All we need is a little bit of water....

 

 

 

 

 

Summer time in Maine is way to short. At our house we have learned to enjoy every moment of it. It will not be long until they are back in school and the cold weather rolls back around. Nothing is more fun than a hose and a few buckets of water. Makes me wonder why I spent so much money on pools. All they really love to do at my house is play with the hose and have water fights. Dylan and Mason get buckets. William although the youngest but most clever always goes for the hose. Summer is by far my favorite season. There is something about going from your pajamas into your bathing suit that is just FUN. Last week when it rained Mason came out in his bathing suit. I reminded him that it was raining. He reminded me that rain is water and water is wet and nothing is better to get weight then your bathing suit. Who could argue with that logic.......

And you think YOU had a bad DAY

I get pretty frustrated with Josh coming home from work grumpy.(like yesterday) SERIOUSLY???? So you maybe had a few clients who were rude to you. I got peed on. So you may have gotten lost a few times. I was called a POOP BUTT 5 times by a 2 year old while his brothers laughed hysterically next to him. You may have had to work a 12 hour day. I dragged three kids through the grocery store, the bank, and of course back to the grocery store because SOMEONE lost a shoe. You may have had a bad day because you "were overloaded with work" HA really. I have gotten three kids ready for the day, cooked 3 meals. Done 11,000 loads of laundry, cleaned puke, Vacuumed, lost the kids, found the kids, cleaned boogers, bugs, and blood. And still had supper on the table at 5:30 pm. Think about that honey next time you THINK you had a rough day.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

 

Here is a photo of my dad and the boys on fathers day. I am thrilled to have a wondeful man like my dad in my childrens life. My dad has had many health issues in the past year. There were times I cried myself to sleep not sure of what his future would hold. I am absoultely blessed to have my dad in mine and my childrens life. Watching my dad with the boys never ceases to amaze me. They look at him with the same respect and awe as I always did/do. My boys are so lucky to have so many positive male role models in their live.

Not a good way to start a Friday......

Wow. I am usually thrilled to see the week draw to an end. I love Fridays as I have always stated. Today not loving it right now. Awoke to fighting. That is always a red flag on how the rest of the morning may go. I then turned over pretending to ignore the obvious chaos that is about to erupt in my living room. The yells " I had it first" grow louder. I pull the pillow harder over my head. keep in my mind my house is set up so there is a kitchen and playroom between my room and the living room so in order to hear them from my room they have to be at quite an elevated volume. Def. not your typical "inside voice" As the loud voices become shrieks I can no longer ignore I drag myself out of bed and head towards the volume. Then I see it on my way through the kitchen. My husband sitting at the table. Reading the paper and drinking coffee? WHAT? For real? Do you not hear your kids killing each other in the room next to you? I shake my head at him. Give him my best "if look could kill" stare and walk on.
Yep there I find it. One kid on top of the other kid grabbing for a REMOTE CONTROL. Both yelling that they had it first and then a two year old joining in to the chaos because WELL of course no one likes to be left out. SO he is just shrieking and laughing at his crazy brothers. I pull Mason off Dylan. Mason's feet kicking and punching the air at this point. His 36 pounds seeming closer to 100. I sit him on the couch take the remote from Dylan and TURN OFF THE TV. I then walked back to my bedroom, closed the door and did my best to ignore them while I started getting ready for what is sure to be a crazy Friday in our house.

OUT OF ORDER

That is the sign I have been wanting to hang on my blog now for over a month....=-( We are just getting out computer and internet back this week, yet so far NO such luck on retrieving the pictures of the crashed hard drive. As you can tell by my blog. I LOVE my picture. Apparently backing them up never crossed my mind....=-( I currently lost 2,000 pictures. I am so hoping they can be retrieved and not for an outrageous amount. so far NO luck..........
