So Random....

We are on the verge of listing our house.  So this means lots and lots of cleaning and organizing and purging and so on.  I have spent today cleaning the kiddos room.  I am pretty proud of myself, I think I may even reward myself with a new label maker!  Then my family will officially think I am crazy.  Ryan has gotten into legos, not sure if I have mentioned that yet or not.  He seems to enjoy them..except for the one time when he stuck one up his nose.  Not sure if I mentioned that yet either.  Anyways I saw this really cute idea for storing legos on Pinterest (my new bff) using those plastic canisters that Folgers coffee comes in.  I always throw them away!  Not anymore.  We have one in the cabinet now and I cannot wait until it is empty and I can make a cute little label for it and store legos in it. 

Well I love yard sales...having them that is.  Most hate them but not me. I will be having one soon.  So I have this classic jean jacket from the Gap circa way early 2000's.  I MIGHT have worn it one time in the last oh seven years!  I saw it hanging downstairs today and I thought I really need to get rid of that....and then I thought what if I get invited to a Totally 80's Party? I will definitely NEED that jacket as part of my ensemble.  REALLY!!!!!!! This is why I have 10 totes full of random keepsakes! That jacket needs to go in the yard sale pile, but I cannot bring myself to put it in there.  Plus I know I paid a ridiculous amount for it and won't get anywhere near that price at a yard sale.  Ebay might be a better choice but I am to lazy for that.

Oh well off to the shower.  Pampered Chef party here I come!

Sports, school and life

So tonight we have our first T Ball practice of the year..ugh.  It is really a love/hate relationship T Ball and I have.  I think it is great that it is something Ryan has all to himself with out having to involve his sister.  He doesn't have enough of those things right now.  His best friend is playing on his team this year so that is an added plus for him.  Also my long ago best friend's son is playing on his team.  This is an added plus for Chloe and I, since he is playing that means Chloe's BFF will be there too (she is his little sister).  That is definitely a win-win.  Downfalls....the coach, something about him irks me big time.  Thankfully it is starting to bother Jason too.  Do I see a change coming next year?  Keep your fingers crossed.  One thing I really liked about T Ball last year was getting this adorable picture...

I cannot believe in a few short months Ryan's first year of school will be coming to an end.  What happened to my pudgy little baby?  We are going to celebrate the end of the school year by hopping in the new Mini van and driving across the country to visit family in Arizona.  I am super excited.  Well maybe not about the drive but the end result.  I have some great memories of the time I spent in Arizona.  I am excited to visit with family and friends and smell the clean air and see the mountians and eat at my favorite restaurants.  I realized the other day that my kids have never had Baskin Robbins ice cream!  We don't have one close anymore and haven't in years.  I cannot wait to order two scoops of Peanut Butter and Chocolate! 

Chloe attended her first "friend" birthday party the other day.  It was for her BFF that I mentioned earlier.  It was Dora themed and very cute.  Her mom did an amazing job.  Chloe had a blast and loved the magic wand she got in her goodie bag.  She has been turning all of us into frogs!  On a funny note...friday night I had a dream about Riding the Ducks(in Branson) and eating pork tacos at the Rib Crib.  They served PORK TACOS at the birthday party!!! I was so excited!  I guess it is good that there is not a Rib Crib or a Baskin Robbins close to us!  I would be 400 pounds!

This little girl has developed an obsession with spitting.  It is pushing me over the edge.  I will often find her spitting into the clothes hamper or on her brother.  Or on occasion she finds it funny to spit in her hand and then wipe it on my arm.  The other day was the worst.  I was on the phone with my aunt and sitting on the couch.  Chloe had a cup of chocolate milk and was watching cartoons.  All of a sudden she climbed up on my lap, took a big drink and then proceeded to spit chocolate milk in my face! I was in shock.  I literally sat there with chocolate milk dripping off my face, because I didn't know what else to do!
