WWE Neighbor Smackdown

So I'm usually a nice person, even if someone else isn't so nice but the minute someone drags my family(esp the kids) into it...the b#*ch is going down!!

Tonight, like most nights we took Angel(our dog) for a walk.  We did have a few extra peeps joining in the walk tonight since we have some out of town guests visiting(another story for another day).  I was the first to get back to the front door and as I was walking up the little(7 & 8yr old) girls next door said hi, then proceeded to tell me that Bonnie(their dads live in girlfriend) said our kids are bad(not totally sure on this word since the other girl started telling her sister to be quiet) but needless to say if it wasn't something bad about our kids then the one wouldn't have tried to stop the other from talking.  First, why in the world would you tell your kids that, they repeat everything! Second, look in the mirror first before saying anything about my family and if after looking in the mirror you still have something to say then say it to my face.  Ugh!!

This is not the first time we've had issues with Bonnie.  The part I really don't understand is how immature Bonnie has been acting the last few weeks yet complains about her immature boyfriend constantly.  Rather than b#*ching about our kids maybe she should be more concerned about what's going on in her own household first cause I know first hand it's worse there than here!!

Sorry for venting but my options were limited...either talking about it for a little bit on here or punching her in the face!!  I figured this was the cheaper of the two plus I really didn't want to go to jail tonight, cause you know of the whole breastfeeding thing!!  My son would starve! :)

4th of July and...a ring??

So in the past this would have been recovery day but now having a breastfeeding baby and 2 other kids that like to get up early we kept the Independence Day celebrating to a minimum.  To me that means good food, good family/friends, and a good fireworks show!  We went to my dads to celebrate, they have an awesome view on their back deck that you can see fireworks going off in so many directions. 

But first let me back up and tell you about the day leading up to the awesome night...Paul's been on nights so he got home around 8am and crashed.  Lilly had woken me up around 630am so by 10 she was getting crabby.  Rylan woke up around 8am and was fine until lunch time.  It took him 2hrs to eat lunch...it was like pulling teeth to get him to eat!!  I was trying to keep the kids as quiet as possible so that they wouldn't wake Paul up...well he never woke up but they were not quiet!!  They fought, they wouldn't eat, they wouldn't listen...I wanted to pull my hair out.  On top of that, the baby is teething so he is also crabby right now.  I couldn't wait for 4pm to get there so Paul would be awake to help.  Finally around 3pm the kids shaped up a little which gave me a chance to breathe before getting them all ready to go to my dads. 

Now the other day we made our own shirts to wear for the 4th of July, and they were excited to make them but when it came time to actually wear them Lilly didn't want too.  She just wanted to put hers in the trash.  We finally came to an understanding(she got to bring an extra outfit to change into, which she never did) and everyone finally got dressed.  I can't believe I've turned into one of those moms that makes her family wear matching shirts for a holiday...but I think we all look pretty cute together

I also brought the dessert this year...and being a pinoholic I looked and looked until I found something yummy yet easy to make since my day wasn't going that great.  I made brownies in my mini muffin pan, and used raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and big marsh mellows to make dessert kabobs.  They were delicious!!!

 

So even though my day started out a little shaky it end great. 

 

Now on to the day after...started out normal, kids up around 8.  Cartoons turned on, cereal for breakfast, took the dog for a walk...then Paul went out to clean the garage.  The kids decided to play outside so that gave me a chance to pick up the house a little(and blog).  After an hour or so outside Paul walks in and says he needs my help with something.  I'm on the ground cleaning up play-doh not really paying close attention to him.  He finally says it will only take a minute and that he really only needs my finger.  I lift my right hand and he laughs and says no your other hand.  He has a zip tie in his hand and puts it on my ring finger...I suppose that's a step in the right direction.  Maybe a promise for an engagement ring, only he knows lol.  I did glam it up a bit after he went back outside with some glitter polish.  Diamond or no diamond I know he loves me and that's what really counts!! 

So that is the start to my weekend, wonder if anything else interesting(wink, wink) will happen.  I hope everyone had a great Independence day and have a great weekend...I know I will!!

Summer time...swimming and painting

So now that summer has been going strong for a month now...the kids started their swim lessons this week.  Now, I did not go to any of their lessons last year but from I've been told they did not enjoy them at all.  They barely participated and therefore had to repeat this year( but they were 3 and 4 last year).  Not the case this year...I'm pretty sure they will pass with flying colors...

They still take a little warming up to get their faces in the water if they are asked to blow bubbles but don't seem to mind getting their faces wet if they are jumping in.  Oh how the minds of a 4 and 5(almost) work. 

Paul and I sure enjoyed watching them, and we love that they are loving it.  We both love the water so we want them too also.  I'm not so sure about Kaden though, I'm thinking he got a little bored waiting for his brother and sister to be done, or he was jealous that he couldn't go in.

On another note, I have a few crafts projects that I want to do with the kiddos this summer(Thank You Pinterest) so last night we started one for the 4th of July.  Easy Peasy...Fabric paint and shirts is all we needed.  We made flags on the shirts using our handprint for the blue and our fingers for the red strips.

Now...I made one for Kaden too using his hand.  I don't have any pics of that cause Paul was at work.  Note to self, make sure both parents(or at least another adult) is present to help.  He wouldn't open his hand(he is only 4 months) so I tried to pry his little fingers open for him.  We ended up getting paint over both my hands, his hands, his chest, his legs, my arm and my shirt(Sorry Paul I need to go shopping now :) love you!) so straight to the bathtub he went.  You can't really tell its his hand but that's the fun of it...its a one of a kind Kaden original.  I did however make the strips for him cause I was not about to get paint all over him again.  Tonight Paul and I made ours so tomorrow we will be wearing them(And yes I'm going to be one of those crazy moms that wants her family to match for the holiday) to my dads for the 4th of July celebration. 

Now let the summer fun continue...
