Planning for the unexpected

No I guess you can't plan for the unexpected but I like my day to have a little more wiggle room in it than some people who like to schedule everything. We have a whole lot of nothing planned all the time and luckily that works for us. Today I decided we should go out and water the garden before Lincoln went down for his afternoon. That lead to us picking our first zucchini of the season (yes it's late, we didn't plant until July 2nd so we are getting a late start in the garden game). Dylan was a good helper and watered all the flowers by the front door and then we decided to water the back lawn which led to an impromptu run through the sprinklers with our clothes on. and yes, all of us ran through them. Lincoln actually wasn't too scared and enjoyed getting a little wet and the dog even had fun trying to eat the water. Once we were nice and soaked and grassy the boys had a quick bath which also led to me cleaning and rearranging the master bath while they squirted each other. I got Lincoln out and Dylan was ready too and decided to try to climb around the tub and he slipped and hit his head and scratched his arm on the faucet. Everyone is ok and resting or sleeping now which is nice for mommy to get some things done around this crazy place. We have been so busy with vacations, hanging out with the family, Shane has been getting the house prepped for painting (hopefully finished before the last week of August so we can sit back and enjoy our 3rd anniversary) and Danielle just went back to her moms for a few weeks. Ah summer. One month left of this craziness and then we get back to the school schedule which is sounding a little enticing yet sad at the same time.

  1. Ohhh, such a fun day but I'm sorry Dylan hit his head. I hope he's ok. Please give him a little kiss on his forehead for me.

To Infinity and Beyond

Well beyond five years that is. February 22 marks our first date and somehow Shane even remembered that. Since I feel like a crumb-bum of a wife lately I set up a special little thing to show him how much these last five years have actually meant to me. (I get that it isn't our wedding anniversary but any day can be special so I wanted to make this special too) I wrote him a little love letter and put out five things that are meaningful in our relationship together, quite the mishmash if you ask me, but it works. In no particular order: 1. Motley Crue - We we to our first concert together over the summer to see Shane's favorite band and I got to get my 80's on while he got to relive the glory days. 2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - We went to see this movie with our nephews for our first official date. I think it's sweet that now the boys watch it all the time. 3. Coffee - We have shared many conversations, hours, and events all while drinking coffee. We both love it ...

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Sisters

 Who knew that when I was a kid, forced to share a room with my arch enemy, that one day I would grow up and have an automatic best friend? I finally realize how important siblings are in your life as I watch my boys play together. Yes I make them share and play together and take care of each other. They will always be around no matter how sad or angry you make them. Heck I sat on my sister when she was inside a sleeping bag and my friends and I used to tease her *Jackie, she is so tacky...* but I think she's forgiven me. She came for an overnight trip last week to meet Warner and to help me out around the house when Shane first went back to work and I couldn't be happier to have her in my life. I can text or call or facebook her any time to tell her a funny story or ask her for advice. We're even attempting to take all of our combine 5 kids (three under two!) on an 800+ miles on way road trip in a few weeks. I didn't appreciate all the family time when I was younger b...
