When I Grow Up...

I'm going to be a sky-diving instructor for no other reason than to push so called "macho men" out of planes.

*I will, of course, give them parachutes first. Unless they talk to my chest. I hate that. Yes, I mean you, guy at Target. The girls don't talk to strangers!!! Want to take a sky-diving lesson?

Air Conditioning...

All day long whenever the air conditioner would kick on H would yell, "Its blowing me away! Its blowing me away!" Plus he kept insisting the birds outside were bumblebees and were scaring him. I love that kid so much!

What Exactly Do You Say To That...

I was trying to convince Z that we had to throw a broken toy away because it was beyond repair. Z's response:

Z: I can fix it with my tools.
Me: No you can't, honey. You don't have the right kind of tool.
Z: I can fix it with daddy's tools.
Me: I'm sorry, but daddy doesn't have the right kind of tool either.
Z: I can fix it with my imaginary tool. Its the right kind.

My Precious...

Chris bought me a beautiful ring for my birthday, but says he is starting to get concerned about the fact that I keep telling people it was my birthday present. So now I'm just calling it "the precious".

Happy Birthday Stallion!

I love you and hope you have a wonderful, relaxing day!

Happy Birthday, Mad Libs...

Today is Mad Libs 50th birthday. So (adjective) birthday to you, Mad Libs. We hope you have an (adjective) (noun).

Our Vacation Part 4...

We arrived home safely around 10:30 at night and all crashed until the next morning. Looking back the next day we decided that our vacation definitely had all the elements of a perfect family vacation; amusement parks, photo ops and vomit. Lots of vomit.

Our Vacation Part 3...

We left California to head home to sunny Arizona. We drove for about 20 minutes. Then Z projectile vomited all over the car.

Our Vacation Part 2...

M felt fine in the morning so we headed off for a fun-filled day at Legoland. We stayed from open to close and had a great time. We enjoyed a complimentary dinner at our hotel and were all in bed by 9:00. We spent the next day at the San Diego Zoo where we saw Panda Bears, Polar Bears, Sun Bears, Spectacled Bears, Black Bears and Koalas Bears. (Also, we saw birds and snakes and other stuff...).

Our Vacation Part 1...

We had a relatively uneventful drive to California. We checked into our lovely hotel and unpacked. We had the kids settled down and to bed by 9:00 and Chris and I were asleep by 10:00. However, we were woken up at 11:30 by M who was projectile vomiting all over our lovely hotel room.

Blogger Hijack Alert!!

I *May* have hijacked Busy's Blog to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Love you Busy!!

Chicken Noodle Soup...

I made chicken noodle soup for dinner last night. Granted, it didn't have a lot of chicken in it, but I figured we needed to start somewhere. The boys LOVED it! And M has decided that it is okay if we change as long as we "go slow" which we promised to do. I wish change wasn't so hard for him, but I'm glad we shoved him out of his comfort zone a little. BTW--No one got sick, either:)

My Not-Happy Chocolate Story...

For Chelleybutton...

When my husband and I were first married he put two Lindor cinnamon truffles in my stocking for Christmas. They were the most delicious chocolates I have ever eaten. I savored every bite and made each one last several days. Then I went back to buy some more and they said the were all out. Then they said they were seasonal and wouldn't be back until next Christmas. So I waited until next Christmas, but then they said they were discontinued! So I began to search for other brands of Cinnamon Truffles. My mom finally found some from Harry and David. They were almost (not quite) as good, but they were also seasonal. So I decided to make my 5 truffles last until next Christmas, but then the next Christmas they said they had been discontinued, too. So that is my not-happy chocolate story:(

Stupidest Thing I've Said This Week...

"Hurry up or I'm going to beat you with the dishes."

(I was just trying to tell M that I was going to be finished with the dishes before he finished with his worksheet, but it didn't come out that way...)
