Shopping

Remember I said I was going shopping for a sweet awesome bed that a couple awesome ladies shared with me....

Well after a very long day and lots of laughs and laughing at my mom regarding my kids I did in fact get a lot of cool stuff and a sweet bed that the little man LOVES!! He is also sleeping better since the big new bed :)

Without further ado.........................the bed....... and some other stuff...
Side of bed
under bed :)


A much more "fitting" laundry basket! Seriously this is some serious wicker, not that cheap brittle stuff and it was only 14.99

Nightstand's before
AND after...........

Easter

Our Easter in pictures:) The pic's of me are NOT of the best quality and I did need to mess with color on them so you could actually see my face but the rest turned out great....
Ari's mood was pretty much what you saw, it's tuff being 3 you know.......

out of breath

On the way home from school yesterday,
Me: Norah why is your face so flushed?
Norah: (Big sigh type breathing)because we did a lot of running in gym today
Me: really?
Norah:(exhausted words) ya, she even set a timer and everything, followed by sighs
Me: OH really for something like 3 minutes??
Norah: YES 3 MINUTES and we had to run the whole time!
Guess who's going to IKEA tomorrow, yup that's right I am! I have never been but am very excited for the almost 3hr drive with my mother and 2 youngest!

Guess what I'm getting there........oh ya that's right a bed, a big boy bed for the little man:) yup yup yup!

CAN NOT wait!

It all started with a simple text to my mother that I found the bed I wanted for him and my sarcastic self told her no worries it's only about 3hrs to go get it and she replies with when we going....
THEN I did some research to see if I could find something closer, it's insane how awesome IKEA is on price. The closest I could find was about 100. MORE and the one I did like was 800. HOLY COW!!!
I hardly slept last night,and probably wont tonight either..........

The Carnival

I think there is a secret universal thing that happens to us when we become mothers....We easily become cheerleaders of kids, not just our kids mind you but all kids who are trying something new or just plain trying REALLY hard....
An example, while at the school carnival I passed a young man from Isaac's class and said "hi Chauncey"(learned his name the first 30sec. of my first time serving lunch, why bc he's so hyper his tush NEVER stayed in his seat for more than 2sec.)
ANYWAY he says to me this big long winded something about how he did this game and it went in the last bucket on his first try and he did it 2times in a row and no one else had etc. The jist of it was that he's a rock star so I say something like "THAT'S AWESOME, WAY to go buddy"!!

and with that I'll give you some pictures..........


Little man was winning EVERY game he played, not just "good try, here's a prize" but actually winning. He won the cake walk the first time we did it :)
We went back one more time and wouldn't you know it he won again AND SO DID I, woo hoo!!

Here he is fishing and not doing to shabby

This is where the cheerleading comes into play, This is her second try, the first one went in the hole ever so slowly and went out the back, hit the wall came back into the whole and out again. The 2 ladies and myself groaned quite loudly with all that with the oooooooooooo.... By now she's 3 shades of red (probably from embarrassment) and this one went right in and stayed there and all 3 of us ladies instinctively raised our arms up in the "touchdown" pose and shouted something good like WOO HOO, way to go!!
He was trying anyway
How cute are they in their baby blues :) Oh and nothing quite like processed cheese product that doesn't need to be refrigerated....
This is the ONLY picture of Isaac, he got his punch card and disappeared until it was gone, then he came back asking for another :)
I think this may have been the littler 2's fav. part of the whole night. We had to park somewhere else(you know parking is an issue right?) and they had 2 trolley's taking people back and forth, this was on the way back.......
Who care's if it's blurry, it is moving geesh!!!
