Quiet Will Soon Be Mine

We are eagerly awaiting my in-laws, who are graciously whisking our two youngest off to the farm for the weekend. The bags are packed and the kids are already strapped into their carseats in the entryway waiting. Well... almost.

I am so looking forward to a weekend of no diapers, no screaming, no 2 year-old tantrums and sleeping all night. Bliss, sweet bliss!

On a side note... Lev just cleaned the bathroom. Do all men think that if you just douse the room in bleach it will be clean??? My lungs are clean, that's for sure. We may have to leave the house while it airs out. Maybe no bleach next time; ok?

Heartless

The Fray has kicked Kanye's ass with their cover of this song. I've been meaning to link to their version for awhile now, but would get side tracked.



Hmm, I just found this one too. This kid is awesome! Love it, well done!

Boys Will Be Boys

It has finally been so beautiful and hot here that Alek and I set up the pool this afternoon. Once Mikah woke up from his nap, it was off to the races! They had quite the time splashing water at each other from across the pool (it was deemed way to cold to actually get in). It didn't take long for Mikah to lose his diaper. It wasn't long after that that he was busy impersonating a dog. He peed on the patio, his bike, the wiggle car, a dirt pile, a tree, and most likely his brother too.

I don't get it but both he and his brother thought the whole thing was hilarious. Boys.

Last Day

Today is my last full day of teaching; for a few weeks anyway. I'm really looking forward to the short break. I'm feeling slightly burned out but at the same time it's hard to believe how fast the year has flown by.

Now, if only summer would actually get here. Seriously. Enough with the sad weather already.

Vroom Vroom

Mikah's favorite activity is driving the van. I often let him sit up there and pretend to cruise the streets to his hearts content while I am busy carrying groceries or children into the house. He is beyond thrilled when you jump in the passenger seat and let him play chauffeur for a change. The other day he was driving and I was enjoying a relaxing ride. But he's no dummy. "Key." He wanted me to put the key in so he could start the van. But, I'm no dummy either.

So he thought and reassessed the situation. Hmm, if a key wouldn't be going in the slot... bingo! "Loonie! Loonie pease!" Yep, it must be a loonie that makes the car go, just like the ones at the mall.

Smart boy, but I'm hoping that I never find any money shoved in the ignition. Then the whole thing might not be so hilarious.

~Grrr~

I have had the absolute worst day. I didn't think anything could possibly make it better and then I saw this. It reminds me of something my sister and I would do. Yep, we're ridiculous. So Heather, this is for you. Thanks for keeping me sane. Well, sane-ish.

I'm Here

It would seem that I haven't been keeping up my posting lately. Hopefully you can forgive me. I took some "me time" on the weekend and went to visit my sister. It was so nice to get away and have some time to hear my own thoughts and unwind. We wandered aimlessly around some shops which was unusual for me. My shopping life now consists of running into and out of stores, make that as few stores as possible, racing down the aisles while trying to keep the little ones from pulling out each others hair, and dodging the toy aisles as much as possible. Not exactly a relaxing or enjoyable experience.

I got to try on clothes. By myself in a changing room. Amazing! And I even found some that fit this post baby body, even more amazing! It's so nice to have decent clothes in the closet again instead of schlepping around in things that I wear because they fit, they all go together and they are quick and easy to put on. Oh, and covered in drool, snot, and food stains. I'm slowly starting to feel like myself again.

It was such a beautiful day on Saturday that we decided to go and play golf. Much hilarity occurred. Well, on my part anyway. Let me just say, the LPGA has nothing on me LOL! It was good times. Followed by a few drinks. In a lounge, not while lounging on my couch after all the kids are finally in bed for the night. They were fun drinks, not sanity saver drinks, if you know what I mean...

Sunday I slept in. Past 8:30. It was like being young again. Anyway, all in all, an excellent weekend. I think I'll be there again next weekend Heather!
