I think everyone knows where that line comes from!!
Today was a day of firsts....and when you have an almost 4 year old and an even closer to two year old, firsts are few and far between. This morning, Samantha had her first sliver extracted! DJ had his removed a couple days ago...but there were more today! The other day was his hands, and today was his feet. Sam thought she'd be cute and show DJ how easy it was to lay on the floor and put her feet up for extraction....and that's when I noticed she also had a couple slivers....so we dug 'em out and sent her on her way. She put up minimal fuss...DJ on the other hand...wow the theatrics!!!! Hopefully he learned not to go barefoot tho! And I think he got them on our own back deck...Howie pressure washed it, but its far from done!
Once the slivers were removed, and socks put on, followed by shoes, DJ was off to play outside with his neighbours...perfect thing to do at 10 am on a Saturday morning!! Sam and I were off to do some grocery shopping...and Howie was left at home alone to paint!
We came home with the costco load and had lunch...I put SamSam down for her nap against all protests until she actually got in her bed, and immediately laid her head down! Sometimes....
I then took off for the rest of the shopping...unfortunately time didn't allow me to wander off and explore, so I stuck to my list and did pretty good time-wise! Howie called me about 4 to say both of them were awake and he wasn't done! So I hurried home to guard the stairs!
After dinner I bathed the kids and got them ready for bed...which went smoothly...that happens when he's been playing outside for umpteen hours!! And Samantha only bellowed for me once tonite...and was quiet soon after.
Howie and I then had another first....it was date nite...and we went to the movies ALONE!!!! In all our years together (8 1/2) we've never gone to the movies just us! We've gone with Jake...with Jake and DJ...with friends...but never each other! Odd no?
In case you hadn't figured it out (or don't follow me on Facebook) we went and saw Alice in Wonderland! In 3D!!! Oh it was good!!! I wish tho that I'd had closed captioning for the Mad Hatter...Johnny Depp is phenomenal, but I could hardly understand him...even watching his mouth!! The whole movie was fantastic! The 3D was incredible and not inyourface like the old time 3D movies from when I was a kid. And the animation was wild!!!!!
I don't recall ever reading Alice in Wonderland as a kid...or maybe not in its entirety....nor have I watched other movie versions of it...so this was really my first time...and WOW!!! I'm blown away!!
And what a great date I had! He bought me popcorn too...which in itself is love as he HATES popcorn!!!! With a passion!! lol Isn't he sweet?!?!
Now, I'm off to bed!!! To dream of mad hatters, Cheshire cats, rabbits and large headed queen yelling "Off with his head!"
Til next time...ciao!

I don't like the jail Mum
Was what my son said to me in his uber sleepy voice!!!!! I'm glad that's what stuck with him from today's field trip!!
We visited the Monroe Police Department...one of the moms in the Mommy & Me group works as a dispatcher, so she got us our "in" to have a tour.
Kristopher was there, so he and DJ were pretty much glued together checking things out...which worked out perfectly for me as Samantha was on a tear today! It was like she cloned herself and was everywhere all at once!! I didn't get one picture taken thanks to her shenanigans! Thankfully, other moms did....one told me she got one of DJ in the back of the squad car...not my ideal photo!! And then my neighbour piped up and said she got one of him and Kristopher in the front of the car...thanks Lara!!!
We got a tour of the inside of the building...the holding jail cells (4 of them) and the kids got to check out the finger print machine...and then they got a little car seat safety lesson and play with a shield, helmet and vest...and then the squad car outside. We had a great police officer who let the kids play with the lights, sirens and spot light...and climb all over the car. My only complaint (if you can call it that) was that the car was running! What if one of them had knocked the car in gear...accidentally, but knowing that's "How mommy does it"...Y'know?
All in all, it was a great tour!!! So to have DJ remember it and tell me about the jail many hours later...without prompting...tells me he enjoyed it too!!
At the end, they gave the kids those litter bags from long ago that we used to get at parades and such when I was a kid...filled with a wood air plane, crayons, colouring books/pages, a balloon, a pencil and a whistle.
WHY ON EARTH would they give toddlers whistles!?!?!?!? Not only did it drive me nuts, but apparently Snickers doesn't like it either and was wigging out whenever DJ blew his. Samantha totally enjoyed blowing hers while we were shopping at Freddy's today and telling who ever would look at her to "BOP!"...her version of STOP! It was cute...the first time! After the 10th time, it wasn't so cute anymore!!
DJ was extremely busy playing when I was ready to go shopping, so he stayed back with the neighbours (Thank you!) and even ended up having dinner there with them....pop and all! He told me the pop, and how he had a cup and everything....so cute! Sam and I had breakfast for dinner instead! Worked out perfectly if you ask me!!
Now, I've got my first batch of homemade granola in the oven...smells heavenly!!!! And I'm on the last sleeve of the sweater!!! I really will make my goal of having it done by Sunday...in fact, I think I'll have another one on the needles by then!!! Sweet!!!

Short and Sweet
Tonite's post is gonna be just that!
I'm exhausted!!!
DJ woke up at 3:30 to crawl into bed with me....and got up for the day at 7:15.
Howie came home from his last graveyard shift just as Sam was getting up...so I got up too.
Took the kids to Albertsons for a "Healthy Eating" tour of the store.
Kids did great...they got bread, fruit, touch a crab and oyster, try some chocolate soy milk (it was alright) and got a sticker
They also got a lunch bag that had a healthy lunch in it...they were both excited to eat it.
After lunch Sam went down for her nap.
DJ went outside to play.
Howie went outside to play with his boat.
The boys went and put gas in the boat.
I grabbed shower while all was calm.
Once the kids were in bed time mode with Howie reading them stories,
I ducked out to go "grocery shopping" but really I went to a pub to watch an up and coming country music artist, Chance McKinney.
He did mostly covers and one original song, but he's got a great voice!! Very funny too!
It was a short and sweet concert as it was for minors as well. He's a science teacher at a local high school in Mukilteo, where we used to live.
I did actually stop at Freddy's on the way home for milk.
Now, I'm home and frozen!!! Gonna go crawl in bed next to my warm husband and let him know I'm home with my cold feet. hee hee hee
Oh and I got chastised today by HELEN, my matron of honour, who I should have mentioned by name, but didn't...I wasn't aware she was a loyal reader until today...click follow people!!! lol love you!

Seven years ago
I married the man I love!!!
SEVEN years!!!! This is the most I've ever been married...but not the least! Not by far!!! We have SO much fun together, this is for life!! Go ahead, puke if you want to...but damn, it's good to have the real thing!
Seven years ago we were waking up in Las Vegas...our wedding was at 5 pm so that viewers on the east coast could watch it at home...that's right...we were in on the then cutting edge technology and had our wedding broadcast online!!! That way if they couldn't make it to Vegas, they could at least still be a part of our special day! It worked wonderfully too!! So much so that when I was pregnant with DJ, my cousin asked if I was going to broadcast his birth online...ha! no!
Back to my wedding day....We had a leisurely breakfast, and then me and my Matron of Honour went and got our hair done...I was STUNNED when my hair do cost more than my dress!!! Floored! It did look good tho! So did she! She wore red...I let her pick whatever colour she wanted as she was my only attendant! Worked perfectly!
After we were married, we went back to our hotel so I could change, and then dined in our hotel's dining room which was AMAZING!! My first time ever having Creme Brulee and I loved it!!
Today...Seven years later....I woke up with DJ in my bed....and Howie still at work. He came home about 8:20 and crawled into bed at 8:45...and slept all day! LOL
We were gone to story time (again!) and then off to a birthday party for a boy in the Mommy & Me group...at a place in Bothell called Country Village...if it's nice when my parents are here, I want to take them there...its quite quaint! Plus, I didn't get to explore it by any means! We were in the park area where they have mini golf and train rides...which weren't operating today...and a playground and picnic tables. Who knew you could have a picnic in MARCH!! The weather wasn't great...but it wasn't bad either!!
The kids enjoyed themselves! Samantha almost fell asleep on me in the truck, which in hindsight, I should've just let her do it...she got NO nap today! I did stop on the way home to get one more skein of the yarn I'm using on the sweater....I need it for the sleeves...which I got started on the first one tonite...this thing is just knitting up FAST!!!!
Dinner was wonderful!!! We had no plans for going out tonite, as Howie has to work, and our sitter was otherwise committed....so we bbq'd some steaks, and I baked some yams, and steamed some asparagus. DELISH!! We'll be going out Sat nite for our dinner date!
The kids were SO exhausted they were both sound asleep by 8:09! Sam even fell asleep nursing which she hasn't done for a year now!! Poor thing! She also just woke up a half hour ago with a bad dream I think...she just sat up, said "nose", I asked if she wanted a tissue, she said "yeah" and I wiped her nose, she laid back down and went right back to sleep. Love when it's that easy!
Now, I'm going to go back to knitting...I want half this sleeve done...I'm predicting I'll have the sweater done by Sunday nite...might be pushing it...but it's a goal!
Til next time...ciao!

I do NOT like
Waking up with a headache!! Right behind my left eye....just pounding away!
Howie got home just as I was getting up...so he got me some Advil and I went on...hoping the pain would dispel SOON!
It didn't!
This morning we were going to a new story time (to us) at the Snohomish library...about a half hour from here. I'd heard he's really awesome and he plays guitar for all his songs.
He IS really good!!!!! I just wish my kids were!!!
The door to the OUTSIDE was propped open with a garbage pail...and a see thru screen was dropped down....not nearly enough to keep Samantha away! She was my most belligerent child today!! DJ was sitting nicely, listening, watching and then he'd get sidetracked by Sam off doing something she shouldn't! OY! It was a challenge!
After that we came home and had lunch....head still pounding....I got Sam down for her nap, and DJ and I watched TV...his first time watching Spongebob Squarepants...and he fell asleep! Thank you Lord!! Howie got up about 2:10 and I went and crawled into bed.... All the while thinking to myself, "I can't sleep past 3...no, 3:30....I have to make the sauce for dinner..."
Next thing I knew, it was 4:15!!!!!!! GAH!!!! I was floored I slept so long!! Must've needed it tho! My headache wasn't gone tho...in fact, I turned the light on in the bathroom and thought I was blinded!!! Took some more Advil and got about the business of making dinner. Howie went and took a nap, opting to eat when he got up instead of with us...which was fine as we were going to another story time...Pajama Story time! This time we took Kristopher with us...like we did last time...the kids had fun! Each boy got a new book checked out...about frogs....and they both made a "book" about the cycle of frogs...it was fun!
We got home and Howie was up and ready to help with the bedtime chaos! Then he got ready for work and left....and I got down to colouring my hair. Oh, and the headache was gone!! Finally!
So, now I'm blonde again...and going to sit and knit! And just so I don't get yelled at...check out this amazing deal that Tightwad Mama mentioned on her blog!!!!
Til next time...ciao!

Jake, Jake, Jake!!
Oh...I'm probably as heartbroken as Tenley is right now!!!!
If you follow The Bachelor you know what I'm talking about...if you don't...that's okay! (that was more for my parents than anything :) hahaha)
Men are stupid sometimes....thinking with the wrong head! There, I said it! I'm done! I wish Tenley all the best in her life!!!
Today was a BEAUTIFUL day for March 1st!!! Truly remarkable!! I was even out there with no jacket on it was that nice!!!
Samantha has learned the fine art of begging....and her persistent ways are quite amusing!! She wants to be outside with DJ ALL the time now!!! Howie is working graveyard this week, and that means he's getting home right as we're getting up. He's also going to bed right when the kids are their loudest...in the mornings! Trying to keep them occupied and quiet is a job in an of itself! Turns out tho I needn't be so worried....he's got earplugs and can't hear a thing! Good to know!
In any case, there came a knock on the door about 11:30 and it was Kristopher asking to play with DJ...methinks his mom saw my status update on Facebook about trying to keep them quiet...THANK YOU!!!
Samantha was okay with DJ going outside...she played upstairs and downstairs....she was quite content! But then came lunch! I wasn't sure if DJ would want to eat when we did, but I made up a plate for him anyways...and he did...but he wanted to eat outside!!! I saw our neighbours eating on their back deck, so I thought he wanted to join them...I got my shoes on and was all ready to go over there and get him settled...but he just wanted to eat outside on OUR back deck...where there's no chairs....no table...nothing! But that's what he wanted...and that's what he did!
After lunch SamSam was inconsolable about wanting to outside to "nay" (her version of play) and so we changed her diaper, put her shoes on and headed out. We were out there for a good hour if not longer. And boy, she did NOT want to come inside!!! But a nap was in order for her! She fought that too!! And then, when she woke up (after me waking her) she was all snuggly til she saw DJ was still outside playing. She then got down off my lap, went downstairs to the front door, got her shoes, came back upstairs and brought them to me and said "nay!"
Since I did say she could go back outside, I gave in! That and Howie wanted to go have another bit of sleep. I took a magazine and sat on the stairs while she played. Then Caleb came out and the two of them checked each other out. Then the neighbours decided to go for a walk, and invited us to join...so we did!
Samantha got to learn about cars and how she needs to stayclosetome when she sees one...thankfully we're out in the boonies and there aren't even a fraction of what we had at our last house!!! We had a great walk and got back about 5:45...just in time to get dinner going. The kids were starting to meltdown...so food was good! Howie had already woken and was helping get everything done! Whew!
Both kids went down fast tonite too! Sam did fight a bit...she didn't want to nurse at all...just wanted Daddy...so I let her be. He went in, tucked her in, and said good nite...and the crying started!!! I went in about 10 mins later and she wanted to nurse...so we did! I've decided to start cutting her sessions down...we're starting at 5 minutes...she was happy with that! And when right to sleep when I laid her down.
Howie left for work and I got down to knitting! Man, it's coming along FAST!!!!! I may have this done before Sam's birthday, which would be AWESOME!!!!! And I watched the Bachelor...shaking my head! Still shaking my head!!!
Til next time...ciao!
