T-ball Tryouts

Bubby had tryouts tonight. It was so cute to see my little boy out there on the field being such a big boy. I know I have a hard time letting go and letting him grow up. But it is going to happen regardless if I'm ready. I was so proud of him and can't wait until the season starts. I think it is going to be full of laughter as we watch this little boys try to be ball players.

Valentine's day surprise!!

Hubs surprised me with 18 red roses at school on Friday! I was really shocked. Not the fact that he sent them to me because he has always been sweet about bringing home flowers. I guess shocked because I was totally surprised. I had no idea...he was a sneaky pete.
Thank you honey...I love you!!!

Valentine's Day

I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. Mainly because Hubs birthday is the day before and I would rather focus the attention towards that. Also I think Valentine's day is just a marketing/merchandising scam to get poor sad husbands/boyfriends to buy their women gobs of unnecessary chocolate that she will later be regretful for eating. And in turn resent him for buying it. Therefore I say boycott this ridiculous holiday... unless you are under the age of 10.

I have to admit kids are so cute at Valentine's day. I have always enjoyed buying my kids a little something. I don't make a big deal out of it like Easter but it is just a little something to let them know they are my special little valentine. And of course they get all into it because they get to take valentines to their classmates and teachers. We spent about an hour last night making their teachers' v-day gifts. I found some great little crafts on makelearningfun.com. They turned out really cute. We made a total of 4 since each kid has 2 teachers. Hopefully they will be something the teachers will appreciate since the kids made them. I know as a teacher I always appreciated the little handmade notes and cards kids made me. And of course to give each teacher their needed chocolate fix we attached them to a bag of truffles.

We will spend tomorrow night fixing up the 44 valentines for their classmates!!! Too bad they both don't know how to write their names. Bubby does but don't think he has the stamina to write it 22 times in a small confined space.

So to all you sappy love hungry valentine's day lovers...Happy Valentine's Day!!

Girls Rule...Boys Drool!!!

Well we tried to wait until the baby was born before we found out what the baby is. Oh well the pressure got to us and we opened the envelope. The ultrasound technician wrote the sex of the baby on a piece of paper and sealed it in an envelope. We waited until Hubs got home then sat down with the kids and opened the envelope. Not to much surprise...it said "It's a girl!!" We were excited to know that this last baby that is going to complete our family will be a little girl. Hubs and I both suspected that it was a girl. I have been sick and nauseous just like I was with Buggers. It is going to be alot of fun having a little girl around again. Also having a girl makes Buggers not seem like the middle child. She is more like the older of the two girls. And of course it will always be special for Bubby since he will be the only boy. Oh boy!!! I can see all the torture he is going to give the girls!!

I know it is going to be really tough at the beginning with a new baby and two toddlers. I can already forsee many sleepless nights and many days that I want to pull my hair out strand by strand. I can see the mountain of clothes that I will never get to the bottom of. I can already see the endless stack of dishes filled with sippy cups and bottles. I can envision the mass amount of time two toddlers will spend in timeout for waking the baby or for fighting with each other. Oh my just thinking of in makes me want to crawl in a hole and never come out. But I need to remind myself that all that is physical stress and physical work. That will be nothing that we will endure in 13 years when Bubby is a senior, Buggers is a junior and Little One is 13!!! Oh my...will we have our work cut out for us!!!

BFF=Best Friends Forever!!!

We met up with an "old" friend last weekend. We haven't seen her in about 4 or 5 years. We keep in touch through facebook and texting. So it was so great to sit down to dinner and catch up. Hubs and I became friends with Jenny in high school. She was one of the 4 girls in the "group". Us four girls were inseparatable our junior and senior years. We spend every weekend together at one of our houses. I have so many fond memories hanging out together and doing all kind of crazy things together.

It was so great to see her. Hopefully we will be able to see her more often since we only live about an hour and half away from each other. Here's to lasting friendships!!
