Swimming Lessons
They had a blast during their week of swimming lessons and I had my first taste of what it will be like to be the mom-taxi. I think we will not do many extra-curricular activities!

Updating again
Maybe someday I will get my act together and post things as they happen. Until then I am forced to go back a few months and write posts. Let me tell you it was very strange to think back to February to this post
about the terrible snow storms we had! Especially when it was well over 90 today with super duper steam bath humidity blah!
In March I added several posts with lots of videos. I dated them to when they actually occurred, so go over to the blog archives and check out any you have missed. I would love to keep working on these posts, I still have to do April, May & June yikes! ...sigh... but it seems that there are other things to do. gee, I sure wish the laundry and dishes would learn how to get done on their own!

Annual Family Survey
Last year I did a survey (click here to read it) with my family and came across it recently. I thought it would be fun to see how their responses have changed and even to do this every year, perhaps around Mother's Day. oops a little late this year! It is funny how some of the answers have changed, although I think that some of the answers would change depending on what day or even what time of day I asked them. Anyway, I hope you enjoy a glimpse into my family's thoughts about me!

New Blog design!
So what do you think of the new blog design? I like it because it shows the power of God through what we see as chaotic weather. Just like our family - God works through us, blessing us amongst the chaos!!!

too funny - what's for lunch
This morning I was asked "What's for lunch?" Me being somewhat lazy today said "How about peanut butter and jam sandwiches?" To which there were three very excited kids. But then I heard this...
Sam But mama, I only want jam!
Carlee I only want peanut butter,
Ben I want peanut butter and jam.
Okay, let me just complete the short order form and I will get those served right up!

too funny - story time
I quite often ask the kids to tell me a story. Here is a couple examples of what I might get... haha enjoy
Ben's Story
Carlee's story (with alot of interference - but a perfect example of how we are really good at tuning each other out when we want to)
Sam's story
at the end he asked me to take a picture of him and Carlee.

too funny - Terminix was here
Here are a couple of videos I took after Terminix was here for the regular visit. I thought it was hilarous that they immediately changed their bottles of bubbles into bug poison!
Okay, they were so excited they forgot to stand back from the camera. I needed a little more of a controlled video... The way Carlee says Buug cracks me up!
I wanted to get another video of Carlee says buuugs because it is just so darn cute. Didn't know I would also get a demonstration in how we take turns, a long warning about the dangers of airplanes and how special bug poison is and also a secret. These kids crack me up!

a few funnies heard recently
I sure have not been very good at keeping my blog updated. Spending too much time on facebook I guess. I have alot of posts to do from the last couple months, but need to upload photos and videos for that, and well that takes time! Quick little funnies on my facebook status are easy! Anyway, I thought I would copy some of them from the last month or so that those of you who are not on Facebook could have a giggle or two as well. Of course, that may only be my Mom and Mel haha enjoy!
Ben comes to sit with me and says "I really want to snuggle with you Mama" of course I can't refuse. He then rubs my cheek and says "I love you Mama" as he leans in for what I think is going to be a kiss. I should have known better! Nope, my darling 3 year old sucked my nose. GROSS! Then he started to laugh hysterically and ran into the other room chanting "I sucked Mama's nose! I sucked Mama's nose!"
Ben and Sam were having a nasty fight. It was over who was going to throw something in the garbage. I sent them to time out, then they were supposed say sorry for fighting and have a hug. Now they are fighting over how big of a hug they are going to have. Isn't it bedtime yet?
Ben tried out my new scissors on my nice comforter. They work - really, really well. Then after I had tamed the Mommy Monster he comes to snuggle with me and says "Mama, I am real sorry I cut your blankie and your pillow". Aww so sweet - wait a minute - what was that about my pillow??? ....sigh.... just another day....
Who knew that a hole puncher would provide 30 minutes of entertainment
Lesson of the day - teach your 4 year old how to unlock the toy handcuffs BEFORE you agree to be the bad guy and get handcuffed
While snuggling with Sam he says "Mama you smell funny" I say "Oh really??" Sam says "well not stinky, or smelly, you just smell different" Then I recalled that I had been in the pool today. LOL
When I opened the oven Ben yells with overwhelming excitement "Oh yummm! My Favorite!!" then he quietly says "Um Mama, what is it?" LOL
The boys are upstairs in the bathroom and I hear "EEEEWWWWW that's gross" followed by hysterical giggling. I honestly do not want to know and I really thought I would have a few more years of sweet boys before all the gross stuff started...sigh...
In case you were wondering what happened at our house today...I now have a bunch of brown sugar beautifully mixed in with the white sugar and a whole lot more decorating my floors, yes, the same floors that I had just finished cleaning not that long ago...sigh...now where did they hide the mop. When I asked what they were doing they said, practicallly in unison "havin a snack" to which my reply was "ummm, well, sugar is not a snack" of course they asked "why not" so I told them "because it is an ingredient!" and thankfully they were happy with that, oh and a bowl of fruit loops. LOL no sugar in those right?
Sam is sitting with me and asks very seriously "Mama, will you be my Mommy forever?" I say "yes!" He says with a huge smile "Oh good, and I am going to be your son forever!!" I nearly melted!!
Wanna start a giggle fest at my house? Just sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Ants, wearing purple underpants" For days after this started Carlee would only wear purple underwear!
The kids are playing outside and I go to check on them. They inform me "We are playing family and you can go back inside now" Apparently I am not part of the family LOL
Ben came screaming into the house "A bee bit me, a bee bit me on my fum" (aka thumb LOL). Then he said "The bee bit me with his bad pokey part, OH MAMA it hurts so much!! I am never ever ever going to pick up a bee ever again!" hmmm lesson learned!
We were watching some cute videos and Sam says, "can we turn this off now, it is disturbing my brain because my brain is still trying to sleep" LOL
The kids were spinning each other and then were just spinning. Carlee started singing "I'm a spinny girl, I'm a spinny girl" Oh golly, I sure hope not LOL
Ben comes to sit with me and says "I really want to snuggle with you Mama" of course I can't refuse. He then rubs my cheek and says "I love you Mama" as he leans in for what I think is going to be a kiss. I should have known better! Nope, my darling 3 year old sucked my nose. GROSS! Then he started to laugh hysterically and ran into the other room chanting "I sucked Mama's nose! I sucked Mama's nose!"

While snuggling with Sam he says "Mama you smell funny" I say "Oh really??" Sam says "well not stinky, or smelly, you just smell different" Then I recalled that I had been in the pool today. LOL
When I opened the oven Ben yells with overwhelming excitement "Oh yummm! My Favorite!!" then he quietly says "Um Mama, what is it?" LOL
The boys are upstairs in the bathroom and I hear "EEEEWWWWW that's gross" followed by hysterical giggling. I honestly do not want to know and I really thought I would have a few more years of sweet boys before all the gross stuff started...sigh...
In case you were wondering what happened at our house today...I now have a bunch of brown sugar beautifully mixed in with the white sugar and a whole lot more decorating my floors, yes, the same floors that I had just finished cleaning not that long ago...sigh...now where did they hide the mop. When I asked what they were doing they said, practicallly in unison "havin a snack" to which my reply was "ummm, well, sugar is not a snack" of course they asked "why not" so I told them "because it is an ingredient!" and thankfully they were happy with that, oh and a bowl of fruit loops. LOL no sugar in those right?
Sam is sitting with me and asks very seriously "Mama, will you be my Mommy forever?" I say "yes!" He says with a huge smile "Oh good, and I am going to be your son forever!!" I nearly melted!!
Wanna start a giggle fest at my house? Just sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Ants, wearing purple underpants" For days after this started Carlee would only wear purple underwear!
The kids are playing outside and I go to check on them. They inform me "We are playing family and you can go back inside now" Apparently I am not part of the family LOL
Ben came screaming into the house "A bee bit me, a bee bit me on my fum" (aka thumb LOL). Then he said "The bee bit me with his bad pokey part, OH MAMA it hurts so much!! I am never ever ever going to pick up a bee ever again!" hmmm lesson learned!
We were watching some cute videos and Sam says, "can we turn this off now, it is disturbing my brain because my brain is still trying to sleep" LOL
The kids were spinning each other and then were just spinning. Carlee started singing "I'm a spinny girl, I'm a spinny girl" Oh golly, I sure hope not LOL

Gardenias Galore
I never cared much for the Gardenia scent until I experienced the real thing! This is right beside where I park the van so I get to smell it everytime I walk by...heavenly!
I had Carlee stand in front of it to show how big it is...and that is when I noticed a rake shoved in there!
As she took it out she said "OH those boys!" LOL
