Bath time

 

So our tub was broke a couple of months ago so one night I just threw the boys in the sink. They are way too big, but it got the job done.

Painting

 

I love Lend and Learn, me and the boys go every week twice a week. Most of the time like... 98% of the time we go my boys play with puzzles the whole 2 hours, it's amazing. Everyone comments on how good they are... I just smirk and say if you only knew. This day however some other kids had paint out and it was the first time my boys ever painted, they had sooo much fun! And I didn't even have to do clean up... nice!

Our Snowman!

 

I was so excited that we finally got some good packing snow. We hadn't been able to build a snowman because we never had the right kind of snow so me and the kids had fun this day!!! Kaylee was out of school for the day because of all the snow so we just played outside in it til the boys were done.

Pumpkin carving

 

I never got a chance to post this, but this was our pumpkin the kids and I carved for Halloween.

Goober kids

 

Maverick and Kaylee

Matthew and Maverick actually did this first but I got on to them and didn't get a picture. Later when Matthew was asleep Kaylee and Maverick snuck in the bathroom to do it again... crazy kids. They thought they were too funny!

Sleepy boys

 

Matthew fell asleep on his chair after dinner and I found Maverick like this on our big basked both completely conked out... too cute!

Leprachaun mischief

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! This morning we woke up and what do you know??? Our milk was green and the eggs were green. Larry the leprachaun somehow got into our house and caused some mischief, the kids were amazed and Kaylee left a note for that leprachaun to STAY OUT OF OUR HOUSE!

Boot camp for three year olds anyone?

Anyone know of a boot camp for three year olds? My boys have been driving me crazy so my mom took them and Kaylee this weekend and I finally finished the boys room. I also had to clean it up because they completely destroyed it. Well... today they woke up at 5:00 and would not go back to sleep so of course I couldn't either. After I took Kaylee to school I put a movie in for them and read a magazine for a little bit, but they were way into the movie so I layed down and fell asleep for maybe 10 minutes. I woke up to them under my kitchen table with a bunch of medicine out from our cabinet. They pulled down the oven stepped on it, climbed on top of the stove and had to get on their tiptoes in order to even get anything out of our medicine cabinet. They ate all of the kids tums and a whole package of gum they had to sneak out of my purse. I called poison control and they said they would be fine.. Then they were sneaking candy when I was on the phone with poison control so I had enough. I put them in their room and locked the door so they could play in there for a bit. They were playing great, no fighting and someone bumped their head so I opened the door and what did I find...... Well Maverick took off his pull-up and rubbed poop everywhere stuffed animals, toy box, pillows you name it. They also tore down all the little stickers I put up this weekend on their wall, I was sooo mad! I worked hard on their room to make it look good and they ruined it all, I saved some of the stickers but the majority had to be tossed.

So lesson learned.... be grateful all of you who do not have twins!!

Last night!

My calling right now is being a member of the activities committee and last night we had a meeting at the church. On our way after a little bit of shopping.... Kaylee decided to put a piece of plastic on her finger. It was a long orange tube that came off of a toy gun. Well, it got stuck and of course she was dramatic about it. When we got to the church first thing Matthew smashed his finger so now I had two wailing children. I left the boys in the gym with a friend and then took Kaylee to the bathroom and put soap on her finger yet it still wouldn't come off. I pulled and twisted, it did not budge.
Freaking out I went back into the gym and ask the girls there what I should do.. Fortunately there was a doctor there and he just pulled it right off, I guess he had the magic touch. Her finger was blue and purple and swolen, poor thing. Then I had to run out to my car and get band aids for Kaylee and Matthew. It was insane!

So this is what it takes to finally get a good picutre of my boys... lots of wiggling and moving in between and running away.

Maverick has the gray and red tie and Matthew has the blue tie...

The many faces of Tess and Care

Ok so my family... mom, dad and tess took me to see the Broadway show of Mary Poppins at the Fox theater. I had alot of fun... it was great! I loved the show they did some things differently then in the movie but I think all the performers did a great job. I loved it. On the way though me and Tess were bored so here is what we did.... Take a million different silly pictures... yeah it was fun.

Also across the from the Fox there was this giant Buddha Bunny, so I had to get a picture of everyone in it. It was kind of weird, but cool I guess. Then there are a couple of pictures of the inside of the Fox. I have been there before but it was still awesome.

Kaylee's first day of school

So here is Kaylee's first day and I have a couple pics of her second day of Kindergarten. I can't believe it! Then I also put some on there of her beautiful hair... man i was so sad. I had the nerve to think right before school started wow I made it five years without Kaylee cutting her hair that's great.... so what did she do that week? She cut her hair and the boys hair. I had to buzz the boys hair off and hers I thought I could get away with and layer it cause she just took a chunk off the side, but it was too far back so I had to cut it off!! I was soo mad because her hair grows so slowly and I have been growing it since she was born. All we have done for five years is get it trimmed and that is all the longer it got. I had to chop off like 3 or 4 inches off the back. I was sad but she still looks cute. I like her hair longer though so I guess we will start the long process over again.

Some misc pics

These are just some misc pics I had. The first one is our new dog Bentley, for those of you who don't know two months ago our dog Cooper was killed by a car. So now we have Bentley, he won't ever be able to replace Cooper but we have grown to love him and it has helped Ryan get over losing Coop.

Then I have some pictures of my kiddos getting a ride behind Pap-Daddy's lawn mower. This is always requested now when we go up to my parents house. They love it!

Then I have some pictures from our pummelo experience. I wanted to try it since I never had. It looks like a huge grapefruit and its pink inside like a grapefruit, but it tastes between a mix of an orange and a grapefruit. It was pretty good and my boys ate some of it. The skin on it was soo thick I couldn't believe it. I don't know if I would by it again, if I do next time I will slice it in half and put sugar on it and eat it like a grapefruit.

Then Ryan and I got to go fishing cause Nana watched the kids for us and it was fun because we finally got to do something together without kids! We caught a decent amount of fish and I caught a fairly nice bass. It was fun thanks again Nana!

Finally we had our first hospital trip with the boys. Matthew some how hit his head just right on the corner of our wall and busted his head open. I knew right away he would need a staple. So I had to take Matthew and Maverick to the hospital while my neighbor watched Kaylee and Beily. It was truly the worst experience of my life!!! I got there right around lunch time so my boys were starving but i knew I couldn't give them anything just in case like they said and of course I couldn't give Maverick something and not give Matthew anything so both were starving. When I got there they said I was next. I think it took two hours from then for me to actually get in... didn't know next meant you had to wait two hours. It was awful by then we were tired and hungry and bored. They were all over the place being crazy. Then I saw that a helicopter was coming in so I rushed outside and they got to watch the helicopter land and then 15 minutes later they got to see it fly off again. Then we went back inside and 10 minutes later we were called in. We didn't get a room though, we had to sit in the hallway on a bed next to a lady who I knew didn't feel good and I felt so bad because there was no way I would be able to keep them quiet and they were yelling and being boys you know. Finally someone came and cleaned off his head then left then we had to wait another 30 minutes for them to come back and say yep he needs a staple then they had to numb it and finally they got the staple in after like 4 hours. The nurse was way cool, she came back and said man they still aren't here and went to find them for me then after she told me how perturbed she was because she knew what I was going through, so at least someone understood.

So he had it in for about a week and then they took it out... pour baby it hurt coming out cause it was stuck and she had to pull several times.

There is also a picture of Tessa and Annie they were in a charlie brown play. Tessa was snoopy and Annie was the little red headed girl.

Our bath tub was broken for awhile so I was letting the kids take a shower in my room, but this time I was lazy so the boys took baths in my kitchen sink. It was funny cause they are so big, they liked it though.

And finally the boys got into Kaylee's play clothes and dressed up so I of course had to take a picture. Matthew is in the green dress and Maverick is in the blue one. Too funny!
