Just another day

So today was just a regular ordinary day. The little guys and I headed out to Target to get diapers, and toilet bowl cleaner. It was all on sale so woohoo for us. Of course my little guys were on their best behavior while we shopped so they were rewarded. I even stopped at the Dollar Tree to check out their teaching supplies. Cute little incentive things for 1 dollar...you just have to love it. I was totally happy with the way both boys behaved.
We came home unloaded our buys and then off to play in the yard. As you can tell we do about an hour of play time in the morning so that Daddy can sleep without interruption. Today's imaginary play consisted of us being farmers and train station workers. Guy #2 has a battery operated tractor with trailer that was a tractor to haul dirt and then a train to deliver people around the yard. The littlest guy had enough so we came in and had lunch and he went down for his 2 hour nap. Big guy woke up and had his breakfast and went have his fun on his computer game. I took advantage of peace and after folding towels went read my book. Middle guy was watching his cartoons in the living room.
Once littlest guy woke from his nap we headed back to our outside play. We played kick the ball for awhile. I decided to put the boys' swimming pool back up and was able to find the only level place in our backyard. Yeah I back yard is a war zone between unleveled terrain and glass coming up from the ground.
Tonight we traveled into Lafayette and rewarded the little guys with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. Of course big and middle guy had a blast, but little guy and mom were having a battle. I refuse to let him down to run around in CEC, but Mr. Independent was battling me until I just got tired. It was a great time for every to share. Now we are home and I wish my middle guy would GO TO SLEEP ! I am tired of listening to the darn cartoons.
Oh well I must enjoy this time.

Ok so I really don't have much to say. Just been enjoying my time off from work and trying to maintain my weight. I really need to get out of this house and stay away from food. That is one good thing about working I don't snack like I do when I am home. I'm trying to get back on my water drinking, but am not having much success. I do know that in two weeks I'll get to go to the gym at least 2 days a week so that may help me get back into the swing of things. I really want to go back to work being a size 14 instead of a 16. I want to be smaller again.
Having the boys here is also making it hard on me because they are constantly wanting snacks. I do make them healthy snacks, but I also give them sweets every once in a while.
I have started thinking about my class this coming school year. I really need to start getting lessons together. I think this will be fun. I new learning experience for me. But, I think I'll be able to handle it.
Oh well enough about me. The boys are doing great! Everyone is enjoying their time together. We went swimming with our friends the Faulks and I got a nice sunburn which is actually turning into a tan. I haven't tanned like this since before Guy# 2 was born . I actually have a swimsuit line. Wow.
Life is going great..going to spend time with my brother and sis in law tomorrow around the pool at their apartment. Going to have pork chops and hot dogs.
Hope life is treating every one kindly!

Really should be...

OK so the past few days have not been real interesting. Guy #2 has acted up so badly that he has been punished from playing outside therefore there has been no imagination games going on. We did however play Subway last night at Mammy and Pampy's. It really was fun because everyone was playing. Guy # 2 loves when he has everyone playing with him including his best friend---his daddy.
Yesterday I got some time away from at least one of my little guys and ran errands with just one little guy to worry about. Thanks to my wonderful big guy for keeping guy # 2 with him so I could get my errands done quickly. In fact all errands were finished in 2 hours. I love it.
My boys and I will be attending Diego Live thanks to our good friend Mrs. Carlie Faulk for giving us a ticket so that little guy # 3 can get into the show. We will be seated close to the Faulk bunch so that will be awesome. We saw Diego last year, but I think guy# 2 will enjoy the extra special things that will happen and I can't wait to see guy# 3 's face. I'm bringing his ear plugs just in case it is too loud for him. This is also happening during his nap time. I just hope that Diego can keep his attention. If not I may be in the wings watching guy# 2 .
Well GUy #2 wants to play a game so I am off to play. I also need to cook supper. HOT DOGS!!

We are alive and well

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but life has been busy. Ok not too busy, but alot of mommy and kiddie bonding is happening. We have been playing lots of pretending games. I have hunted, fished, found treasure, buried treasure, became a ghost, and defended my fort in the past week. Whew that's alot of traveling. Thank God gas prices are high I may not have had the chance to travel so much.
Sunday my big guy was off so we headed to my parents house in good ole' Chauvin (many of you know it as Cocodrie). I created my daddy a very touching slide show of his kids and grandkids with the song "That's My Job" by Conway Twitty. I had everyone is tears because I always write from the heart and the song is really not an uplifting song. We had some delicious grub. My mom mad a big pot of Shrimp and Okra gumbo for me and my brothers and roast, baked chicken, green beans, and corn for her in-laws. My grandparents joined us and my Paw-Paw was fussed at just as much as my two boys. It was great to be surrounded by my family. I miss them very much, but no I have a brother who will be closer.
We spent the night at a hotel down there so that our little guys could swim in a big pool instead of our "sit down and get you bottom wet" pool that we have here. The guy# 1 and 2 swam from 7:30 until 10 last night. The littlest guy and I swam for about an hour. He so needed to go to bed. No nap for him is not a great thing. We had an awesome time and I hope my husband enjoyed his Father's day in Cocodrie and swimming with his boys.

My Compliments to our new photographer!

This is a typical picture of all three of us Mommy being tackled by her two little guys!

My two little guys and I. Go Blue!
Don't they look so cainille! They so love each other.
Just a great picture of all three of us for our favorite big guy!

OH MY GOSH HOW AWESOME ARE THESE! My friend Sarah took these wonderful pictures of my boys and I for what was supposed to be a surprise for our big guy, but I couldn't hold back! I was so impressed that I hope she will honor us as being our photographer. I learned something from her....just snap the camera you will get a good one somewhere in there. Sarah if you are reading this I absolutely LOVE these pictures. I wish you luck with your business.

Arghhh Matey! and other things

Ok so yesterday was a little off beat. The little guy sand I just veggied in front of the TV in the morning. Guy # 2 had an appointment to have his arm examined and well HE IS CAST FREE! Everything healed wonderfully and he now his cute little arm back. No more red club to bonk us with. We celebrated with lunch at Subway.
In honor of the cast being removed we had a water balloon fight. Then Guy # 1 had the bright idea to play water balloon baseball. Guy# 2 and 3 had a blast. My little guys love being outside and they love the water. We ended our day with a round of frisbee and dinner. The little guys had dolphin and Whale and the big guy and I had shrimp and angel hair pasta. It was a great day and night!
Today was a normal day. Guy# 3 woke at 7:30 and we played, ate breakfast and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Guy # 2 woke at about 9. He wanted to play pirates today so we got dressed and headed on to the seas (aka our backyard) to search for treasure (aka lost toys) on the beach (aka our dirt pile) I decided since we were searching for lost toys let me clean out the car. So we cleaned the car and went wash and vacuum it at the carwash. The little guys love the carwash. After we washed the car we headed home for lunch today we had dinosaurs. Yummy. After lunch and a bath the littlest guy took a nap. He was full of ketchup so we had to sponge bathe him. When he woke up it was time to play pirates again only this time we were bombing forts. We gathered up ammunition (aka acorns) and began bombing each others forts ( mine was the picnic blanket and little guys was the Swingset) I decided to end the game or so I thought by saying he had blown up fort and I was dead to which he replied " now you are a ghost pirate' You have to haunt us. So I was a ghost pirate and chased my boys around the back yard. Guess I can cancel the gym membership for myself. We had fun, but I am pooped. Oh by the way I was cleaning house in between these pirate plays. I am sure we will have round 3 when littlest guy wakes up from his nap. WHY can't guy # 2 take naps? The day isn't over and if I don't pass out with the boys, I'll post again. Now off to make pigs in the blanket!

WIll it ever end?

OK so we all know my guys and I started cleaning out our house last week. Well we are continuing to clean. I got the living room just about done. I need to get rid of toys. My little guys have so many toys they don't even play with a quarter of them. They are in storage boxes, but the boxes need to go before Christmas so that we can put up our tree. Will the cleaning ever end? I really do want a break from cleaning before I have to go back to work.

My boys and I took pictures yesterday. My friend Sarah (http://sarahcalaisphotography.blogspot.com/) took some great pictures. You can view some of them on her website. We will be receiving a disk from her and then I will order them. She did a wonderful job considering that the little guys just wouldn't stay still or cooperate. Sarah has inspired me to try my hand at doing my own photographing of my boys. I love my camera so another project is to take pictures of my boys as much as possible. Maybe I'll get some good ones.
I sure hope my big guy is off Sunday. I would like to go to my parents' house to visit my dad. I haven't seen them since the beginning of April. Yeah I know a long time, but gas is expensive. My mom's family is supposed to be all getting together and I would love to celebrate Father's day with my Daddy.
Today was a normal day of occupying the boys. We played outside for almost 2 hours this morning. The boys dug in the dirt pile, while I watched. We used our imaginations and hunted and fished in our front yard. Yeah We launched our boat (aka the wagon) from the dock (aka the ramp to the shed) and paddled to the lake (aka the front yard). We sat and listened for animals. Kaleb shot 2 deer and some ducks. Logan just shot his gun. This mom caught a couple of good rays of sun. We then had a race in our back yard. I love to watch Logan when he realizes things are fun. His little face lights up with glee (yes Mrs. Brenda if you're reading this Logan has expressions) We ended our escapades so that lunch could be served. Guy# 2 wanted chicken nuggets and we were out so off to Winn Dixie for some nuggets. Wow they are cool. I served my little fisherman whale and dolphin shaped chicken nuggets. They were a hit. Little guy took a 2 hour nap and when big guy left for work the little guys and I left to catch the last few hours of the great 10 for 10 sale at Albertsons. We finished at Albertsons came home and I cooked a pork chop stew. I called my brother to join us for supper. He and guy # 2 had a blast playing on starfall.com. He just left and now guy#2 is begging me to get off the computer. It's time for his bath and bedtime. He goes tomorrow to get his cast either changed or taken off for good. I hope it's the later because I am ready to take him swimming. Pray that is over tomorrow. Until tomorrow...
