Growing up too fast....

My baby is growing up way too fast. I am not sure how this happen. I don't remember telling him that he was allowed to. BUT, it just happened. He's couting to 100, doing MATH(I don't think I was doing math in Kindergarten), Writing sentences, and simply amazing me every single day. What happened to that little 6lbs 9oz baby??? :(

free time and he chooses to practice writing letters :) I kinda like this age I think.....

My baby is in Tae Kwon Do twice a week, he's now a yellow belt :) and he's very proud of himself.

Our Christmas pictures for this year. Look how big he looks! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

I made coasters w/this picture and will give them to some of our family members as gifts from Aiden :) They turned out really cute.

I love that smile. <3

Aiden calls this tree our "school spirit" tree bc it is his school colors LOL. Purple and Gold.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

It's Fall woohoo

Aiden has had me decorating for Halloween and Fall :) After a billion trips to the attic, my allergies are now in full swing :/

Painting a pumpkin Black so we can turn him into a bat :)

Our "bat" pumpkin

It's Mickey Mouse :)

Our Mums. Aren't they beautiful?

pretty candle

Dracula refuses to stay standing up. I may have to "stake" him :D

my yard is becoming a grave yard....skeery huh?

Turn back....or else :) hehe

What? This could be you. My house is that scary.

I know I will be back in that attic bc there is still a dancing monster, a witch and I know for a fact that I have a "blood fountain" somewhere. lol. Scared yet? :)

Sick kids SUCK

If someone would have told me 6 years ago, that *I* would go through H-E-L-L getting my son to take his medicine, I'd laughed at them. Aiden has Strep Throat (yuck) and instead of a liquid antibiotic, I opted for a pill. You'd think this option would be much easier for a 5 1/2  year old who hates "yucky medicine". BUT OHHHHHH NO. He has gagged even w/the pill version and puked twice. To say that this mom is ready to pull her hair out is an understatement. SICK KIDS SUCK. So let the experimenting begin on "how to get this pill down his throat w/out him gagging". I will win this battle. He has got to start feeling better so he can get back to Tae Kwon Do and for crying out loud, a day at the park. If I hear, "can we go to the park" again as he complains about his throat hurting, I may explode LOL. Kids don't seem to get that they can't play w/others when they are sick. Other people do not want Strep Throat.

It really sucks to be sick on Fall Break. I am trying to look at it as, "at least he's not missing school" but I tell you, I may be crazy soon :)

He is "half Aiden and half Spiderman" in this pic hehe. He's reading his "weather books" that I ordered. He loves the weather :)

Hard to believe that that sweet face can become a BEAR when sick huh? LOL ;)

ahhhh summer

Yeah Yeah. When the heat index is 116, you just may think, "I am sick of summer, bring on Fall." HOWEVER, if you know me, then you know that I absolutely HATE winter. I do not like cold weather at all. SNOW? I could go my whole life and never see that stuff and be just fine, thank you very much. I hate it. It's cold, and I can't wear my flip flops in it or I will not have toes left....
SO, I try not to complain about the humidity, the sweat, the electric bill, the extreme heat warnings.....

AND this is why :) THANK GOD FOR A POOL!

My nephew loves playing in the pool. Isn't he cute? He's in his "pirate ship". Walk the plank arggggg.

Joe may kill for for posting this picture. That is MY pretty pink float MR. I hope he falls off.....

 

In this pic, that's my hubby in back, my sister, my nephew and Aiden w/his arm floaties :)

The moon on July 4, 2011.  It was pretty and w/all the fireworks going on, I think it was lonely :) lol

Those "color" catchers for laundry....

Well, I've been using them for a long time. I do like them, the brands I have used have been great. HOWEVER, I bought a reusable one and wanted to give it a try. I was skeptical but it wasn't expensive.

Did my first load of colored clothes with it today. All I can say is WOW. I really can't believe how well it did. I really think this reusable one does better than the disposable ones I've been using. Thought I would share my excitement. I know, it doesn't take much to excite me. BUT if you've ever ruined a shirt bc some dark blue shorts bled on the shirt, you totally know what I mean. LOL.

Can you see all the purplish blue? This cloth was completely white before I tossed it in washer.

Crazy huh? All of that would be on my clothes :0 and I checked every single item. NOT ONE spot of bleeding color anywhere other than THIS cloth. I am a happy gal.

My backyard is a jungle...

So this summer, I have seen a whole bunch of bunnies and baby birds in our back yard. WHY are they attracted to my back yard this year??? I have NO idea, but we kinda like it :)

Hello cute little bunny! I live next to a highway, so it's odd to us to see so many bunnies in our yard :)

big bunny. Maybe this is mommy bunny??

she's hiding LOL She's so cute.

It's Easter at our house every day I guess LOL.

I think he likes the flowers and clovers :)

Little baby bird. They were in a nest in my sons playhouse. Decided to try and fly today I guess.

They are always ready to eat LOL

Thanks for pooping down the playhouse. Appreciate it :/
