These things change?

My precious Boog is so funny...

Boog: "Mommy? What are you looking at pictures of?"

Mommy: "Me when I was in school."

Boog: "Oh, who was your mommy when you were a kid?"

Mommy: "Gee Gee"

Boog: "Still? When you was a kid she was your mom?"

Mommy: "Yep"

Boog: "Oh. Who was Daddy's mom when he was a kid?"

Mommy: "Grandma"

Boog: "Oh"

Some things just never change...

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

Well, this has not been a week from, well...you know where! Nope, it has been fantastic.

Last week, my sweet 13 month old baby did not start waking up all hours of the night again. Nope, my baby sleeps all night like he should.

Yesterday, my precious 4 year old did not wake up before Daddy's alarm clock and start howling and screaming at 5:20am that he did not want Daddy to go to work. He did not wake up his mommy and baby brother at that lovely time of the morning either. Nope, my kids have fantastic sleeping habits and never wake up when daddy leaves, muchless scream like a wild banchee because they do not want him to ever leave the house without them! They do not care that daddy leaves for work and it gone all day, they hardly miss him at all!

Saturday, I did not meet up with a friend so that I could get some pictures of her precious almost 3 year old daughter. Nope, I would never do that. Since we did not do that, I did not get some great shots of my boys while we were there waiting...of course they (really) are not proofed and ready for show. I have not been so busy since then that I have barely had any time to work on them. Nope, I am free all of the time and never have anything at all to do! The weather on Saturday morning was not abolutely perfect for the non-existant pictures either!

I absolutely did not find out last night that my dear oldest son had 2 more major projects due today and tomorrow. We were already working on one. Nope, he is organized and always comes home on the day something is assigned and we get started on it immediately. That would never happen at our house. Good thing too because that might have meant that daddy had to go to the store at bedtime to pick up something we needed for one of the projects. Since none of that happened, I did not nearly do away with said 12 year old boy. Nope, loving mother here...never even think of doing harm to an absent minded child. If I had one of those of course.

We do not still have to finish (well I mean start one of) two of the three projects today when the child gets home from school. Nope, remember...we are organized and together, the projects have been done for weeks!

Last night, right before climbing into bed, I did not find out that our carpooling schedule for the week had changed. Meaning I would be the one taking the kids to school. I did not panic and attempt to start getting everything ready since I thought I would have more time to prepare myself and the two little ones in the morning after the big kids were off to school. I am always completely prepared the night before on a school night, I always have everything out so all we have to do is get dressed and ready. I never do anything last minute so I am never stressed out while trying to get out the door on time.

I did not have one child working on the project that was due this morning. I did not leave my poor baby in the highchair by his older brother to munch on whatever he could find to give him while I took a shower and got ready. Nope, I am more attentive than that. I always spend every moment of everyday trying to please my children. I would never leave them cooped up in a highchair in the care of an older sibling just so I could get a shower and get ready for my mom's group meeting today. I do not go to mom's group meetings, remember I spend every moment of everyday with my kids!

None of that was happening, we were not late and everything was going smoothly, and Tutti-Frutti did not get into the dog's water dish as we were running walking slowly out the door for school.

Oh, did I mention that I did not have to go to the bank yesterday to cancel my debit card because of some bogus internet charges? Nope, we did not have 5 bogus charges on our statement totaling over $350! We are careful who we give our card number to and never have any sort of problem with them!

Yea, my week has been a doozie! And I am not dreading doing it all over again! Yay! I love Monday's! Now go on over to Mckmama's and see what everone else has not been up to!

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to the most amazing husband ever. I love you baby! Looking forward to many more in years to come.

Weekly Wednesday with tons of pictures to prove it

We have had some really unseasonally awesome weather lately. It has been almost tolerable the last few weeks. We took advantage of the great weather today by taking the little boys to the park while we were waiting for it to be time to get the big kids from school. Since Boog started pre-school, it has really cut into our Wednesdays. Usually when the weather is nice, we head to the zoo but we have not been able to make it. (Sigh) I guess we will have to skip music one Tuesday to go. I am sure Boog would not want to miss pre-school since he has decided that he loves it!

When we got to the park, Tutti-Frutti was not impressed with the swings at all. My goal was to just snap a few pictures then rescue him from the horror or the baby swing.


He was going to have no part of swinging.

Then he decided that maybe it was not so bad afterall.

He decided to holler and scream with delight instead of crying...

He was hanging on and just a swangin'.

This is the screaming face...

Looking for Daddy and Boog.

Once he figured out that he liked swinging...he really liked swinging.

The would laugh and giggle and scream with delight.



He even decided that he did not always have to hang on. He was just leaning forward and swinging.





Boog found this thing that you stand on and spin in circles. Daddy would spin him until he was dizzy and try to get him to walk. It was funny.

You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round, round round.

Then you watch me try to walk...hehe

Then you get me to smile all cute because I was dizzy...

Then they hit the monkey bars...the right place for a smallish monkey!

After the monkey crossed the bars, he went for a swing.

And he laughed.

And laughed.

And laughed.

And tried to make a straight face.

Then apparently, he tried to lick his ear!

Then laughed some more.

And some more.

He even threw his head back in laughter!

Then he climbed something that made Mommy nearly have a stroke.

He made funny faces on the way up.

He got nearly to the top.

He made it to the top.

He made Mommy hearly have another stroke.

He looked so proud of himself.

He paused to look adorable.

He is looking like such a big boy lately. Have I said how much that hurts my feelings?

They found some crazy bouncy jiggly thing to get up on. So, of course I took some more pictures.

You know, because that is what Mommies do.

He was playing on some swinging thing that was chained to the ground, you are supposed to step from one to the other.

He was trying to tell Daddy to come help him. Of course here he goes looking all adorable again.

Yep, adorable once again.

This is the "I am mad, you hurt my feelings because I do not want to leave" face. And yes, it is adorable too!Yep, adorable once again.

You know, when your husband plays on the playground equipment, you cannot resist taking pictures of it then blogging them, right?

He was on the spinny thing.

Then he grabbed this big wheel like thingy and spun himself around. Now that my friends was funny!

Crazy legs and all!

The little dude likes the facial hair and the glasses and today he was doubly happy. Daddy had both!

Yea, I think he might be a dentist.

Glasses...got'em.

Sweet success.
