I'm here

I blame my new phone. It is the reason I have not been a good blogger. I just look at Facebook, my email, and then go on with my crazy life. Today - I have the laptop on my lap, so I thought I'd share some pictures...

We took The Beatie to the Sacramento Railroad Museum on 'Black Friday' - It was crazy busy, but totally worth it. Here is The Beatie watching the lil train go around the track. I love his face.

The Beatie loved the train table. He just kept saying 'Choo choo' 'Choo choo' OVER AND OVER!

At Trader Joe's they have the cute grocery carts for kids. I had to stop and take a picture. (yes, they are wearing matching clothes. The Beastie is at the age of 'Monkey see, monkey do')

This is another too cute to pass up moment: The Beastie eating Hot n Sour soup. I posted this on Facebook, i know, but I was just shocked at how much he liked it.

...and what is going on right now?

The Creature just threw a ball at our Christmas tree and broke an ornament. I think that makes 4 broken bulbs between the boys, awesome.

My husband is so cute. I love that he is watching The Devil Wears Prada. I totally scored in the husband department.

Now the boys (including the husband) are playing a soccer video game.

I am so happy they are mine.

The Beastie turns 2!

fun -busy- weekend

On Friday The Creature had his 'feast' at school. They were nice enough to make a plate for The Beastie, too.

The Beastie turned 2 on Friday (woo hoo!), we had dinner @ grammie's house.
This is his 'cheeeeese':

On Saturday we had 1.) The Creature's soccer game, 2.) his soccer party & then 3.) The Beastie's birthday party.

(The end of the season soccer party was at Leatherby's - we HAD to get some ice cream...)

We had so much fun at The Beatie's birthday party. Fun friends and family, and Yummy food! I took all of these pictures on my new phone, but I forgot to get it out when he was opening pressents. After his party we played games and hung out with family. (my boys have SO MANY UNLCES) Here is The Beatie opening Aunt Mel/Uncle Jordan's gift (after the party):

Sunday: Thankgiving dinner @ Grammie & Bampa's w/ The fam. (I forgot to take pictures) ONE Thanksgiving down, ONE to go.

the rock in my life - the hubs
my best friend

Grrrrr

I am bitter.

I can't find any of my cables to show off how cute my boys were on Halloween.

That is #1, let's see how many thing I can complain about...

#2, The fam is suffering from some stomach bug. Sad.
#3, My job (yes, the part time one) sucks right now. AND it made me late picking up The Creature from school. I called the school and gave them a heads up, but I still felt like a horrible mom.
#4, Money? Who has it? No one, so I need to shut up.
#5, >:( The Beastie pulled the letter "u" off of this keyboard yesterday... typing is awkward right now.
#6, My house is messy. I try to get caught up, but there is just too much!
#7, I gave up chocolate like 4 months ago, because I thought it would help clear up my face... it did........ Until this month - I look like I am a Freshman in high school. Needless to say I had a bite of The Beastie's chocolate chip cookie this afternoon. (it can't get worse.)

ok I'll stop. Sorry, I just needed to vent. I will find my cables and post pictures.

Now I am watching Modern Family - I feel better (It is so funny!)

+/-

This whole post I will probably be complaining about The Creature. He just turned 5, is that the new age of a teenager? I mean ATTITUDE! I swear, he is a PMSn teenage girl. I know in this family a lot of our mood depends on our blood-sugar, not that we are diabetic, we just get crabby if there is no food in the tummy. The Creature may not live to see 6, I'm a little worried. BUT BUT BUT - he is being such a good boy at school. His teacher has given him super blue twice (you get to pick a toy out of the treasure chest if you are really really good.) He has never had a yellow or red (for the bad kids) Like any parent I am so glad he is being a good boy at school. You would much rather a kid that is good at school / brat at home, then the other way around, but I just don't know what to do with him.

The Creature can be very sweet, just like any kid. We had a lot of fun last weekend making Mickey Mouse pancakes:

OH The Beastie - I'm worried I wont make it to 29.

He just spilt all the water out of his humidifier.

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

SSSskateboarding... SSSschool... SSSsoccer

I just looked over at The Beastie and he is trying to skate board on the block holder from IKEA. What am I going to do with him?!?!?? He is not even two yet!

(<-IKEA block holder)

I am so bummed: I can't find the cable for my camera to dump 1st Day of School pictures onto the computer. Luckily I took pictures on my phone...

The Creature LOVES Kindergarten. He only has positive things to say about school.

I also didn't take pictures of his first soccer game. My in-laws brought their camera, so I just need to get a copy from them. I wouldn't have had time take a picture anyway... I yelled the whole time. (I am such a soccer mom) Not bad yelling, I was just so excited for the team, and I know all the kid's names, so I became this obnoxious mom. The Creature had a grin from ear to ear the whole game. The Hubs is such a good coach. We tied with the other team, but he said, 'I don't are what the score is, I just wanted the kids to have fun.'

it's like pheobe realizing she DOES want that Volvo

I am SO PMSn. The Hubs keeps asking what's wrong, but really, it's nothing, it's everything... Obviously I am just PMSing.

I feel like I got a lot done today, which is good, but there is nothing to show for it.

I have to get use to: Monday = soccer practice, Tuesday = mutual, Wednesday = soccer practice, thurs, fri... etc. I know everyone has crazy schedules too, I just needed to whine.

It's hit'n me hard...

I am a soccer mom now, aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
