Enjoying the Summer

Today we got up and got packing.  We managed to get all of the electronics in the Living Room packed up, with the exception of the TV and the cable box.  This means the Wii is boxed up, you would have thought we put their best friend in a box.  They know that it is coming with us though so all will be well.
We went over to swim with Kimy and Morgan. Morgan and John Michael made the plans for us, but it worked.  We were able to enjoy the company and the summer.  We have been so busy that the boys really have not done anything too exciting for the summer and they do not understand.  Thank you guys so much.  When we get moved we will have to swap up where we swim.  We love spending time with you all and definitely do not want an address change to change that.

We headed home and got back to work.  We are so close, but still so far away.  We will get there though.

Got Smurfed!

Today we wanted to make the day all about the boys and we wanted to make it a fun day. While we had work we had to get done, there are no days off when you own your own business, we wanted to make sure that we did something with the boys.

We took them to see the Smurfs. I have been wanting to see it since it came out and they have too. I loved the Smurfs when I was little so seeing them on the big screen was great. The boys loved it. Even Brandon seemed to like it. It was funny and really cute! I am so glad that we finally made the time to go and watch it.

When we got home Brandon cleaned my camera lenses. After several outdoor events they were in need of some TLC. I am always nervous about it so I let Brandon have at it. He did an amazing job. Now I am ready for September and the sessions and events that are coming with it.

It also finally rained today. It was a good slow soaking which we seriously needed. It is supposed to keep it up for a few days which I hope that it does. We have been in a serious drought so a few rainy days will be great for everything and everyone.

The boys enjoyed the rainy day and spending some time on the Wii. I do not let them play very much so on rainy days they know I am more generous with the time they have. They even got creative with a box that Danny's backpack came in.

I worked until almost midnight and when I was getting ready to blog Danny man got sick. He never throws up so the fact that he was and a lot I was nervous. He had no fever and seemed okay after a long shower. Hopefully it was just something he ate and not anything serious. I do not like it at all when my men are sick.

Well, I am off. Lots of work and cleaning to do.

Wii Play

Well, today I took some time with the boys to play the Wii, they always want me to, but it is not my favorite thing, but the more I have thought about it they will not want their mom interfering forever so while they want me to help them I plan to do just that.

Danny and I have decided to do the Wii Fit every morning. While it is not the best for breaking a sweat, it is great for stretching. Plus it gives me some time with him.

John Michael headed to Nana's tonight and Danny wanted t stay with me and Brandon. He said he wanted to watch a movie together without having to tell John Michael to be quiet. I had to laugh and I enjoyed my snuggle time with Danny.

I met Catherine and delivered her wedding photographs, and the book that I made for her. I hope that she like them all. She seemed to. We all actually ended up stuck in Starbucks while the monsoon came.

Well, I am off. I hope that you all have a great night.

Wii Organization

So today I was much better. I actually felt like I could do something and since I was not having to wait on FedEx I decided to get the boys and head out. We have one of those cups that you fill up with change and it counts it. Anyway, it was in the van and was full so we put it on the workbench. Well, while we were getting in the van it fell and landed right on my heel. Seriously some of the worse pain I have ever felt. I still had some things I had to do so we went out, but we came on home. I took some medicine, and I had no idea it would render me unconscious. The boys were so good though and just had a blast on the Wii. I woke up about every 10 minutes but my foot hurt too bad to get up. It was bad, and I felt like crapola mom of the year. Anyway. When I told the boys it was time to put up the Wii Danny organized it. It made my heart swell. He is such a sweet heart!

Well, I am a day behind so I am off to write the most up to date blog!

Baseball, Storms and Scrapbooking!

Definitely a great Saturday! I have to admit I am exhausted especially after the on and off rain throughout the day and then the storms tonight, but it was truly an amazing day.

Both boys had practice today. John Michael at 11 and Danny at 2 so most of the day was spent at the ballpark. It was interesting with the rain coming and going, but they had a good time. Of course we came home and showers were a definite must along with some dry clothes. Danny was not too happy about a shower before dinner, but when we explained to him it was about a shower before the storms he stopped dragging his feet and did what we said. You know every once in a while mom and dad are pretty smart. Although it seems to be a rarity.

Did you know if your children have paper, pictures, a glue stick, and a cutter they will play for hours. My best friend for seriously ever came over tonight. Our husbands talk electronics while we worked on our scrapbooks. We have a lot to catch up on but thanks to the cricut it is all coming together nicely. I was able to get John Michael's K3 book done, with the exception of some pictures that I need to print and some more cutting that I need to do with the cricut. I will get that done this week though. Then onto Danny's first grade book. Then I might go on and do his 3K book so that other than the current school years we are up to date, well at least with that. Back to the original statement. Our children decided that they too needed to scrapbook and they did great. They had a blast and that is what I love. Plus they are adding to their creativity, which is always a good thing.

With the storms and us needing to watch the weather, we hooked the Wii up in John Michael's room. Well you know that they loved that so they literally would scrapbook and then play the Wii. It was too funny. I am already ready to do it again! Let's make a date!

Anyway, I made chicken and dumplings for dinner, they were yummy if I do so say myself.

Well, I am off to bed. Tomorrow is Mass, then cleaning, cooking, laundry and I am hoping a little scrapbooking, but I also need to be editing, so we will have to see how it all works out. Watch the blog tomorrow for updates on our Sunday! Before I go to bed I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. I am so thankful that in reading my friend's blog baby Jemma is definitely making great strides. Keep the prayers up everyone!
