And Babies Make...5

Tyson said his 1st bad word today, courtesy of yours truly...The best mama out there!  I normally am very careful about what I say in front of the boys, but today...not so much.  A little background...the boys got these stuffed animal Monkey's and for some reason the boys are beyond attached to them and we have spent way too many hours looking for them before bed time, when they wake up, breaking up fights and just dealing with taking the monkey everywhere... And today was no exception.  As we were getting out of the car, I told Tyson that he needed to leave the monkey.  He fought me and fought me and fought me until he won... of course .  I was on the phone with my bff, and as he was getting out of the car and out of frustration and irritation, I said "effing monkey" (and yes, I actually said the "f" word) and sure enough Tyson says "effing monkey" while making monkey dance.  At first I was mortified, but since then I have been able to bring ...

What a day this has been!!  I was swamped all day at work and then when I get home the kids & hubby worked me to the bone!  Within 5-10 minutes of being home, I completely endured my crazy household and then the night just kept going... Rob was in and out of the house trying to put together the new swingset...which is ridiculously huge and we are only on step 17 or 18 out of 50...he kept double checking the "how to" video and then calling me out to help and then saying nevermind occaisionally!  Kaila had an attitude of crazy hormonal tweeness and didn't want to do anything for anyone and was not getting along with the boys.  Lincoln was running around with a mallat from the drum set pretending to hit Tyson who is screaming in fear that he's going to get wacked .  The boys began dumping out my purse and making a complete disaster.  I removed them from sitting on the stools and then Tyson throws ...

What a weekend!!  It has been non-stop going! It started with coaching my first softball game...thanks to my lovely daughter for volunteering me to be get coach! I was nervous, so much that I forgot to put on my sunscreen and got fried--yay, me!  But I have to say that the game went really well, as more time went by I was more and more comfortable being the Coach...it also helps knowing you have a great Assistant Coach by my side :) I don't know what the final score was (yeah, we didn't have anyone keep score on our side...rookie move, I know!), but we did get multiple runs, they batted really well and the pitchers (who never pitched a game in their life!) did an amazing job!!!  And I have to point out that my girl got a huge hit at her last at bat---I was so excited that I nearly stopped paying attention to the rest of the game--Ha!! I am actually very excited for the next game! We also started a new project this weekend...a new swingset/clubhouse thing!...
