Mikey's 2nd Birthday Party

Today we threw Mikey a spontaneous 2nd Birthday Party. All went well until the thunder started, but we were able to squeeze in cake and presents before the bottom fell out!

Happy Birthday Mikey!

We spent today with my friend, Carleigh, and her three boyz at Bounce N Beans. They were here from China, visiting family in Tennessee, and made the drive down for a playdate. It was the perfect way to celebrate being TWO!

Rainy Day Blues

Today was suppose to be our last pool adventure before school starts back, but it appears that the rain has changed our plans. So here we are, stuck in the house, with an extra kid, and all I keep hearing is "I'm bored, there's nothing to do". BLAH.

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day......after school starts back....

Oh Yeah!

So, today Chris took the older three boys, my cousin took Mikey, and a friend took Eli and I had an entire afternoon to myself!

It was so easy running errands, I would just jump out of the car and go. Every time I got out I would look back, thinking "surely I'm forgetting something". After being so used to all the "stuff" that comes with kids, not to mention the kids themselves, I'd forgotten how truly simple life can be without them. I also thought how incredibly quiet and lonely it was being by myself, but boy did I get a lot done, not to mention pretty toes and fresh hair, too!

In the nail salon, as I got my pedicure I looked to my right at the mother/daughter getting their toes done and thought "it would be so fun to have a daughter to share this with". Then, the daughter was done and the mother spent the rest of her pedicure saying "be careful, don't mess up your polish" and answering a hundred and twenty questions...while I relaxed...alone...in my massaging chair, enjoying the lack of responsibilites. After the mom was done I smiled as she had to dish out an extra thirty bucks for her kids electric blue toes.

Yeah, having boyz rocks! And alone time is divine.

Entertaining in the Car

While out with my mom, we had to make a stop by the chiropractor, after a bit the boyz (ok, mostly Mikey) were restless and over watching Bob the Builder, so I let him loose and we entertained ourselves in the car.

Wordless Wednesday

All Post Prior to this Date

When I decided to do this blog, I chose to take all my old myspace blogs and put them into here so I would have them all in one place for convenience. So anything Prior to July 2009 are old blogs and may not fit into the tone of this blog, but at least you understand why they are here. And they may in fact need a "Parental Guidance Suggested" label....
