Day 33...Cleaning Day

It's Sunday, cleaning day.  Growing up my Dad always went crazy on Sunday's trying to get us to clean-up.  Now that is what I've become.

The kids had to take a break from all the cleaning that that had done.  (I'm joking, they didn't do any!)  Bodie joined Rhys.  Geez those boys are cute.

Then McCall had to get in on the fun!

Well, I better get back to cleaning!

Day 32...Family Fun

We went to the "Build and Grow" clinic this morning a Lowe's.  The kids did such a good job and built really cute picture frames.  We did have a minor injury, but like a true builder...Bodie worked through the pain!

I think Rob was embarrassed when I pulled out the camera at Lowe's.  He said, "God are you Asian?"

So Rob was in charge of the camera for the rest of the day.  I thought he would be used to being trailed by the paparazzi (aka ME) by now.  Guess not!

We had a picnic at Municipal Park, played a little at the playground and then went to the MK Nature park...or the "fish park" as the kids say.

We had lots of fun.  We found beautiful flowers.

They had just put a couple HUGE sturgeon in the big pond, so the kids were impressed by that.  Rhys even made his way out of the stroller to enjoy the beautiful day!

We had a HOOT!

Ha, ha, ha!

Day 31...A busy day

I tried to get Bodie to get dressed this morning for over an hour.  The only progress we made was a helmet.  He is special!

He finally let me dress him and then was up to his usual antics.  Apparently I forgot to flip both locks on the door to the garage, because I found him going out of the car "Dukes of Hazard style.  ("Dukes it Mom"...Bri don't you wish he would have said that?)

Meanwhile, Rhys and Montana were bonding.  I kept moving Rhys back, but he would just continue to roll towards her.  He got plenty of licks love from her.

I got around to making a sign I have been wanting to.  I love me a good reality show, and "Tori and Dean. Home Sweet Hollywood", is one that I set the DVR to record.  They have the cutest sign in their yard and I have been wanting to make one for us for a long time.  So today I did.  Rob is worried that that means I want another baby.  Not yet, babe!

To celebrate Rob's first week at his new job, I made some yummy donut muffins for dessert.  OH MY GOD they are so good.  I think I scored some points, he loved them!  We are so proud of him for getting this new job...and nothing says "We love you", like dessert, right?

So after the donut muffins and a great dinner, we decided we needed a walk.  McCall wanted to push the stroller.

Apparently, she's a crazy driver because Rhys puked.

Rob and Rob Jr. walked together as I trailed behind with the camera.

The kids decided that they wanted ice cream instead of going to the playground, so we made a detour to Chevron.  (They hadn't had any of the donut muffins.  No, I wasn't trying to put them into a sugar coma.) Yummy

We had to walk home fast because the sky started to get really dark.  But at least we saw a rainbow!

Day 30... Great Papa and Great Grandma Rene

We had a nice visit with Papa and Grandma Rene today.  The kids were so excited to go and couldn't wait to play with the toys.  Those toys have been through a lot of kids. 

However, the toys storage tub is pretty fun too!

I remember wearing that cowboy hat many times as a kid.  McCall loves to pose, doesn't she?

Rhys was hungry.  Thanks Grandma for feeding him, or trying to.  He likes to do it himself!

The kids had a great time...we need to get out to see them more.  I just need an extra 10 hours in a day!

Day 29...Mommy's always right

I told Bodie that he was tired and need to take a nap.  I tried for an hour and a half and got nothing.  "Nope, I'm fine", he says.  One hour later...

he crashes in the chair.  Running around playing one minute, next minute found a binky he is sound asleep. 

I wish I could take a nap.

Day 28...The sun is still out!

The sun is still shining today, so we are going to take advantage of it.  I quickly finished up some noodles for the freezer.

I cook the pasta and then freeze it in a muffin tin.  Then I store in the freezer and just pull out individual servings when the kids want noodles.  We are going through a lot more noodles now that Rhyser is eating them.  Oh boy, I bet our grocery bill is going to be HUGE when those boys are in high school.  Forget a college saving account, maybe I need to open a grocery savings!  While I was cooking, Rhys was watching in the exersaucer.  I must have bored him.  Have you ever fallen asleep standing up?  Rhys has...

So while Rhys was enjoying his nap ( I took him out and put him in his crib!) Bodie, McCall and I mowed the backyard.  Whew...that was not fun.  We left the dog yard for Daddy, won't he be excited?  Ginger kept barking at the lawnmower, so I asked "the dumb-ass" to get out of the way.  Big mistake.  This led Bodie to believe McCall has been a dumb-ass the rest of the day.  Sorry McCall! 

Anyway, Bodie rigged the swing somehow so he got to dangle.

He was having a grand old time, but then McCall came and started to twist him around.  This did not make him happy.  In fact it made him "busy" (that's what Miss says when she is dizzy).

Lots of fun today, and I really hope Larry Gebbert is wrong again.  I don't want it to rain tomorrow.

Day 27...It's SUNNY!

 I can't believe it.  This post is gonna be short because I can't waste time when we have such a short window of nice weather.  I got a bunch of things to do.  Mow the jungle, plant some flower pots, prune, play and more!  Hurry up kids, eat your breakfast fast and let's tame that bed-head cause daylight is burning!

McCall helped plant some of our pots on the patio.  She has her own with zinnias that Papa and Nanny gave her for her birthday.  She got them all planted and watered and she's so proud.

Please Mom no more pictures!!
