memorial day camping trip

memorial day ethan took the boys camping with his brother logan.  the 3 days of quiet i spent at home were priceless, and all the boys had loads and loads of fun.  not a sunburn or a scratch on them (good job uncle lolo)!
am i the only one who thinks my kids are hilarious?  try not to laugh at these photos:

tweets i don't want to miss

i lied.  i have a few posts to churn out.  it's late and my brain is too fried to work...

someday i am going to print this blog, and since it's our family history i am cheating and repeating some old tweets here so we don't miss them!

can an 18 month old eat a handful of vaseline without problems?

Fri Jul 17 2009 16:26:00

4yo wouldn't get out of the car after preschool. mom dropped him off and he wanted mom to pick him up. not dad! woo-hoo!

this baby has decided to lay horizontally in my belly. she is sooooo grounded as soon as she understands what that means!
Thu May 13 2010 23:06:39

a question you never ask until you are a parent, "is this poop!?"...and then it happens more than you care to count...
Sun May 16 2010 20:58:44

when you see our 3yo you may be tempted to ask about or suggest solutions to his eczema. don't. we've heard it all, we will karate chop you.

a husband who takes kid to preschool and stands in as mama for a field trip AND brings you french toast and a dr. pepper is a keeper.
Wed May 19 2010 09:27:58

3yo commenting on my dinner selection: "ewwwwwww, sow-lid" (salad) he's no dummy.

baby update

the update is, there is no update.
and if you are one of the many many people who i owe a phone call/email to, please understand i'm too round to do anything but watch tv and not clean my house.

regular blogging to resume in a few weeks, once new baby and family are situated.

(who else thinks it's totally hilarious i think it will only take a few weeks to situate?)
