Happy Fathers Day

A day late, but it was a busy weekend! Saturday we celebrated my bday with a bbq with Tobys family. Great cake. And we went to see Kung Fu Panda, hil-freaking-larious.

Sunday, for fathers day, I woke up early. Maddie woke up early too, Gwen refused to get out of bed, you know pre-teens. Nicky had snuck into our bed at about 0430 and stayed in there a while. I baked a cake and prepped it for icing. Then made a breakfast for the family. Each kid made Toby a handmade card. Madison wrote something along the lines of - Get er done. LOL...she told us she wrote that to her uncle too. I haven't the faintest where she got it from, obviously not from us. But none the less, I found it amusing. After breakfast we went to see the Incredible Hulk...Nicky calls him the Incredible HUNK...Toby does NOT find this funny. I do! Ha ha! Then we rented the Avengers, we came home, I made dinner and put the movie in and old lady me fell asleep on the couch at about 7pm!

Happy Fathers day Dad and Toby...I love you both!

Thankful Thursday

Ha ha...can you tell how I've dropped a lot of days? I'm over Mondays and Wednesdays and weekends...those are boring. Tues, Thurs and Friday work for me. So onto today, Thursday, what I'm thankful for.

In no particular order

• My bff - Shes super cool and always has my back. Even through a lot of bologna we had in the past she was still there standing strong. I love you girl.
• Having a car that works - Considering where I work, if I didn't have a car, I would be royally screwed. I love you my little car.
• Corona - Yum. With lime of course.
• Perfect afternoons - the ones where you can sit outside without baking and the wind blows softly around you. Ahhhhhh

Join in - Lets hear what you are thankful for!

Boobies For Sale

Come and get em. They are yours if you want them. I'm done with them. They are too big and saggy. You can have them for free actually, just pay to get em' out and put em' in you. I seriously don't want to hear from someone that I'm lucky. I'm not. My back hurts and I look hideous in shirts and other things. I wanted this bathing suit, it was even the halter type to support them, but they totally were bulging out the sides and the tie at the top looked like it was going to bust open. I refuse to wear a one piece, fug.

So if you want them, you can have them. Hey, maybe I can sell them on ebay...you can sell anything on ebay. hmmmm

A few pictures

Of Madisons first couple of days and one of my mom too.

Tackle It Tuesday

I didn't do all the laundry, only about 3.5%, Toby did the rest. But I put it away...so I'm claiming the pictures.

After:

You know you're a mom if...

You bring your coffee creamer to work in a sippy cup.

Are you guilty?

So Renae showed us this blog. Hil-arious. I have to admit though that I am guilty myself of some of these things. I am so far from being rich that I could literally blend in with some of the day-labor guys down at Home Depot some mornings.

My sins:

#2 - Dumb baby names. - I don't think my kids names are dumb. At all. I did name them afterall. I do know that after I named Madison, 5 million other people did too. I did not follow a trend. I had a good reason for naming her that. You might be thinking great 'president' name. Which it could be. The real reason was - Splash. Yes, the movie. I loved that movie when I was a kid...I wanted to be a mermaid so badly! So, to me its not so bad, but people are always criticizing that name.

#9 - Cell phones for children - Madison has one. Not so she can call her girlfriends and chat about Hannah Montana or what outfit her barbie is wearing this week. She has it because I am cheap and its cheaper for her to be on my plan rather than me calling her dads phone.

#12 - High end child photographers - Yes, I take my own kids pictures, so I'm not paying out the kazoo for one. BUT, I fit the profile of posing them 'artistically' and in black and white. Guilty.

#14 - The Nintendo Wii - We have one. Got it for the girls for Christmas. Secretly though, I wanted to play it. Its great having kids as an excuse to buy things like this.

#15 - Childrens books - Definitely have more books than they read. Some have never been opened. Mostly because Nicky for example has his favorites. He will pitch a fit if he doesn't get to read the ones we have read 5 billion times. My laziness succumbs to reading that same book rather than dealing.

#16 - Wine - Yes I like wine. I really am not a wino, despite what Toby will tell you. I did have 5 bottles open in the fridge at one time though. I was having my own personal wine tasting session.

#26 - Baby Einstein - I didn't buy these because I thought he would become some genius. I really just wanted to let the good o'l tv babysit him for a few minutes here and there when I was doing my school work. It did the trick too.

#27 - Britax Carseats - We have two. I cave to peer pressure WAY to easily. It is a great carseat though, holds up to 80lbs in a 5pt harness. Although I'm sure that if Nicky is still under 80lbs (highly unlikely) by the time he is 8, he will have ripped me a new one for making him sit in a carseat at that age.

#29 - Webkinz - Both girls have these. I did not buy them. I think they are ridiculous.

So I'm not the best parent ever...but I'm pretty darn close!
