Jibber jabber...

Gage:  I sure do like these cartoons with Yosa-Mite Sam!

Krew jabbing Boone in the armpits with his fingers: "Chewey twickle twickle twickle!"

I set Boone down on a blanket so I could make dinner.  He immediately starts screaming...  and does so for about a squillion minutes.  My ears are on the verge of bleeding...

Lauren:  "Mom!  Boone is crying his nuts out!"
Smirk.  Me: "Oooh, that sounds bad."
Pause.
Me: "Do you mean crying his guts out?"
Lauren:  "Oh.  Yeah."

Tee hee hee.

Cute stuff I made this week...

For the teachers for all their hard work this year:

 The little note in the corner says "D is for Mrs. Dent, a very special teacher." and so on...

Shadow boxes from Target ($20), 3 packs Crayola crayons, ($4.50)  Angst and burns ($10000000000000)

Super cheap and cute tea cups for our Activity Days party. 

The girls loved them, and I think I will make these again sometime for a birthday party!

 I made this 2 years ago, but oh, he's cute!

He was watching Thomas the Train while I did my crafting, and you can see he didn't even notice my phone in his face, he was so engrossed!  I'm amazed kids like that show...  

Fishy Thwim!

Now that Krew is no longer the baby, he gets his own snacks.  And "enhances" their appeal.

He's so darn cute I didn't have the heart to tell him how revolting this looks. 

Until I had to clean it off the rug...

Happy day...

 Yesterday was Boone's blessing day.

Tony gave him a beautiful blessing and he was quiet as a church mouse.  Phew.

He is so big now, he looked like he should hop down from his daddy's arms and walk back to his seat!

He had his 3 month check three days ago and already weighs 15 pounds.  What a lunker!

 It's about time you get me outta that monkey suit!  Geez!

 And...

Our failed attempt at a cute kids pic on Easter.  And yes, I'm wearing the same outfit.

Life for us is super busy right now... sorry there haven't been alot of blog updates.  The kids are all doing soccer and baseball, scouts, school/preschool, fieldtrips, etc. and Tony just started a new project in Brigham City, so we will be seeing a little less of him.  But I am ready for a break!  I am really looking forward to the family reunion trip in July.  I've talked Tony into taking TWO WHOLE DAYS off from work.  He is resisting, but the hotels are paid for, so he's committed.

Also in other irrelevant info:  My diet is crap.  I'm considering just buying Spanx.

Brace myself...

Jossy got off the bus today with her tattle face on;

"Gage told the substitute busdriver that he needs a bra to hold up his bum!"

Oh goody.  Can't wait to get the phone call on that one...

In other, less gripping news, Krew now says his favorite cartoon in "Peter Pants."
Which is just funny.

Lurv them ZZZZZZs!

Boone slept through the night last night.

From about 10:30 to 6:30.

It was blissful.

I felt so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed that I've already biked 5 miles (indoor stationery, of course) fed and dressed ALL (shocking) my children and started the wash (gasp)! Blogged (shoddily)

and it's barely 9!

Sleep... Oh how I've missed you!

The Oreo Diet

So...
You know how after you have a baby, there are some certain areas that are a little more squishy, a little softer than they were when you were, say, seventeen.
Or when you were not pregnant, even.

And nobody loves this.
Me included.
So I have been TRYING to eat wisely, even exercise when I feel like I'm completely awake (which is rare).
But I weighed myself this morning, and wouldn't you know... I haven't lost a single pound! DANGIT!
But then I think back to what I ate yesterday...
Healthy breakfast.
Small lunch.
Sensible dinner.
And a stack of Oreos because !dagnabbit! I was still hungry.
Oh, and a snickerdoodle.

Atkins didn't work for some folks.

Apparently the Oreo diet doesn't work for me.

Better luck today, maybe?

I think it will be easier, because now the cookies are pretty much gone.
