So we had a busy day…Alice and Jefferson were here, Levi and Alice had school and Nevaeh went on a visit. While the others were gone, I took Carlos, Trey and Jefferson to the Kid’s Museum and they ad a great time playing with all the golf balls in the physics display and we did a little art. Did some paint with water at home and played outside some, too. I even got the lawn mowed at naptime! Levi is fasting (claiming to eat anything but snacks…HA! he’s in for a shocker when he doesn’t get snacks)…Carlos is slapping people…Trey is screeching. That was my day.

Ended on a high note with Sawatdy’s for dinner…YUM!

FYI…Pictures added to the previous week’s posts

Had a really nice evening tonight….our friends, Holly and JC came over with their kids for dinner. Who doesn’t love pizza? Anyhow, it was lots of fun. Gabe, their son, is a genius I swear. He’s 2 1/2 and knows all the planets in order and can spell all their names. AMAZING. Trey didn’t want to be outdone and ate 3 pieces of pizza to prove himself!

We took the boys up to Bay Hay and Feed this morning and got them all new boots and Crocs. They are stylin now for sure. I honestly think Crocs are the weirdest little shoes, but after trying on my mom’s pair, they are truly comfortable and amazingly lightweight. The boys can get theirs on by themselves, too and they really like them.

OH…flu’s better….woke up ache free and Dee and I spent naptime scrubbing the kitchen floor/bathroom and back deck. Slowly but surely spring cleaning comes. The upstairs is the HUGE next task, not looking forward to tackling that one. Baby steps…

Last night was GREAT….Mary, Martha and I went to see our friend, Holly O’Reilly (www.hollyoreilly.com) play at the Triple Door. She’s amazing and well worth checking out her music. Anyhow, the Triple Door was nice, too as we got to eat small expensive portions of super fancy food and I also had my first coconut martini. A night out was just what I needed.

Today was back into reality with putting Levi on the bus, ran to Silverdale to WIC, back in time to get Levi off the bus, make lunch, get them down for a nap then head outside to play until we froze and had to come in and watch “Polar Express” for the 800th time. Everyone’s in bed…I tackled the pile of laundry and caught up on my reality shows.

Tomorrow’s family dinner night with Mary and Alice and hoping the boys get haircuts, they are looking like hippies! 🙂

Carlos is our new resident fly catcher, check out the pictures! We’ve apparently got a fly issue (to be resolved by fly strips this weekend) and he has caught 7 flies with his bare hands. He sees one, zeros in, snatches it, smooshes it and then wants to take it outside to set it free. It’s very sweet but very nasty. He’s quite accurate, too.

We were busy, busy today starting out with shopping at the resale shop in Silverdale’s grand opening sale to get some things for our new little girl (who may be staying for a month or two now). The boys had fun with that, there was a clown and balloons. We tried to do a little Old Navy shopping but Levi and Carlos were laying on the floor so we left. We went over to the mall briefly and ate lunch and went to a couple stores but really didn’t find much, then to Target also quickly and then headed home. It was way too late to put anyone down for a nap so we went to Battle Point Park to run around for a little while. They had fun and Mama Dee even came to play!

We were going to go see our friend, Holly (www.hollyoreilly.com) perform, she rocks…but the boys were beat and without naps were not up for a public appearance. Mary and I are going to her show on Tuesday at the Triple Door. If you wanna come, it’s going to be lots of fun and some great music.

Happy weekend!

I took Carlos and Trey (and the baby) out to “The Zone” this morning to run and run and run. The space is huge as you can see by the first picture…both the boys are in the pic they just look like specs. They had a blast playing with the balls and spent an hour moving their bodies. By the end they were wiped out, we stopped quickly at the resale shop and got a few new things for the baby before we headed home to meet Levi’s bus. Carolyn brought her foster guy over and he and our baby were crashed here together, its too cute they must think they are twins and love sleeping next to eachother.

We were supposed to have dinner last night with Beth and Michal, but they missed the boat so it didn’t work out. WE WERE BUMMED OUT! Still hoping we get a chance to see them this trip, we miss them. 🙂

The boys ate and went to bed with minimal complaints…ah, that was nice.

This is what it looks like when the power goes out in the middle of the night and your boys get scared and want to sleep in mamas bed.

We had a great dinner with our friends Carolyn, Joe and Stefanie…nothing fancy just pizza and chatting. The boys all were a little foochy and got scrubbed down in the tub. We’re usually SO good about it, but for some reason it’s been a couple days. With the time change we’ve been just off.

Dee had the kids on Saturday night when I went out, but I got home around 11:30 and all the kids but Trey were still awake when I got home! They were bouncing on the “beds” in the living room (Dee had taken the big boy’s matresses and put them in the living room to sleep on). We finally got them to crash and they were up early in the morning. They had so much fun we’re going to try to do the sleep over at least once a month with them.

Oh, thanks for the voting on Baby Idol…I don’t know how (it must have been rigged) but none of our boys made it to the top 100 babies. Seriously, they were the cutest in there BY FAR so what the hell.

Off to bed here…baby’s got an early visit in the morning!
