ugh!!

#1 My mom is blow drying her hair. I run into her room, through the open door, to her bathroom to tell her I am running to Julie's to get the shop vac so I can vacuum Walter's Blazer, so I can sale it! :) She is stark naked! I scream, she screams, we all scream cause she's naked!! (no ice cream, thanks!)...AHHHH!!

#2 So, I was sitting there at Carmax, talking to the salesman. We were waiting for the appraisal of Walter's Blazer. Grady sitting on my lap. I pick him up to adjust and make him happy again and there it was....green poop on my jeans...LOVELY!!

#3 I come home and when Winni wakes up from her nap she calls to me. I go into my room, where she is asleep on my bed and she informs me that...ooops, she peed on my bed...SUPER!!

#4 As I fix dinner, Trae comes in with a handful of something he fixed himself. As I grab his hand to see what it is, I get it all over my hand. I take him to his room to change his diaper and it is crawling up his back...FANTABULOUS!!

Just for safe measure, I'm keeping my distance from my father! However, I might take that ice cream NOW!!

Nice LOOT!!

Ahhhh....I did so good!!



Today was the 40 family yard sale over by Jen and Julie's houses. What a madhouse!! It looked like a street carnival was going on. There was cotton candy, crepes, face painting. I couldn't believe it! Worse, I couldn't believe I had never been! We did great. I got lots of girl clothes. The biggest size they had was 2T, so I cleaned them out, well, almost. I picked up a lot of 2T and smaller clothes. Some of which I have to store (or give to Julie and Jen) until I have another girl. I even found this great toddler bed, complete with sheet and a nemo bedspread for $13! NICE! Oh yeah, and I became very ambitious this morning. I bought a toddler seat for my (ok Walter's) bike so I can take all 3 kiddos on a bike ride....someday! Definitely a beautiful, successful day!

abocado and swimsuits

Tonight, OK it really took place tomorrow night, but I forgot to blog yesterday!! Anyway, Winni had a lot of fun playing outside today. However, I find it very unfair that kids swimsuits are getting so so so cute these days. I mean, some suits out there are just ridiculous, but little kids still look so stinkin cute in them. I'm very jealous of Winni's new suit. I wish I had one! Maybe I just wish my tummy was as flat as hers, but so I go!! However, the main reason for this post is for Walter. This video is of Winni choosing to eat half of an avocado, or abocado as she says it, instead of a chimichanga. She basically licked it clean! Poor Trae felt robbed!



She defnintely has increased her healthy fat intake, if only it showed up on her tummy the way my fat intake shows on mine. I'm a jealous mother, I know! I still think she is the cutest little bucket in the world!

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda...

OK, remember this day??? 2 Toddlers + 2 Hours in a car = Fat Ornery Momma Well, today I had to go back to that dreadful place (Hill Air Force Base) to clear up our insurance. While I was looking for the Tricare office I found a family waiting room! It was stocked with blocks and cushion thingys and toys and other fun things! Oh how that would have been a much better option....if only I'd known!! Oh well, now I know!

Oh yeah, and isn't Grady just the cutest in his handsome hat!!

Woo Hoo!!

Yeah! What a beautiful day!! It feels like it's been FOREVER since I got a pedicure! Finally I was able to cash in a gift certificate I received back in February! Every time I have a baby my friend, Brooke, gives me a gift certificate to get a pedicure. This time I was so sad I wouldn't get to use it for a while, due to my lovely broken foot! Well, I've been out of my boot for a month now and I'm finally OK with other people touching my feet. Can I tell you how nice it feels?!?! It's like, you know those weeks when you don't get a shower! And, finally on Sunday morning you shower before church, or whenever you get to it! You just feel fresh and new! OK, maybe I'm the only one who chooses sleep over showering....sometimes. I mean, I always shower, everyday. I have no clue what you are talking about! Who hijacked my blog?! I so shower as needed! And take note, I got out of Lovely Nails without a flower on my big toe! PROGRESS!!

See you soon, BABE!

Well, Walter left us this morning! He will be gone til *$&. $&, 2008! I can't believe it! He went to &%*#($), which is south of here. The kids have already started asking about him. Whenever we pull into the driveway and they see his car they say "daddy's home!" They will be so excited in #%&!*# when he finally gets to come home! So, to pass the time we are planning out our days. So far we have Adventure Days on the west side, Adventure Days on the east side, memberships to the Living Planet Aquarium and the Discovery Gateway. We are also fitting swimming lessons in there somewhere. What I'm asking is...have I missed any other fun things to plan to do with 3 small children? I might appear crazy, but really I'm trying to wear my kids out so we can get some good sleep, too!



Walter took a lot of things with him to (#*@&$&. A lot of which will remain there, including this nice double chin! lova ya babe!!

We're Bringing Sexy Back.....WHAT?!?

Well, with Walter leaving soon, we decided to take our "before" pictures! Since, of course, we will both be so dang sexy we won't recognize each other! So, tonight we took pictures...

Walter looks like this...



But, after his summer diet of Easy Mac and Beef Jerky, will look like this...





And, for myself, I look like this (apparently Walter is only concerned with my upper body!)...



And after my summer of mystery green drinks and late night Kneaders Cheesecake, will look like this...







Ahhhh....it's nice to have goals!!
