Ocean Theme- Rainbow Fish

We are still working on our ocean theme. I don't know if I posted these pictures. I'm bad like that. I know I added them to my flickr account. Here are the kids making their ocean picture. I had them paint glue on the bottom and sprinkle sand on it. They also added shells that we collected from the beach and ripped paper for the seaweed.

Moe's

Cole's

Notice Cole's. She just doesn't want to stop. She just wants to keeping adding things. Today we read rainbow fish and we made paper plate fish.

FOUR HOURS LATER! Yes, that is a Sponge Bob reference not really four hours. Even though it felt like it. Michael and I had ours hanging up already and Cole was still working on hers.

She kept going back to the book. "See Mommy look I need more colors. I don't have enough colors" She was also very unhappy that I only cut the tail fin. "Mommy this fish has five fins. I HAVE to have five."

This baby is going to need a few days to dry before we can hang it up.

it seems like such along time ago

It was only a year ago we had to sleep under the stars. It really does seem like a long time ago. I don't know how I survived. I can honestly say that I did not expect to do this much work to our house.

Have you ever...

been out and about and have a fabric softener sheet or better yet a pair of panties fall out of one of your pant legs. How embarrassing, right? Yes, I've done it. Well, I think I can do one better than that. Yesterday I went to Home Depot with a slice of cheese stuck to my a**! OK you can stop laughing now. I mean it stop laughing! How? Why? You ask. Well, I don't really know. I do know that I gave Moe a slice of cheese before we left. I'm guessing he put it down on the chair right before I sat down to put on shoes. I mean stop laughing!!!

Meeting Aiden

Yay we finally got to meet little Aiden Joseph. I just want to kiss those cheeks. I'm so ready for another one or two or three or four!

Just look at these two. I had to fight them to get to hold him.

No Child Left Inside

No Child Left Inside except under doctors orders. Moe and Cole have such bad allergies right now the doctor told me to keep them indoors. I tried to get a picture of Cole with the nebulizer on but she hates it now and as soon as I walk away she rips it off.

YAY I'm a loser!

Seriously, I lose at everything. I went to a auction last week for the St Rose school. I went because I was invited to go with my sisters in laws and my mother in law. It was a girls night out and I will take them whenever I can. Other than that I should have stayed home and hid my money under the mattress, because I didn't win a thing. I used to go to bingo with a girlfriend- I never won! I still can't help playing the lottery once in a while, but I don't play anywhere near as much as I used to.

So why am I happy I'm a loser? I get to stay home with my kids for another year.

After a lot of pressure and some not so nice comments from family, I finally resigned myself to put the kids in preschool in September and go back to work. I have to admit the thought of making money was probably what did me in. So, I did my best and lost. They only had 45 openings for the school and there was 70 kids. They put all the names in a basket and pulled out the lucky kids that would go to school next year. Out of the 45 openings we were the 68/69th picked. So I'll say it again. YAY I'm a loser!

Congratulations Celina

Congratulations Celina on your new BABY BOY! SRPRISE! Thats right a boy! He is going to look beautiful in pink.

My best friend just called her daughter just had her baby a few minutes ago. I'm guessing Jade Nicole in not the name she'll being going with now.

Happy Friggin Birthday Honey

Argh! OK so today is my husbands birthday and let me tell you that man drives me insane sometimes. Yesterday the kids and I made a cake for him. A very yummy chocolate cake with a chocolate/peanut butter icing. Since he will not be home today. I asked him if he wanted me to bring it out to Uncle Rays today since he will be there working all day on his birthday. OK great fine... OK the point of my story... I said, "Matthew(our nephew) can't have peanut butter and it has peanut butter in the icing."

He says to me "I don't really like peanut butter." Since friggin when? His favorite snack it funny bones- peanut butter and chocolate!! His favorite candy Reeses peanut butter cups!!! Sometimes I just want to strangle that man!

So today I'll say -Happy FRIGGIN Birthday Honey!!! You better smile and enjoy that cake because it maybe the last one you ever get.

proud new parents

Yes that's right we are the proud parents of four new painted lady butterflies and about a dozen lady bugs. Of course we missed the births. The kids did not got far from them yesterday, but it when ever they turned their back a new little life showed up.

You'll want one too

Everyone in our family know that Coles sandwich is tuna with pickles. Let me tell you she know whats going to be a hit. Just ask Uncle Ray, he now has his tuna sandwiches with pickles too. I think we may have a new sandwich sensation everyone is going to be wanting one.

The other morning Cole couldn't wait until I was finished dressing for breakfast so she decide to make her own sandwich. - I go into the living room and she's sitting on the couch eating two slices of cinnamon bread with chocolate cookies in the middle.

Oh, you know you want one!
