deliver something, meeting a different friend for lunch, picking up fabric, going to the bank, and dropping off some documents. Plus receiving my Scentcy order (YEAH!!) And all of that was between 12:30 and 4:00pm. So tomorrow I am watching a couple of my friend's children while she goes with DD #1 to maturation to listen to what the school thinks 4th graders need to know about abstinance ;/ working out, and then hopfully house stuff!! Thursday, watching some other kids for a few hours, and then nothing...Friday nothing - yet!! Although I do need to get to the library this week too!! Oh wait - Friday I have to go to the airport because my BIL comes home from his mission in Brazil!! So there's something...Saturday a B-Day party to go to. And sometime this week I need to get Ron's car sold!! I thought I wouldn't be busy, but I always am, it seems...does it ever stop?? I think it will only get worse as the kids get older.........and to top it all off, Isaac is so close to crawling!! Oh what a week this is going to be!!
