Pool party fun

Ok, so it wasn't an official pool party per se, but you could have fooled LMA and BBZ. Last week, Gramma bought a pool with a slide and basketball hoop/ring toss combo for the boys. We blew up the slide but realized it needed to be tied down after we filled the pool with water. Needless to say, we didn't get it secured enough for LMA to really take full advantage of it's use.

Take away the slide and the basketball hoop/ring toss and the boys could have cared less. I was able to catch these photos while they were having fun.

Running out

You know your house has turned into a play house and is over run with toys when your cats can't find a clear spot to take a nap and end up here...



I think he just liked the sunny spot and the train set just happened to get in the way.

Parenthood

You didn't know becoming a parent meant...

• Stacking today's unread newspaper on top of yesterday's unread newspaper.
• Eating dinner like we're trying to break a world record for the most pasta swallowed in the shortest amount of time. Standing up.
• Letting your partner choose between poop and laundry as a topic of conversation.
• Figuring out how to pee without putting the baby down.
• Wearing a bra that looks like something from a 1930s catalog.
• Spending three hours getting the baby to sleep and then waking her up two minutes later to make sure she's still breathing.

A real pair

I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking today. Not sure what else I can really say about these two boys, except they drive me crazy, both in a good and bad way. But LMA steal my heart every time I see him loving on his brother.

I love these boys. They are a real pair.

Momma? What's a ...?

Little Man is in the curious phase. More the "what's this?" and "what's that?" right now, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the why's start.

So the other day, when he came into the kitchen asking me a "what's this" question, I didn't think otherwise... until I turned around.

LMA: Mom?
Mom: Yeah? (Looking down at the dishes I was washing)
LMA: What's a redneck?
Mom: What's a redneck? It's a.... (then I turned around to see this)



And right behind him was daddy with a huge smirk on his face. Needless to say I didn't answer him and told him to go pick something else out to wear.

Memorial Day fun

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial. I also hope everyone appreciated the military service members, both past and present, for all the freedom and effort they have done and are doing for our country. I know I definitely do.

For us, Memorial Day weekend was also the start to pool season. And thankfully, hubby was home or else we definitely would not have enjoyed it with just mommy on duty. I was super excited to see how BBZ would react to the pool. It was a little crowded, which was expected, but we had a great time. Until of course, LMA was running and decided that on the concrete was a great place to learn how to slide into base. Not good. Shredded up the tops of his ankles and one knee. (He decided to add more coals to fire last night and do it again to the knee that wasn't injured the first time).




Later on after dinner we brought out our own little pool. The water from the hose was a little cold (we tried to off set it by adding a couple gallons of hot water), but both seemed to enjoy it.


Looks like I have two water boys on my hands. Can't wait to take them to the spray grounds water park this weekend.
