Fly by posting!

This is a fly by post. Still very busy. Painting is done. I have a BIGGER scrapbook area now. WOOO HOOO...I'm really excited about that one. Can't wait til Steffen and Liz take the rest of the furniture tomorrow. Have some awesome plans for my scrapping desk for the kids. Yep, double duty. Hmmm, oh Coley greeted me this morning after his nap STANDING UP in his crib. Fun times and also time to lower his matress....cry, cry that means he's growing up. I'm not ready and I'm really NOT ready to have a 3 year old in less than a week.

Off to finish organizing my scrap space and then moving on to toys. I totally had some energy this morning and shampoo'd the carpets. Check.

Oh I did take pics this morning of the boys, but now that I have a new printer I don't have a card reader. That's next on the TO BUY list.

Adios amigos.

I am alive! :)

Just checkin in! I'm crazy busy here on the homefront. Painting. Planning. Buying. Organizing. Ughh does it ever end...for a playroom for the boys. Also trying to get everything together for P's birthday party on the 25th. It'll be fun but is kind of stressin me out. Been busy with Moms Club too. Activities ALL the time and being creative director is wiping me out. Haven't been to a meeting yet since I've gained this NEW title, but just found out I'm to plan a craft, 2 games, and find a book or 2 for each monthly meeting to read then give away. Umm HELLO who is gonna watch my children while I'm entertaining 40 others. Ya....umm I dunno!

I'm here just a little busy and stressed haven't even grabbed the camera in probably a week. That's sad.

And she scores...

a GREAT DEAL at Toys R Us today! Got this kitchen today for P for only $26.26 original price 69.99! I told you it was a GREAT DEAL. They are rearranging our store and must be getting rid of the displays. Found this and another outdoor kitchen (with all accessories shown) as we rounded the corner by the bikes. Price tag said $30.90. I was like cool...called Bill who agree great deal, go with it. We had wanted to get this kitchen for him this past Christmas but didn't. So anyway I go up to pay for it and 2 bubble blowers and my total was 31.97. Not too bad huh? I looked at the receipt and I got an extra 15 % off I guess because they were all clearance items. We came home and Parker played with it until nap time. I love that it's small and very easy to move. This one is from last night. We were going stir crazy in the house so at about 6:30 we headed out to the sauna. I didn't think it was too bad and then I look at P and his face is beat RED. All we were doing is bouncing his Spiderman ball back and forth to each other. So it was a little on the warm side. LOL Love this picture of him (bright red face and his very blonde hair) watching the neighbors across the street.

P also went to the dentist for the first time this morning. He did FABULOUS. He was such a big boy and even went in all by himself. That was kind of hard for me because he's only 2....he NEEDS me still right?! Umm guess not. No it wasn't bad at all. They just looked at his teeth today and will get them cleaned in 6 months. We have to see if he still has the heart murmur first to see if he'll need anitibiotics then. He has 4 molars coming in too. Fun, but they don't seem to be bothering him. So he's happy, got a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and a new dinosaur flosser. Anyway, I might be a slacker the next few days because my mom and brother are coming to visit. It should be a good time.

It's official...

Coley weighs in at a whopping 21 pounds! He had is 9 month check today. Everything looks great. We are starting him on Miralax which is a laxative to get him more regular. We've tried everything else so this is the last resort. I sure hope it helps. The only other thing was he has fluid in his ears but he didn't seem too concerned with that since he's not fussy or feverish. No shots today either...YAY! Little bugger does the army crawl now but only when he absolutely wants me...which has been 3 times since we've been home from vacation. I mean actually crawl for more than 2-3 feet. The 3 times it's been from the living room by the window to the kitchen or from his bedroom to the kitchen. Most times he just lays on the floor and fusses until someone picks him up. Doctor says he's smart, I say he's lazy! ;) He also cut his 2 bottom teeth also while we were on vacation. They are pretty sharp too. That's pretty much what's going on in Coley's world right now.

My hair!

Before
not the best picture as I did NOT fix my hair before I left to get it cut. After
It's similar to Katie Holmes' new do. I think my layers are a little shorter. I love how short it is. Not too sure about the style, but it's working as there are many ways to fix it. Most of my lighter blonde was cut off too, oh well. I love it short and don't have nearly as much hair on the bathroom floor or all over my clothes for that matter. Oh and Coley hasn't once pulled my hair yet...that's a plus too!

A few from vacaton!

Love this one of Cole...9 months old! Parker finally wearing his muscles after the Dells at Gramma's house.
Cole as an identical quad. LOL We went to the Magic House on Thursday!
P just out of the pool and willing to smile for me.
An apple Luke was eating at the Dells. Love the lighting so I had to snap a pic of it.

Bricks at the train station we went to.
An old jalopy that was at the train station.
Parker waiting for the train to start moving.
Parker at the one of the outdoor waterparks at the resort. I only managed 5 water pics the whole vacation. And not ONE of Cole. Grrrrrrrrr!
