The other foot.....

Try reasoning with a 3 year old. If that's their right foot, what does that make the other foot? It's the WRONG foot.

So, just who did think of naming the "sides" of things using words that have more than 1 meaning? Had to be a man.....

My hubby....

John was recognized for going "above & beyond", along with a coworker from another county, for taking parents to see their children in group or detention homes. They give up a Saturday each month to do this, it was their idea to start it. Along with the praise they were each given an "award" as well. Which, my thoughtfull hubby has stated will go to our SC trip. This is a trip with MY family, I don't expect him to do something like that! He says he doesn't believe in brownie points, but he just got some!

Not a good "sign" in my opinion....

On our way to and from seeing family this weekend we kept seeing the welcome sign on the side of the road for P.G. County. Those who know where that is will really catch the irony of what was under it. It stated "A livable community." So, that's all, its livable? They can't boast about a clean community, or a home town community, or anything else, they can only say they are livable, that's all they were able to come up with to put on their road signs?

And honestly, to me, that's stretching it!

The shirt

Good luck to the "Major Pains" team tomorrow at the state championships in Annapolis! Can't wait to see the team pics!

Wonder what it looks like going down a bowling lane?

So, I was doing shirts for a friend's stepdaughter's bowling team. They are called the "Major Pains" and the shirts entail a bowling ball, pin, then a drill instructer style hat hanging from the pin. They are done in the "grafitti" style like the pink ribbon shirts I made in the fall. Anyway, I was painting on the finger holes and JJ tells me to finish up "his eyes and nose."

Better keep him away from them or he's might just paint on a smiling mouth too!

I can picture the explosion now...

JJ has figured out how to move him sit-n-spin over to the counters, open the microwave, put food in, push the number buttons, then start. Sure, some would think great, independence. But what runs through my mind, an errant fork on a plate being nuked, the sizzle and pops of the electricty meeting radiation waves, then the smoke after the final, loud, bam.

Nothing says love better....

They say a picture says a thousand words, but sometimes, you get a picture that can say much more, capturing everything into 1 "simple" word. I caught this pic at Easter of my 2 fav boys and its the epitome of what they share - LOVE

This answers it all

Today was National Stress Out Day....

I think most everyone else was told about this beforehand, something has to explain their stupid behavior.....

(It is also National High Five Day - I guess what we were suppossed to do after putting up with all the stress!)

Photo idiot

I realized that all the mumbo jumbo "written" in my blog would still show as my pictures once I published the post. So, I've put in 1 of the pics of all the kids on Easter day. We're going to try to make a tradition out of it and have the kids scrap the pictures. We'll see how that turns out, it will be cute to see what the kids come up with!

Posting pics?

Why won't this site allow me to post pics? Oh, well, if anyone wants to see Easter pics they will be on myspace and facebook.

But, I can share this. The older and younger kids had 2 egg hunts each Sunday. The second one had money and candy in the eggs, same number of money eggs as the 1st hunt. With the younger kids we all thought it so precious when my nephew told everyone, with each egg he opened (no matter what was inside) how lucky he was. Then, the noticable difference was the older kids complaining that some of their eggs had candy and not all money.

Oh, if they could only stay so young and innocent!

Hippity Hop

This is the best part of the Wedding Singer, and what's more appropriate than a little hippity hop for Easter?

A pic of JJ & a boast on a friend

My mommy friend IS Bluebug Photography. You can see her link in the blogs I follow. She's amazing, hence why when it came time to do a baby shower gift for a coworker/friend some of us chipped in and got her a gift certificate. She's taken a couple pics of JJ through the years, just candid shots at playdates, all of which I cherish. Yesterday was an Easter Egg Hunt and she took the picture here. I'm already planning in my head when we'll do a family session with her now that JJ is getting more personable.

Is anyone else excited for Easter?

I just can't wait! I love Easter, all aspects of it. Maybe because it officially starts Spring in my mind, but also seeing the kids having so much fun brings me such joy! And its a great time to spend with family as well! Only a few more days!

I'm a rock star

So, JJ has John and I playing Guitar Hero with him (won't Bran be surprised when he comes down in a few days to know this, lol.) It's so cute when I finish and JJ tells me "Mommy, you rock!" I also get a kick out of him jamming along, dancing while he "plays" the guitar, singing along to Foghart - Slow ride....take it easy.

I wonder how much this will affect what he listens to as he gets older. Will Aerosmith and Poison make up his song list?

The kid has some great genes

Really, look at how adorable he is!

A Beach Day

Once I can get the 2 guys up and motivated we are headed to the beach to meet up with friends. I feel torn though, there are things that need to get done, and soon, but on the other hand quite frankly I need a little breather.

What, little ole me?

Happy April Fool's everyone!

I got a good laugh yesterday when 1 of my coworkers said she was worried about what pranks I would pull today. Me? Why would I be any cause for concern, really now!

LOL!!!!
