My 200th

I'm taking a momentary break to PAUSE for my 200th post!

I'll give you the top 10 things I'd like 200 of....

1. I don't think anything else really needs to be said the picture speaks for itself!

2. OH YEAH - 3 boys = NO PEACE AND QUIET (unless something VERY BAD is happening!)

I would even take 200 seconds of this sometimes!

3. More minutes in my day!!!

4. I'm taking them while I can get them... They are growing up so quick!

5. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... ALL mothers potty training boys need a semi full of these! (Hayden has done great, but his aim is WAY off at least once a day! I have the cleanest toilet rug around... it's been washed once a day recently!)

6. Um YEAH!!!

7. I promise you this is my brain recently... I could use 200 more brain cells!

8. 200 hours with my man! (That = 8.33333 days... for whatever it's worth!)

9.SLEEP!!! ( real - uninterrupted, deep, relaxing sleep!)

10.

What is one thing you'd like 200 of?

My hubby wants 200 of these..

I think I'd really end up with #7 being my problem even more!

Get REAL

So it's sooo like me to be late... After visiting McMommy and Farm Fresh Iowa I just HAD to post this Real Life fun! Here's me...

1. Fridge

My Husband HATES all the "clutter" on the outside, but I love the pictures on the side of people we don't see often and the boys love their magnets!


2. Closet

Nothing exciting about this - it's my closet (there is not door... just a curtain) 3. Toilet

Not your normal toilet pic....

This is quite appropriate because he is also the reason I have a BIG bottle of Clorox wipes around the toilet... we haven't perfected the AIM yet!















4. Where are the kids?



Well... NOW they are sleeping (YEAH), but when I took the pictures.

Carter was - I don't know somewhere around here!

Hayden was - see the above picture

Wyatt - this is what I found... that is a bottle rocket in his hand... don't know where he found that one!

















5. Kitchen sink



Yep... it's a sink!









6. Fav shoes













7. Fav room

Recently redone... so it's my favorite...although I'm not a fan of cooking!










8. Laundry


Both were FULL









9. Self Portrait

Me in all my glory (and sweat!)

Feel free to GET REAL too!

5 things

So it's been a pretty boring week... which I am SOOO OK with.. "excitement" isn't always necessary around here! A few things have happened that are interesting...

1) We signed Carter up for FOP (Fraternal Order of Police) baseball. This will be our first organized activity for our kiddos... it has begun! Next year he will be old enough for Optomist Soccer (his real love)! SO life will be even busier!

2) I have had the sinus cold junk that is going around... YEAH! OH well it could be worse - so I'll deal with the cold!

3) It SNOWED last night ... about an inch! I'm so ready for all this snow and cold to be over... BUT not quite ready for summer!

4) We have the opportunity to get "new" cabinets for our kitchen! Some were donated to the camp! So hopefully we will be able to replace the ones we have soon! (I'm also hoping to get our door replaced too! - We actually had snow blowing INTO the house from a snowstorm in January!.. It was crazy!)

5)Bryan is almost finished all the bunk beds he's been working on in the past 2 months... they look AMAZING! I'll post pictures soon!

I received an e-mail today with interesting tips... I think I'll post a little each time I actually post...

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Save some dough!

I had to post again today... I know I said I would post pictures they are coming soon... BUT I'm soooo excited about this site I found.

I just uploaded and ordered almost 400 pictures at Snapfish! (OK so it was for HAYDEN'S first year of life!... I'm a little behind to say the least.) Each one was only $0.09 after getting the first 20 free! THEN I found a coupon site that saved me the $18 on shipping and handling.. so almost 400 pictures for $32! That sounds like a great deal to me! I also am going to be a regular on coupon creep... the have hundreds of sites that can save you LOTS of money on the web! CHECK IT OUT... it's worth it!!!!!

OK how about one picture just for fun!

WOW what a week end!

To let you know how my weekend has gone... just read my friend Emily's blog on "Sick Men" that will say it all! In all fairness, I am learning to be more compassionate... don't laugh all you who know me. All my guys were REALLY REALLY sick. I am in fact fervently praying that I don't get it as well! I guess I'll know the answer to that one very soon! There is however so much truth to what she says... hypothetically speaking of course!

PJ's

I need a computer for my shower!! I couldn’t think of anything to write today, so I went to shower and thought of sooo much. Now that I’m done I can barely remember my ideas! (Ok I started this 4 hours ago…)
The funniest thing just happened… Carter and Hayden were helping me make spritz cookies. Hayden was having problems with the sleeves on his pjs, they were too long. So I started to push them up for him when I looked at Carter… they had on the wrong pjs. Carter had put on Hayden’s so Bryan just put others on Hayden BUT they were Carter’s. YES we did take a picture. Since I can’t get the picture option to work just look to the right side for my new pictures to be added.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow. Bryan is going to watch Carter and Hayden while I go shopping. I’m so tired of being confined to home… it will be great to get out. That is if we can get out, I just heard we are supposed to get 2 – 3inches of system snow! I’ve convinced Judith to go with me so we will have lots of fun. The bravest I get with taking all three is to Wal-Mart and that only happens twice a month… that’s about all I can handle!! I’m becoming a bigger fan of online shopping now!! Suddenly the shipping doesn’t sound too expensive! I made the comment last night in the class I teach (2nd and 3rd graders) that the “house was getting smaller and smaller”. One of the girls asked me how that could be. I just had to laugh.
