Hump Day!

T was feeling terrible this morning so once we were done getting everyone ready and out the door he headed back to bed! CJ and I headed to EP to help Laura clean out and pack up the PTA stuff in A7! 

CJ found this fake flower in A7 and put it in my hair for me, then he took this photo so I could see it!! Hahaha!!

We were there till 11PM. Then Krista invited us to GH's for a playdate so we headed there! We played till 1PM. Then CJ and I headed to McDonald's for lunch! Once home I started filling out CJ's forms for pre-k (Mrs. Bradley had given them to me that morning at the school). S stayed after school because she had graduation practice and so we went to pick her up after the boys got off the bus. Once we got her I took the kids to Dunkin Donuts to get a treat!! 

It's Thursday!

So we were up and at them at 6AM this morning and we didn't head back to bed :-( T had to leave for Ohio by 6:30AM and I have so much going on in my life right now I need every spare minute - so I cleaned until the boys got up!! So once I got everyone fed and out the door, CJ and I headed to town to drop him at his school! Then I came back home and Jenn came over and we spent an hour chatting and filling goodie bags. Then I spent the next 45 minutes typing up some lists for the 3rd grade party that I needed to email to Mrs. Bradley and then the last 15 minutes before I left I hurriedly packed a lunch for CJ and I!! Went into town and got CJ and then we headed to Mack Park! We ate lunch with Laura, Chase, Elle, Joshua, Chrissy, Braden, Amy and Alicia - well Chase, Elle, Joshua and CJ ate - the other two went off to play. 

We were there till just after one and then we came home! I sat and typed up the form stating that school district does indeed acknowledge our new PTA and then I called the Administration office to see who I could get to sign it for me and notarize it! I got a quick answer and they were willing to fit me in so CJ and I headed up there! Then we went into East Pike to get some slips from the PTA box and then we came home! The boys got off the bus and then I had to run into the Jr High at 5PM to pick up R. I came home and made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then me and the boys ran S to the high school for Madrigal's practice at 7PM. Came home and rushed Little man and Gman through their showers, got all 3 boys in their jammies and then back to the high school by 8PM to pick S up! Once home I sent the boys to potty and then put them straight to bed! Then I sat on my office floor watching Youtube videos and making paper plate "paddles" and blowing up (by mouth) 23 balloons for Balloon Badminton tomorrow!! Now I'm writing this and gonna hit the hay! I am whooped!! CJ and I have some running to do in the morning so I'm gonna turn in!!

Happy Hump Day!

Such a busy morning/afternoon! Our morning routine was pretty normal and easy because I made the mac & cheese last night so I was back in bed quick! Then wasn't much sleeping though so I was up at just a little after 7AM and in the shower! Then the morning with the boys was pretty normal. T needed to leave by 8PM for work so it was just me and the boys after that! I got Little man and Gman on the bus and then CJ and I hit the road for my doctors appointment! We got there and got right in and saw Dr. D right away! He had my blood work and since I stopped dieting and exercising and gained back all my weight (50lbs), my cholesterol was back up again!! BOO!!! But he was happy I was back to eating right and exercising so he'll test it again in 6 months! Then we rushed back to town to met Krista, Chase and Elle at the library! The kids listened to a story, sang some songs and then got to plant a flower! 

Then they played for a bit before we left to head to McDonald's for lunch! Jenna met us there too and sat for a while with us! Then at about 1:00 PM it was time to go! CJ and I hit JoAnn's and Michael's and then headed home - it was after 2PM! Then the rest of the afternoon I worked on laundry and also worked on getting some paper work for the 3rd grade party ready! Then it was brinner for dinner (egg sandwiches) and then daddy was home by like 6PM!! After I helped got all the boys showered I messed around online a bit and now I'm writing this and then gonna hit the hay!!

Playdate

Went for a walk.Got some new sunglasses because I'm wearing my contacts more! Met Amy and Chrissy at the park after preschool - it was warm but windy! CJ got along so well with everyone!! Got a little windburn/sunburn

Park playdate!

Just a normal Tuesday morning around our house! Got all the kids off on the school buses and then I tool CJ to school, Mrs. Rosendale dropped Elle off and had her new baby boy with her so we got to see him, he was so tiny and cute!! Then I headed to Wal Mart to get something for CJ and I for lunch since we were meeting Chrissy, Amy and Krista at the park after school, because it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!! I ended up getting him a lunchable and a pasta salad for myself! Then it was back home to chill for a bit! Once I got CJ pick up from school we headed to Mack Park! 

Krista, Chase and Joshua were already there and CJ had a ball playing with Chase!! Eventually everyone else showed up and CJ even had fun playing with Alicia and another little girl from his school, but man he still does not like Braden: Can't say that I blame him, he hit Chase today in the head and made him cry!! We stayed there till about 1PM and then it was time to get going! We had to run to McDonald's because I was starving and CJ was thirsty. Then we had to go to Giant Eagle to pick up S's prescription. Then I headed to Michael's and picked up some scrap goodies. CJ fell asleep on the way home and had a nice little nap! Once we were home we just kind of chilled for a bit, I worked on a little laundry and read a bit! CJ watched a little TV. Once the boys came home they all went outside and played till dinner and then once I fed them they were back outside playing till 7PM. Then it was baths and bed for everyone!!

So I thought today was going to be a pretty lazy day,

at least until a little after dinner time. After we got up and got the girls out the door Tim had to leave and head to Ohio to help with some pizza stuff so I had to get the boys out the door by myself, which wasn't a problem we did awesome. After I went back to lay down though I got a text from Krista that she and the kids were going to the library for story/craft time and would we like to join them, I said yes of course so there went our lazy morning!! I showered quick and got Callum dressed, we made a quick stop to drop off his preschool tuition and then headed to the library!! It was such a HUGE crowd, I swear there must have been 20 kids there - so different then when we go on Mondays!!! Callum was so shy, but he did sing a bit and then we made a craft, a turkey door hanger. Then he played trains for a bit and then we left. We got home and had lunch, I worked on some laundry and then I had to go and get Sydney from county choir practice at 3PM.

Mailman finally brought me my awesome roller date stamp!!!

Got home and got the boys off the bus and then I started dinner - just spaghetti and meatballs. Then at 6:30PM I had to head to East Pike for a PTA meeting and I took the 3 boys with me!! They were pretty good and we were there till 8PM. I'm the coordinator for Graham's class Fall festival and so that's gonna be an experience!!! Hahaha!!! These other mothers better not suck!!! We headed home and I had Liam and Graham shower real quick and I told Callum we'd get him a bath in the morning!!! I got them in bed and they went right to sleep - thank goodness, I was at the end of my rope!!! Tim called and he is in Grove City and  on his way home. As soon as he get here I am going to BED!!! Until them I'm off to my bed room to read!!

Happy Hump Day!!!

T had to be up and gone early this morning so I was on my own, I packed easy lunches and the girls got their own breakfast and I went back to bed!! I didn't fall asleep but it sure was nice cuddling under my cozy covers. I got back up about 7:30am and made the boys oatmeal for breakfast and then cleaned up a bit (my bed, sweeping the kitchen and sorting laundry) and I noticed I had a text it was from Krista inviting us to Mack Park for play date/picnic!! I then did some CT work on the computer. Got our lunch packed and both of us dressed and out the door!! We played at the park till about 1PM, C was a little better, he didn't hide the whole time and he actually played cars with the kids for about 30 seconds!!! Hahaha!!! 

When we left we hit Michael's for tape refills, Wal Mart and then Mickey's for ice cream!! C fell asleep on the way home and then laid on the couch and slept till 4PM!!! I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then after dinner I made 3 dozen pumpkin muffins and folded laundry. Now I'm getting ready to head to my bed and snuggle down for the night!!! I'm beat and I can hear my bed calling my name, another busy day ahead of me tomorrow!!

Up and at em today as usual!!

Once we got every one fed and I got lunches packed (ham/cheese roll ups, grapes, apple bread and honey cinnamon crackers) daddy went back to bed because he was feeling terrible!!

He slept for a while and then got up and I convinced him to go to MedExpress!! C and I left the house at about 10:30AM to head to our playdate at B S Park with A & A and C and B. C was so shy and wouldn't play with A or B, in fact he was hiding for a while avoiding everyone until I called him out!!! We stayed till almost 1:30PM. B&A playing together, us mom's just talking and C playing by himself!!! :( I sure hope he warms up soon to them, it makes me sad he is so painfully shy!!! Once we got out of BS daddy called us and invited us to lunch - C choose Chinese - daddy was so happy!!!! Daddy let me know what all they did at MedExpress - he peed in a cup and there was minimal glucose in there, but there was lots of blood. They took 5 vials of blood and daddy started getting woozy even before the nurse started so they moved him to a bed!! Even then he almost passed out and they had to call a big male nurse/orderly in to help in case he started to fall out of the bed!!! The nurse said he looked terrible - like his skin was gray - so they made him stay there and lay down for almost an hour!!! They will call us when the blood work is back!! Then on the way home C was so tired he fell asleep!!

I left him in the van (I say out there with him) for a while but I had to go to the bathroom so I woke him up and got him in the house - but he proceeded to lay down on the couch and go right back to sleep!!! Daddy had to do a few things at the Indiana store but he was home in time for me to go pick up R from Spirit band at 4:15PM. Then we came home and I started getting dinner ready - Tacos. Once we ate it's the normal mad rush to get things clean and get baths and get kids in bed!!! Hahahaha!!! Then it was off to dream land for me and daddy!!!

Busy but fun day!!!

All the usually morning routine stuff happened: I sent scrambled eggs, sausage, cinnamon sugar pita chips and fruit in the kids lunches (pineapple for L and Kiwi for everyone else).

Then C and I headed to the track for a walk and ride. Once home I got us ready for our playdate at Mike Park (KG had text me last night and invited us), we were gonna eat lunch there too so I packed us a "picnic". We headed off and there was K with E & C, A with A (from C's class), C and B and another mom and her 2 kids that I was never introduced too. Poor C did want to play with any of the kids!!! He played by himself for a while and then found a "friend" in a little boy that wasn't in our group....he had a good time with him so I guess that is all that matters, right!?!?! We stayed and played (and talked) till about 12:45 and then we headed home, C did not want to leave!!

I worked on some laundry and then at 3PM we left to go to EP, I volunteered to help sort their Market Day stuff. We were there about an hour and C was so shy!!! He colored a bit and then helped me sort a bit, but mostly he hid under the lunch tables!! We were done at 4PM, but L and G didn't want to ride with me they wanted to ride the bus so I sent them home for S to get off the bus. Then C and I stopped at Sheetz for drinks and then headed to the Jr. High and waited to pick R up from Spirit Band practice, she was done at 4:15PM. I was at a loss at to what to make for dinner - nothing was sounding good - I found some chicken nuggets and fries in the freezer so that is what I made!! Daddy made it home at about 7:30PM and it was a mad rush to get kids showered and in bed!!!
