My Blogroll

Blog Changes, Venting
OK everyone, I've been debating on weather to post links to other's whom I read in case they may have a problem with it, I finally decided that in order to be conductive to this community flow that is the blogging world, that I should just go ahead and ask. If you don't mind me linking you on my blog roll let me know and I'll add you. If nobody responds I just won't have a blogroll... I'd also love suggestions for favorite websites to add to my measly group. The reason I'm hesitant about having one is because I'm not comfortable with certain people finding my blog. Mostly because I'm very open with a friendly group out there on the www, and I wouldn't want some of them finding…

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…

Thanks Susannah!   Thanks everyone, the gifts will be well appreciated and loved!

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…

Diaper Changes

Aiden, Allergies, Baby Joey
Well Joey is doing OK. The coloring of his poop is finally evening out, and just every few is slightly green anymore. I started eating Chocolate again and I'm now pretty positive that's not a part of the problem, but I have cut out all nuts and that is definitely helping. Just a few more days and it'll be completely out of our systems and we'll see if there's something else we need to cut out. He moved up a diaper size in the last couple days, he's now in size 1-2 in Huggies. He's gone through two cases of size one, plus the two small hospital packs and a left over medium bag that I got when Aiden was a baby that he never started. The 1-2 size is…

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.
