I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'just a second'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'quick bath today'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'shut the TV off'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'you can do it'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'mall walk'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'more books after naptime'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'you had a friend over yesterday'

..I Take It Back..

..for every time I said 'indoor voices'

..I Take It Back..

I should be feeding you..

I should be helping you brush your teeth..

I should be bathing you..

I should be teaching you new things..

I should be playing with you..

I should be taking you new places..

I miss you all so much

You grew up so much the last year

I don't want you to change without me

All your hugs..all your kiss

All your smiles..all your giggles

That's what I'm going to miss

Grow big..grow strong

Be kind

Open your wings

Don't look back

and it goes on and on and on...

[[I sure hope I didn't get the dumb Lamb-chops song stuck in everybody's head.  That would be terrible]]

*This post is going to be ridiculously long because I haven't posted anything that I want to remember for almost a week...ekk!  If you want to click out now I wont be offended! :)

I'm writing this post as quick as I can because the boys are playing out in the pool & I want to be out there too.  Get ready for the hodge-podge!!

..If you have not yet requested what you want to see...DO IT NOW! {please!}

..The weather for the last week has been A.MAZ.ING!!!  So warm, so sunny!  [which is why I never update my blog anymore!]  We have been playing so much...reading in the hammock outside...splashing in the pool...playing at different parks...even some soccer, baseball, & volleyball!

..Last weekend my Mom & Sister [Alicia] & Friend [Katie] came down to visit.  I had soo much fun!  They just made my weekend!  Shopping in Valley Junction & Jordan Creek, Dinner @ PF Chengs on the patio, & ice cream outside...it doesn't get any better than that!!

..Sunday we watched my friend Lindsey's little man.  You may remember him from this post...he is such a doll!!  

..Tuesday we had F night...post to follow soon.  The kids & I also went to the Farmer's Market here in town.  We had a great time.  Such a fun experience for everyone...the twins learned about the Amish [lets be real..only a little..I don't have a plethora of knowledge on the subject!] This may come as a shock to some of you but they really enjoyed sharing a big scoop of homemade ice cream under the big Oak tree! :)

..Yesterday I came to work at 8:30 and got off at 1 since Mackenzie had a field trip to the Zoo that her mom helped at.  So the girls and I found a new park to play at and ended up staying there until Carter was done with school.  We came home & had dinner and then it was time for me to take off.  It worked out great because I get tickets for my sister, Katie, and myself to go to the Midnight showing of Sex in the City 2 so I went home and watched SITC 1 to prepare!!  We had a great time other than the fact that the theatre was approximately 50*  Oh.my.cold!!!  I'm so thankful they made the 4 hour trip to go to the show with me!  They are the best!!

..Today we met up with Alicia & Katie for breakfast at Panera before they headed back home.  The girls love going there...ok me too! :)

..I know I'm missing like 30 things that I wanted to get recorded but hopefully I'll remember them soon!

..My heart goes out to this family...please pray for them too..

Not Me! Monday...

It is Not Me that's out in the pool with these little beauties right now!

*Weekend post coming later...we must take advantage of this AMAZING weather right now*

NO SCHOOL!!

Carter didn't have school [& it's COLD & rainy today] so I decided to let him have a special day.  He chose to go play & have pizza at Jumpin' Jacks.  We came home so the girls could nap and he decided to have his friend Drew over to play & watch the Alvin & The Chipmunks movie with him.  

He was so happy about his 'special day'..he has told everyone!  I often feel like he just gets thrown in the mix since he's the only boy but he was such a great sport.  He chose the A&C movie because he knew the girls wanted to see it!  He has such a huge heart!  

What fun things do you do on No School Days?!

What did you do this morning?!

Instead of going to the park like we usually do we decided to stick around home.

First we..

[gave]

followed by a little..

and a little..

..before the boys [Carter & Drew] were done at school.

What did you do this morning?

We ♥ the ☀

Not Me! Monday... [Eww!]

I've only got one this week but it's a deep..dirty one!   [Don't say I didn't warn ya! :]

...I did not let my sweet little innocent..now 3 year old..POOP outside at the park last week!  That is soo wrong & nasty & even grosses me out! 

*We were at the park [1/2 mile from home] for a picnic & she said she had to go.  Ok..So I grab her and make a mad dash to the porta potty area..only to find out..HOLY CRAP! The porta potties are GONE!  See it's still pretty early & they have not been put back up for the summer so..I calmly think of option 2 panic..I know there is no way I could hup all 3 of the kids back home before she would poo her pants so..thinking quick on my feet still panicing..I rip her pants off [after the man walks by with his dog, before the girl flying a kite stares] and hold her so she is able to 'do the deed' in the muddy/tree covered area at the park.  YIKES!  By the way...she still is not telling everyone how she 'pooped in the mud!'

Is there anything you 'didn't do' this week?

A little 2 Things I'm Lovin' & Wordless Wednesday..

2 Things I'm Lovin' around my house [yesterday]..

We were BUSY bees yesterday!  Mallory & Bennett turned 3 yesterday!  So no blogging we went to Jumpin' Jacks in the morning to play.  We grabbed Carter from school and met up with Adam at Incredible Pizza [which was NOT 'incredible' but they had fun and loved playing the games afterwards.]  After naps we played outside with the neighborhood kids.  It was a beautiful sunny 75* day!  

Wordless Wednesday..

All Boy!

Carter heading out to play..Baseball Bag & Bats..Soccer Bag & Cleats, & Football in hand! 

The kids were playing outside at 8am today!  Heading to the park for a picnic now...have a wonderful day!

Not Me! Monday...

Well...better late than never I suppose...

...I would NOT be the nanny that hussles the twins [2 1/2] through breakfast... bundles them up...loads them into the vehicle in COLD [like zero degree!] weather...runs errands [Target, Bank, Gas, Salon]...at last THE LIBRARY [which they begged to go all morning!]...and after all the hussling around....
WE'RE 30 MINUTES EARLY TO THE LIBRARY...IT ISN'T EVEN OPEN YET! Ah...yet another reminder why I need to breathe!

...I would not drop food on the floor today, pick it up, and actually feed it to the girls! That would be gross and unsanitary and no nanny should do this!

...And lastly I would most certainly not have checked the mail twice today thinking it was strange we wouldn't get anything, before I realized that it was MLK day. As if the FOUR children home from school... running around the house all day wouldn't be a reminder of the holiday!
