Talking

So M has been on the phone with Aunt E for like an hour I think now. His 1000 words to her 100 are cracking me up.  He is such a talker and full of things to talk about. He has talked about mommy and her acupuncture, the spiders in our house, his autographed baseball from Chipper Jones, him playing basketballl and all his trophies, him watching the Heat play baskeball last season and many other numerous topics that are making me grin. (although I didnt even get to hear half of it since I was bathing B and getting him to bed ) Glad I don't do anything I need to hide from people since he'd probably tell them all about it.  :  )  But I am so glad that they got to bond tonight on the phone.  My cell died while they were talking and he told me to text her and tell her, "Call me later, I miss you and I love you. Enjoyed talking to you." Is it just me or is that pretty mature for his age?  :  )

Week update

I went on B's field trip with him today.  Then we had piano lessons and baseball practice.  Now sitting down to eat dinner at 745!  Got my carpets cleaned yesterday so happy about that and saw the acupuncturist so am feeling much better then I did the beginning of the week.

Our Monday

M got to wear his cub scout uniform to a meeting for the first time tonight. He looked so handsome.  And B's team won their game.  B got his first GRANDSLAM in a game.  Sweet hit to center.  Then M and I went and had dinner at Fazoli's while B and his Dad watched the game that was after his.

Sunday

I have done laundry all day except for a trip to Walmart and a 30min basketball shootout with B.  I have even managed to get the fall clothes washed and put away.  Of course now it will probably be 90degrees!  B  and his dad watched the Titans game and boy was it a good one. I finally sat down to watch the last 9minutes or so and it went into overtime wow.  Glad we pulled it out.  B is so fun to watch sports with. He's high fiveing and jumping up and down.  I beat him at basketball but barely. He's so sports talented.  It was a gorgeous day today too.  The boys are getting so big. I had to have them try on clothes to see what fit and what didnt.  Time just flies to fast.  Last night Aunt M started sewing the patches onto M's cubscout uniform and B finished it tonight. Wow, that was a big job for them and I am very appreciative they could do it. My plan was to use the glue the Cub Scouts sold me but they did it so it looks really  nice.  I will get a pic of him in it tomorrow.  The one that B took of him today was M with a messy hair do haha.  I will make him brush it tomorrow!  Cutie pie.

Handsome

Love this pic of my sweetie.  Enjoyed going on his field trip to the cave yesterday.  Love how he leans on me and hugs on me when we are standing there waiting for the leader to stop talking.  So handsome.

Life is Never boring

Some days the kids and I run so much that at the end of the day I just feel wiped out.  Of course my kids keep running . I wish I could bottle their energy.  Today I spent the day with M at his field trip at a cave that was an hour and a half away.  Then on the way home, B reminded me that M had piano lessons.  Luckily he reminded me.  Then we ran straight to the bank and to Subway so we could fit dinner in before running to baseball practice.  Now the kids and their Dad are at the grandparents house and I am so tuckered out that the thought of cleaning the house just makes me more tired.  10 loads of laundry to do, no milk in the house and I just want to go to bed haha.  So I am going to type this and put my Super Mommy pants on and off I go to tackle the house.  Atleast life is never boring!  :  )

The days updates

After school I took the boys to get M his 1st official cub scout shirt and patches etc. and then I took them  to the ball park so they could practice on the dirt field.  Then they wanted to play at the playground.  On the way home we got some barbecue thru the drivethru to bring home for dinner (their Dads request).  M practiced piano and did his homework while I helped B do his. Lucky me, I had a wonderful lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in probably a year and then dinner with a longtime friend.  Coincidentally they both fell the same day!  I feel blessed to have gotten to go spend time with them both today! Tomorrow I go on M's fieldtrip with him.

Buddies

I love this picture of B.  These cuties are the #1, #2 and cleanup hitters on the team.  1st base, shortstop and pitcher.  But most importantly they are buddies.

Monday

Yesterday we had a great family day. B had one tournament game which they lost so him and I headed over to see Nanoo.  Then we went home with their Dad got back in town from the UT game.  I dropped B off to spend time with his Dad and went to grocery and then picked M up.  Their Dad made hamburgers and we laid on the couch and cuddled with B. He's been such a sweetie saying he loves us and wanting to cuddle.  Today M had boyscouts and got his new glasses.  His face had grown so his old glasses were so small on his face. he looks so handsome in these new glasses .  Now putting them to bed.

Blessings

Laying in bed tonight with my sleeping 6yr old while my older one was in the bathroom taking a bath and talking and the hubby was sleeping on the couch, I heard an ambulance go by.  It made me think of my blessings I have.  Thank you God for them.

Bday party

My son is going to think I am the best mom in the whole world when he finds out i just bought him a video game birthday party. The truck comes to your house and he can invite 19 kids.  The kids have their video game party inside the truck that sits in front of your house. It was half off so I bought it. He will jump up and down. I am almost tempted to call him at his Grandparents to tell him. I am excited for him! And I am excited that now i wont have a bunch of kids in my house!

Update

Hubby was out of town visiting his Grandad and Mom and stepdad so he took my computer and I am now able to blog.  So to update on the week.....the boys have had a great week at school.  B has gotten stars and M has gotten all A's on his progress report.  Baseball practice tonight, went to the library and scrapbooked yesterday. The boys and I watched the Bears game together till half time and they had to go to bed.  Wed. I took them to trade in their games at Gamestop and we had dinner.  We were going to church and my back couldnt take anymore after working all day so we ended up coming home so I could lay flat down but I think they ended up loving the fact they got to play their new games they got.  They took good care of their Mommy till bedtime.  Lots of hugs.  Today I went to bible class with my ladies class and then cleaned ALL day long. But my house smells great. I love fall and got all the fall stuff out and lit a pumpkin spice candle. Fall just makes me happy.

Bored? Not me....

Some days I feel like I run so much that I have high blood pressure. Luckily my dr says no haha.  Cleaned house, helped at school, Walmart and kids eye dr, drive thru for dinner (even though I had chicken in the crockpot but no time to get home and eat it!) and then baseball, laundry, baths and bed.  Now its 821 and I am sitting down to read with B .  But love my crazy busy life.  I'd be bored otherwise.

Dugout Mom

Crazy busy day.  Work, Walmart, pick up kids, grocery, cook dinner, baseball and then cubscouts. Working in the dugout at B's games gives me high blood pressure sometimes.  The kids distract my brain (which probably doesnt take much haha) asking me to open waters, find their hat, asking me when they hit, telling me someone took their seat etc....while I am trying to keep up with how many outs we have, who's up to bat, who has a bat in their hand when they shouldn't, tell kids to sit down, pick up the bats on the field, talk to parents asking questions, get the catcher gear on , etc.  I never realized how much a dugout mom does during a game for a 5/6 yr old.  It gets easier as they get older since the kids learn what to do but a bunch of 5yr olds ask alot of questions and run around a dugout and take bats and try to bat when its not their turn.  Makes me laugh thinking about it.  Sometimes I think i should sit on the bleachers and let someone else do it.  But I do it because I love to have the bond with the kids.I love to think how hopefully we are planting seeds with these kids. Teaching them to love baseball.  Giving them confidence.  I love to think about how B will remember his mom and dad helping with his teams.  I love to high five the kids and them know my name and them tell me how they did at school and see how much better they get as the season goes on.  I do it because I am right there when B comes in from a homerun he hit and there to high five him when he throws himself at the base to get an out.  I do it for the memories.  And to help make my hubbys life easier coaching haha.

Travel Ball end of season party

So tonight we had B's travel ball-end of season party.  He got an awesome looking travel ball team jersey as a gift from the team.  $70 so should be awesome but the team bought it so think that is awesome the kids all got this to wear in the future.  We will have his state championship patch sewed on to it too.  He also got a plaque that shows the team and all of their tournaments they won .  Then we ate hamburgers and hotdogs and played kickball and baseball with the kids against adults. The boys had a blast.

Saturday

Hubby needs to buy a new computer since he keeps stealing mine so I am not on it half as much as I normally would. (which may be good?)  So today we went to B's baseball game. He had a homerun, and two doubles.  He got about 6outs again at 1st but they lost by a fluke by 1 point.  Then the boys and I went and made pizzas for dinner at this neat restaurant with friends and then went to the new park.  The boys had fun with their friend running around the new park.  Then we came home and put the kids to bed. B went fishing with a buddy and i  watched General Hospital for 3hrs while he was gone.  :  )

Gifts from God

B won his first fall ball game tonight.  He got 6outs at first base, hit two home runs and had a double (only because he wouldve run over the kid on 3rd.)  Very proud of him and the rest of our team.  Then the boys went to their grandparents for the night and their Dad and I got to go have dinner at our fav mexican restaurant.  Then we ran back out to the ball park to watch a friends son win their game before coming home.  Sad I am not in Chicago for the wedding of my cousin and Jordyn but happy to have seen the game, had dinner with hubby and for the rest of the family things we will be doing this weekend. 5days of  baseball in the next 5days!

On a different note, I watched M practice piano last night and am so impressed with how he can move his fingers all around the keyboard and play such pretty music.  Each of my boys has such different talents and gifts from God.

Family pic

I took this pic on the way into the stadium of M with his Grandparents and Dad.  Thought it was sweet.

Best Braves game EVER

Had a wonderful trip to GA this weekend to see the inlaws.  They took us to the best Braves game /baseball game ever.  In the 8th inning we were losing and everyone was leaving.  In the 9th, Chipper Jones (the boys love him and he is retiring this year) got up to bat and B and I had just said how awesome would it be if he hit a homerun and won the game while the kids (B' s first game as a 6yr old and M's 2nd game but 1st with us) were there with us to share it.  And he hit it over the wall to win the game by 1 and we all jumped and screamed and it was heavenly.  What a great memory that I got to share with my family.

Family weekend

Got to Nanas last night . Had big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs.  Today the kids swam and then we had big steak sandwiches and the best leek and potato soup. (for those of you who know me, i know you are so impressed I liked anything that was green)  Tomorrow is our Braves game. We are having a great time visiting with Nana, GG , Aunt M and Grandad.  Time flies when you are having fun.
