Honestly!

Honestly, how is this my child? If only I could go out to the pool for 90 minutes and come back looking like this!

Can I Get Some Sleep Please!

My children have always been early risers, always. I wouldn't know what to do if one of my children slept until 9am. The last few days have actually been quite busy. Monday we did a bunch of running around, Tuesday we spent the entire day at SeaWorld, Wednesday we spent the morning and afternoon at the beach, yesterday we went swimming. You think this would make them all tuckered out and sleep longer. Well, not the case here! They have all been up before 7:00 every morning. And we're not talking like 6:50 either! This morning Greyson woke up crying at 5:06 followed by Coleson minutes later followed by Devan about 10 minutes later. And its not like they wake up and just go upstairs and watch TV, no, they fight, they whine, they cry, they get into EVERYTHING in the kitchen (Coleson) and are just plain wide awake and cranky. So guess who else is not wide awake but extremely cranky?? I am already counting down the hours until bedtime!

Summer, where are you?

Devan has been learning all about seasons throughout the year in preschool. Needless to say he is quite excited for summer to finally be here. Early last week we had some nice warm days, even spent an afternoon at the beach! Then all the sudden it turned cloudy and gray, and little sunshine is to be found before noon. We keep waking up hoping it will be warm enough to swim but I'm just too much of a chicken to get in the water if its not at least 75 degrees outside! Devan's preschool program goes through June so he still has school three days a week. This was our conversation this morning:
Mom: Devan, go change into your pants its too cold outside for shorts.
Devan: But mom, its summer I don't want to wear pants!
Mom: You will be too cold at school. Look out side, there is no sun.
Devan: But mom, its summer! I don't go to school in summer! I don't have school today!
I thought that was pretty cute. He is satisfied to go to three more weeks of school only because upon completion, he starts swim lessons the next week! Sun or no sun I think we will still go to Sea World tomorrow.

Family Pictures

When we were at my parents house they had a photographer come and take our family pictures (it was a really bad hair day for me). Here are a couple we got off the computer. I'll post more later as there were many more that were taken...

Benched

So I've had this problem with my foot lately, or a while actually. I just figured it was a broken toe and what can you possibly do for a broken toe? Not much. So I put off seeing the doctor because in my mind I thought it to be pointless and dragging three children to the doctors is usually a nightmare come true. A few weeks ago I decided to make an appointment since I've been having this problem oh, since late January. How did nearly five months if this go by so fast? I have not a clue. It just gives you an idea of how busy and crazy my days really are. The first doctor took some x-rays and said my toe wasn't broken and never has been. His guess was that there was a cyst on my vein or joint and then sent me to a podiatrist. A few days later (and a whole lot of pain) I got in to see that doctor, had more x-rays and again was told it is not broken and never has been. So what is the problem? They are not sure. Their best guess it that it is a torn or severely stretched ligament. SO, now I have this gorgeous "shoe" to wear for four weeks and I am not allowed to do any jazzercise. Not being able to do jazzercise is worse than wearing my unfashionable shoe! So Trish I hope you sent me back my Yoga-Booty-Ballet yesterday, as you promised!

I Stink, I know

So yes, we have been back now for over a week and I still haven't updated much. But I promise I will tell you all about my trip. That is when I get the urge to, like I don't feel too lazy to type, etc. Recently I went through all the photos on our computer so for now here are some fun pics for you to see: yeeeah, ok nevermind. All those pictures are on our other computer which is not here at the moment. Ok so you'll just have to keep checking in!

I am once again editing this post... I found the pics in a folder so here's to my luck in uploading them on here! Can you tell which child is which on some of these?

Out of town...

Alright, I am finally here to update my blog. To hear about my weekend just go and read Trish's blog. She summed it up pretty good. But honestly, I am not sure why she had to post so many pictures of me and honestly, yes honestly, I have gained about 10 pounds since I got here. That is what a three week vacation with no jazzercise will do to you. Once I return home I am sure that I will have lots of stories to update you with and lots of weight to lose! For the next few days we will be spending lots of time with Anthony- he is having too much fun with his nephues for us to leave now. Hope everyone is having a great week- it just keeps getting hotter and hotter here and these are the days I wish I was near a beach and without a gazillion mosquitoes!
