A Randomness Update...

Not much new and exciting here. Other than, if anyone has been paying attention, you know that I did not post anything on Tutti-Frutti's 18 month birthday. Ugg...We did take pictures. I did think about trying to get something online but the truth of the matter is, my computer has been going nutzo on me lately. I think we finally managed to get it worked out. It had some kind of crazy virus or a cold or a cough or something. Anytime I signed on to my profile, it sent me all sorts of warnings and other crazy random things. I was honestly afraid to put pictures on it, I did not know if by some freak accident it would wipe my card clean or if by opening my picture program it might flub with it. So, I felt better just not taking any chances.

I went and got an anti-virus program and at first that did not even seem to be working. I was on the verge of calling in the professionals but miraculously, I think we are back up and running. My last post was done on my mom's computer and a few of the other ones with no pictures was done from my phone. Boy was that fun.

Anyway, I am hoping to get a little time in the next little while to get the pics up and update you on how our little guy is progressing. He actually does not have his 18 month well check until the 23rd or so. I might just wait until then and do an "official" post. Of course by then, he will be almost 19 months old. Oh well.

We are on the count down to spring break! Woo hoo! Cannot wait. No real plans as of yet, I do have a friend from high school coming in for part of the week, her boys are 12 and 8 so I know the kids will have a great time.

My plan is to NOT have to get up at the crack of dawn, get dressed and go somewhere. I can count on getting up at the crack of dawn thanks to the 2 little guys but I think it is safe to assume that at least I will not have to get ready and leave before daylight, lets hope anyway!

The weather here has been psycho. I heard something funny from a friend on facebook. I think it went something like, we live in the bi-polar state. It snows one week then we are wearing shorts and running the a/c the next. Crazy weather.

So...how are you doing?

Wheew...

Is it just me or has this been THE LONGEST short WEEK EVER?!? Man, the kiddos went back to school on Tuesday, we only had to take one of them in though. Lemon Drop spent the night with a friend Monday night so we only had to take Sour Apple. The little boys had music Tuesday and Boog started back to pre-school on Wednesday. So...my point is, why was this week so darned long?

Could it possibly have something to do with the fact that most days during the break we stayed in our pj's till at least noon? Or somedays we did not even bother getting dressed? Wow, when is there another break. Ha!

Other than that, the week shaped up fairly nicely. We finally made it back to the grocery store. Good grief, not sure when the last time we actually shopped was.

We are having some unusually cold weather for our part of Texas lately and we LOVE it! Not sure what that is all about but it is welcome anytime. It makes us really wish we lived somewhere that had a winter. Although, if you listen to people talk or listen to the news and weather advisories...you would think we were going to bottom out somewhere in the -30 range! Hehe.

Tonight, our pre-teen will be heading off to the school's homecoming celebration, alone...our baby is growing up. Not sure I like it. I know this is going to be a fun time in his life, but it means he is turning into something other than a little boy. It kind of hurts my feelings. We all remember what it was like for me when Boog was turning 4 right, I nearly fell apart! Crazy Momma!

Oh well, I have tried to bum him a ride home since the festivities will last until midnight. Daddy has to work tomorrow, I do not like being out that late alone and the babies will be home sleeping. Cross your fingers that the ride comes thru! Meanwhile, I guess if we can get the little ones in bed early, Daddy and I might have a quiet night home alone! Ha, what are the chances?!

Hope you all have a great Friday night.

the one with no name

This has to be the worst Santa picture I have ever seen, muchless taken. It is what it is I guess. I have been thinking that tomorrow morning, we need to hit the mall and try this again. Funny thing is, it has nothing to do with the fact Tutti-Frutti was crying, I love that part actually. They had Santa's chair pushed flush with the wall and in a corner. What sense does that make. Oh well, will try again tomorrow perhaps.



My first born is a moron and I say that with all the love in my heart. You would think after he had done this once before on Tutti-Frutti's first birthday, he would know better than to try again!



Somehow, the little weirdo got himself stuck between the front and middle seat of my mom's car...again.



This will make great blackmail material one day! Muah ha ha ha!!!



My poor sweet sick little man and his wonderful big sister. She let him nap on her for hours. I think this was the day the fever finally broke! Wheew, almost a week later.



Isn't that just the sweetest picture?



Ready to make a gingerbread house? The big kids went to Gee Gee's house to spend the night and daddy and the little boys built a gingerbread house. Boy was that fun.



Bubble wrap!



Did I mention that this one is a little thrown off too? Hehe



Hope we were not going to eat this! He is actually saving it for Santa!



I want to help too daddy!



Of course his idea of helping is sitting in the middle of the table stealing candy and throwing it to the dog!



Whatcha doin daddy?



Like I said, I hope we were not planning on eating it. Poor Santa!



Each piece was handled with love.



Daddy hard at work.



Time for frosting!



Hard at work.



This takes lots of concentration, on both their parts!



He thinks like his mommy! hehe



I want to help!



Finally time to decorate!



I guess we had better read the directions first.



This is how it is supposed to be done.



Spread on more frosting.



Almost done.



The finished gingerbread house!



A few nights later, we made our own pizzas! This one was Boog and Daddy's. It tasted the best too!



Then we decorated cookies for Santa.
