Poor little JackJack...he got his first real "boo boo" yesterday...darn near broke my heart!! Was going full speed ahead and a crate of toys got in his way. (Sorry about the poor quality of the cell pics)

This was last night before bed...he was trying to smile and his big ol' fat lip was in the way :(


And this was taken this morning when he arrived at school. It literally took my breath away...

Saturday Mornin' Shenanigans

Daddy scored a ticket to the FSU v. Clemson game at the last minute, so it was just Momma and the boys on Saturday...

While I was puting J down for his morning nap, the boys got themselves dressed and I found them in the backyard, playing alligator catchers. Quite the imagination 4 year old's have!

Miller and Buckley supervised...


They played for hours in the backyard, while J napped and I did my 80th load of laundry for the day :)


Sweet JDH has been on the verge of cutting 4 teeth, subsequently, extra saliva = runny poops = nasty diaper rash, going on 9 days and counting. I decided to give his hiney some fresh air and let him roam diaper free outside... Well, the big boys were not going to pass up an opportunity to be naked either!!



They were even able to enjoy their lunch outside...how wonderful to be a child and not have a care in the world...



and...the Noles won!!! Image courtesy of Google images

Swimming at dusk

Swimming at dusk just might be my favorite time to take a dip. Not another person at the pool last night but me and my big boys. I even grabbed a bottle of shampoo on my way out the door and threw it into the pool bag and they took their "showers" outside, while the sun was setting!


Love the natural light that dusk offers as well...

Is it bed time yet?

Do you ever have one of those days? Yeah...those days, were you wake up, counting down the minutes until bedtime? Well...we had one of those nights last night. Now, looking back, it was rather comical...

All within a few hours...

I opened the frig and out came a Tupperware with just cooked teriyaki veggies. Splat...all over the floor, frig and my feet.

Skip ahead 1/2 hour...Todd is making a turkey and cheese sandwich, with big slices of juicy tomatoes on the stove, and I still have no idea what exactly happened, but the sandwich ended up on the floor. The spatula is now broken and Todd might still be hungry. What's another mess to clean up at this point?

Skip ahead 1/2 hour...Brody requested to go to bed at 7p...(by the way, I do not think ANY of our children have ever requested to actually go to bed, just saying.) OK, staying on point...and they still sleep in pullups, that we call "just in cases" and since B was not feeling well and dragging, Todd was helping him get his jammies on. As he was pulling up his just in case, he just started peeing. Right there in his room. Thank God none got on the floor, but still, another mess to clean up. This one not on the floor, but on a child. And this is a child that has not had an "awake" accident in over a year.

Skip ahead 1/2 hour...Wade comes running out of the bathroom...Mom! Dad! "The toilet has a BIG LEAK!" Come to find out it overflowed with all of it's nasty goodness...5 towels and some bleach, that too, was now cleaned up.

This was all on top of 2 kiddos out of school, B with a low grade fever and a cough and J with a diaper rash that just won't quit. Todd's TV went out, again, and my day at work was not good. It ain't always rainbows and butterflies.

This TV from our kitchen is not the TV Todd had in mind for football season. Hehehehehe:

Bug Catching

Saturday morning was spent catching centipedes with their Grammie. (At least she has 1 granddaughter to put bows on!!)



At one point, Wade had 8 little worms in his hands. Brody kept dropping his and I think Jack tried to eat one. We decided it was time to go back inside at that point...

Beachin' it

Memories in the making...a sweet Sunday afternoon with our babes...





My boys!



After we showered the sand off, we hung out under the pavilion, enjoying the gorgeous day. The big boys decided to sit at different tables...claimed they wanted their space :)

Preschool...

A glimpse into the day and life of a preschooler:
