Ear Plugs

Grandma loses them, my kids find them!The worst part about it...?

When I find them they have teeth marks in them!

ICK!

We can't blame grandma entirely though...after a sleepover last weekend Paislee told Grandpa, "Danpa - you nored soooo woud you wate me up!"

What a week!

Wow! I definitely did NOT intend to leave that last post as my newest post for as long as I did!

But, to say I was incredibly lazy last week would be an understatement. I did only what was required and not one bit more...

My eyes stayed shut each morning until the last possible moment, causing utter chaos to get ready for school. Adilynn had a granola bar running out the door each AM and school lunch every PM(there wasn't even BBQ rib sandwiches on the menu). Our dinners consisted of cereal, sandwiches, ramen or take-out - not one home cooked meal.
We won't even bring up the messes that are still waiting to be cleaned/sorted/washed...

I am still in denial that my built in morning babysitter/laundry do-er/carpool specialist (aka grandma)* has indeed moved out. So much so, I have not yet touched the laundry since her parting last Monday. (who needs clean underwear anyway?)

I did manage to celebrate this cute boy turning 4 -
more to come on that, soon!

And, we managed to get out for another date night Friday as well. This time with Mike's side of the family. And not nearly as controversial as last weeks, despite spending most of it watching 2 boys roll around on the floor in somewhat revealing clothing. Okay, okay, before you get the wrong idea - it was my nephew's JV High school wrestling tournament! A completely new thing for me - a big deal in Mike's fam. Mike thought I was a complete idiot when I asked "there are points in wresting?" and informed me that "they aren't allowed to take their singlets off while they are on the mat" when I told him they forgot to remove their leg bands at the end of the match. (gasp!) I never expected them to undress in public, mat or not! But please do not let this take away from Richard's talent...

He is a freshman wrestling JV and was quite impressive. Barely loosing the first match which consisted of several cheap shots (he had the bloody nose to prove it) and cradling(wrestling lingo) the second guy like a pro, pinning him for the win. I look forward to watching him pin many more in his career and learning all the rules so I am ready to go come time for Luke to don the singlet and pin his opponents.

Saturday, I ended my week with some serious girl time; wedding dress shopping with Mal and lunch and a movie with the girlfriends. (Bride Wars is a def must see!) SO here is to a new week, all geared up to put last week behind me and get stuff done!

Happy {almost} Monday people!

*My mom has moved out but is looking for a house nearby, hopefully within a 5-20 minute drive. We are pushing for the 5ish number but will take the 20 minutes over 12 hours any day. Yipee for a grandma close enough to babysit :)

Welcome to May!

I just have one word for this...CRUEL!

3 things

Things have been pretty boring around our house, just twiddling our thumbs, waiting for it to warm up! Looking back on our week - Am. Idol seems to be the highlight, in hopes of "catching up" we have spent the past 5 nights on the couch, glued to the DVR. Here are the 3!

1. Realized today that it has been 3 seasons since we have watched this show. We were obsessed for the first 3 seasons and somehow fell off the bandwagon. But we are officially back on and I have to admit that it has been fun watching again...






2. Pretty sure that Brooke and David will stay my favorites 'til the end!















3. This is my one MAJOR drawback to watching...


Is it just me?
Does she seem obnoxious/ridiculous to anyone else?

That's all!

Some more questions...

*Don't ya just love spending $25 on Bazzil cardstock Thursday night, only to have it go on sale Monday morning @ 40%off?

*When a wife takes her husband lunch {in a blizzard, with 3 kids} because he is swamped and too busy working - only to find him in a heated Foosball game with 3 other co-workers - should she be upset?

*And most importantly, do you think this little one might be excited that her big sister played dress-up with her?

Just wondering!
