Fun in the sun
Well today Acadianamoms.com had a big birthday bash. It was just so much fun. Guy # 2 is so filthy that I wasn't sure I had a kid anymore. He is being a veggie on the couch. We had a blast. Thanks to my friends for helping watch my guys. They are a hoot.
It felt like a rat race to get to the park. I knew I wanted to pick up fruit and veggie trays. But which store would be closest. So we opted for Albertson's on South college and Johnston. MAN oh MAN I wish I would have made the trays now. I mean I could bought the stuff at the produce store and made it cheaper. But, I am too lazy to do it so I bought the already packaged. And that darn veggie try was making me crazy.
I had to strip down guy # 3 because he hates to be hot. He ended up being in a onesie with no socks and shoes with a mouth covered in chocolate and strawberries. Thanks Mrs. Carlie for the strawberries!
I think everyone had a blast. Guy# 3 fell asleep before we even drove out of the park and guy# 2 well he is coming off of the bubble, frisbee, park, ice cream, and drink high and hopefully will crash to the sound of the rain falling on the roof.
I'll post more later.. I need to go do the dishes I left this morning and wash some clothes. Guy # 1 just left for work so it's time to get in mommy housewife gear. BLAHHHH I hate house work!

Good hearing and a classic returns
Ok so I know I said I was going to post some more words last night, but boy was it a long day.
As I said we started out our day early. For some reason guy #3 thinks that when he sees light it's time to rise and shine or in his case be LOUD! Guy#3 and I have breakfast and wait for guy # 2 to wake and have his breakfast.
Once guy#2 wakes he decides he doesn't want breakfast. Being that he looks like we starve him I told him since I needed a caffeine fix I would get him something to eat at Burger King. All he wanted was hash browns so a nice order from the $1 menu was great. First we had to travel to our church to get a paper signed to say we were members of the church. Wow the roses there were so beautiful so I decided to stop and smell the roses or better yet take some pictures. I tried to get my little guys to stand together, but boy what was I thinking. One would smile the other would walk away. Finally I gave up and decided to visit a daycare I was looking into for guy # 3.
My two guys were in heaven there. They were playing with the puzzles and things as if they were already going there. Made me realize how much they loved being with other kids at daycare. Seriously thinking this will be where we will put guy# 3 because I liked the place. Knowing that the classes are small made it even better.
Now we are off to visit our former babysitter. We love Mrs. Stacy, but she moved and couldn't babysit for us anymore. AGHHHHH that's when my day became chaos. My two children are fine when they have room to play or if they have toys to play with, but you put them in an apartment with breakable things, they go stir crazy. Between having to stop guy #3 from terrorizing the cats and guy # 2 from running and screaming like a banshee I was calling for a shot of tequila and it was only 11:00 AM. I realized it was time to leave and get my gremlins fed. I knew it was lunch time in Lafayette, but dang you would think people would take their lunch to go. Nope not at Raising Canes, not yesterday.
I am not a fan of Raising Canes, but I knew if I wanted my guys to eat I had better go where they asked to eat. We order Canes and decide to eat in the car. What am I nuts trying to feed a 4 and 1 year old from the front seat of my Explorer? I decided this is truly impossible so I am on a hunt to find a shady picnic spot. WE found one not far from our doctor's appointment at 1:30 which by the way it was 12:30 by the time we get our food. I still have to put 2 guys in the truck and drive through Lafayette traffic by Women's and Children's. HA HA HA HA!
We did have a great little shady picnic area at Comeaux park. Of course the guys wanted to play instead of eat, but I managed to get them to put at least 1 and 1/2 chicken strips and about 10 fries into their bellies. Note to self: never bring little guys to park for lunch.
We headed to guy# 3's hearing test which again confined areas and two sleepy guys DON'T mix. Guy # 3 passed his hearing test,fell asleep, and went through the whole exam with flying colors. Guy# 2 at this time is so cranky, I was glad to put him in the truck to take him back home.
Oh I almost forgot to talk about the classic returns. I had no idea what to fix for dinner for my little guys. But, after looking in the freezer and fridge I realized I could make the fastest easiest dinner. Pigs in a Blanket! My little guys LOVED them. Guy #2 loved it because he got to help momma make dinner. SO last night for dinner we had Pigs in a Blanket and pretzels. What a great stadium dinner. Classics are always a good idea for dinner.
Needless to say my day was long. It saddens me that Guy #1 never gets to experience my rewards of being a parent. It saddens him too. But little does he know next week when he is on vacation I plan to use his time wisely. That is after we clean sweep the house.

My baby isn't a baby anymore
Ok so guy # 3 is going to be 17 months soon. He is soooooo independent. We have a hard time getting him to let us do things for him. To make matters worse guy #3 wants to use the potty. Guy#2 never wanted to use the potty at that age and this was freaking me out. I checked with my gals at Acadianamoms.com and their knowledge helped tremendously. This morning my guy asked to go potty the minute his feet hit the floor. I potty momma! What wonderful words.!
Oh well we are about to go visit friends and then off to a doctors appointment to have guy#3's hearing checked. I'll be back later with details of our day. Much love to all and may God bless you all in your days journey.

Oh what a day!
My day started at oh 5:30 with the sound of a deep bellowing cry for Momma from guy number 3. It was a great morning. Guy number 3 and I played outside while daddy and guy number 2 were asleep. Guy number 2 woke up and guy number 3 went back to sleep. We had baked flounder and butter noodles for lunch. Well all except guy # 2 who had cheese pizza. We played outside more as guy number 1 got ready for work. After playing outside for about an hour we decided it was too hot so we came in had a snack and guy #2 played Vsmile. We read three more library books. After that we all took a nice little nap. Once we all woke up we headed to Target for some much needed items. So day 2 of my official vacation went smoothly. Now I am trying to find a routine to practice school work with guy number 2. Oh and I actually got to read about 30 pages of my book. WOOHOO!
My first blog
Ok so I am really new to this, but I think it will help for my family and friends to keep up with our lives here in Carencro. Hope to return tonight after children are asleep and work on my page!
