Halloween

We have decorated for Halloween in our new house ! Cant wait to have the Chili night/Halloween party there this year .I hope that with all the kids we have in the area that there is alot of action .I love having tons of kids come to get candy ,seeing all the neat get ups they have .It has got to be one of my favorite holidays EVER ! It's the day after my bday it has candy and it starts the WHOLE holiday season !
BOO TO YOU

Great visi,t Long time coming

Last night we had our Jolie girl over to the house for the first time in YEARS !She came with her boyfriend Travis. It was great I loved every single minute of it . They got to meet the boys. JD did great , CJ not so much .It takes him a bit to warm up to people but by the end of the night Travis and the guys were good buds .They played air hockey ,dodge ball and even went to the pond to throw rocks and fed the fish. He is allowed to come back any time (per the boys) ,If he has to bring her too then that's ok .As long as she doesn't get in the way.Poor Jolie.

Well Prepared

So I like to be prepared. I really do try but I am always late no matter how prepared I try to be .So my hope is that by starting to get ready for the boys First Communion now that I will have everything ready and not be running around .I have bought some decorations already (they were on clearence ) My sister (who also has a little guy in the class) is looking at invites ,and talking to the lady that will be making the cakes . Oh OH did I mention that my mom is teaching the class? That's right we make EVERYTHING a family affair.
I have talked to the people that we want to cook the meal .I have even talked to the butcher to see how far in advance I can buy the meat and freeze it .See I have really got things moving along .Now if I can just make sure the boys pass the class and stop CJ from calling the teacher and telling her that he is skipping class to go to party city for Halloween costumes

The perfect minute

JD has always told CJ that he is the older brother and really rubbed that one whole glorious minute in his face ".You cant play this game first you have to wait a minute after I get to". "You cant drive until a minute after I do." You cant do this you cant do that ect ect .
If you can think of it,then add not until a whole minute after me to it and it is what you hear coming out of JD's mouth all the time .
Well today we were all on the couch and it was no I sit next to mommy no I do .Then JD bust out with CJ I had mommy all to myself for a WHOLE minute and then you came and ruined it!
Yep I see his first counseling session being about ...a minute

Sorry it took so long

Ok I know it has taken FOREVER but here it is our new house ! I cant make my blog do what I want today so the pictures are not going be labeled very well but one is the fishing pond behind our house one is the pond and bike trail from our back yard and then the others are of course the cute boys riding on said trail
then you have the AWESOME trampoline that the Godparents got the boys for their birthday ...and then a picture of the trampoline in our neighbors yard after we took it off their roof because of the storm that picked it up at 60mph. I had planned to make a whole streaming picture thing with the moving day pictures and the ones of what we look like now that we are in the house and getting settled but ... it took me from the July 4th weekend till now to even get this up so lets not push out luck .I am going to do better and soon you will have those pictures too .We are all settling in good but there never seems to be enough time in the day to get it all done and weekends have been packed with oh oh oh wait we need to go get this and oh oh oh lets put this up and and and so we will get there ,we do after all have forever

And we are off

Here comes grumpy boy in the lead followed by it's not fair ..but wait ladies and gentlemen coming up fast from behind it's, it's yes it's the worlds meanest mommy !
I gave my boys the first week of their summer vacation off to play and veg and do nothing .NOW we have to start doing the same thing we have done everyday around 3. HOMEWORK!!! everyday even in the summer .But today ,today it is a surprise even though I told them last week that it started today .OH the fit the tears the anguish the pain the gnashing of teeth ! WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO MATH AND READ ?! WHAT? YOU WANT US TO WRITE ABOUT THE BOOK TOO!
wow this summer is going to be great

I'm waiting

I am waiting on something and I am sick of waiting I really want to be done with the waiting game . I have been waiting for way too long .I am not good at Christmas time,I was not good at waiting for my birthday now I am not good at waiting for my kids birthday .I was not good at waiting for my due date .The boys took pity on me and came early.At least I knew the final outcome of that knew what my gift was (2 boys)
This not knowing is going to drive me nuts,like I don't have far to go

It Freaks me out

I went to the store with the boys yesterday and as we were walking down the cereal isle we all had a flash back .We were spending the night at moms one time .I assume that it was when we came to visit from GA and at breakfast dad offered J a bowl of rice krispies .As J sat down to eat them dad said listen they are talking to you .Well that was it he went dashing out of the kitchen and I ate that bowl and to this day when we see a box of rice krispies (like last night) CJ picks on J about them talking .CJ:You need to try them brother it's cereal it really does not talk to you .
J: no way that cereal really Freaks me out ,food isn't supposed to make noise !
just add it to the long list of quirks that my boys have .gotta love 'em

Office

Well it is official I am a hoarder.Honey got into the office today and we cleaned it out so the air hockey table that has been used as a drop all is ready to go for the summer .I AM SO VERY SAD.
I save all kinds of junk . oh oh I may use that one day .no don't toss that out I have plans for that. Hey that's part of a craft I am planing to do .
I have a box under this table with pre-k,one with kinder and now one with all of their first grade work in them .I just cant bear to part with them .They worked so hard on them .I love the office like this but I just pile things up .Cant you just see me on that show when they are 27 and want to bring their girlfriends (that I wont like) over and cant get in the door because I have it so full with every scrap of paper they ever touched all over the place or 20 different crafts started all over the place.
"That's my nutty mom,my dad moved out about 10 years ago,lets go see him he's the one who tosses EVERYTHING out "
There I am standing on the front porch in my moo moo with my cats "Bye honey , don't worry I'll meet the next girl.This one wont last anyway she has cooties "

7 years!

Well here we are planning for ANOTHER birthday .I have yet to figure out how to stop them from coming ! This year we are not having a big blow out like last year .We have WAY too much other stuff going on ok well 3 kinda big things . But they are still sucking my brain power away so we are just having a family party this weekend at the park and then a daycare friend party on Wednesday at the house .Yep I still have games planned it wont be a total bust of a party but it does not stop me from feeling like a rotten mommy .

We are going to play games from the show minute to win it ,I love that show !

The big thing for the boys this year is that we have caved in and we are letting them get a DS .They are so happy .For me that means that this is the first year that I wont have to find a place for a huge pile of gifts to be put .For everyone else it means that gift giving has just gotten so much simpler .Gift cards to game stop ! I will post pictures of the party in the next few days .Sorry I have not been on here but like I said it has been nuts around here .

long time no post

Today starts the week of BEAUTIFUL weather (or so we are told).So I thought that I would bring my wandering Jew back outside .I have had them hanging the mud room all winter .I spent a nice few hours tending to them ,re potting trimming watering .The boys would come out for a bit at a time see a bee and dash back inside .They are so very scared of bees .They decided that going in the back yard with daddy and swinging high on the rope swing would be a good idea because i guess the bees don't go to the back yard this time of year (look there are somethings that i don't even try to understand)

When daddy's arms fell off they gave me a try again ,besides they found out i had mud ! So after 45 minutes of mud fights and hoses oh and they sold a mud pie to their aunt we all came in .They got a bath and we watched monsters vs aliens and i made the last of the Heather cookies . It was a very relaxing day I did not get anything I had "planned" done but I got a little sun and had a good time with my boys

slaves

The dictionary says : Slavery-to own a person as property:

YA KNOW MOMMY THIS IS SLAVERY ! SLAVERY ! JUST LIKE SLAVERY !

his brother chimes in -making it an even better time-

IT IS MOMMY ! AND SLAVERY IS JUST NOT NICE ! YOU CANT DO THIS TO US !

Nope not beating them nor was I selling them

no field work either .

Ya see my sweet little boys had been so very full of beans

from the very second that their little bottoms hit the car seat in the carpool lane .

They argued with me each other the dogs the walls the clouds the heavens in the sky ...ok well you get the point

I had to stop what ever I was doing at least every few minutes to play referee

In my house when you cost me my time because you cant behave you owe me time.

My time seems to always be spent cleaning something .Not that I ever really get all my cleaning done.I start,and I start often but something ALWAYS comes up someone needs me to either do something for them or to them.So my life looks like a big half ass-ed mess . I may get one room done but then there are other rooms that don't get touched or I start the same thing over and over and never get all the way done before something takes me away from it.

ok much like this rambling blog ...back to the slaves...

so they owe me time is the point I am tying to make

So I sent them to their room to clean and I get MORE lip

from my slaves no less !

snowy fun
