Busy Bee

Look it is all ready Thursday. Where does the time go? Here is a recap of last weekend.

Saturday after Big Cubby got his haircut and I went the farmers market, we all boarded a train and headed for the zoo. We did the smart thing and got there early. There wasn't that big of a crowd there yet. We hadn't been since Big Cubby was a baby. It really is a great zoo. We had a lot of fun. Big Cubby has a camera so he was taking lots of pictures. Most ended up blurry but a few turned out really good. Little Cubby got in free and Big Cubby had a coupon to get in free from the library reading program. So we only had to pay for us.

We had lunch there and we ended up buying the boys each a souvenier. Plus each one got a wax animal from the machine.

We did a lot of walking and were down by noon. We headed back to the train but missed it so we had to wait about hour for the next one.

We got home and relaxed a bit. Little Cubby took a short nap and then we headed out again to look at sofas.

We ended up buying this one which was supposed to be delivered yesterday but it did not come in so it won't be here until next Thursday. Don't worry we got the stain protection on it. I think the end of next month we might buy a recliner.

I have been busy this week with the boys. Hubby's parents are coming tomorrow so I am busy cleaning and getting ready for them. They stay at Hubby's grandparents house. They are getting in tomorrow and coming over so they can go with us to look at the car show our town has every Friday night. Saturday and Sunday are up in there air. Maybe they will come over Saturday and watch the boys so Hubby and I can go see Clerks 2. We will see. The boys are excited they are coming.

That has been the dillyo! Everyone going to Blogher I hope you have an awesome time! I am jealous I wish I could go. Have a drink for me!

This made me cry a little

Saturday Hubby took Big Cubby to get his hair cut. I knew he was getting a buzz but was not prepared for it when the came back. I had to turn away so Big Cubby would not see me cry. Hubby said Big Cubby was not happy about it. After the cut the barber asked him if he could smile and Big Cubby said "not anymore". On the walk back, he asked Hubby if they could and get his hair back.

He won't look in the mirror at himself now. I got him to for a minute last night while brushing his teeth. I keep letting him know that he is very cute and handsome. I think he is starting to get use to it. We only did it because he gets so hot and sweaty from playing that we thought this would be cooler for him. His hair grows back fast so it should be back by the time school starts.

The week got by me

Man, I can't believe it is all ready Friday. This has been a bad week for me. Maybe that is why I avoided posting. Here is my week in review.

Saturday I went by myself to the movie theater around the corner of my house to see The Break Up. Don't let this movie deceive you thinking it is a comedy. There are a few funny parts but for the most part it is drama. Lots of yelling in this movie. I thought it was ok. You can really tell they reshot the ending. I give it a C. It was worth it for the popcorn. I have been craving movie popcorn. YUM!

Sunday it was too hot to go outside.

I thought my in-laws were coming this weekend so I started the cleaning process on the house. Then I find out they are coming next weekend.

I have had a heavy flow couple of days if you know what I mean. I hate that.

Yesterday I did errands with the boys. I hate taking the boys to the store with me but I really needed to go and could not wait the weekend. There was a lot of whining.

I have felt cranky, crampy, impatient, pissy, tired, sweaty, and did I say pissy.

This weekend we are going to try to attempt the zoo. Oh boy.

Big Cubby is getting is hair cut today or should I say buzzed. I will have pics of before and after. I am uneasy with this because I love his hair but it has been so hot and he gets overheated easy. His hair grows back very fast so he should be ok by school.

Little Cubby is going through the whining stage. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. My nerves are shot.

So, I am sure you guys are so happy I posted today.

Oh, some good news. I had faith that this would happen and my Hubby kept telling we would not get anything back. Yesterday a check from our old landlord came in the mail that contained our deposit. YOO HOO! Hubby could not believe it. He had given up on it. I told him that it would take awhile but I had a feeling we would get it. We are going to buy a couch and a chair or a couch and a loveseat for the living room. Right now we have a futon we sit on. I am excited!

That's all folks!

Monday cheer up

Nobody messes with baby!

21 and 22 months

Little Cubby I am way behind on my posts about you so here is your 21 and 22 month post. Yesterday you turned 22 months.

I can’t believe you are almost 2. You are growing leaps and bounds.

You love music and love to dance. The Laurie Berkner Band is one of your favorites. You love dancing to her song I’m Going to Catch You.

You are saying more words now like Nana and Papa, Charlie (nana and papa’s dog), I see, OK, what’s that, eat, train (which you get excited about) and a lot more words and sentences.

You are a mockingbird. You love to mock sounds and repeat words we say.

You love watching the trains. You might be developing an obsession to trains like your brother.

You are a daredevil. You have no fear. At the park, you go down slides backwards. You like to run with the big kids.

You pretty much eat anything we give you. You eat a lot more veggies then your brother.

You still you the pacifier but only at nap time and night time. You don’t use it during the day.

You like to sit down and flip through books. Your favorite book right now is Elmo Loves You. You make Daddy and I read it over and over. When it comes to the part about giving Elmo a kiss you kiss the page.

You have learned some bad habits from your cousin. You have started screaming in a high pitched sound when you get angry or if your brother is bothering you.

You have entered that stage of independence and you fight us on everything. You want to do it your way.

You are sleeping pretty well at night now. You have a special blankie you like to sleep on.

You smile at everyone which everyone makes a comment about. You are very friendly and not shy.

You like to play with your brothers toys much to his dislike.

You are such a joy in our lives. You make us laugh with your giggles and you make us love you with your hugs and kisses.

Can't get out of my head

I can not get this song out of my head since hearing it the other day. I even find my self singing or humming it.

"I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny." Yeah Sir-Mix-a-Lot's Baby Got Back.

Why?

trip pics

Here are a few pics from our trip.

The bouncey thingy I posted about. It is a carnival at my sisters.Little Cubby loved it.

Cousins.

This is the first time the boys have ever been in any pool.

That inflatable basketball hoop is also my sisters.

At Nana and Papa's. I have started him out young in the chore business.

week in review plus more

Now that the craziness of our trip and the holiday are over I can sit down and post something.

The trip was great. We had so much fun that the time flew by. We left on a Saturday morning and did not get there until late afternoon. Sunday we went to church with Hubby's parents, brother and sister-in-law. It was great to see people we hadn't seen in ages. We got married in this church. Monday, Hubby and I went out on a date. We ended up just driving around and talking then having lunch at a pizza place we loved in college. We walked the mall and noticed how a lot has changed. It was a good day. We got to talk without being interrupted.

Tuesday we went to my sister's house just over the border of Illinois into Kentucky. They just moved there in November. My mom was there also. The boys got to play with their Cousin D in her little pool and her inflatable bouncy toy. I will post pictures of it later. It was a ok visit. Some of you know the past with my mom so when we visit it is usually weird and strained. My mom hadn't seen the boys in a year.

Wednesday we left to come home. The drive there and back was a pain. The boys whined the whole time. I wished then we had a DVD player for the van.

Hubby was off the rest of the week and part of the next week. On the 4th of July we went to a parade that was just around the corner of our house. Big Cubby loved it. He got lots of candy. Little Cubby got tired half way through so Hubby took him home.

That night we went to see fireworks. This is the first time the boys have ever seen a fireworks show. They loved it. Their eyes just lit up when they started. It was a very long day. It took us 40 minutes to get out of the parking lot when it was over. The next day both boys were cranky.

I have been busy with trying to catch up around here. With Hubby off, I did not do a whole lot just relaxing. I have started a new online Bible study and have been trying to catch up on 4 chapters.

That is about it. I will try to post a few photos later.
