Late on Father's Day...

A few days late...

BTW, Dad, I have a card, it's just still sitting here... But I love you tons and couldn't have asked for a better dad!

But here is a cute picture from Father's Day morning...



The boys thought that learning how to make Daddy coffee was awesome. They also loved bringing him breakfast (doughnuts and bagels) in bed. They then climbed in bed with him to eat their doughnuts and informed me that... Sunday was actually, Father's and Sons, mom is a servant day.

Yeah, I let them believe that for about 30 seconds before I burst their bubbles.

some Max stories...

1) Don't let young children watch the movie, Zathura!!! This is a Jumanji type movie, but in one part, the older boy "gets" a robot. He then commands the robot, "Get me a juicebox, beeyotch!" Well out of nowhere at Timmy's baseball practice yesterday, this is what came out of Max's mouth. The boys didn't know what it meant, but when I told them, they were understood why I was upset!

2) Max went into the bathroom the other day while Rich was in the shower. When Rich got out, Max was still there and with a very incredulous look on his face asked Rich, "YOU have a penis????" To which Rich answered, "yes, all boys have a penis." Max then says, "Mommy has... ... ... not a penis"

Yes, right now he is all about his male anatomy!

Kindergarten recognition

So, here is a quick montage from recognition. Sammy was absolutely adorable. He reads so well that he was chosen as one of the readers. I video'd it, but I am having trouble getting it uploaded.

I'm going to skip the weekend update since it was basically hot, we went to the kids baseball games, and ran in the sprinkler :)

But here are the pics!

sorry for lacking...

Coming soon will be an update on the weekend and Sammy's kindergarten graduation. (yes I have tears in my eyes just typing that... I can't believe how quickly they are growing up!)

Daddy drove where?

This morning in the car Max was asking me to play catch. I told him that I couldn't play while driving, it wasn't safe. He then began to tell me how the boys were playing baseball in the car once and Daddy drove up on the wall.

I was in shock for a minute, thinking Rich never told me about a time where the boys distracted him to the point that he drove off the road towards a wall... I was thinking maybe a curb... but why didn't he tell me about this.

Well, Max kept saying that Daddy drove up on the wall... until I realized that what he was actually trying to say was that the boys were playing ball and "it drove Daddy up a wall"! I started laughing and then later something kept banging in the car and I said that it was driving me crazy... Max asked if I was driving on the wall.

Too cute!

True conversations...

... heard in my house in the past 24 hours...

Scene: Last night, Sam lying on the floor with all black on... me painting bones on him to create an x-ray costume

Sam says: "Mom I learned 2 new swear words today! Ryan taught me one... a-s-s."

Me: "Sam, I don't want to hear it."

Sam: "Mom, that's ass!! Timmy taught me the other one!"

Timmy: "Yeah, if you take shut and change the u to an i..."

Sammy: "Mom, that's shit!"

Mom: "I don't want to hear those words from you again!"

Now, all the while he is telling me this, he has this big grin on, like he's been let into some secret club!

Next Scene: This morning as Max is sitting on the potty...

Mom: "Max, what happened to your toes?"

Max: "I wanted them to be pretty like Cady's!"

Mom: "When did you do this?"

Max: "In my bed!"

Apparently, this is what he id doing when he won't go to sleep at night!

Weekend Recap...

This was a fairly quiet weekend despite a couple of parties :)

Saturday, me and the boys got up early to head to Timmy's 8 am baseball game. It was a good game until the thunder and rain rolled in. Rich also left to go do a 6 hour mountain bike ride.

After the game we hit target and then came home to play before shopping, hanging out with my parents and then going to the 2 parties that we had Saturday night. The first party was a graduation party for my cousin, Julie. And the second was a get together with a bunch of people that I work with. These get-togethers are always a TON of fun. However, we didn't even put the boys in the car until about 10:15. Where Tim and Sam quickly fell asleep, while Max stayed up and talked to me until we got home!!!

Today, I helped the boys clean their rooms... I mean REALLY clean their rooms... I made Tim crawl under his bed to get everything out! I also bought Tim and Sam new comforters and sheets so that they were using Nemo and Bob the Builder (They're too old for that!!) So we washed those and put them on the bed.

After lunch, the boys went to Sammy's game while I got my nails done. I had actually hoped that they would move fast enough for me to get to the game, but I got someone who must have been new to doing nails because she took forever! I was sad :(

Then we went grocery shopping, made dinner and went to the local ice cream shop after dinner. Now we are ready for another week of school!! Only 2 more left.
