Spring

Second posting of the month...and it is happening at 4:22 am.  I woke up this morning and had a hard time falling back asleep so I decided to make the most of my time and get some of more chores done.  And boy do I have a lot of chores.  My washing machine is in a constant state of "on."  The boys are growing like weeds (yes....pulling actual weeds is also on my list).  I went through all the clothes that don't fit and realized that I actually needed to buy some new basics like socks, underwear, and jackets. AND I needed some for myself.  Not only is my wardrobe becoming a running joke...it is also becoming not functioning.  Anyways....back to being grateful.

 

1. My car

My car has been pretty wonderful.  It costs an arm and a leg but it is reliable, comfortable, and very great.  Ha.

 

2. Power Rangers

I think that the boys have an obsession.  And maybe I do too.  I have never sat and watched a show BUT they do...and they LOVE it.  I am able to have 25 minutes of pure engagement into the television.  I know, many parents would not want their child to sit, but a full 25 minutes in this house is GREAT.  I can also use it to bribe for good behavior.  (Yup...adding up parent of the year points) 

 

3. Spring

My favorite season is here!  I am in spring cleaning, updating, and pulling the house together mode.  I am also loving the time we can be outside.  THOUGH we took the boys on a walk last week (they rode bikes) and half way through....they were done.  So bikes were carried back.  I did learn to just stay close to home. 

 

4. The grill

This falls in line with my obsession with spring.  I already have the tank switched and ready to get the grill ready for the season.

 

5. Stories

My dad tells the boys stories when they go to bed.  He sits in the middle of the room with the lights out and tells them a classic.  I on the other hand usually read books in my bed to them.  A few nights ago Owen asked me for a story before bed.  I told him to go pick out a book.  He said, "No a real story, not a book story."   

 

This dude ALWAYS has bedhead.  ALWAYS.  We are starting to wet it down first thing in the morning but I have a feeling this will be a thing his entire life.

 I had to add this picture of Barbi because Cameron got really excited and said, "Mommy it's you!!"  I asked why and he told me because of her hair!  hahahaha. 


We went to visit Kelly in SouthBend and while we were there I locked my keys in the car.  When we were waiting for AAA we put coats on the kids.  I wanted a picture and asked them to put their hoods up.  (All three of them wearing girl coats was funny to me).  Instantly I knew that this was going to be a problem because Cameron didn't have a hood. 

So here is how the pictures go.  Cameron is on the side of this first picture crying.....then we get him a hood and he loves life again.  Oh that child is a pistol.
