Wordless Wednesday Shaving

Ok it has been awhile since I got on here! This is some of what we have been up too. Saturday we had Monkey's birthday party and it was so much fun. The kids went swimming in the pool :) Monkey got some really great gifts and he absolutely loves them all. One of my favorites was the carpet of streets for his little cars. He just loves them all so when we asked what his favorite was he practically named them all!!! He got a big boys bike from J and I and GG picked him out an airplane and car. He also got a flashlight, so much fun for a 3 year old. It was a great party. Then afterwards we went to the Hotel my mom was staying at and the adults went swimming. The next morning we all went to church and then the kids and I went to Brookfield zoo with my mom, step-dad and brothers. We saw the dolphin show and that was really cool. I just wish it wouldn't of been so hot and humid out that day. Then my brother Kolin stayed with us for a few days and the kids really loved that and it was nice for me too. Another gift Monkey got was a ticket to see Veggie Tales Rockin Live Tour, which we went to yesterday. It was pretty cute and the kids loved it. We went with the family that bought his ticket and then went to eat at the Olive Garden afterwards...YUM. I love that place :) I am a big fan of the soup, salad and bread sticks. Today J took GG and Monkey fishing, Monkey used his new fishing pole and had a blast. We are going to get his pictures taken today in about an hour. When we get home J is going to run the sprinkler and let the kids run through it. Tomorrow J is taking Monkey water skiing as his father/son time. I'm a little upset about that because it is his birthday and I won't get to see him until the middle of the afternoon. We are going to take him out for his birthday dinner when they get back. As of now Monkey said Subway was his choice but we'll see if that changes tomorrow. Well that is about it from me. Oh yeah J and I bought GG a DVD of Mary Poppins.

I corrected the spelling mistake my wonderful husband pointed out to me, if you didn’t catch it then don’t worry. I worked this morning and took GG with me, and Monkey and J had father/son time. GG went to a class today, which they call preschool but isn’t anything but a playgroup. They had a Valentine’s Day party GG loved that. What they do is play games, have snack, read books, sing songs, and make a craft. It only lasts an hour and a half in the room right next to the nursery. Then she came with me to teach the sports bug class I got recruited to teach. She was really shy during that class I think it was because I was the teacher?!?! Who knows, she is a 3 year old with her own mind! Everyone I have talked to say that 3 year olds are harder to handle than 2 year olds. The only difference I see is that she is starting to stretch her wings and wanting to be more independent. The: I can do it myself mind set. But she has to learn to do things on her own sometime, right? One more thing about work! As we were leaving GG said to Amanda, “Do you know the line from the Wizard of Oz? It goes like this I’ll get you my pretty. Do you know that one? That is what the wicked witch says to the pretty girl.” She went on more about it but I was trying to get us ready to leave! But she has only seen that movie once and it was about 4 months ago. I don’t know what sparked that memory but it was pretty darn funny to listen to her tell Amanda. Enough of that…when we got home we ate lunch as a family. J is really enjoying being on his own except that he says he gets lonely. Maybe we will get a cell phone and he can call me. Nah they are too expensive and everyone has one, we want to be different :) After lunch Monkey crashed and I put on the RugRats movie for GG. I laid with her on the couch to watch the movie and I ended up falling asleep for about half an hour. It felt good to take a catnap. Speaking of sleep I slept like a rock last night. I woke up in the middle of the night with a big drool puddle on my pillow! I told J I slept good and he said, “I know, I told you to move Monkey too many times to count and you never did.” I don’t understand why he can’t move him. Monkey was buggin J not me so J should move him, at least I think. I told him that and he said that he was too comfortable to move him. Well obviously J wasn’t too comfortable if he was awake to tell me to move him because his feet were digging in his side. Ah men! Anyway we made homemade pizza for dinner. The kids both helped. I also made some lemonade and asked GG to help me count the 8 scoops needed. When we stopped at 8, Monkey said 9. I have been working on counting with him, I tell him when I get to 10 we stop nursing. In those times he must be learning to count! What a smart little guy. After dinner the kids took baths and soon after GG was in bed asleep. Monkey just went down about 20 minutes ago. I am ready to go to bed too.
