Up In The Air So Blue

I was browsing through photos and happened upon this one.  This was when we only had 3 children.  We should have had 4 on this day, but T-bug had other plans.  Like coming 4 days later.  Oh well.  You can't plan moments of pure awesomeness like this one.

I wish I enjoyed being on a swing this much.

Smearing, Among Other Things

Today is my Happy Anniversary.  Supremo and I have been married for 11 years now.  I must say that I think I like him more now than I did yesterday, and the day before that.

We sort of had a bummer of a Halloween this year.  

1st off I was sick.  

2nd, I was was sick of candy.  

3rd, we got tons of candy from our Halloween party from church.  

4th, The Noodle threw up when we got home from the church party.  

5th,  my poor boys got to hand out candy instead of going Trick-Or-Treating.  We only had two doorbell rings the whole night.  The boys loved it! 

6th, I'm still sick of candy.

Here is our fairy princess!

 Getting ready to go to the halloween party.  The Chief went as a Ninja.  We wrapped a black scarf around his nose and mouth.  He looked legit!  T-Bug was just tired.

 The Noodle found a skeleton costume that he had to have!

 This year Supremo actually got a little dressed up.  He looked pretty scary if I do say so myself.  I don't know if I can do that again next year.

Me, I went as a purple Diva to the party.  No photos because I end up taking the pictures all the time. But just imagine purple and black tights, purple and black cape, purple wig.  Fabulous!

Here are my little ones in the tub.  They were being silly.

 Purdy Girl.

 Mr. Magoo with a nice bruise on his forehead.

 Grandpa and Grandma are here for a visit.  The Diva can't get enough of Grandpa.  They had too much fun.

 She was waiting for him to go to be, and just couldn't quite make it to the bedroom.  The floor was too comfy.

Our annual Pumpkin smear came a day late.  I still felt terrible the day before.  Better late than never.

Dance Like No One Is Watching

I got to do something this weekend!  It was awesome!  I became a licensed Zumba instructor!  Woot!

I have been going to a Zumba class at the Y and I really like it, but I don't like the time.  It is in the evening.  Since that seems to be the only time Supremo is home I have a hard time justifying going.  Solution, maybe I could do my own class at a time that works for me.

I went down with a lady from church and would you believe it, when we got there,  I was sick.  Nausea.  Bad nausea.  I went to bed at 8 hoping that I could sleep it off.  No such luck.  Thankfully I didn't heave my guts.  The day of the training I felt nasty up until the end.  It was fun, but would have been much better if I didn't keep stepping out to go to the bathroom.  Still no throwing up.  Phew!

Now I just get to practice some dances so I can begin my own class.  I can't wait!

'cause Ya Had A Bad Day

Yesterday was my bad day.  It started at 2 am when I whacked my elbow on the door.  Typical Green Momster move.  I hit it so hard that it hurt all night and the rest of the day.  I should have known to stay in bed after that.
Later that morning I was taking a piece of my little shark vacuum down my 3 little wood stairs when I lost my balance and slipped.  I am sure it looked like this at about the 21 second mark. Feel free to continue to watch the clip or just stop after that one scene.

 

 I sat and cried at the bottom of the stairs.  T-bug climbed down to the last step and just laughed at me.
I am so sore today and have some lovely purple bruises.  I do not recommend doing this on a regular basis.  Not fun.

A Whole Lot Of...

I has been a busy month.  Harvest.  Which should finish today. (Fingers crossed!) School.  Sickness.  Holy smokes.  And I have tried to cut back on my computer time.  I went 3 whole days without logging on!  Woot!  A record that hasn't happened in a long time.

We take donuts out the the boys during harvest.  This time we had lots of friends come with us to ride tractors and just play in the dirt.  It was great.  The Diva with her best friend.  These two are hysterical in nursery class at church.  They always have to sit next to each other.  So fun!

 A game of tag.

 Too much room to run!

On to other things.  The chief is so creative.  He just grabbed this box and started cutting it out.  This is his transformer outfit.  I love it.

 The noodle has really taken to cooking. (Especially if it is a dessert!)  He is always asking to help me.  Here he is making no bake cookies.  They were delicious!

12 Meses

What a whirlwind this month has been.  Not only are the photos of T-bugs first birthday on my camera that still isn't cooperating, but we are back in full swing with school.  The Diva took this photo with the ipod and I thought it was so cute!

 Stats for this month - I don't remember, but he is in roughly the 35% for height and weight, and 75% head circumference.

 Here he is sporting a new shirt and the stuffed elephant he got for his birthday.  He loves the elephant that we have named Orson.  We are trying to get rid of the pacifier so Orson is a sentsy buddy with the smell of Red Candy Apple.  I am hoping that T-bug will associate the smell with comfort and go to bed with just the animal and not the B. He is starting to take Orson everywhere.

This little boy loves to party!  Dance party!  So cute to watch him groove.  One thing I have noticed recently.  He doesn't jump.  I know what you are thinking.  'Not all one year olds jump,' but mine usually do.  Not even in his crib.  He just stands and yells 'Ma' when he wants me.  He just added 'No' to his arsenal of words.  Also 'Hi' and 'Yes.'  He is so darn cute.  I can't even stand it most days.  He loves his dad, but he loves his mom more.  He is my one and only cuddler.(I don't think that is a word, but oh well.)  I am adjusting to that and finding that I quite like it.  He loves to empty out the kids drawer in the kitchen.  It has all the cups, plates, etc that are unbreakable.  He loves to be held, just so he can see what is going on.  Lot of times he will push my legs until I pick him up.  He has me figured out.  What a fun year it has been with this little guy!

Did You Ever?

Back when I was a little girl we had a vacuum.  It sort of looked like a brown version of R2D2.  My sister and I named it Vaydee. (Or maybe I named it that.  I have been known to do that sort of thing.)  Anyway, it was so cool.  You would fill the bottom with water and when you were done, you would dump the dirty water in the toilet.  Awesome!!!

One of my favorite memories of old Vaydee is when we would to our hair with it.  Suck it in and pull it out.  It gave us some amazing hair.  So the other day I was in stitches when The Diva started doing it.

Ahhh!  Good times, good memories!
