Disappointed!

So I saw this family with a double stroller at the air show that I have NEVER seen before. I stalked them until I could approach them with the question "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!!!" I was so excited! It looked awesome, you could push or pull and the lady was telling me alll about it! You can even fit carseats in them for airplane travel. This would be PERFECT I thought! We are traveling to Disney World next April (my excitement is unbearable!!! this is my dream to go to WDW with my OWN kids!!!). So of course I have been researching it all night! Our double stroller now is used almost daily and needs to retire to the dumpster! It pulls to the right and doesn't evenly distribute all their weight! But after my research I found that it's more trouble than it's worth but I will be checking up on this to see if any corrections will be made to it! I was just so excited I had to include it on my blog!!

Birthday Fun!

Since I worked 8:30am-after 7pm on my birthday....I decided to celebrate with my babies today! I had woken up (6:40am-ugh but wide awake) starting to clean and planning my chores for the day...laundry, walmart shopping and bill paying. Then errrrrk! What am I thinking! We are just going to have a funday today!!!!!!! All play no work!

We started off at the gas station (hahaha I know the fun never ends in a small town). I didn't have any coffee (aka diet Pepsi Max) at home so I had to stop and get one! So I told the boys they could choose whatever they wanted. "What no water??" I'm sure their taste buds were thinking lol! Of course they choose some nasty blue sugary drink in a fun bottle! Then I decided very last minute to take them to the Air Show at the airport. SO WORTH IT!! Christy, you should def go!!! Just seeing everything through their eyes was priceless! All different kinds of airplanes put on all sorts of air shows, the motorcycles did stunts (be still Ashie's heart), we got to walk in all different kinds of planes from fed-ex to military planes, and course they had a neat kiddie area. It was well worth the 10 dollars, 20 minute wait to park, 30 minute bathroom line, scorching hot soon!

We then came home to fun in the sprinkler and washing the truck. Of course I was using a rag and soap on one side and I looked and the boys were using rags and muddy water for the other side....did I get one picture of any of this of course not ;-)

Freaky!

So everyone remembers our dear friend and former neighbor Minnie right? OK, so she calls me tonight and says that she just talked with her best friend. The best friends grandson's legs went out on him this weekend! Just like what happened to Asher in November! The doctors kept him in the hospital for 3 days and couldn't find anything wrong other than he couldn't walk!!!! Very werid.....

Azalea Fest Weekend

We had a GREAT tiome at Azalea fest this weekend! I met up with my girl Anita, whom I haven't seen in a while! We had a fun time walking through the street fair, braving the kiddie park and ending our search for some ever wanted ice-cream! I appreciate all her help with making sure the kids had fun despite their grump moods haha! Of course I put lotion on the kids and didn't on myself. I used to get away with this but having kids has changed my skin. So I'm sporting the sunglass, t-shirt, and flip flop burn!

I also found out that Aidan knows a lot more than I realized. I was loading things in the car when Aidan climbed into the driver's seat and grabbed my keys I had thrown into the seat. He chose the right key and started that baby right up! Didn't turn it over or anything!! I was shocked. So next time you see that three year old on the highway driving, please call me lol! He also can repeat every word to the Dora the Explorer DVD. Usually I use DVD time to clean, etc so I rarely sit down. But tonight I did and he spit out sentence after sentence before they said it. So two things I learned this weekend: 1. Keep keys out of site 2. Turn off the TV Bad mommy! lol

But tomorrow is back to work and I will miss them TERRIBLY!!!

Anita I stole these from your MS ;-)

First Day!

I AM POOPED LOL! Our day started at 5:30am. The kids were groggy but excited! I got them up at about 6:30am. OF COURSE for the past weekish they have been sleeping till 8:30am!! So this was an early rise for them! Work went great! I trained on a laptop alll day and, observed, and did some transactions myself. Pretty much same schedule all week. The kids seemed to love "Granny's". This woman looks nothing like a granny (prob in early 50's)! Aidan, my non-napper, took TWO naps!!! Asher my good napper, took zero! So Aidan was worn out and Ash was so excited he didn't want to sleep! lol But she said they were good, really good! I was like Huh? My kids?!!! lol! So that eased my mind a lot! I sure did miss them a lot but then again I sure did love being around adults!

So lunches are packed, clothes laid out for tomorrow, and soccer gear all bagged up. Another even longer day tomorrow! :-)

Never Turn Your Back on a 19 month old

(I don't know why in every picture I take, my house looks like a tornado hit and there are always some underwear on the floor hahaha)

FINALLY off the ba-ba

OK whew! I feel better! So tonight was FINALLY Ashie's first night off the bottle!! Today at naptime (which never happened) we threw away the ba-ba's and said good bye to them. I thought the big ceremony would help- no Super Nanny it didnt! He cried for two hours plus! Usually his bedtime isbetween 7 and 8pm. He is finally asleep at 10:50! Of course I try everything and he will not go to sleep. Mat comes home and puts him right to bed!!! Of course it was becuase all the crying wore him out! Right!? lol

Speaking of Mat and the kids. So today I had to go sign some papers at BB and T. Mat had gotten off early and was here to stay with the kids. It's been a looong time since he has been with the kids by himself lol. When I got home they had each others clothes on (put on by him), nothing REMOTELY matched, and Aidan was sleeping in the middle of the living room (which isnt out of the ordinary!). Oh this is going to be interesting! He is going to have to take a lot of the responsibility when I go back to work. He gets off earlier and on fridays he ususally gets off at about noon. So he's going to do all the picking up.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHY DON'T MY KIDS SLEEP ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I know they have spoiled me for so long!!!! No naps and its 10:09pm!! AHHHHHHHHHH

Hanging up the SAHM apron

:-( :-( :-( :-( I'm not looking forward to this but it's something that has to be done. We've cut back alot but cannot make it anymore on one income. So yes I am returning to the working world. Granted I am exicted about adult interaction and getting the kids socialize (which they VERY much need!!!) This all happened very fast but I am thankful to find a great in home daycare with a great price! I got offered the job at my interview. I am going to work at BB and T, starting on Monday. So I'll have my weekends and nights off! Tonight I'm depressed about it, tomorrow I'll be excited lol! Oh well, we will just take one day at a time! I think Aidan will be ok about it. I talk to him about it everyday and all day he asks if we are going to "school" now! Ashie on the other hand might have a panic attack! He does well at Play Date (the drop in child care I may use once a month or so when I'm in need!) but I don't think he is going to like this at first! Just keep us in your prayers as we make this new adjustment.
