And You Thought My Last Was Random....

Ahh, I am itching!  We got the okay this afternoon to paint our apartment....provided we put it back to white before we move out.  I am SO excited.  I am SICK of boring white walls, and I can not wait to add a little spice to our lives walls.  As I am typing this I am calling my Mom to see if she would be available to watch the kiddos for us, but....she didn't answer.  DARN HER!  Lol.  Eh, she probably didn't turn her phone off vibrate after she got off work.

Hubs is attending a conceal carry class on Saturday.  I have no idea why because he doesn't even own a gun.  I think he just likes to know that he can.  Who knows.  Guys are crazy.  Even if he never ends up using the information shared in the class, he should have a good time hanging out with the guys.  His dad, my dad, and a few other men are going.....it is good for him to get out with other men and spend a Saturday morning learning about guns and gun safety.

I got a new phone today.  My 5th replacement phone since I got my new one in December.  Yes, I know....ridiculous.  But, I am hopeful that this will be my last replacement phone!  I don't want to have to transfer contacts/add e-mail accounts again until I renew my contract.

We are planning on having our family/individual pictures taken the first weekend in October, and I have been busy planning our outfits.  Which is fun, but man....why does it look better if people match?  It would be so much easier to just throw on something that looks nice and snap away.  Well, I am sure you can do that....and look perfectly fine.  But, that is not how my mind works.  I want people to match, well....not match but coordinate.  Yeah, I might be a little crazy.  So, I have a couple of items waiting in my "shopping bag" at OldNavy.com, and I can't wait till Friday when I can order them.  :)

Okay, I don't watch Days of Our Lives often...but, I have been trying to get caught up this last week.  Didn't Sammy just ALMOST marry EJ, and now she is in bed with Raf?  WTF?

We are planning on heading to the zoo Monday afternoon.  It is Z's day off, and we haven't been yet this year.  We took Jackers last year, and he LOVED it.  I can't wait to show our Ady, and see what interests Jack this year.  (You can see our zoo trip from last year, here.)

Man, they are growing up too fast.

Anyway, sorry about this all over the place post....but, it is what is on my mind.

Oh, and don't forget to enter my giveaway!  Seriously, don't forget.  :)

Even More Random Than Before

Does anyone else dress their kiddos in matching outfits?  Well, I dress them in coordinating outfits.  Haha.  My husband thinks I am weird, but I still do it.  If Ady's dress has orange in it, Jacker's outfit includes orange.  Do you think I am kidding, just check out my header.  :)  Well, I think most parents try to dress their kids alike, so I am probably far from alone on this one.

I think it is absolutely adorable when my son does "adult" things.  Like the other day he ate a cheeseburger like a grown up.  In between his fingers, taking little bites.  I should have taken a video.  Before, when he had eaten cheeseburgers.....well he basically tried to shove the whole thing in his mouth.  So, we always cut it up into small pieces.  But, he is a big boy now and doesn't need his cheeseburgers cut up.  I can't believe it.


My darling daughter is not a very happy camper today.  Almost every time I put her down, she cries.  Which is not good for getting anything done, let me tell ya.  She hasn't been sleeping well, or eating very well....but, doesn't act sick.  So, I have no idea what is going on with her but, I hope it ends soon.  I am gonna go with "she's teething".  However, who knows.  Jackers didn't get his first tooth until he was 9 months old.  I am at a loss.

Drama is happening with my in-laws.  Thankfully not involving me, lol.  But, I can tell my husband is a little stressed out.  Mostly (I suspect) because his Mom is stressed.  Why can't people just act like adults, and deal with their problems?  If you choose to do something, you have to deal with the consequences and all that goes with it.

Do you ever find yourself singing silly songs to your kids to get them to do something?  I was singing "Blame It On The Alcohol" (or whatever that song is called) to Jack to get him to open his mouth during dinner.  How inappropriate.  Haha.  Tell me I am not alone on this one?  Someone else has sang "Poops in your pants, poops in your pants, every little baby likes to poop in their pants".  (sung to the tune of "Pants on the Ground")  HAHA!  I can't believe I just admitted this.  Oh well.  It is alright to embarrass yourself, right?

Seriously now, do you like these posts?  I know I should probably split them up a little better, into 3 or 4 blog posts.  But, when I think I am going to do that I never actually end up writing them.  So, this works for me.  But, I'd still like to know your opinion.  Thanks doll(s)!
