You are so sweet :)

Look what I got today, how lucky am I? They are called fire and ice roses. I love them! And even better, they weren't dead, wink wink. He will get that. Aren't they absolutely beautiful? But honey, I don't have the hard part here. I've got 2 absolutely wonderful kids to keep my heart full. My mind a little scattered, yes. For every 3 things they do to drive me nuts, they do one small amazing thing to make me happy. This will pass, and will be a small memory soon. Besides, how many moms can say they know there kids as well as i know mine? You just caught me on a crazy day. It was our blah, vegetative day, formerly known as pajama day. I guess we could now call it midget dresses herself day :)
Thank you masterchief, ha ha.
I did watch a good movie on comcast, compliments of dh. Thank you. The family that preys. Very cute. Alfre woodard is in it, and she said something neat. Be careful how you talk to strangers, because they could always be an angel in diquise. I thought that was very sweet. Something to think about anyway. I try to be nice to everyone, and i try to teach the kids that. They seem to do so, if not too nice:) We are southern, so that is a big thing here.

The sisters are here...

She's very proud of the misssing tooth :)

There is the family, even the dog.

The silbings together.


The kids and I went down to the pizza place so they could see grandpa's sisters. They had a great time "helping" with the pizzas and getting to know the aunts again. The midget had a lose tooth, and after much harassment by grandpa and one fo the sisters she just yanked it out herself at dinner! She is way braver than i am. Grandpa made some "awesome" hamburgers according to the monkey. Grammie enjoyed having all the grandkids running wild. The monkey and midget loved the aunts. Midget loved one for her stories, and her creative side. She is a creative kid herself. the other aunt is alot like grandpa, a party in herself :) They all had a great time.

stuck at home..

We are stuck at home waiting for the people to come so I can sign papers on refinancing the house. Crummy timing :( We've seen all the good movies on the pay per view, played all the games, and are bored. Sad really, there is a house full of things to do, but now that i know we have to stay here and wait, i think the walls are closing in on us....
It's for a purpose, i must remind myself.
Since when is my sweet little midget such a tattle tale?? And when will my sweet little monkey learn the skill of being sneaky enough to get away with stuff? I seriously believe this is a skill, and other kids do just as many naughty things, they just know how to get away with it. He always gets caught. Is he just not quick enough or what?

more pictures

Here are a couple more pictures from the past couple of days. How cute are the baby ducks though? I just wondered why there were only 2 of them.

spring break

Well it's very hard to keep the kids busy, and from being "bored". Although i have to say they do come up with ways to entertain themselves, for that i am grateful. Mr. monkey has taken to cutting up boxes and making them into a solder-transformer thing. They have also vowed to kill the ants in the backyard. This one i am keeping an eye on, it could get a little sticky :)
We went to the park yesterday and fed the ducks, there are a ton of them out there. There were even little baby ones, and oh were they cute! Monkey was very protective of them, and kept telling the midget and i to get away we were scaring them. Who knew at the ago of 9 he was all knowing on the matter of ducks too. We went to grandma's where he proceeded to nearly beat her at checkers. grandma whooped the midget at checkers, i guess there is no letting the little ones when with her...
Today we went to my favorite place, i mean the kids favorite place. The children's museum. They had some new exhibits, and wow were they cool! The kids had an absolute blast, and so did I. They have a kid city, and you get money and can make more doing jobs. It's a really neat idea, was a little crowded though. They loved the news station. You could even record and play back yourself on the news! It was tons of fun, and all were exhausted when we got home, thank goodness.

SUDS

p.s. I saw this on the news this morning, this group is amazing. I thought my wonderful husband might want to see it. They are a group called suds. Soldiers undertaking disabled scuba diving. IT was so amazing, and touching to watch. They teach the disabled soldiers to scuba dive. They all said how wonderful and freeing it felt to be underwater. The website has a clip of the news broadcast, it is really touching. What a wonderful thing for them to do for our soldiers.
