Now THIS is more like it!!












The boys started the morning off having a "Play Day." A couple of years ago, Eli named this little game "play day." What you do is gather every single blanket, pillow, and stuffed animal in the house, pile everything into a mountainous heap and start running and jumping. They had a ball! Whoohoo--they were being creative without my help!

The top two pics are of my brand new spankin' (free) dishwasher named Eli. Eli is loving rinsing all the dishes off for me. Love it, love it, love it.

Sam is having a great day of potty training...no accidents yet for the day! Whoo-hoo! Maybe he will be able to go to kindergarten, after all.

I guess I still "got it"...I took the boys for a walk around the neighborhood and as I was bending over to fix Sam's shoe, I started getting some "Whoo-Hoo's" from some roofers nearby. Glad to know I can at least make roofers still whistle at me!

This is random, but last night we went to Target for a free and fun family outing. I needed to get my friend a birthday card (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!) and so we spent some time laughing at the cards. I suddenly panicked, realizing that Cade could indeed read and WAS reading whatever his hands picked up. Some cards out there are really not that nice, if you know what I mean. We laughed at a couple more, and then proceeded to take our kids out of the porn/alcohol, I mean greeting card aisle. It may get harder and harder to keep these kiddos "innocent and protected" as they get older and older.

You know to keep your kids away from adult book stores, R-rated movies, prime-time TV, etc. It's sad when you have to watch it around the greeting cards!

The last couple of times I've shopped for a card, I've been pretty disgusted. I like funny cards as opposed to sappy ones, but it's getting hard to find a funny one that isn't tasteless and inappropriate.

ahh, finally another perk of being clueless of when to buy cards for people. saving my kids from the worldliness of it :).

that is awesome that eli is loving the dishes.
