It's been such a long time since I've blogged, you were all probably thinking I had given up on the whole blogging thing, but no such luck--yall will have to continue reading about all the cute things my babies do and sadly, without pictures! I'm trying to work on getting some pics, maybe this weekend I'll borrow a camera for purposes of blogging!
So anyway, down to business! Gosh there's been so much that I don't even know where to start! Well, Requay is repeating most everything that we tell her too now, I'll tell her, "tell Daddy good-night" and she'll say "nite-nite" and then I'll tell her "tell Daddy I love you" and she'll say "uv u" and usually when you ask her to repeat something she gets her point across! She's so cute trying to talk and all! She's also gotten into this little thing about putting on extra clothes or shoes, the other night she had her PJ's on and then proceeded to put on a pair of Jonah's little undies. The only problem was, not just that she had them on over her PJ's, but that she had both legs in one leg hole of Jonah's undies! She could barely walk!! It was funny! She'll also put on shoes, hers, Jonah's, mine, Jason's, whoever's shoes are there! So sometimes, she'll walk up to you in Jonah's spider-man shoes or my slip on sandals like there's nothing going on and like she's saying, "hey, what's up?" It's especially funny to watch her attempt to walk in shoes that do not fit her little feet........
[ I started blogging all of this Friday morning and then about 7:40am, the daycare called me and told me that Baby Girl had gotten hurt and had gone unconscious and that they had called EMS. Well, that's all I heard and told them that I'd be on my way, so I just took off without looking back or without finishing my blog! So, I'll finish the fun part of the blogging another time and let you know about Requay.]
So, the daycare called and off I went, I called Jason on my way (oh I also called my manager to tell him that I had just left and hadn't told anyone except my best neighbor, Nita) so I told Jason that I was on my way to the daycare because Baby Sister had fallen and EMS was there, well, as I was talking to Jason the EMS driver beeped in (my cell has call waiting--isn't that cool!) and told me that Requay had been loaded into the ambulance and they were on their way to the new children's hospital and to meet them there. They said that Baby Girl was doing fine and that I could call as many times as I wanted until I saw her. So I called Jason and told him to meet us at the hospital. I was frantic and worried because even though the EMS driver told me that she was fine, I still needed to see for myself and wanted to be there with her!
Well, Jason and I must have driven like maniacs because we got there before the ambulance.....of course, we were closer to the hospital than the ambulance and we drive faster than the ambulance driver (hee hee), so we waited for the ambulance to arrive at the hospital. When the ambulance got to the hospital, I got to hold my scared little baby! She seemed ok but just a little shaken up not knowing who these EMS people were or why she was not at school. The doctors looked her over and they ran a cat scan on her cute little head to make sure there was no bleeding. Everything came back fine and we were released from the hospital a little before lunch. Whew.....what a relief!
Oh, so what exactly happened to Baby Sister that caused us to miss work and make a trip to the hospital? Well, apparently another little girl, Elizabeth according to Jonah, pushed Requay off of a chair and Requay fell back hitting her head on the tile floor and that caused her to go unconscious! Jason and I have both talked to the director since this happened, and we understand that accidents happen; however, this little girl was asked to not return to the daycare, so apparently, this little incident wasn't the first!
Requay is doing fine now, she did have a little knot and bruise on her forehead but it's long gone now, but we went home after the whole hospital ordeal and her and I rested the afternoon away! We were "desausted!"

The Man of the House
It's Saturday afternoon and it has been an eventful day! The kids and I met Jason at my kickball game this afternoon--Jason is on call this weekend and had 3 service calls before breakfast already! My game was at 1:30pm and it was freaky HOT!! We didn't win, but we did much better than we had....we improve at each game! Oh and I made a double header? No, well I'm not too sure what they call it, but I caught the ball and made 2 outs!! I didn't even realize what I had done until someone told me.....I'm still learning the game! It was apparently a good play.....Good Defense "Sassy Sapphires!"
After the game, we headed home and Jason headed for more service calls. Jason told Jonah to be good and to listen to his Mommy because he was going to be "the man of the house." Well, Jonah then said, "That means I get to watch whatever I want to and hold the remote because I'm the man of the house!" I started laughing and just went with it.....it was too cute to tell him otherwise. As for Baby Girl, she was asleep before we even made it around the block! She was "DESAUSTED!"
We don't have too big of plans for the rest of the weekend, church and nursery (I volunteered to help out in the nursery at church this Sunday.) But luckily, I can take the kiddos with me in case Jason gets a service call. Well, until later........blog at'cha later!

Why Can't we Be Friends?
Well it's already Friday and I'm just now getting to blog.....Man the week just flew by!
There were a couple of things I wanted to let you know about the kids and what they did.....so here goes. On Monday, the kids and I were at home so I proceeded to paint my nails. Well, Baby Girl saw me doing that and she plopped her little self down next to me with her little feet out in front of her..... she was obviously asking for a pedicure, in her own little way! So after I finished with the first coat on my nails, I painted Baby Girl's little toes....it didn't take much nail polish cause her little toesies are so tiny. I painted them and then told her to blow on them to help them dry.... well, she did in fact blow on them, but as she was blowing, she was touching her little toes to her little mouth and spitting as she was blowing! (Not exactly the kind of pedicure you'd pay money for!) So, now there was a little less paint on her little toes and little more paint on her little mouth and of course a little spit all over her hands, feet, legs and face! It was too cute!! So I'm thinking she may be a little girly girl.....we'll see!
And as for Jonah, well, the other night at dinner I told him that I had a song in my head that wouldn't go away and told him it was that song from the "Bridge to Terabithia" that goes "Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Blah blah blah blah blah blah......" ok so I don't know the whole song but Jonah knew exactly what song I was talking about and immediately started to talk about the time when we were at Baby Katy's 2nd birthday party! (Any time I mention that song, he tells me in detail about this!) He says, "Member that time when we were at Baby Katy's and we were in the pool and we were singing that song and then I threw that red ball to you and it went over your head and you didn't catch it...Member that Mommy, that was funny!" As if I could remember the color of the ball we were throwing 2 months ago!! I guess you could say that it was a birthday to remember!
I can remember the birthday, but I can't remember anything else my kiddos did that was cute, so I'm sure that there was absolutely nothing else this past week worth blogging about.........yeah right! Well, not that I could remember anyway, but I'll keep thinking and get back to bloggin' later! So until my brain freeze thaws.....happy reading and have a good weekend!

Sat and Sun
Hellooooo!! It's already Sunday....we had a JAM packed Saturday and the kids and I are just "furlaxing" (relaxing) as Jonah would put it!
Saturday:
We got up early because I had a kickball game at 9am (we did much better than our last game, but we still lost....oh well, we're getting better and better as the weeks go by!) Jason and the kids dropped me off for the game and they went to run some errands. After the game, we headed to run more errands and ate lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant (if you don't know which one I'm talking about then we must not have taken you there before...come visit and we will!) We rushed home and we out the door again heading to a "meeting" that Jason and I have signed up for (dealing with improvement and real estate.) The kids get to go too because they provide free childcare, so they played with the abundance of toys and didn't look back to even say good-bye! After the meeting, we came home, ate dinner, Jason and Jonah went to pick up a gate that Jason is putting out at his Mom's, and Baby Girl and I took a bath (well she took a bath, I gave the bath.) Baby Girl was pretty wiped out and about 8:00 or 8:15 she was more than ready for bed! When Jason and Jonah got back with their gate, I headed out to HEB for diapers and milk....and than to DQ for blizzards! Jason, Jonah and I ate our blizzards and watched "Cheaper by the Dozen" (I got it on sale for $1.96!) And no it doesn't have Queen Latifah in it.....JASON!! So about 10:30 we "hit the sack" and it didn't take any of us long to start in with the zzzzzzzz's!!
Sunday:
Jason and I were up early again this morning because Jason was heading out to his Mom's to put the gate in and I got up to be the good wife and make him breakfast! OK, so it was just one of those warm up in the microwave croissant sandwiches, but still, I sent him off with a "hot" meal! (And as per Jonah, "I warm up things good" Mom) I got a chance to "furlax" alone this morning (oh, so sweet!) The kids finally woke up around 9:00 (:o) and we got dressed for church! I had given Jonah some Benedryl before church because he had this rash thing going on and so by church time, he was ready for bed! He slept through the whole mass.....Baby Girl on the other hand, well let's just say that she was not "feeling God" at all---she was a MESS!! We came home, ate lunch and started on the house because it was a bigger MESS!!! (Still working on that one as I blog.)
Not much else going on.......so unless I think of something else the kids did that was worth blogging, or we head to the mailbox or the park, we're pretty much in for the day as well as done for the day! More bloggin' later......

TGIF
YIPPEE FOR FRIDAYS!!!
Another week done, the month of August is fixing to come to a close, school is fixing to start, it's less than a month from me and Jason's anniversary (I know, Dad, that's not proper English, but I didn't know how to word it or punctuate it--sorry), and before we know it, it will be Christmas again! Whew....where is this year going!!??
Well, I had kickball last night so Jason did the whole "parent" thing, and by that I mean, had to pick up the kids, feed the kids (although he did forget to feed Jonah, but in Jason's defense, Jonah said he wasn't hungry), bath the kids, and get the kids ready for bed. But he's so nice to me cause when I got home from kickball, he had just let them prune up like raisins in the tub so that I could bath them with soap and shampoo. Jason hurt his back at work sometime earlier this week and it hurts him to bend over to bath the kids.....so I got to spend some time with the kids before they had to go to bed! I was all excited because we got to talk about our days!
Jonah said that his day was not good because they didn't get to play in the water--it was raining--but he did say that they got to eat pizza and he ate a lot! (At least we're getting our money's worth!) Jonah is trying to understand numbers right now and when he starts describing something in numbers, it becomes a number like, (and this is exactly how he says it) "eight, one hundred, forty six thousand, sixty two" and this is like the number of slices of pizza he ate, or the distance to get to his Lito/Lita's house, or even the number of books he has....just anything he uses numbers with is like that! I don't know, but it's A LOT that's for sure!!
So I measured the kids the other night......oh my gosh, they are growing like cute little weeds in a hay field! Jonah measured 44 inches tall and Baby Girl measured 31 1/2 inches tall!!! My babies are getting big. :o(
Last night, since I have officially weaned Baby Girl from breastfeeding :o( she now just gets "rocked" to sleep. So I'll take her to her room, turn on her Winnie the Pooh that plays "Rock 'a' Bye Baby" and just hold her until she becomes so sleepy that she wants to be comfortable and put in her crib. She'll rub her little sleepy eyes and turn her little head back and forth on my shoulder and holds tightly on to me with her little hands patting my back.....I LOVE IT.....And I just pray that God never lets me forget moments like those!!!
Well, after my last "tentative weekend plan" blog in which nothing went like I'd blogged, I've decided not to tell anyone what our plans are for this weekend cause it's supposed to rain so our plans are kinda up in the air at this point. So until I get to blog again, I hope that every one's weekends are super fabulous!!

Stink Ray
Yippee! Already Thursday, which means one more day until the weekend!! I'm super tired because at 4:30 this morning (yes AM) Requay decided that it was a good time to wake up....but not only was it a good time to wake up, but it was also a good time to play! So I got up with her and she "read" some books. By the time we were on our way to school, she was doing the whole little head bob thing....poor baby was tired! And I left to go to work for my long 10 hour day! Glad it's almost over!!
Last night in the tub, Jonah was attempting to "teach" me how to say "sting ray" the fish....I was messing with him calling it a "stinK ray" and he would say "No Mommy, look at my lips, and say it after me.....'STING.....say it Mommy" so I would repeat after him and say "sting" and then he would say "good job Mommy, now can you say 'RAY?" And I would say something like "fray" or pray" or anything but "ray".......I'm sure he thinks his Mom can't say anything! He finally taught me how to correctly say it though and then he told me that I had done a good job! I felt pretty good about myself for saying it correctly.....wait, I think....what just happened, I KNOW how to speak! Gosh! :o)
Jonah was supposed to have swim day today at school and he had to take $2 for pizza! It rained this morning so I'm not sure if they went ahead and got to play in the water or not. And I have kickball practice this afternoon, if it's not raining that is, so I'll have to catch yall up tomorrow!
So to all my baby's fans.....keep 'a bloggin'!

The Best Day Ever!
I know that I just blogged, but I just had to blog on what Jonah told me when I went to pick the kids up at school this afternoon......
So everyday when I pick up the kids I ask the kids how their day was (you know normal Mom stuff) and usually they (and by "they" I mean Jonah since Baby Girl can't talk too much yet) Jonah says "Fine." So then I ask what they did, and Jonah says "Nothing." So I read somewhere that in order to get your kids to talk to you more, you should ask "What was the best part about your day?" instead of "how was your day?" So I started asking Jonah what the best part about his day was and usually he'll say something like "eating pizza" or "going outside" or something that he did that day, but today he said "when you came to pick us up Mommy!"
And so then we had to get gas, so we didn't run out again, and Jonah eagerly hopped out to "help" me! And next door, or at the pump next to us, was a car with its radio on loudly and kinda thumping and possibly vibrating with the sound of the music. I went to check on Baby Girl, and she was in her carseat, eating a chocolate chip cookie that had managed to somehow migrate to the rest of her face, and jumping the best she could while strapped into her carseat, dancing! Anytime she hears music, she starts doing this little bouncing up and down thing and smiles! She's gonna be our little dancer......she obviously takes after her Mommy! :o)
Ok, well better go and feed my kids.....so happy blog reading!

Cookies!
YIPPEE!!! Something funny happened last night and I actually remember it!!!
Last night I was making chocolate chip cookies cause my friend, Nita was flying out (cookies for her trip) and I told Jonah that the cookies weren't any good....just messing with him.....and I told him that I would probably have to throw all the cookies out! Well, Jonah told me....."Mommy, you can't throw them out, there's people that don't have food or drink in other places!" :o) Yes, that is true, so we had to eat the cookies!! He is SO freakin' smart that I really need to watch what I say! I know I've told him that before when he didn't want to eat.....he reminds me a lot of myself! (eek....look what I made!)
And as for Baby Sister, well she is just so loving that if you hug her, she'll hug you back and pat her little hands on your back.....SO SWEET!! She does that with her "babies" too....two little beanie baby piggies and a little angel bunny. And if they're asleep, she'll put her little finger to her lips and say "Shhhhh.....nite-nite" I just love giving her hugs and kisses! But she's a lot like her Daddy--she's pretty independent! She wants to do everything by herself--a while back she actually climbed INTO her crib!! And now in the mornings when I go to wake her up for school, she starts putting one little leg over the top of the crib side in an attempt to get out on her own. I don't think she realizes how far down that is for a little person like her! So I let her think that she's doing it herself and actually help her down.....that's being a good Mom!
Jonah has been into the movie "Crocodile Dundee" lately....I found it on sale for $1.96!! I HAD to get it!!! So he's been watching that movie before he goes to bed....no telling how many times we've seen the same parts over and over and over again. He'll rewind it to a part that he likes....and we'll have to watch it. At least it's a good movie and not like the Power Rangers, which Jason and I completely DO NOT BELIEVE! (I don't think it's based on ANYTHING true!)
Oh, also, last night, after I had made the cookies, Jonah asked to eat a cookie with some milk. So I got him a little glass of milk (that makes it healthy right?) and he started dipping his cookie into his milk. Well, Baby Sister tried to dip her cookie in her glass of milk too, the only problem was that her milk was in her sippy......with a lid.....that doesn't spill....so it was a bit more difficult for her to try and figure out how to dip her cookies. But don't worry, she figured that she would just dip her cookie in Jonah's milk! Mamo does say to share! :o)
Well, that's about it for today....(I should probably work a little too since I'm still on the clock--shhhhh) So "blog at'cha later!"
Last night I was making chocolate chip cookies cause my friend, Nita was flying out (cookies for her trip) and I told Jonah that the cookies weren't any good....just messing with him.....and I told him that I would probably have to throw all the cookies out! Well, Jonah told me....."Mommy, you can't throw them out, there's people that don't have food or drink in other places!" :o) Yes, that is true, so we had to eat the cookies!! He is SO freakin' smart that I really need to watch what I say! I know I've told him that before when he didn't want to eat.....he reminds me a lot of myself! (eek....look what I made!)

And now in the mornings when I go to wake her up for school, she starts putting one little leg over the top of the crib side in an attempt to get out on her own. I don't think she realizes how far down that is for a little person like her! So I let her think that she's doing it herself and actually help her down.....that's being a good Mom!
Jonah has been into the movie "Crocodile Dundee" lately....I found it on sale for $1.96!! I HAD to get it!!! So he's been watching that movie before he goes to bed....no telling how many times we've seen the same parts over and over and over again. He'll rewind it to a part that he likes....and we'll have to watch it. At least it's a good movie and not like the Power Rangers, which Jason and I completely DO NOT BELIEVE! (I don't think it's based on ANYTHING true!)
Oh, also, last night, after I had made the cookies, Jonah asked to eat a cookie with some milk. So I got him a little glass of milk (that makes it healthy right?) and he started dipping his cookie into his milk. Well, Baby Sister tried to dip her cookie in her glass of milk too, the only problem was that her milk was in her sippy......with a lid.....that doesn't spill....so it was a bit more difficult for her to try and figure out how to dip her cookies. But don't worry, she figured that she would just dip her cookie in Jonah's milk! Mamo does say to share! :o)
Well, that's about it for today....(I should probably work a little too since I'm still on the clock--shhhhh) So "blog at'cha later!"

Softball and Hot Wings!
Well, I meant to blog more Sunday evening, but I ended up taking a nap....so blogging didn't happen! I guess our Saturday just wiped us all out!
So let me back up to Saturday.....we all woke up early so that we could be at the airport to pick up Martin, we left for the airport and Jason left for service calls! We ended up circling the airport twice not because we were waiting for a plane to arrive or because our "passengers" were running late, but because I was supposed to be on the "lower level" instead of the "upper level"....who knew?! So we made the circle, I mean we went around again so that the kids could look at the planes coming and going!
After we picked Martin up, we headed to the softball tournament! The game had already started when we got there, but we didn't miss much! We got to hang out with Sara and Josh and watch Rubi play....man, those girls throw the ball fast, it looks like they know what they're doing and all! More power to them!!
During the game, the kids played in the dirt, picking up rocks and just getting dirty--good thing they're washable! It was a hot and humid day and we stayed for both of Rubi's games......Sara kept saying that it was a "pool" game, but I looked all over and never saw a pool anywhere, we didn't even bring our swim suits! :o) It was so nice to see Sara and Martin! And it was also nice having the help of our "nanny", Josh!! Requay still went with him anytime he asked....and she would go sit with him or eat with him (yeah we're family all right!)
After Rubi's second game, we headed back home....I drove and the kids snored! They were wiped out!! When we got home, we went over to Mr. Steven's house for hot wings! The kids played and played and played some more....and then were out as soon as we left Mr. Steven's neighborhood!
Whew....a long and busy Saturday! Guess that's why we slept in Sunday and then took a nap! We were "desausted" as Jonah would say! Well, I'd like to say that the kids did nothing else that was too cute not to blog, but then I'd be lying.....I just can't remember. (And this is why they say to blog daily!) So, I guess I'll say good-bye and good-night for now....until tomorrow!

Friday Night Lights
It's Sunday morning already and I haven't run, but I am blogging!
Let's see....so Friday night when I got home from work, Josh and Jonah were still at the house and apparently doing well! We were out of food, but that's ok because we can get more! Josh and Jonah played all day long.....I guess.....anytime I asked what they did, they would both respond with "Nothing." SO, all I have to blog on is what I actually saw.....
When Requay and I got home Friday night, Josh and Jonah went outside to play ball (baseball). Well, I don't think Josh knew that Jonah didn't know how to catch the ball because after a few minutes of playing "catch," Jonah was crying! Apparently Josh threw the ball and it hit Jonah in the face (he is so much like his Mommy). Jonah was fine.....so they decided to put that ball away and play with the kickball instead! That one doesn't hurt as bad if it hits you in the face (I know from experience.) After they played kickball for a while, they went to the park. Jonah rode his bike. I think Jonah liked having a "big brother".....you know a while back, he had asked that the next time we get a new baby, that we get him a "big brother".....Jason and I didn't really know how to respond to that!
Aunt Kimby dropped by on her way back thru and got to see Josh and the kids for a while. She did however get upset when Requay would, happily and without resistance, let Josh hold her, but she wouldn't let her Aunt Kimby hold her. I told Kimberly that maybe it was because Josh didn't smell like icky smoke! :o) After Aunt Kimby left we fed Josh again....Jason went to pick us up hamburgers from this little place that makes the good greasy kind! Poor Josh ate his in like 3 minutes--I knew he was hungry even though when I asked he would tell me "no ma'am". Such a respectful young man.....Good job Sara and Martin! (Oh and before I forget, Sara, I'm gonna need to borrow that book that tells you how to make them that respectful!)
Jonah slept with Josh again in the living room Friday night, but they were both watching their own movies on separate DVD's! Josh was watching "Varsity Blues" on the TV in the living room and Jonah was watching "Robots" on the little portable DVD in the living room with Josh! As long as Josh was in the room, Jonah was right there! I kept expecting Jonah to be dragging his little mat and pillow back into our room where he normally sleeps, but he didn't......he slept both nights away from his Mommy! :o(

All About Josh!
Well, we were planning on heading South because Dad is becoming an acolyte (the step before he officially becomes a deacon!) this weekend, but we had a change of plans. I'm pretty sure Jonah is completely fine with the changes though......
Jonah's godparents, Sara and Martin, planned to be down for a softball tournament that Rubi, their daughter, is playing in, BUT Josh, Rubi's big brother, son of Sara and Martin, and "hero" of Jonah, wasn't gonna be able to make the trip because Sara and Rubi were staying in a hotel with other Moms and daughters of the team! SO, I suggested to Sara that they bring Josh and he could come stay with us until Saturday.
We met Sara and Josh midway and Josh came home with us last night! Jonah and Josh were in the very back seat of the suburban having "guy time" on our way home! Jonah was non-stop talking the whole way home....not really sure if Josh was able to get a word in edgewise! Jonah was SO excited!!! When we got home, Jason, Jonah and Josh played PlayStation (Requay was just too wiped out to stay up with those silly boys playing games...so she went to bed. Well, that and the fact that she got a bit fussy..... we put her to bed.) So anyway, the "boys" were playing games and at one point Jonah came into our bedroom and "tattled" on his Dad--he told me "Daddy isn't letting me play with Josh". It was so funny hearing Jonah "tell" on his Daddy for taking his "Josh time" away! When it was time for bed, Josh and Jonah slept in the living room and the rest of us left the house at our usual time....leaving the sleeping boys in the living room! Snoring! Josh and Jonah stayed home today to "hang out" and play together!
(The day's almost over and I haven't even called to check up on the boys...I figured someone would have already called if something happened. Right?)
And Josh is just THE nicest teenager (not to mention handsome) that I've been around in a long time (not that I hang out with teenagers or anything). Josh didn't mind at all spending time "babysitting" a 4-year old! I just hope that some of Josh's good qualities rub off on Jonah! Think that may be an on-going prayer request!
TENTATIVE PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND:
Friday night: Hang out, Aunt Kimby may drop by and try to run a few miles
Saturday: Be at the airport to pick up Martin around 8 AMish, then drive everyone to where Rubi's games are and spend the day with Sara, Martin, and the girl's softball team!
Sunday: Run a few more miles, go to church and "VEG" for the remainder of the day
So until I get to blog again......Hope all my readers have a great weekend! :o)

Mommy!
I forgot, Requay started calling me "Mommy" instead of "Mamma" and she really puts the emphasis on the "Y" in Mommy and even sometimes will carry the "Y" out longer like "Maaaaammmmmyyyyyyy"....I'm a real Mom now, my babies call me Mommy!!! It's so cute when she calls me that....I absolutely love it! She'll sometimes walk around the house just hollering out at someone, either "Mamma" or "Mommy" (in the way she does by stretching it out) or "Da" or "Nonah" (Jonah) or "Bubba"......Requay has been calling Jonah "Bubba" which is her way of saying "Big Brother". :o)
Going Bananas!
I don't think I'm keeping up quite as well as I had hoped with blogging these days....my days seem to be filled with kickball, running, housework that seems to be never ending, house searching, taking care of kiddos, and attempting at the end of the day to spend a little time with my husband before we're just too exhausted to stay awake anymore....whew!
We had our first kickball game Saturday and lost big time....we're not really sure what we're doing and apparently the other team knew EXACTLY what they were doing! Oh well, we had fun, I got a good workout, and maybe we'll win the next game!? Jonah did get upset because he couldn't sit in the dugout with me during the game, but it was against the rules....he cried and I felt bad for him ;o( After the game we all headed out to Burnet to visit the in-laws....we played kickball there, got eaten by mosquitoes, barbecued, Jason got on his tractor and did some cutting of something in his field, and the kids got filthy dirty! We had a blast!! We totally vegged out on Sunday because we were so tired!
I took the kids to school on Monday because I had to get the oil changed in my truck and waiting in the waiting room for an hour or more with 2 impatient kiddos, is not much fun! So I "took one for the team" and went and sat in their waiting room by myself, alone, nobody bothering me, just me.....awwww.
When I went to pick up the kids, Requay's teacher told me that she had bumped her head on a shelf that she thought she was shorter than....she has this little bruise now on her forehead but she's fine. Requay's teacher also told me that Requay was playing with some "maracas"--Easter eggs filled with beans and then taped closed so they could rattle them and listen to them! The teacher said that Requay had all of them and then started putting them down her shirt, she was wearing a onesie, so they all stopped at the top of her shorts. Her teacher said that Requay looked like she had a bumpy little beer belly with all those eggs down her shirt! :o)
Jonah and I went to kickball practice Monday night and while I tried to catch and kick the ball, all while attempting not to fall or trip, Jonah was making friends with another little boy. They were playing in the dirt, climbing fences, running after balls that went over the fence (there was another field behind ours so he was fine), but all this came to a quick stop when Jonah busted his bottom lip on a metal bench near the field. He's fine, he was just bleeding a little bit and had to drink some blue Powerade to make it feel better!
When Jonah and I got home from our kickball practice, Jason informed me that we needed to eat the bananas that I had just gotten from the store earlier that day because Baby Sister had gotten into them. Jason said that Requay was found taking bites out of each banana (thru the peel) and had already demolished one that she was squishing thru her little fingers! So, if you come over anytime soon, and would like a banana, just keep in mind that they each, all of them, none missed, have little bite marks taken from each of them! :o)
Last night, my sister was passing thru town and stopped to see the kids...they were excited because their Aunt Kimby brought them movies and gifts! At about 10pm Baby Sister just couldn't stay awake anymore, this we can tell by the fussiness that escalates, so she had to say her good-byes to her Aunt Kimby and go to bed....baby was sleepy!!
Oh and I forgot to mention..... on Monday when I went to drop off the kids at school, Miss Nikki, a teacher at the school, was there and she asked me to put Requay in the table with the seats already built in so Requay could have some honey bun. Well, Requay, still cries when her Mommy drops her off, so of course she started crying and stretching her legs outward so that they both wouldn't fit in the chair at the same time. When we (and by we I mean Miss Nikki and I--it took both of us to wrestle her in that chair) got her in the chair and got her buckled in, Miss Nikki took a little of her honey bun and offered it to Requay.....Requay was crying as Miss Nikki was attempting to hand the piece of honey bun to her and Miss Nikki said, "Wow, that's not like Requay to turn down food".....She's her mother's daughter for sure!!
And then this morning when I dropped the kids off, Requay again started crying (It SO breaks my heart to see my babies cry and for me to have to leave them.....I HATE IT!!!) but anyway, Requay was crying and just stood there with her little hands covering her face, where she couldn't see at all. So dramatic!! Oh and just FYI, if she doesn't get her way, she pouts--her little bottom lip pops out as far as I think it will go and she'll sometimes push things in her way, out of her way! Little drama queen with a temper like her Daddy....love you Babe!
Better get to doing something other than blogging, so write more later.........

So Sorry.....
So sorry it's taken me this long to blog anything--I think my "plate is full". I started kickball practice this week so that's keeping me busy since I don't really know anything about kickball! So I'm doing kickball, still training for the half-marathon, we're still looking for a house, and just staying busy with the kids and the housework! Whew......
So, let's see, where to begin....well, this past weekend, my parents came to stay with the kids while Jason and I were able to get a much needed weekend "off"! The kids had a blast, but for some reason, when we got back, Lito and Lita looked like they needed "off" too and the kids were a little more difficult to handle....wonder what's up with that! :o) I think despite the fact that everyone was tired, they still had a good weekend! Anytime with Lito/Lita is fun for the kids! And apparently, as per Mom, Requay was fine, no crying, no whining, nothing, until her Mommy came home and then she didn't want her Lita AT ALL! She's a Mamma's Girl, what can I say. She loves her Mommy! And so far, as of today, we are on day 3 of no more "mo"! I still feel sad and I know she wants it, but it's for the best....I need a break! But with all the weaning going on, it's giving her a chance to bond with her Daddy! Jason has to put her to sleep at night because she will want "mo" from me. :o(
Well, like I said, SO SORRY that I haven't written in a while and now I can't even remember what cute things the kids have done.....wait, maybe they haven't done anything cute or even said anything cute.....whatever, I know I have cute kids and I'm sure they've done SOMETHING CUTE! I'll think on it and blog more when I can remember! Ta-Ta for now......
