Give Me Your Best Shot!

Linking up again this week for Give Me Your Best Shot!

Yesterday my youngest son and I went to the Zoo with my stepmom and my little sister.  My older boys were still in school, but my little sister was already on spring break (my boys started spring break today).

I got a few really cute shots of my sister and youngest son.  Those two are two peas in a pod when they are together.

Love it!

Link up and check out the other "best shots" this week!

Give me a few of your...

Alright, so I'm trying to find some new interesting good blogs to read!  Every time I click that "next blog" link at the top I get some stupid blog in another language or I get an error message.

So tell me...

What are some of your favorite must read blogs???

Come on, don't be shy!

Hey It's Ok Tuesday!

I got this idea from Amber.  She has written on her blog:

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. I think I’m going to do this every Tuesday now. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your diary.

So I'm doing it with her this week!

Hey It's Ok....

• To not be able to wait to get your kids off to school each morning.
  
• To not be a coffee drinker, yet when you buy a Keurig suddenly you can't stop drinking the stuff!
  
• To tell your children to go bother daddy you're on the computer!
  
• To wish it was summertime so you could send the kids off to grandmas for a few weeks
  
• To enjoy going to the gym because it gives you "me" time.
  
• To not like the show LOST even if everyone online seems to talk about it all the time.
  
• To secretly enjoy keeping up with celebrity gossip
  

Feel free to join up and participate in It's Okay Tuesday also!

A Scrapbooking Morning!

A few weeks ago I was going through my scrapbooks and realized just how far behind I had fallen.  I was so upset with myself.  I LOVE scrapbooking and can't help but smile when looking through the scrapbooks of the boys growing up and our family vacations and outings.  I vowed to start getting caught up on my scrapbooks and ran to the store that evening to get some stuff to do some pages.

Ok, ok, so that was about 2 weeks ago!  Yeah I bought the stuff and then it sat there in the bag without being touched.  I just couldn't find the time to do any scrapbooking!  Last night I decided to change that!  I'm starting with recent activities and then I'll do an old page or two inbetween all recent pages.  I will get caught up!

So here are the pages I've done between last night and tonight!

Now I'm out of paper, and have to run to the store to get more.  But I'm happy to be back in the swing of it.

I Heart Faces Week 13 (2010)

This week’s theme is Dramatic B&W. We are looking for B&W photos that are dramatic, sensational and/or moody in the way they are presented.

This picture is of my youngest son when he was about 3 months old.  Looks like he's taking out some rage on his play toys!

Head on over to iheartfaces for some more wonderfully dramatic Black and White Photos!

A lesson to always use the strap!

So this morning I was on the computer, doing my usual first thing in the morning things.  The boys were in the toy room playing on the Wii.  As I was checking emails I hear this loud "BOOM" then my oldest son let out this scream.

Of course I jump up and went running into the toy room.  All I was hearing was "I didn't mean it!" "Daddy is going to spank my butt so hard" and "It was an accident! I promise!"

I turn around in the toy room and saw .........

*gasp* *dies*

Yep that would be the wall mounted flat screen TV in the toy room!

The boys were playing Wii and Aidan wasn't using the remote "strap" and when he threw the ball "bowling" he somehow let go of the remote and it went flying straight into the TV!

I thought my husband was going to flip a lid.  He knew it was an accident though, so there wasn't to much punishment.  But omg!  Now we'll have to somehow replace that TV.

Let this be a lesson to always use the wrist strap with the wii remotes!!

Mama says No!

That is my youngest sons favorite saying.  Whenever he doesn't want to do something, or whenever you ask him to do something he'll say "Mama says No!"  My husband looked at me the other day and said "You really need to stop saying no!" LOL

I bring this up because my mother in law was just on the phone with my kids and on her turn talking to Avery they were talking about using the potty. This was their conversation:

MIL: "Are you using the potty yet?"
Avery: "Mama says No!"
MIL: "Mama says you can't use the potty?"
Avery: "yeah!"
MIL: "are you fibbing?"
Avery: (more forceful this time) "Mama says NO!"
MIL: "I don't think mama says you can't use the potty"
Avery: "yeah!"

I was laughing so hard!  Can you believe he's blaming me for him not using the potty?  LOL!  I told Avery to tell her how he has a potty.  He then proceeded to take the phone into his room and said "Potty see" and then put the phone in front of the potty! LOL  I told her he was showing her his potty through the phone.  He then said "Mama hold phone, I pee" and handed me the phone and sat on the potty.  I said "you have to take your diaper off first!"  He said "nooo!"  I said "well then all you're doing is peeing in your diaper!" He said "mama said no!" I said "I did not say no, I said yes!"  He repeated "Mama said no!"

*headwall*

I don't think this boy will ever use the potty!   Especially if mama keeps saying no! LOL
