My Michael!

Michael, Pictures
OK, this is a lot of blogs in a row, but I didn't write any yesterday, so it evens out right? Hahaha! I hope! There's this clip from a cartoon called "Family Guy" floating around the internet that reminds me so much of Michael.... I think most Mom's can relate. You can check it out on the video page under "Michael Talking." His Valentines card last year. Last week I received an email from Michael's teacher telling me that he was doing better and she was seeing some improvement in his behavior! Yay! I'm not going to hold my breath, I do want him to improve, but I just don't know what I can expect especially since I don't know what factors could have influenced his improvement, and just hope…

Spring is in the air!!!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Kevin and I, Michael
It's March and I'm so ready for spring. I got Michael and Aiden flip flops, and Aiden and Joey Sunglasses, (2/$5 at The Children's Place) it's fun to get some fun summer stuff! I'm just so ready for it to be spring! This morning we went to Sophia's son's first birthday party and it was so fun to see them, they had the cutest ducky theme. He had a bath tub cake, and a lot of fun toys for the kids. Afterwards was Kevin's last modeling class of the set he's been taking at Games Workshop in Rice Village, and since the rodeo is making traffic near home a nightmare, I decided to take the boys and stick around Rice Village, which is a kinda ritzy shopping center spanning roughly…

Happy Leap Year! and Kiddo Tag!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Dreams, Games, Holidays, Kevin and I, Michael
This is my 6th leap year, it's so fun! I feel the need to do something special. and it's a Friday too!!! Whoo hoo! This morning I got up and for once I wasn't dragging, don't know why, maybe we slept better lastnight, or I just had a surprisingly happy morning. Usually mornings consist of me wishing it wouldn't come yet, and then dreading the morning routine (taking Michael and Kevin to school and work, and then getting the boys back in if I don't run errands on the way home). I just have a really rough time with mornings... I have very vivid dreams. Very. Lastnight I dreamed that we were buying a house. Not just any house. This house had about 8 bedrooms, almost all of which had…

Warning: KFC’s Double Chocolate Chip Cake

Aiden, Baby Joey, Kevin and I, Michael
This thing is yummy! (link) Today we went to KFC for a late lunch. We'd missed lunch before we got Michael and we needed to go get Kevin about 45 minutes after getting Michael so we had about a half hour to kill. In the drive through Michael noticed the cake on the board, and asked for one, I wanted some too so I decided to get two thinking that Kevin and I could share one and Aiden and Mike could share the other. At almost $2 a pop I thought hey, that's a bit steep, but it's fun to get a fun treat occasionally, about the same as a slice of cheesecake right? Well, I pulled up handed the girl my card, she ran it, and then she handed…

Happy birthday Grandpa Moms! 48 wahoo!

Aiden, Michael
It's my Dad's birthday today!!! Yahoo, he was born on leap year so if he'd been born just 5 days later he'd have his 12th birthday on Friday. BTW, my kids differentiate between the sets of grandparents by which parent they are parents to. So my Parents are Grandpa and Grandma Moms, and Kevin's Parents are Grandma and Grandpa Dads. Well if you ask Aiden, they're all Grandpa's, hahaha, he hasn't quite got down the Ma's in Grandma.

Dance, sickness and Joey’s fussy.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Kevin and I, Michael
I'm feeling a bit better, but it's gone from burning sinuses (think pool water up your nose as a kid, always my sign I'm getting sick), down to my throat, it never moves that fast so I'm hoping that means it'll be history by tomorrow night. We had a rough night with Joey lastnight. He decided not only to be awake, but fussy and unhappy from around 1:30 to almost 4:oo AM. He then crashed until the big boys got up, and Daddy took him out to the living room, put him in his swing and he slept happily for a while. Tonight again he's been less than happy about anyhting but being held a certain way and nursing a lot, he's spitting up a lot so I imagine that…

Please be an Angel

Michael
This morning as we took Michael to school I reminded him, as usual, to be on his best behavior. I said "Can you please be an Angel?" He paused and said, "Um, No!" I was shocked thinking he was planning on being less than stellar. I bit my tongue and asked him "Why not?" He sighed as if I should know already and said "Because I don't have wings!" Kevin and I laughed, and explained it was a figure of speech and we really just wanted him to be like an angel... I'm sure I should have explained that real angels don't have wings, but by then he was gone on his way, smiling his sweet innocent smile that could fool you that he'd never do anything mischievous.

Paint, Daddy baby wears, and more rose pics.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Baby Wearing, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
Lastnight while I arranged my flowers, Kevin painted some figures and the boys played at the table doing homework and coloring. Joey got fussy so Kevin went to get him. Kevin had him balanced on his lap in a uncomfortable looking way, so I went and got the Snugli for them to use. It was the first time in this carrier for Joey and I think he really liked it. Well other than this photo, hahaha. Maybe he was worried Daddy was going to paint him. And here's the photo's of my flowers arranged. The vase that the red roses are in is one I already had from the last time Kevin got me flowers, and the big one Kevin got me yesterday. That arrangement is almost as big as…

Brother Quotes

Aiden, Allergies, Baby Joey, Michael
First off, I finally updated my "about us" section (top right) so you can go there to get a bit of history on us. So I guess that makes 7 entries during this three day weekend, LOL! I promise I won't keep going at this rate, nobody would ever keep up. If only I'd enjoyed writing like this in school, oh well, at least it'll do me some good when I'm in college in a few years. Oh, and a bit of good news on the allergy front, Joey's poop is almost the right color again!!!! Hahaha, at least I don't take and share pics guys... So for now I'm just keeping out nuts and chocolate, and I've just had a little milk products, mostly just a dollop of cottage…

Breakfast with my Buddy

Holidays, Michael
This morning I had breakfast with Michael at school. It was pretty fun. Kevin has the day off for Presidents Day, and so he took the younger boys while I took Michael in to pay his lunch money and to have breakfast with him. It was really nice to spend some time alone with my oldest. We had milk, juice and sausage on a biscuit.
