Trying to keep up with the blogging of things...

Day 146-151

 Uggg, it had been one of those days with this guy. This is right after he got done screaming, "I no like food!" at the tippy top of his lungs. 

 I got this beautiful canvas in the mail. I love it so much. 

 Then this one decided to give me fits. The house is a disaster and I think if one more kid comes down with a fever I may just die.

 Cat in the yellow bucket hat. We paint our faces almost daily these days.

 Tug O' war at the science center.
It was comic con downtown. The boy was in heaven. He saw so many celebrities he could hardly stand it. Mario and Luigi being a favorite. So many dressed up people milling around. I felt real bad for the guy in a full on Chewbaca suit. He had the head off but still. It was hot. Also there was a lady dressed up like the lizard lady in Doctor who. full face lizard in a full length period gown with bustle and all. I would have tried to get a picture but it was hot and that lady needed to get inside. Her lizard might have melted off.

Finding some shade on this hot hot day in May.

Catching up...

Day : 138 - 145

 He just loves it up there. 

 The best part of a cat in the hat show is meeting the actor afterwards. He loves to hear that you loved his performance. ;) 

 Big shoes to fill. 

 Going to school. 

 Oh to be free.

 When playing Mario Bros. you need to know how to jump.

 In his happy place.

 The task at hand: Climb the tree. He did it all by himself!

Face painting and a BBQ. 

Week long sickness...

Day 130 - 137

 Mother's day, I wanted a pic with all my kids but I could only catch this little monster. 

 Round 2 or 3 or maybe 4 of nasal doom. Heaven help us.

 The red nose. 

 There is a ukulele photo contest and I tried out my remote control app on my phone. 

 Grandma saved this little bird. A Bohemian waxwing. We took him to a shelter to get help and hopefully released back into the wild.

 After a day of rain, a sky full of white clouds.

Everybody is sick! The sick bed.

Birthday Boy...

129/365

Fun filled birthday. We went to the dinosaur museum, saw some friends who stopped by to say hi, then we had a fun party. He had a wonderful time. 

Last week...

124 - 128/365

Laundry day

Movies with my bestie and Spock.

Birthday candy card from his primary teacher. He's was so happy.

If you can wake up a pirate, you do.

That one time my mom made a donkey pinata into a dinosaur pinata. Luckily the boy approved. 

Sunday Exhaustion...

123/365

Sunday exhaustion. He passed out during scripture study and I wished that I had thought of it first. I am trying hard to love Sunday. Someday I will get there. Until then there are caramels in the pantry, and I know that because I locked myself in there for a time out and helped myself to a few. Yeah, Sunday and I are working on our relationship. We need counseling.

On the daily...

122/365

When I got them up this morning, they wanted to check and make sure it was morning time. 

Ready to greet the day!

"Mom, I'm going to sing you a song."

*struuuuum*

"Camouflage! It's a pretty short song."

I am doing a series of their favorite things. I love that she picked out this whole outfit. It makes me feel like we are kindred spirits. I would like to think I would wear tu-tus and chucks on the regular, if I were cuter. 

A little past due...

Day 117 - 121

 They built their own camper trailer. 

 Best seat in the house

 Or maybe it's this seat?

I asked him to pose with his favorite things. His Mickey collection. He has a favorite though, the smallest one. We lose him from time to time and bed time is a misery. The other night we couldn't find him and he told me, "Find him mama, he's just a little guy." Luckily, we did. 

First of May, first swim, and with out of town cousins to boot!
