A day off…

Today was the first day since last week the boys and I stayed home all day. The shop has been pretty busy keeping Casey and I hard at work and the boys playing in the back of the shop, but today we stayed home (so I could do laundry etc). Zach spent all day in his Nemo undies and his blue Nike hat, Casey J spent all day in his diaper (just a note – I have given up on potty training for now and will try again in a few weeks). I got a few things done but not enough, still need to pick up the mess our new puppy has made in the yard, build the hermit crabs a bigger cage so they will be happy hermit crabs, and more cleaning.
The boys beds are bunked now (Zach sleeping on top) so now I am trying to rearrange their room for maximum play area. I have not been to the grocery store in like two weeks, we have more food at the shop than at home. Business is staying steady and for that we are thankful, especially since both vehicles are in the shop. The jeep is getting a rebuilt transmission for $1500 and my faithfull Neon needs so big work done too. Well more later, pictures of the hermit crabs coming soon…

I wish I had no Parents…

Tonight at the dinner table after three glasses of water we told Zach no more water (to much getting up in the middle of the night to pee) and he got upset. He then told me he wished he “had no more parents” and wanted to “throw us in the trash can”….. Wow…
So Casey decided that we should “ignore” him so he didn’t have parents anymore. Just for 30 minutes until bedtime. He kept talking and asking for desert etc and we kept “ignoring’ him. Then finally he jumped on his daddy, grabbed his face and “wished” us back and said a hundred times he was sorry….
I had to go in the other room to keep from laughing/crying at him. I am sure that’s not the last time he’ll want to put his parents in the trash can!

Happy Birtday Boys!

Today I took the boys to Wonder World in San Marcos to ride the train and feed the deer and turkeys. They had a great time and Mrs. Jennifer and Ben went with us. Then we went to Mr. Gatti’s to have pizza for our Birthday lunch! A pretty simple day just getting ready for the big party on Saturday!

Chuck-E-Cheese (Augh!)

Yesterday the boys and I left shortly after breakfast for Aunt MeMe’s house in San Antonio. Of course it had to be the day it decided to rain all day, we need the rain but driving in heavy rain with my two precious boys can be draining. I would realize every now and then I was forgetting to breath I was concentrating so hard! We arrived around 11am and as the boys played I quickly fixed Aunt MeMe’s computer (that is another long scary story) and made sure it worked. Then we took them to Chuck-E-Cheese (early birthday gift). We don’t have one in Lockhart or San Marcos so CiCi’s is our equivalent but this time they got to go to the REAL Chuck-E-Cheese. Talk about little boy overload! MeMe gave them a pocketful of tokens and said go play, and boy did they! They had a blast, I needed a nap! After lunch we went to the Toys-R-Us on our way home and I found the boys big Birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy. We found them a big bounce castle with a slide on it made by Little Tykes. We are going to put it up Saturday before the party for all to enjoy. All in all and eventful day. I knew it had worn the boys out because they slept until almost 8am and they usually are up around 7am! Birthdays quickly approaching!!!
