We like to food it food it......

After being inside from Tuesday to Thursday, i decided Friday would be a great day to go to monkey bizzness. And i had a couple errands to run, so it would have worked out nicely. However, on Friday when i got into the car, after i buckled the boys in, and we were ready to go. I put the key into the ignition and......Nothing, no lights, no sounds.......nothing. Apparently Monday after our trip to Sam's club, while Rohan was playing in my car, he turned on 3 of my lights. I didn't notice, and we haven't left in 3 days, so.......I had to VERY unhappy kiddos, as we couldn't go to the surprise i told them about. But, Eric and i made it up to them yesterday. We took them to Cherry Creek mall for some food play. And they LOVED it. We haven't been in a year, so it was almost new to them. They were also in the mood to pose, so i got some great pictures. We are all getting a little more used to me staying home. The boys and I have gotten a routine, of sorts and we are all liking it. I am very happy that the weather warmed up a little, I'm looking forward to being outside a lot more with the boys.

1st time bowling......

We took the boys bowling for the 1st time yesterday. And once we got over the meltdown of having to take turns (this is still a learning process for Rohan) we had a great time. Aragorn thought it was very cool to play bowling in real life, he has only ever seen it on TV. We plan to go again over the next few weeks, take advantage of the 2 free games a day they have right now for kids.

Gone, but far from forgotten......

Salli and Gladys,

We love you and miss you more and more each day. And today is no exception. Happy mother's day to two very awesome women, gone from our lives to soon, but never for a moment in our hearts.

Love,

All of us

Why did i become a mom?

I ask myself this question when the boys have driven me to the brink of exhaustion, when i am not to sure how much more of "mom....mom.....MOMMA" "ouch, stop hitting me" "MOM Rohan's spitting" "No you STOP" I can take. They always make me smile. I never knew if i would be a mom, not that i didn't want to be, truth be told, i didn't really know HOW to be a mom. It wasn't until i had Aragorn and REALLY until i had Rohan that i understood. No one knows HOW to be a mom. There is no test you can take, no book you can read, and no one you can talk to that will prepare you for your first projectile vomit experience, or your first up all night, literally no sleep with a sick child experience. But there is also nothing that can prepare you for your first "i Love you" or your first "That's my kid" moment. Now that i am a mom, i can appreciate my mom a whole lot more. I understand now she didn't know what she was doing either, but she did it DAMN well!! I am glad that she is her for my boys, to experience all the fun, all over again. I think she's getting off easy though, she was of no help on that projectile vomiting incident......I'm just saying!!

So i guess when i ask myself "why did i become a mom? I can say this is why!!

Mother's Day

Mother's day came a couple days early for me. The boys thought it would be cool for me to use it this weekend. I got a new coffee maker, and 2 new coffee cups. The purple one is from Rohan, who told Eric it was a king, and that's what he wanted. Aragorn picked the pink one cause it has a heart on it. I LOVE that i got new coffee cups for mother's day, can never go wrong.
