"I am a bad guy...it's just me."

It is still January and this is my 4th post.  Sometimes I feel like super mom and others I feel like...holy moly....all moms are busy, "this is normal."  Today I feel like...huh....

 

We are watching a movie right now. It is 714. A lot has already happened today. Why? Well the boys woke up at 500am and in my sleepy stupor I thought that it was time to wake up. After a full 10 minutes I stopped in my tracks and realized, "holy shit. It is only 5am." Well those of you who have 3 year olds, or know my children, know that a full 10 minutes of already being awake equals not going back to bed. So....we have been up since 5am. All of us tired and a little crabby.

Here is a picture from this morning.  On the bright side...I already have all of the back rooms vacuumed and two loads of laundry done, but not folded.  I tried to start my taxes but that was a joke so I decided to do a quick blog updated instead. 

1. Yoga
I am going to try to do Thursday night yoga every week after work.  This will be a task to even leave work on time and get to the gym.  Next week I have more computer training so I will have to miss it and then the following week I might be busy as well.  BUT...I love this class and it kicks my ass.  Hopefully I can make it there.

2. Amber
The boys are going to a sitter in the neighborhood.  This has been an extremely EXTREMELY hard adjustment for me.  I know that day shift is the best thing for me and I am grateful for her being such a big part of our lives now.

3. dumdums
Yes, the small little suckers that are a PERFECT bribe.  I have started bribing my children sometimes.  I am not proud, but hey, sometimes, it makes us all a bit happy.

4. Library books
We read library books every night in my bed before the boys go to bed.  It is SOOOOO nice to change up the stories and the boys are still at an age that I can skip a page or two and they usually have no clue.

5. The help
The boys want to be with me and help me with everything.  Sometimes it is very sweet and melts your heart.  But at the same time it really slows your work down.  It takes me a long time to vacuum, do the dishes, laundry, cook...basically...just about everything.  Even right now Owen and I are arguing about him helping me on the computer.

6. Ashley's Bday Dinner
On Tuesday night we went to dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise for Ashley's bday.  We were there for an hour.  I was in the bathroom 5 different times.  The first time, I made both boys go pee before the meal came.  Success.  Second time, Cameron told me that his stomach hurt so I asked if he had to go to the bathroom...he said yes, Owen said no...so we went.  Came back to the table. Owen had to go.. Now we are on the 4th time, Cameron had to "poo." Owen didn't have to go. Got back to the table, and Owen had to "poo." So this 5th, and final time that I was in the bathroom, the table paid for my bill.  Basically, I didn't get much of a chance to talk to anyone but they still paid for our dinners.  Grateful. Very grateful.  OH and I don't carry a diaper bag anymore.  Yay!!

 

 

 This is us waiting at the Children's Museum.  Maybe I am just completely off on my times lately.  I left my house 45 minutes too early.  I knew what time the museum opened and when I pulled up to the building I realized that it was 45 minutes before 10am!!  So we waited.  This is Cameron with a band aid on almost all of his fingers, eating a cucumber.  I love when he wears that hat.

We were playing pretend on Friday and Owen put this "cake" in the fridge to cool down.  We must of forgot because I opened the fridge on Saturday night and this is what I found.

 Can you find Owen in this picture.  Ha.  They crack me up.

A few things about this one.  Yes, that is his costume on the ground.  And at the rate he grows...it won't fit him much longer.  That will be a terrible day.  Second....this is a common occurrence at our home. 

 Swim lessons.  Yes, he looks terrified because he hates to put his ears in the water.  BUT he LOVES swim lessons.  He calls Maddie "my person"



Playing with the Harris family after church at McDonalds.  I must admit, this was an awesome play area

 Neighborhood bike ride when it was warm last week.  And I got some yard work done!

Cameron insisted that I put a picture of him in his costume on the blog.  He loves this costume.  LOVES.
