Pizza and PJs

What could better than pizza, pjs, and good friends? Nothing for Cooper today! She has a friend over and they are having a picnic lunch of pizza, grapes, and juice boxes, while sitting in pajamas and watching a video. I wish I could do that with some of my friends. I miss seeing so many of my girlfriends and having down time with them. It is amazing how being a stay at home mom can occupy so much of your time that your are neither staying at home OR getting to be with other moms...... SO, right now this is a shout out to all my dear friends to let them know I am thinking about them, missing them, and wishing we too could get in our pajamas, eat pizza, and watch a video.

Neglected

so sorry for my tens of followers who have felt neglected over the last few weeks. We were gone for 8 days and then it has taken me a time to get back into the routine of life. BUT, to update everyone. We returned from Disney World on Monday night. We had a BLAST!!!!! Everyone enjoyed it and took something different away with them. Cooper told me it was the most wonderful place on earth and she never wanted to leave. Parker LOVED seeing the Power Rangers and kept saying, "Look Mommom, there's Mickey!" EVERYWHERE WE WENT! Imagine that....Mickey Mouse at Disney World. Barrett enjoyed chillin' out with dad and Logan LOVED the castle and Spectromagic parade. I will try and post some pictures when I get a chance. But, because it is warmed than it has been today, we are headed off to the park to run off some steam.......check in later.......

Back but not really

So we are back from Disney but I am not really back yet. It always takes a few days to get totally back and completely together again....(even longer for those of us who are not together anyway) So, I am going to try and get pictures and posts p from our trip as soon as I can find my way our from under this massive pile of laundry and junk that needs to find homes.

Getting Ready to go

Don't have much time but wanted to let everyone we are getting ready for our big Disney Trip......the kids Christmas present this year from us. We will be heading down there first thing in the morning and will return next Monday. Wish us luck and wish Chad lots of sanity. I can handle it but it is him I am a little worried about......I will try to post some pictures or updates during the week if I have time.....

It's All A Plot Against Me

So we have had the stomach bug running through our house and It took it's third victim this morning. Parker proceeded to throw up at the bus stop just before heading off to preschool. He seems fine now but I could not send him to school with the threat of him getting sick there. What does this mean for me? It means that we leave for Disney World in 4 days and the two days I had to run errands have been taken up by sick children. Now, I need to drop back and punt and try to figure out how to get ready for the big trip with little ones in tow.......
I will let you know how that goes......
Doesn't look too promising!
On a positive note, I DID get to fit a run in this morning so maybe the Wii Fit will not fuss at me TOO much.

Just WRONG

So tell if if this is not WRONG....... i have been working on the Wii fit for several days now and working hard at it. Chad hops on and in a total of 11 minutes, proceeds to top all of my high scores. I don't think they should let him erase all of my hard work. What do you guy think???????????

Daily Grind

So we are back into the swing of things and I would have to say I did breathe a small sigh of relief when that great yellow bus came rolling around the cornier. I really enjoyed the time off but feel more myself when we are going and doing. Today I got to head off to the gym, run errands, straighten the house, and start getting organized for our trip next week. I do not think I will breathing quite so easily in about an hour when that big yellow bus comes rolling around the corner again but there really is something comfortable about routine and that's what we are back to.

Wonderful time

I know it has been a long time since I have posted but it was hard to get here with all kiddos home and Chad home as well. We had a wonderful 2 weeks, saw family and friends, got lots of fun treats, spent tons of time together as a family, and for the most part got along. Unfortunately it was supposed to end with a date for Chad and I but he go sick so I went out by myself. I got new bras and a new coat and new running clothes. Sadly he could not join me but it was rather peaceful wondering around alone with no real agenda or hurry to get home. A quiet way to end the Christmas vacation and all the hustle and bustle that goes along with it. School starts tomorrow and I am looking forward to the routine of life but I certainly have enjoyed the lazy mornings and daddy time. Back to the rat race I suppose........
BUT, we head off to Disney World in a week so it should be sort lived until then.......
