internet is back on!!

You would think that not having the Internet wouldn't be a big deal. It drove me crazy - mostly because I felt removed from my financial situation - I really, really like to get near the $5 in the bank range. It is an invigorating challenge to see how poor we can be!! Now moving on - this week was a busy one. We (DeAnn and I)went to Towson for fun on Tue and on Thursday we embarked on another journey to Baltimore. J didn't go to school (bad mom) and we hit Port Discovery!! It was a blast of course!! After Port Discovery we were feeling empowered with knowledge that our husbands wouldn't be home till late, and tired children. So we hit Trader Joe's (dang I got some good cookies), we drove thru Burger King to tame the beasts, and last but not least partied like rock stars in IKEA!! In my excitement to start the partying after putting the kids in the childcare (1 1/2 hours) I raised both arms and let out a wooo wooo!! The lady in the childcare gave me a look reserved for bad moms like me. Who cares - the kids were so good all day but the break was much needed!!
We crossed the Nile

We went surfing in the water room

We got trapped in huge bubbles

We played in a 3 story climb zone

The kids served us rubbery food

This little guy didn't like the food so he puked up a ton in the restaurant

We crushed pennies with our bear hands (kind of)


We pretty much acted like crazy fools and had a great time!!

12 inches

12 inches doesn't sound like a lot when you think of it in terms of chewing bubble tape or something. But when it comes to growing your hair out - it takes a long time!! I was ready to cut it off because it had no style to it and it was driving me crazy. So off my hair goes to locks for love and here to stay for a while is short and easy hair. My friend Lisa cut my hair in DeAnn's kitchen in like 20 minutes - what a talent! I LOVE IT!!

Halloween has come and gone

I am being ragged on about my lack of blogging, so I will do a lame but informational blog. Now I will be able to show my face at church. Here are the boys with cool things grandma sent them!!

You should all feel bad for my kids. Their mom is sooo cheap - I refused to buy costumes so S was originally going to in his pj's. Then we were at the neighbors and they went shopping in their box o stuff. J ended up being a fisherman and S a skeleton. It was really so much fun going trick or treating with the kids - they are the best ages right now. Excited to go and can walk on their own!!

One day I was walking by and I saw this. I guess the boys thought she had more important work to do than just sit around with her friends.

Last but not least - it seems like ages ago but J got a really bad cold and the virus attacked his tongue. Poor guy he couldn't eat anything but shakes for 2 days, and he didn't talk for 4. I kind of found the no talking to be enjoyable sometimes. I felt so bad for him - he slept with his tongue sticking out all night.
