so I suck at posting right now

Can't believe it has been a week since I posted. So here is an update on the week.

We have been busy with T-Ball/Coaches Pitch for Big Cubby. He has games on Tuesday and practice on Thursday nights. He loves it!

Our town had its Heritage Festival this weekend. It literally happened around the corner from where we live so it makes it very convenient you walk there. Unfortunatley we hear the fireworks each night of the fest around 10pm Not fun.

We went on Saturday and the boys had a blast. They got to ride the carnival rides and see Spiderman. They won prizes and ate a lot of food.

Ladybuy was so good the whole day. It helped that we could take a break and walk home for naps.

The boys both won goldfish. I went out and bought bowls, food and rocks for them. Believe it or not they are still alive. I am amazed.

I got sunburned on my back I guess I did not put sunscreen on my back very well.

On Sunday at the theater around the corner, they had a special event for the fest. Mark DeCarlo was there talking about animation and voiceing for cartoons. If you don't know Mark DeCarlo does many voices but is famous for Hugh Neutron the father of Jimmy Neutron that is on Nick. The boys love that show. So I took just Big Cubby to see him talk. It was an interactive show and he got people on stage to do voices for cartoons and such. It was funny and entertaining. Big Cubby did get antsy toward the end. Afterwards, Mark DeCarlo signed postcard with Hugh Neutron and the family for people who wanted it. So we waited in line and Big Cubby got to meet him and get a personalized autographed postcard. Mark DeCarlo was very nice.

We had a fun and exhausting weekend. I will be posting pictures of T-ball and carnival as soon as Hubby resizes the photos for me.

PS. Nothing in writing yet but Hubby was told from his boss he has a job. Now it comes down to what he will be doing and what the pay will be or even if he wants it. Hopefully this week there will be a definite answer.

Happy 1st Birthday Ladybug






Happy Birthday Ladybug! One year ago today you were born into our family. This year has flown by. You are getting to be such a big girl. You can pull yourself up on everything and have taken a few steps while holding onto the couch.

Things you love: your brothers, singing, dancing, nursing(yeah trying to wean her of this), music, your blankie, cake, kisses, smiling at everybody, and yelling at your brothers.

You were a wonderful surprise and we love you very much.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Update

Just a quick update about Hubby's job. We still don't know if he has a job yet. There have been meetings and figuring out where people fit. If there are redundent positions then one will have to go. It seems that the higher ups in his company are lobbying for him but there are no quarantees.

There is no word on when the decisions will be made. He is hoping to hear the beginning of next week.

So for now we sit in limbo. I am so happy that we did not buy a house.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and keeping us in your thoughts.

Unknown

For the past couple of weeks we have been living in the unknown. You see there were rumors going around that the company my Hubby works for was going to be sold. The rumors started looking like they might be true as the days kept coming.

Well, yesterday it became official and was announced to the media and Hubby's company. They have been bought. The company that bought them is a pretty big company and they are adding Hubby's employer because they don't cover that market.

What does this mean? Well we don't have any idea. My Hubby could be out of a job. Today they are having a big company meeting explaining things. We hope to find out today if he still has a job or not.

This is very scary. I am just praying and having faith that we will be taken care of. It is all I can do really. Worrying doesn't do any good.

Please keep us in your thoughts.

Movies

Last Saturday I took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda. Overall I thought it was ok and kinda cute. There were a couple of times I laughed.

Big Cubby loved it. He thought it was awesome. There was one part when he leaned into me and said he was scared but it did not last long because there was always action.

Little Cubby was a different story. He did not like it. He was afraid most of the time. He sat on my lap and wimpered till the movie ended. He kept saying he did not like it.

Back at home both boys got Happy Meals from McDonalds and the toys were from Kung Fu Panda. Little Cubby liked them. He even like the preview of the movie my Hubby pulled up from the Internet. Funny because of his reaction to the movie. Maybe he was too young to see it. There were a lot of little kids his age and younger at the movie. It was rated PG.

I try to stick with G movies but it is hard now that Big Cubby will turn 7 and Little Cubby will turn 4 soon. There is a gap between what they like.

Both boys love the superheros even though they haven't seen any of the movies.

School's out for summer

Today was Big Cubby's last day of school. He is officially a first grader now. He has come along way from the beginning of the year. Remember when he cried and threw a fit going into the classroom. Well, now he doesn't want school to end. He likes it that much. Amazing.

We are very proud of him and happy that he likes school. We will see how he feels when school starts up in August.

Mom night out, Sex and the City

The title is two different things sorry to get your hopes up.

First, Mom's night out. Last week the Kindergarten moms got together for drinks. The first time I felt really uncomfortable and wasn't sure if I wanted to do it again. I am so glad I did because I had a great time. There were more moms there and everybody seemed more laid back. Got a little buzzed and really some fun. Don't worry I was in walking distance from the restaurant so I walked there and back.

Now school is out in two days and I am not sure if I will be in contact with some of these mom over the summer but I sure hope we do this again.

Sex and the City. I went the movies on Sunday to see this film. I enjoyed the show when it was on HBO. The movie was ok. There is nothing like sitting in the theater and the grandma and grandpa in front of you act like they are in their living room and talk a lot. Also, when the sex scenes did appear it was uncomfortable because granny and gramps are there and it felt like they were my grandparents. Weird huh?

Any way the movie seemed like a lot of episodes thrown together. I am in no way like any of these characters but I did find some points that I could relate to. I went home and thanked my husband for being patient with me and loving me.

The movie does not disappoint in the sex part. There is a lot. Overall, it was entertaining.

That was my weekend.
