Party Animals

We had the most fun this weekend!! Our friend Paulie was going to meet us at a park. He ended up at Mardi Gras instead. So we went down there and met up with he and his mom, and her S.O. To monkey's thrill there is a great skate park down there also. So he got to skate in there, and saw some people from the other skate park. My brother, and their favorite, super-cool uncle is a cop down there. So he met up with us at the skate park. Nothing says back off, like having the po-po roll in :)
The kids loved seeing him. It was interesting to see the people watch him, and talk to him too. The park closes at 5, so every kid was asking him to open it back up. Pretty funny. He's half law-enforcer, half baby-sitter. But i'm so proud of him, he's turned into such a role-model for the kids.
After we left the skate park we walked over and watched the parade with Paulie, his mom, her S.O., really nice guy. And most importantly to Midget, her favorite, and ours, baby P3. Our super uncle, is not crazy about babies, but even he loves him. Midget got to use her mad baby skilz and pushed him in his stroller even. Anyone who knows her knows this is a dream come true. Monkey and his grandma had him rolling on the skateboard too, so adorable. She's an awesome grandma, and the kids agree P3 is one lucky baby! She was knocking some kids out of the way getting those beads for mine! They loved the parade. Although i hate to say it, Midget is like me and doens't like beads flying at her face. So she ducks :) They got tons of beads, and loved watching the floats. It was so much fun. After that we went to eat, and had italian food. By then they were all ready to crash for the evening. So, we were wild, and crazy party animals for the night!!!

Blahs...

Why can't we get this??

I am so completely tired of this weather!!! Rain, cold and blah!!!! This is like living in Seattle i am guessing without the nice views. Atleast there it's pretty, Here we just have the blah weather with nothing to show for it.
I hope the sun comes out soon. We took monkey to the dentist today, and all is well. He is going back monday to get a baby tooth moved, the big one is coming in over it, strange. Midget is going too, we will see how that goes. unfortunately, or fortunately, she suffers in silence usually. so she may freak out on the way, but will be fine there. This dentist is amazing, and his office is set up for the kids. Monkey loves him, so i am sure she will be fine also.
Midgets class is doing Flat Stanley, i am guessing she will be the winner in her class for distance with her dad. Hard to beat djibouti :)

petsmart

I learned a lesson this weekend. Never, never, NEVER go to petsmart with your children on the weekend! We were having the loveliest time. Then we went to petsmart. there right at the front are cages full of the most adorable kittens. There was even one red one that looks like Sheldon. There it went... "Can we get one please!".... "I'll clean my room, and take care of it, and i'll sleep in my own room forever"... The list went on and on. Then he included his sister... Then he read the little paper on the kitten. Apparently the bunch of kittens he was with were bar-b-que'd and he was the only one to survive. Sorry, but we left him. To which he told his sister, next time be quiet, i know how to work mom. :)
Lesson learned, i will buy pet food during the week.

Best kids ever :)

I've been in a bit of a daze since my dental work. But i have to say I have two of the best kids in the world. Midget took orders from my mom, and next time i turn around she is in her dress up dr's coat, with her clipboard. She had all the directions written down. So adorable! i'll have to scan it later to put up here. She is such a good helper. And my little man, such a big guy now. He made dinner for he and his sister, the fine dining cuisine of ramen noodle soup. The next night, we broadened his menu to include easy mac. The cherry on top was when he said it was hard to get dinner ready when his sister was bugging him every 5 seconds. Really??? i never have had that happen ;)

riding...

We played outside some this weekend, since the weather was so nice. Midget was feeling a little under the weather, so it wasn't for long. But it was so nice while it lasted!

ugh...the dentist

I got bad news today. Last night i had a shooting pain in a tooth. So this morning i summoned all my courage and went to the dentist. Never good news... So monday i have to go back and get some work done. I'd rather not think about it. With the hubster gone, not sure how we are going to work this. Other than that life is peachy here, minus the shooting pain :) We went and saw tooth fairy, ironic isn't it? :) IT was pretty funny, and now midget wants some amnesia dust desprately!

oh no..

Ok, so i might be the worst mom ever... Or the most over-protective, paranoid. Monkey's school is having a "winter b all". He is 10. He doesn't really like girls. He is starting too, and his friends too. The ones who are starting to like the girls are the ones with older siblings who have girlfriends. Well, he mentioned it and said his friend was going, and did i think he should go. He didn't realize it was a dance, kids were going to dance with boy/girl. I wasn't ready for it, i didn't even know there was a dance. So i said do you want to go with a girl, he said no. I lied, i flat out lied... I said i'd already bought tickets for a movie he wanted to see and we had reservations for joe's crab shack. It just came out, i don't know why. Well, i do it's back to the over - protective, paranoid part. So he said that sounds better. Out of guilt he's bringing a friend too :)
p.s. he really doesn't like the girls, it's all peer pressure. he was "going out with a girl" for 2 days. she broke up with him, he didn't want to call her on the phone, because she was boring he said. :)
p.s.p.s. Don't judge me.... i was caught off guard and had no time to go to dr. phil.com to see what age is ok for dances ;) kidding.

Update: just so you know, his best friend isn't getting to go, so i am not the only overprotective one :) Maybe we should all start a support group.
