SHHHH

Don't tell Lane that I am telling you that the other night as he was screwing the blinds into the french door of our bedroom so the blinds wouldn't swing/move. Well with Coley's help the screw hit the glass through the glass and SNAP...CRACKLE... POP! It popped for hours! It wasn't actually his fault and he was sooo embarrassed and bummed about it, I felt bad. Here is a pic of the outside of it.... My Aunt Grace says it is kinda pretty! I told her I payed money for the crackled glass in my kitchen so maybe we ought to keep it!
We called Valley Glass and hope it will be replaced soon, before it crumbles to the ground at 2am and scares the shisac out of us!

Field trip

Here are some pictures of the Field trip that Dawson's preschool class took last week to the Zoo. It was in the 40's and raining... other than that, is was real fun!

Daws, Cole, and Cole

Daws and Kydon

Dawson, Kydon, and Rook

The gentleman's club

crazy kids riding a tiger (my oldest looks a bit special in this one)

Not sure all the kids and names but here they are with their darling teacher Kelly

Ordinary day

Today is a normal day.
Get up, make breakfast, jump in the shower, look at the clock and realize I am running late AGAIN! Then take Dawson to school, run a few errands, go get my shot, go to the bank, go to the beauty supply house, and then pick up Dawson and head back home. Get home about 12:30 make lunch for the boys. Let them eat it outside on the small deck that we have right now and then let them have an overdose of otter pops.

Cole then gets hurt tells me he wants to lay down and sweep so I take him to his bed and turn on his humidifier for the noise factor and say nighty night.

Then Daws asks me, "Mom, do you want to race me to see who can do puzzles the fastest?" I am so not wanting to but say "I would actually love to BUT I have a lady coming to get her hair done and I need to clean up lunch and vacuum the floors, and put all your toys back in the toy room." He then heads straight to the closet and yanks out the vacuum system and says, "mom, I will help you cuz the faster you get done then the more time you will have to race me with the puzzles!"

So I said, "Fair enough little buddy!" and he vacuumed while I cleaned up the kitchen and we had a puzzle race! He won.... again!

I am loving that he is thinking this way, and hope he continues it in his adult life. I could use myself a little helper! (it is 10 hours later and the vacuum is still out, hmm how do i trick him into putting that away next time?)

Did hair, made a quick very unhealthy dinner, chatted online for a bit, got the boys in their jammies and they read books for awhile, then ran and got a few things at the local grocer, remembered I had forgotten to return a key and some hooks to my Aunt and raced them over there.

Home again and it feels GREAT to be HOME! (i love being home) Brush two sets of little snaggles and prayers are said and off to slumber land they go!

That is my day.... if you are still reading this and if you weren't bored before you sure are now! Sorry this is what happens when my hub leaves town.....

SYTYCD

I too am a HUGE fan of So You Think You Can Dance.... I am sure most of you saw this on Thursday but in case you didn't, it is pretty amazing! By far my favorite audition! It is so freaking cool YET kinda creepy how he moves his body like that! Mia was right, it was inhuman like!
Sorta long but worth the watch.......enjoy
Robert Muraine pop dance

BUBBLES

One of the boys favorite things about our new house is the master bath tub!! And I must admit it has been GREAT! I have never been a bather, but I am realizing now it is cuz we have never had a tub worthy of hopping in and getting lost in the bubbles!
Coley was in absolute heaven and Daws would have been if he didn't have a wicked cold at the time. Sorry for the handful of pics but I think kids are so stinken cute with wet eyes and bubble hats and beards!

I will post more about how MUCH we LOVE our house lata!

OVERWHELMED???

..........Just a little!

p.s. we are having a big ol' yard sale in June sometime. Keep ya posted!

Coley's turn...

Ok so I couldn't have a whole post for Daws and not one for Cole. Here are a bunch of random pics I found of this little Super/Rock star! He and Daws are soo different in so many ways and then in other ways I can see such similarities.
Dawson was much quicker in speaking and conversations but Coley is much more of an athlete (aka basket ball is his first love, baseball, and anything to do with a ball and running). They are USUALLY great friends but I would be lying if I didn't say they also didn't go at it! (mostly when i am not looking) Cole is now having full on conversations with us and saying funny things. Scares ya as a parent when they say things that you say and shouldn't!!! I have been working real hard on that!
Anyways, enjoy my little Coley Monster.... warning, ANOTHER pic overload!

He was such a hubba bubba

Poor baby had RSV at 6 weeks!
