Out Of Control!

The kid's were watching a Sponge Bob video, and Bob was really tired and seeing everyone as a Crabby Patty. LOL, but at one point, when there was Crabby Patty's everywhere, Dylan said "Mom! They are Out Of Control!!"
Man they crack me up.
I'll have to put a pic up, but we got a new blow up pool for the back yard. The kid's have been having so much fun in it. It's Been SO HOT. I'm really going to get in there with them one day soon.
Our neighbor, Jennifer, and her little boy, Ryan, came over to swim with them today. We had a lot of fun. The kids all got cranky, and we had to cut it short though, so we'll have to do it again one day soon.
Abbey started her dance class tonight BUT, when we got there, the instructor "wasn't feeling well" so we paid for our six week class, then did nothing. I wasn't too pleased. Oh well. Abbey and I went for Ice cream instead. The boys were very upset that they don't get to dance yet. But I told them they have to start wearing underpants like big boys ALL of the time, not just sometimes before they can dance. So, maybe that will be an incentive to start wearing undies all the time like Big BOYS.......However, Abbey and Dylan both say that they don't want to be big, EVER........They want to stay little and stay home. aaawwww. Trevor however, wants to be BIG BIG BIG...heehee

Who Made This???

Before I get to the meaning of the title, I'll tell you a little about our day. It was SO stinkin hot out today, we really didn't feel like doing much. At one point, before nap, the trio decided to all be "jungle boys" and "jungle girl" and run around the house in their underwear yelling and jumping and climbing. ha ha
Then we took the show out to the back yard, for some "sprinkler action" and mommy even got in with them. Eventually, daddy even joined us! We had a ton of fun, and took some great pictures!!
Tonight we had movie night at church. The kids and I went over. Now, I must say, that Brenda M and I have been working on getting a garage sale together, so our newly cleaned garage, looks very cluttered right now. On our way out the back door through the garage, Dylan stopped on the steps and said in a shocked voice "Mommy!! Who DID this MESS????" I about fell over laughing. and he said "Clean it UP!" He cracks me up.
Tonight was another Aaaaawwww moment with Trevor. I had already prayed with both boys, and they decided they needed to try to go potty, and then back to bed again. I was really ready for some quiet time. Daddy was getting ready to read, so I was leaving the room, to go pray with Abbey and tuck her in too. As I was shutting the boys' door, Trevor said "mom, Wait!" I said "what Trevor" thinking, 'come on,not the potty again." and he said "I love you mom."
aaawwwww
Now to the title. When we were leaving the fellowship hall after the movie tonight, I heard Abbey ask me something but really didn't pay much attention at first. When I asked her what, and turned to look at her, she was standing there intently admiring a beautiful rose bush beside the building, and she asked me with awe and wonder in her voice, "Mom, who made this?"
After I caught my breath, I told her "God did honey." She gave me a look like 'well, He did a good job.' Oh, my, these babies God has given me. Could I be any more blessed???? I really don't think so :)

Meeting With Heather

Today we went to meet Heather, Gavin, Garrett and Claire in Lima. It was a good time. H and I didn't really get to talk too much, with all the kids, but it was good to get together. We decided to leave the kids at home next time, so we can just meet the two of us. The kid's all had fun together, and we drew lots of attention. LOL
I was SO proud of Abbey on the way home. She doesn't like to go in potty's that aren't "our potty's" so she wouldn't go when we were out. However, on the way home on the expressway, she screamed because she was about to go in her pants. So, I pulled way off the road, and got out the little portable potty I just bought at the store last week ( best investment in a long long time) opened the front and back passenger side doors. and put her on the potty. She told me to Leave!! so I went over by the boys and talked while she pooped and peed. Now, I'm SO proud, cuz she has this habit of saying she has to go, then if she doesn't like WHERE she has to go, she won't go, and then ends up peeing her pants. But she was just as comfy as can be going on the side of the road on that little potty. I was so proud.
Anyway, when we got home, we tried to find some fire-flys. We saw a bunch of them along side the road on the way home, but not many in our yard or the church yard. They were so cute. Whispering, and Dylan carrying the cup while we all looked around in the dark...I promised that tomorrow we'd take a walk and go look again.
OH, and one more thing. Earlier today, I had them take a little nap before we went to meet Heather and the kids. They had just each had a drink after playing outside,and Abbey said her "belly was full, and sick" so I told her "well, you need to lay down and take a nap, and it will feel better." So, she went in to take a nap, and then told me she wanted Trevor to give her a kiss. So, he came in and kissed her, and then he rubbed her hair, and said "it's ok, you just lay down, you'll feel better. It's ok" It was so cute. He's become such a little caretaker lately. He's always watching out for me and his brother and sister anymore. It's so cute. I guess all his hospital experiences have "growed him up" a bit maybe. :(

Swimming!!

Hey, we finally went to the "Kitty Cat Pool" LOL aka the Kiddie Pool.
They had a blast!! Sarah was with us, and her and a friend took the boys into the big pool a little bit too. But they had a great time in the kiddie pool.
At one point, the boys were having a good ole time making their swim trunks get "puffy" in the water as they sat down in it.
Dylan shouted out, "Mom, my butt's gettin big!" HA HA
Me and another lady there with her little boy, started laughing. I said "well honey, mommy has that problem too, but it has nothing to do with the swimming pool water!"

"Daddy will take care of You!"

I'm feeling pretty crappy today. My friends Brenda and Alissa came today, to help get my garage sale stuff together, and clean the basement. I thought maybe I was hungry, and too hot or something. I just felt yucky, and really shakey, so we went downtown to get something to eat.
Well, the restaraunt was cool, in more ways than one. Couzins now has a play area in the back for kids. So the kids really enjoyed it. But lunch didn't seem to help me any. I couldn't finish it. I just felt like Pukeing. So, we went to the car, and of course, they didn't want to go home yet, they wanted to play somewhere. I told them "you guys, mommy feels really yucky, and needs to go home and take a nap or something. Ok?" Trevor said "ok mom. Mom?" "yes, honey" I said"
Trevor said "Daddy will take care of you mommy. Let's go home"
aaaawwwww.....My sweet sweet boy.

One A Day

No matter how many times I repeat the word "vitamin," every day, Trevor asks for his "bitavin" LOL.
Well, at least he likes them, right? Abbey refuses to take hers. Any ideas? It's the chewable kind.

Having Freinds

Today, the trio had some friends come and play. Luke Zachrich from church, and his cousin Zoe. They were all excited, but we had a few probs with sharing. They are so used to having each other, and knowing who plays with what and so on, that it was hard for them to share with another almost 4 year old. They did pretty well when my friend Lynn and her kids were here, but maybe because the "almost 4 year old" in that set of kids is a girl, maybe made a difference?? I dunno. Anyway, it was good for them regardless. Hopefully Luke and Zoe can come over one day next week again and play. They are looking forward to their birthday. That's all they're talking about right now. It should be a fun one!
