Sunday Night

It's nice a quite in the house so I thought I would take some time to share our weekend, so far. Friday was only a few days ago but heck if I remember what we did. I think Sam's Club was involved and playing outside with neighborhood kids. Saturday we got up and headed to the Dover Children's Museum. Of course I got us lost on the way but Ben was a great sport about it. The Museum was nice, the kids had a blast but it was kinda small. Now please realize I'm still in the "compare everything to OR" phase. And compared to the Children's Museum and OMSI it wasn't much fun. But the kids couldn't tell a difference and we had a blast watching them explore. After they put on a little "show" for us on this stage that was right outside. Headed home and their friend Tyler was outside playing. We spent the rest of the day riding bikes, scooters, power wheels and just getting dirty. We brought Bryce in for bed by 7pm so it was an early night. Noah and I spend the rest of the night playing Wii Fit. He is hilarious! He loves the push ups. It's a little hard for him to have to wait till Mom's done with her time schedule but he's learning. Sunday, Ben was letting me sleep in. It was a little hard with Bryce coming in the room "mommy, mommy" in a quite soft whisper. The boys and I spent the morning cleaning. Is it child labor if your 4 year old cleans the bathroom? Weird but Noah loves to do it, so I run with it. Scrubbed all the floors, bathrooms, windows, floor boards we did the works. Then we started on laundry while we watched Dad pace back and forth waiting for his Fantasy Football Draft. He didn't want to start anything in fear of missing it. After the draft we headed outside for yard work and a good old fashion family water fight. It ended with Dad, Mom and boys in the pool. It was fun.

Tomorrow we are having a BBQ with neighbors. Ben is smoking some chicken and the kids will no doubt be running around. They are all hoping its nice enough to play in the water. We will see.

I have pictures from the Museum to post later. Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!!

Wednesday, Wednesday

What a late start we are getting. The boys seem to be very very lazy this morning. Bryce didn't even wake up till 915ish. They are currently sitting down having breakfast. And seriously when are these boys going to stop eating so much? Noah is on his 6th waffle and Bryce is working on #4. And they also had 1 yogurt a piece while waiting for waffles. They were dying from hunger, says Noah. And I can't keep milk in my house to save my life. Just this pay period we have already gone threw 4 gallons and I need to go get another today. That's just crazy!!

Construction next door is still banging away. HEADACHE! And the weather is getting cold. The last 2 mornings I have been freezing. I know I wanted the cold weather but its just a little too cold. I have a feeling its going to be a long winter.

Ben is getting ready to leave us for 4 days. He has to fly to Washington for a Surfman meeting. Yep one 8 hour meeting and 2 days of travel. Who would have thought I would be jealous that he gets to go to Ilwaco. If you would have told me that 4 years ago I would have died laughing. But now its true. Plus he gets to see Becky and Levi. Okay enough of that.

When Ben gets home today we are heading to check out what I think will be Noah's new Preschool. Wish us luck. I'm happy with it, it just all depends on what Dad thinks. School starts next Wednesday and I start work Tuesday. Ben will be home later that week. So I'm hoping/praying that things get busy around here. The preschool is really big on parent involvement and they do lots of activities and holiday things in town. So I'm super happy for that. And maybe, just maybe after that we might head over to Michaels. The boys and I went the other day. And they have rows and rows of Halloween stuff. YIPEE!!

Only a few more weeks till Grandma comes!!! We are getting really excited for that. Then a few more months till our big football game! Then a few weeks till I get to told baby Madison again!!!!!!!!

Well I think I have rambled enough. They boys are done will breakfast. Off to clean up, ride the bike then maybe hit the park or something fun for the boys. Oh yeah we need milk.

Have a great Hump Day!!!!!

Ultimate Fan Helmet

By now everyone knows about the Pats/Steelers game we are going to in November. Well every time we talk about this game, either with each other or with Erik or Shae excitement fills us. Like just now talking about it I want to jump up and down. We have been saying some pretty funny stuff that we are going to do for the game. Well not Shae cause she is and Eagles fan and wouldn't be caught dead in Pats or Steelers stuff. Ben and I game across these Ultimate Fan Helmets (Thanks Mom aka Lu) We are not sure if Ben's head is going to fit so we just got one for now. How much fun is this going to be. Can you just see Ben sporting this! We are going to have so much fun. Bring on November!!!!

Hey Shae is this one Erik already has?
