Hit by Larry!

One of my favorite traditions is when "Larry the Leprachaun" attacks on St. Patrick's Day. Every year he comes and colors the milk, OJ, and toilet water green. The children get covered in green marker....which is our favorite part. Scott and I giggle like little kids as we cover their little bodies with green graffiti. This usually happens the eve of St. Patrick's Day, but Scott and I were so tired, we completely forgot. So, they got hit last night.....luckily, our kids didn't even notice. Hope everyone had a pinch free day!

Older, but not more mature!

Things are starting to happen if life that are making me think that I am getting old. Today, I spent the day at the hospital while my mom got an angiogram done. Luckily, her heart is doing okay for now, and heart surgery is not right around the corner. My much older sister has been spending the last few days at the hospital with her father in law, who suffered a severe stroke. Now, our parents are in their early 60's, which really isn't that old, but when this stuff starts happening, you start thinking about health, age, etc. Also, tonight I went to a Middle School meeting with James. He is old enough to attend middle school next year. Everyone around me is getting older, but my brain still thinks I am 16.

Shoe Target

Now, who could throw a shoe at this face? Well, James has no problem doing it, since that is exactly what he did before leaving for school this morning. Why are boys so aggressive? They are high energy from waking up until their eyes close at night. Curtis was kicking the soccer ball against the living room couch. When I say I am so sick of balls in the house, they just laugh at me, and think I am talking about a different type of balls. Boys are so goofy!!! Charlie chucked the remote control at the kitchen wall this morning, because I turned off Scooby Doo. I know, how dare I!!! All of that before 9:00. Now, that is nothing abnormal....this stuff happens a lot. I am grateful that these are the problems I have with these boys. I just hope I am saying that in a few years from now, when they start being teenagers. Well, I need to go patch another wall!

(For those of you 'Robbie' that are upset to see George with a Giants cap on....I know. I am aware that we are all Dodger fans, but that is George's coach pitch team. Scott almost pulled him out of the league when they announced his team.....once again proving guys are sooooo lame!)

Miss Ruby...sugar and spice and everything, well?!?

This is by far one of my most favorite photos ever!!! After I took it, I couldn't stop laughing. This is my niece, Ruby. She and Charlie are 2 months apart. I swear, she took cuts up in heaven and gave Charlie her spot, because she is a bit awnry......kind of like me. She and George look like each other. For George's Halloween/Birthday party she came dressed as George. The best part is, she acts so much like George too. I love it!!!

I Read A Book!!!

I know I am pathetic, but I actually read a book. I have always said I am more of a magazine type of girl, but our Relief Society has a book club, so I thought I would give it a go. I really enjoyed it. I felt a little selfish when I ignored the kids and read, but I got over the guilt quickly. So, if anyone out there has any good suggestions for my next book, let me know!

My Baby is 1!!!

Little KC has done it, just like all of the other ones.......he keeps getting bigger!!! I know it is a good thing, but it is a bit sad. He isn't a baby anymore, and he is such a little man. He turned one on the 23rd of February. I really do like him, and more importantly, he still really likes me! KC is such a sweet little boy, I just want to bite him.......in a good way. I know I am weird, but he is so yummy!

Real Life

I guess the point in having a blog is to actually use it.....it has been a month, so I thought I would add to it. Anyways, I just got back from a trip to Baltimore. Scott had business over there, so I tagged along, just to escape for a few days! Scott worked during the day, so I had the days to myself. The first day I had to force myself out of bed at 11:30. It sounds bad, but in real life it was only 8:30 on the west coast. I took a shower, and actually put lotion on after. That is such a luxury. I found a movie theater, and saw "Juno", and then went to the glorious store....Target!!! Scott could not believe out of all places to go, I went there. It was such an enjoyable experience to be able to look at things. This sounds really pathetic, but I had so much fun. It was nice to get away for a few days, but I did miss my boys. It is amazing how refreshed I felt when #1, I did not work out, and #2 I didn't have to run around with 5 boys all day. Today was my first day back, and I am so exhausted! I spent the day trying to get reorganized, clean the house, take care of the kids, teach a class, bake cookies, and make dinner. (I had to bake the cookies, because I really wanted cookie dough...not because I am a super mom!) Now, I am definitely not complaining about my life, but it makes me try to think what I actually did with my time before kids! I could have been such a productive person if I put the energy into what I was doing back then as I do now. Anyways, it was a good break from my "real life", but it is good to be back. KC is at a new stage in which he is into EVERYTHING. I really don't think I need to explain, because the pictures pretty much sum it up. Laughter is a very important part of life, and my days are filled with it. These little people surprise me with new things to laugh at every day. (I do admit that I don't laugh at every situation, sometimes it is quite the opposite reaction, but my kids are pretty funny!)
