Siblings

My boys have been fighting so much lately. I am now starting to realize that everything is a darn competition between them. If they are not fighting they are competing to see who is better and whatever it may be. I wish I could say that I was not that way with my brother and sister but I AM. haha

Who can hula the best........me of course

Nothing like a friendly race

or a not so friendly game of football............with no ball

No ball because the bratty little sister stole it because she is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better at football

Oh and they get along sometimes when they are plotting against their sister

Its all fun and games until someone's feelings get hurt (thats when mom gets mad)

Speaking of siblings, my sis and I at her 80's themed party. I look better don't I...........................kidding She rocked her outfit for sure!

Two days!

Two days left until we are in the "happiest place on earth"!!! I am excited, and kids are excited! I have lots of packing to do! It is hard to pack for three kids and myself. I am actually excited we are driving now because I can pack as much as I want (or that will fit)! Today I need to take a trip to target to get our snacks/drinks etc.

Have I said I AM EXCITED!!!

You miss me?

So I know you all stalk my blog to see what's going on in my life.........ok ok I know you don't. I am working really hard this week so I can take next week of and go play with my kids.
So sorry if you miss me.

That backfired

Last night Sienna went to bed shortly after I picked her up, Alec stayed the night with my sister in law and Jaden and Brannon had football until 8. Another night to do what I want..............this never happens.
So I debated about getting Sienna up but she was so tired which means my night would be hell with whining and crying and three year old fits. So of course I let her sleep. I got a workout in, messed with the new DVD player, cooked dinner etc.

WELL...................2:30 my sweet angle is wide awake and hungry. So I fed her and got her to watch cartoons but every time something was on TV she would have to tell me

"mom, look at Elmo"
"mom, I want that"
"mom, are you asleep"


She finally went back to bed at 4:00am!
I will wake her up tonight if she tries to go to bed before 7!

Ironies of motherhood

Last night the two little ones fell asleep after I picked them up from the football field after work. They stayed asleep for the rest of the night. I got a good workout in and cooked a yummy dinner and then sat down to read parenting magazine and I saw a article about the ironies of motherhood and #1 on the list was

1. that you could miss your little ones so much all day at work but be unbelievably relieved when they fall asleep an hour after you get home.

I like #5

5. That you look forward to girl's night out for weeks-then spent it debating if Hannah Montana is a good role model.

I don't know how many times I spend just about the entire night talking about the kids. Get me drunk and I tell strangers how cute my kids are!! (Don't laugh Katie and Jamie........Newport)

and #10 is a big one for me now

10. Tough as it was when your child clung to you at the entrance to pre K, it's worse when he hisses "don't kiss me!" as you drop him off for third grade (changed this to fit me)

Football

Jaden started football on Monday and doesn't really like it to much yet. I knew he wouldn't........I am him mom, I know these things.
First of all I don't think my kid has ever done a push up a day in his life, or had to run for two hours. So when he came home the first day saying "that is not fun", I totally knew why.

Jaden is not a confrontational type of kid at all. He hits his brother but that's about it. He hates when he thinks people are mad at him and is just not the aggressive type. I am OK with that. But football is not a sport for kids like that.

Of course his dad wants him to play and even got suckered into being a coach. He would never even tell his dad he hates it. I am not going to force Jaden to play if he doesn't want to but I did say he had to give it a few more weeks. He begged to sign up after I told him I didn't think he would like it.

I guess they have to learn for themselves. Should I make him stick it out?

I know...........her again

Ok so I know I have been on a Sienna pic thing lately but these are her three year old pictures and pictures with her cousin.
