Sam's Shoes

A blogger friend of mine spent $150 for 3 pairs of shoes for her little ones. I came close to her accomplishments. Two pairs for Sam = $74.00. (Here is the comment for Kurt) But he needed them - his foot now measures 7 XW, and he was wearing 6 XW!!!!

Look - I added my picture

OMG - 30 minutes later you can now see my picture next to my profile. Man, I gotta get faster. Maybe it did take as long because little Sam DID NOT want to take a nap - cried in his room for about an hour - Finally both rugrats are asleep!!!!

Playscape Fun

Could Matt & Sam love their playscape anymore?

What spinning will get ya!

Ever wonder if a 2 year old spins in a circle, what will happen?


A huge lump on the head. Sam was spinning with a necklace on when I told him he had better stop or he was going to get hurt - well, I guess Mom shouldn't say those things. He stopped and fell right into the cabinets. Thank goodness it didn't break the skin because we would have been in the emergency room. It immediately made a lump almost the exact size of a large egg. He was such a good boy, he let us keep ice on it for about 30 minutes. I was worried about a concussion, but he acted fine - after he stopped screaming bloody murder - and his eyes were not dilated, so for the next week or so, people will just think I beat my kids!!!!

Mall Rats

What a great Mom I am today. Since we had such crappy weather this weekend, a neighbor and I decided it would be a great idea to go to the mall and let the kids go to Inflatable Wonderland, or as Matthew likes to call it - Jumpy World. It's a place that has about 12 jumpers and kids go wild. Lucky for us it was not very busy at all. The kids had a blast & of course, we got a little shopping done. I got the CUTEST pants from my obsession store - The Gap. They are little capris with cute orange, white, and green flowers.

Now for my biggest pet peeve with my younger son, Sam. He has about as much patients as I do (yep, that's next to none). We are standing in line to get into Jumpy World and he totally freaks out. Screaming, wiggling, I can't get him back in the stroller - somehow. First I try to talk him down - drives him more crazy. Finally, we get in and he is off to the races, like nothing ever happened. I'll tell you what, if they sold some beer at Jumpy World, they would make a killing.

Do I have time?

Obviously not. When was the last time I posted? Whatever. It seems like I don't have the time to do the things I want - scrapbook, write blogs, EXERCISE! When I do have free time, I just want to lay around. Free time, what is that, oh yea, I have some now. As I sit around with toys piled around me, lunch dishes in the sink. At least I took a shower!! The main reason I'm on the computer now is because it crashed last week and I am trying to get everything back the way I had it. Hopefully I will be able to post more!!!!
