Oh Batman Resolutions

By
My boys have been super into Batman lately. Lincoln wears the full outfit at least for part of the day, every day. Yes, we have an affection for all super heros lately (maybe due to watching The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises within the recent weeks?) but specifically the boys have been pretending to be Batman. With all of their running around, stunt work and saving the day, Dylan looked at me and said "Mom, you can be Alfred. You know he cleans up and cooks all of the meals." oh lovely. So that's what I'm here for. The previously mentioned child also said that he was going to learn how to cook as his new year's resolution by helping and watching me in the kitchen more. When I asked him to help me tonight he replied, "My new year's resolution starts tomorrow." Boy oh boy. So not only does the boy have sass, I obviously need to work on getting the boys to help out more.

So officially here are my three resolutions.

1. To teach my boys how to help out more and be age appropriately responsible.

2. To be a more playful family.

3. To be on time where we need to be.

Shane's was a little more simple - swear less, pray more -

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

By
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 ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

By
 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
