Stories

A couple cute stories for the day.

AIDEN: What happens when I tell Aiden no treat. I busted him in the bathroom polishing off his toothpaste, mmmmm! : )

ASHER: I made Puppy Chow for the first time since middle school (Well I didn't make it then, but I ate it) and Asher came to me wanting a piece. I gave him a piece of PUPPY chow and he kept disappearing but coming back for one piece at a time. Well I finally decided to follow him and he wasn't eating it at all but hiving his PUPPY chow to Leo! : ) Smart little guy!

Ok, my update for now.

Also this morning against my wishes, but ok, Andy buzzed Aidens hair. I touched it up with the scissors. Aiden didn't mind this haircut at all. Then he cuddled up on the couch to watch a movie with Leo on this rainy day.

Now I am off to go shopping, alone! Wonderful! AND Andy is taking the boys to the "zoo" ....aka...Cabela's!

Dirty Jobs

A day in the life of a Stay At Home Mom. Glamorous, Glamorous. Flying 1st class.... anyway.

I started my day in my "uniform" of a t-shirt, pony tail and capris. Two boys....what more do I need to say really? Spent the day changing lots of poopy diapers by the 1 year old....more than usual. Wiping the 2 year olds butt after he goes potty. Cleaning up pee off of the floor. Cleaning up pee on the toilet from the biggest boy. Cleaning up juice, milk and whatever other substance off of the floor. Vacuuming up crackers off of the floor. Did I mention I have two dogs too? Pulled two ticks off of one dog today. Went to the basement to clean up and do laundry, at least 5 loads today, nothing new there. Decided to wash the dog beds find 1,000's of bugs in their beds. ewww. More laundry. Nap time....now it is time for me to do dishes, clean out the fridge, lots of goodies there! Wash the dogs, their oily coats are stinky. Forgot to put a bag in the diaper champ and it is starting to smell .... pull out the diapers one by one along with used wipes, q-tips and whatever else is in there and put them in a bag. Oh, don't forget the bathroom garbage! My 2 year old tells me someone pooped in the toilet as there are obvious stains...need to get to that today too. Forever trying to get to the floor of the play room...if there is one! One day in the life! Glamorous!

Reasons I LOVE summer

1. Open windows and fresh air.
2. Popcicles every night!
3. The feeling of the sun penetrating to my core.
4. Walks.
5. Grilling (means less cooking for me).
6. Flip flops
7. Little boys in rompers.

Just the start to my list....it will go on!

Date night


Aiden and I had our Mother/Son date night tonight. We went uptown to see Monsters Vs. Aliens. He got all dolled up with blue gel in his hair and thought he was the man! We got picked up by his friend and his mom and went together. Of course, we had popcorn, which got spilled on the floor right away, pop and nibbs! : ) The theatre was full so Aiden had to sit on my lap....too bad....90 minutes of cuddle time with my 2 1/2 year old little boy! : ) He sat through the movie and thought it was a good one. We came back home and Andy had managed to get Asher to sleep on his own...success! Nursing is almost over for that little guy and I think he will do just fine with the adjustment.

We have now been in the Forest City, Lake Mills, Britt and Mason City papers! The Mason paper is a biggie, so I have gotten a lot of requests in just today about the group. I have a feeling we are going to be growing quickly. I already have 22+ members. Who knew when I moved here almost 2 years ago there were this many SAHMs!

Easter Bunny


A creepy looking bunny! Asher thought this was fun and Aiden was obsessed! The both enjoyed the Easter Bunny this year! This morning we had fun with having a friend over to play and then since Andy had the day off of work I was able to take Aiden and his friend out for a bit. I gave them each a buck and we went to the preschool bake sale and bought some goodies. They thought they were pretty cool with their own money. Then we headed to the park to enjoy the beautiful day! Wore them out!
