I need a do-over

A recipe for a not-great weekend:
  • Take one vomiting kid
  • Add one kid who is INSANELY whiny because he was woken up an hour early
  • Add in a 9 day vacation where the entire family was together 24/7
  • Add in FIVE YEARS of being in the same classroom together with the light at the end of the tunnel SO CLOSE
And you get this:



I am so so so so so so so ready for kindergarten to start. Not just because we will be done with double day care payments. Not just because they will finally stop napping. But because Nate and Alex (and Jon and Laura) NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED the boys to have time apart. No matter how much one-on-one time give them, every time they are back together it is WW3.

Two things saved the weekend.
1. the easiest and most delicious cookies of all time. Peanut butter cookies with peanut butter cups. Another hit from Julie at Joys Hope.

2. The boys have asked to listen to this approximately 4,567,246 times in the last two weeks. They saw the performance on So You Think You Can Dance. I'm happy because I love the song and hello HOK from SYTYCD!

LOL Laura. Your drawings are almost as good as your pictures! As for the boys fighting, Oh dear! When's their first day of school again?

Amen to the no nap thing. I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Your drawing has me LMFAO.

The video = Awesome

Very funny, although I have to disagree on the nap thing. I love it, is my time to catch up on other things or simply relax. It's my quiet time :-)

Hey, even I can do those dance moves! LOL! Don't know if I will play it for the girls. I played Pink's "I'm looking for a fight!" just a few times too many in this house.

The no nap thing is definitely one of the perks to being a SAHM. Bedtime is ridiculously quick because Michael is exhausted.

I love Nate's hair in the picture.

I hope kindergarten is everything you hope it will be. For my kid, I think he'll be working so hard to hold it together at school that our time at home will be extra crazy. And that's the best case scenario. Then again, I'm a pessimist.
