Woogie!

I've never had one to go through my cabinets before...until now!! I actually love it though, probably b/c she's the last one. But, she's only actually gotten in there twice. We had just stripped her down from Broccoli and cheese soup night. I guess it runs in the family Mary, hah!

Olibs

The other day we went to the store and I got Amber these olives, because she is obsessed! She also got candy, but when we got to the car she didn't want that...she wanted her "Olibs". This is hands down-Amber's favorite food. She's my veggie girl. She eats every fruit and vegetable. I LOVE it!

Nana Branham

Sorry...just click on the X


We made an overdue visit to my Nana last week with Aunt Tiffy. Where the girls got to play with "Lucky" the pup-pup. We all had a really great time with eachother. She's got Dimensia?, so sometimes the visits are interesting. But, she's always been a righteous example to me.

Playground-Attempt #2

Well today, I decided to take the kids to the playground again since Jonah was out of school. We were there for about 10 minutes this time before Amber started with the peepee dance. So, I took her in and she tripped in the bathroom (this happens a lot). Her knee started bleeding and she lost it! I took them to the car to get her wound cleaned up and realized there was blood all over her shorts so we went home. Maybe 3rd times a charm.

I'M GOING TO SCHOOL!!

Jonah went to Pre-K last year, but he is so excited to be going to Kindergarten. He has been wearing his bookbag for several days. It didn't help that his Papa woke him up yesterday and told them that they were going to school. (I didn't learn this until yesterday evening) When I got up, they were asking me if they were going to school. When asked, their Papa said he didn't have the heart to tell them he was kidding! He is so crazy! Anyways, Jonah's happy that he and Ethan will be going to the same school this year.

Back To School...Yay!

We continued our tradition of giving the boys their father's blessing before school to arm them with what they need. Rocco always walks them into school on their first day and I pick them up. Jonah will be going to Kindergarten (he has Ethan's K teacher). Ethan will be in Second grade. They've been so ready to go back...me too! Although, I don't know what Giana will do because she's had so much fun playing with them. She'll spend hours hanging out in their room with them.

Caught with his pants down!

Today we started out early to pay our vehicle taxes. There's a park right across the road from the Court house. So, I decided to reward the kids and take them there. As soon as I made it down to the playground with Giana, I noticed Amber doing the last minute pee dance(you mom's know what I'm talking about). So, we scrambled to find a bathroom. At which point Jonah decided he need to go #2(to put it nicely). So we waited for about 5 minutes, when I told him to cut it off, we need to get back to playing. He came out screaming something about going to a $ store. And continued on about how he wasn't done. This is a constant battle in our home. Does anyone else have that problem?
Anyways, I had just put Giana in the swing when I turned around and caught Jonah with his pants down and backed up to a tree(in the middle of the playground!). I quickly persuaded him to pull them back up. The whole time there was weeping, wailing, and nashing of teeth! I gave up and hauled the kids back to the van. Needless to say they never got to play. We decided to go back home and let him finish his "business", and then start the day over. Sometimes I wonder why I try!!
