Devil to Angel

Just when I think my boys are the devil, they turn around and surprise me by being perfect angels. Yesterday was the day from hell. We had crying and whining ALL DAY LONG. Got told I was hated and I was stupid. Privileges taken away. And time out. Nothing seemed to work. The only quite I got was from a 2 hour nap by both of them Once Daddy got home, I escaped to Target for a break.

Flash to today. Had to take Sam back to the Dr. to check him out. He is fine. Then I took the kids to Central Market for some lunch, playtime, and shopping. They were great! Granted I did threaten them within an inch of their lives, but whatever, it worked. Now as Matthew plays quietly with his train and Sam is asleep, it seems order is restored to the Wagner household. Shhhhhh, I shouldn't say that too loud. Now the only thing that would make my day perfect is for hubby to NOT have to work late as previously expected and for me to make it to Preshool Mom's Night Out.

I did get on layout done yesterday during naptime. It was a monochromatic for a chat at Two Peas in a Bucket - I didn't win, but I thought it was pretty good!!!

Kit: DigiArtchick, Rock Star

Loooong day

Well, I'm happy to say it is 9:30pm and I am about to go to sleep. Sam has not been feeling well for almost a week now - fever, diarrhea, diaper rash, and the a huge fall in the tub last night. We were getting ready to get into the tub and he just t-boned the edge with his stomach. He immediately complained of pain and stopped soon after. Well, he then began complaining about every 3 hours, EVERY 3 HOURS. And when I say complaining, I mean crying uncontrollably. At about 2 am, we were almost ready to take him to the emergency room. But opted not to since he was calming down. After waking up from my night time naps, I made the biggest mistake. I tried to look in the internet to figure out what was going on. BIG MISTAKE. I totally freaked out at what I found - everything from constipation to intestinal blockage. Needless to say I took him to the Dr. - everything is fine - he has a viral infection!!! Where as I'm glad it was nothing, I just hate it when the Dr. tells us that. "OK, give me your co-pay and take your son home and let him suffer for 7-10 days!!!!" As for his stomach, it could be gas from the viral infection or pain from his fall, which ever it is, he is ok from his fall.

Well, I can't even believe that I got two layouts done today but I didn't fell like doing too much but sitting around. The kit used is from Atomic Cupcake, Fries with That.

This kit is from Two Peas in a Bucket, annelangpap.

Scrapin' the night away

I've been at the monthly Steiner scrap night and these are the fruit of my labor....

Lazy Summer Days

We actually had a great day yesterday, or I should say I did. We did NOTHING. Well, the boys did nothing, I washed 4 loads of laundry, ironed, cleaned 3 bathrooms, got to exercise without interrupting, and stained a mirror I've been wanted to stain forever. The mirror was Kurt's grandmother's as well as the table I have below it. The mirror was a lighter color, I want to always keep these pieces together, so they HAD to match. What 'cha think?

Then I was able to fill out some paperwork for activities and school for the boys. I even listed several pairs of shoes the boys have outgrown on Craig's list. Have I told you Kurt and I are obsessed with Craig's list.

Side note: You have heard that we are all separated by anyone by six degrees? I was talking to a girlfriend and she has a friend that actually knows Craig!! Cool! And that is only 4 degrees.

Anyway, now I bet you are wondering how I did it all? My mom and dad's guess is that the boys were locked in a closet! Nope. Sam actually wasn't feeling very well, he had a slight fever, 100.8 and just laid around all day and Matthew would be happy watching TV and playing all day. Then Sam went down for a 4, yes FOUR, hour nap. During that 4 hours, Matthew fell asleep for 1 1/2 hours - I was in heaven. Amazing what I get so giddy about!!! Well there you go. That was our day!!

It's been too long

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged, but wee have had a crazy 3 weeks.

First we went to Sea World with Nannie & Paw (my parents), Vicki, Jerry, Darian, Jordan, and Nicki. Kurt and Marty had to stay at home to work :(



From San Antonio, we went to Jones Creek for 2 weeks, playing and having fun with the cousins and grandparents. We swam, played at McDonald's, a playscape at the Mall, & a soccer arena. We also got to celebrate Paw's birthday!

Then we got home - 3 days later we had our roof replaced, from damage from a hail storm. Then the same day our A/C goes out. The hottest week of the year and now A/C. So we packed our bags again and headed for Grandma's. We were there for a week and come to find out the roofers put a hole in one of our A/C lines. Well, we finally get back home and we had to hit the lake!!!!

Matthew's new game of smack the booty!

Sam, trying to copy Matthew.
Muscle Beach....
Exhausted at the end of the day.....Yep, they are asleep!!

And last, but not least, the only scrapbooking I have done in the past 3 weeks was Jordan's birthday card.
