word of the week

B has been saying soon, comes out "foon" all the time lately. I will ask him, do you want to help me with dishes, and he will say "foon". Everything I ask is- Soon. Except, do you want to go outside that is!

The other one, Parker, has figured out how to vibrate his lips and blow air thru. The majority of his waking moments are spent making that noise.

Very cute. Both my little angles are.

normal work schedule

This summer I have been graced with a "normal" work schedule. Basically 5 days a week, 9-5. Probably will keep this schedule till the end of august. I have had it for a week now. It is nice having those extra 2 hours or so a day not at work. Very nice to experience a normal person's 40hr work week. Seasonal jobs blow. Well, not the slack time in the winter. LOL. Honestly tho- I would give up that slack time in the winter to have a consistant 40hr work week year round.

Brady 30 months. parker 7 months

it doesnt get much better then that!

kicked back on the couch, nursing one kid and holding hands with the other. does it get much better then that?

this. sums. it. up.

The hubby and I have been going round and round and round about some things. Last night/this morning pretty much summed it all up. We have come along ways in 6 months. Before this would have resulted in a fight, and the two of us saying things that we would later regret. Instead it resulted in chuckles, headshakes, and an agreement to disagree.

Here is what happened. Chris had a work meeting. I got home at 6:15, he left at 6:30pm. I fed myself and my 2 boys. got them washed up and jammies on. Got parker into bed and he fell alsleep happily on his own by 7:30. I read books with B until I was sure parker was asleep. (7:30) I told him mama was so tired and he said brady tired too. then I started our little routine. teeth, flouride, prayers, night night everybody, tuck, and lay down with him. (yes still have to do that). He was sleeping by 8, and so was I. Tuckered, long day of physical work.

So I thought, this is great! kids happy and rested. no fights for bed time, and peace in the house. I told Chris about this the next morning. He pointed out that the house was a mess and he would have made sure it was clean before bedtime. That totally sums it up. But, I am happy we are where we are and both have agrred to disagree about this topic and stop fighting about what or who is right or wrong!
