I am feeling prayerful at the moment. I just want to thank God for stopping the rain for a couple of days. It made wonders in our household because the boys could blow off steam. I also want to thank God for the blessings he has bestowed on our family. He always takes care of my family in the time of need. We just need patient and prayerful. Which is still happening because we are still down on a few things. I thank Him also today for my great friends I have made in the past few months. They have been keeping me on the positive side of life and I know that is God working through my friends. I just feel so blessed at the moment. I give praise to God for with Him everything is worth it. HE is the best thing in my life and I am getting closer to Him.
Well tonight Mammy and Pampy took the boys. SO tonight I am able to catch up on my TV programs, type this blog, and take a bath without interruption. And to make it even better, I finished all my housework early today so I can vegetate. AHHH God works wonders for another thing to be thankful of. My days have been rough and I am ready to go back to work, but today I actually had a pretty good day.
I hope the rest of the summer stays this way. My little guys were pretty good today. No real big fighting and I thank God for that because they have been able to blow off their steam outside. That's it for tonight, I am going back to watching my TV and then reading in the tub. HAPPY 4th of July everyone.

Deals and rain
Yesterday, I got a great deal not only did I get a shirt, dress, and a pantsuit but I got it for Free (my mil paid the $50 for it).
Today to kill time my mil, boys and I went to Stage in Opelousas. They had GREAT clearance racks. The deal was you got an additional 50% off the already marked down price.
I was pumped and wished my boys would behave in the store so that I could have looked more, but I already have 3 outfits for work this year. AND TO TOP IT OFF I LOST ANOTHER DRESS SIZE!!!! I usually never shop at Stage, but today I racked up.
Gosh I wish I could go back!
Pantsuit- was regular $74.00.. was marked to $37. Got it for $18.50
Shirt- $36.00 marked down to 18.00- got it for 9.00
Dress- 80.00 - marked down to 40 got it for 20
As for this rain, Dear God could you please let it stop for a few days so that my little guys could burn off some steam. Amen!
The boys are experiencing some major cabin fever with all this rain. Thank God we had a birthday party at the skating rink so that they could run around and play. We can only do so much indoor things. Candyland is getting boring even for my 4.5 year old.

Promised pictures
My two little guys in their swimming pool.
Can you see the love in each of them? My two monkeys.
A very cute picture of my babies.
Guy # 3 looks like he just had a hard days work on the tractor.
Guy # 3 relaxing on the tractor.
This is guy # 2 at Go Diego Go. He is being Baby Jaguar.
Rescuing animals and completing chores.
Not much to say about this week. The weather has been pretty unreliable to plan anything. We have been keeping it pretty low key. Staying home, watching TV (cartoons), and keeping the house up is what we have been doing. We did however venture out on Wednesday to go to Go Diego Go live and the pre-party. Both boys greatly enjoyed. Guy number 3 was a little scared at first, but by the time the second half started he was up and dancing. SO was I. It is hard not to get involved with my kids. After the show we joined our friends the Faulks and some of there buddies at McDonald's for lunch. Both of my guys had fun with the little Faulks. That is one group of kids I really enjoy being around. They are so well- mannered. They can be rowdy but what kids aren't. I love talking with all of them. They really have a grasp on things. They easily entertain themselves and play so well with my little guys. Guy # 2 and the littlest Faulk are about the same age and get along so well together. I'll post some pictures I have taken of the guys later. But right now I need to finish folding clothes and get guy # 2 to take a nap.

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!!
