This weeks project

Kenzi has been asking me forever to make her a superman cape so I finally did. I am definitely not a very good seamstress but I am learning and that's what counts. I even managed to make her a dress up outfit out of the remaining scrap material and with no pattern. As you can tell I'm a little bit proud of myself. Right now I'm thinking about Halloween costumes so that will probably be my next project. The idea is to have Kade and Kenzi be Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the cat and the hat. We will see how that turns out. Anyways we have a really busy weekend ahead of us so I will keep you posted.

First Day of School

My little girl is now a kindergartner! No sad moments here, I was happy to send her off to school. I love my daughter truly I do but I guess I'm also a little selfish in the fact that I like a little time to myself, and with kids you don't get that very often. Kenzi was extra excited about school and even decided to give herself a new haircut a couple of days previous to school starting. I tried my best to even it out but it still looks terrible!
Things around here have been pretty clean and quiet right up until the moment she gets home. There is a moment of pure sweetness when Kade runs to the Bus and gives her a great big hug but when they get inside its like a bomb exploded. I never realized just how much more trouble the two of them get in together. Its really interesting just to take a step back and observe them. Alone they are little angels but when they are together the little Devil part of them decides to come out. This week the house has been extra messy when Seth has come home. It really looks like I haven't been cleaning all day but I have!!!! I beginning to think Kenzi's mindset is that she has to make up for not making any messes at school. And Kade has missed her so much he whirls around making messes like a little tornado. On a side note I have been trying to potty train Kade and today he decided to leave some little nuggets on my bed.

Quiet is Bad!

When you have 2 kids and you realize that its actually quiet then that's a very very bad sign. Today I found my two little angels locked inside mommies bathroom and guess what I discovered..... most of my makeup drained out of the bottles and smeared all over the bathroom; not to mention the toilet overflowing while my darling little Kenzi tried to plunge it. Right now our toilet is currently clogged and I cant find the glass bottle that housed my makeup. Hmmm I wonder where the bottle is?! Any body know any good stress relief techniques? Personally I would love to invest in a punching bag, the counting to 10 isnt working today.

A divine experience

A warm muggy day, the kind where your clothing clings to your body persistently...... sliding into a cool clear inviting pool...... a tropical rain shower pouring down on you while you glide through the water. That was what I experienced today, and I have to say it has been one of the highlights of my summer. I have enjoyed taking a walk on a summer day while there was a warm drizzle of rain but never have I been swimming during a rain shower. If you ever get the chance to experience it don't waste a minute thinking about it just go its divine.

Happy Birthday Seth, Mama Mia!

Yesterday was Seths birthday and I just wanted to say Happy 28th Hunny! What a hard worker he is and a good father. We are going to celebrate his birthday this weekend with a shopping trip to San Marcos and dinner at our favorite restaurant the Gristmill. Yesterday my friend Natalie and I went and saw Mama Mia at this really neat theatre. It is called the Bijou Theatre and it is an actual dinner theatre. You get there a little before the movie order food from a menu, and then watch a movie. The seats were really comfortable and they had a long table in front of them for the food. Definetly a great and unique place to go on a date. Do your dinner and movie in one place. We decided that we definetly had to take our Husbands there on a date. As for the movie I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot. The movie looks like the actors had a lot of fun making it and of course I love Abba. Anyways thats my update and im sticking to it.

The nerve of some people

Today I was feeling brave so I took Kenzi and Kade shopping. Well to start off lets just say that I don't want to go shopping again with my kids for a very long time. Kade was all over the place, I think Im going to dress him up as Flash the superhero for Halloween, because man is that kid fast! Anyways the worst part of the day was Target. As I was chasing Kade around an older man actually told us to be quiet and then on top of that he asked me If I wanted him to beat my kid for me. I was totally shocked speechless, yes I have one terrible 2 year old but for someone to actually offer to beat my child.... boy did that guy have some nerve!!! For all those mothers who would rather starve than go shopping with their children I dedicate this blog to you.

Its Ladies Night

Friday night I was actually able to get out of the house without my children and husband. Four other girls and I headed out to a big Twilight Party. For those of you who are clueless as to what Twilight is, well that's just sad, enough said. The party was a blast! When we arrived we picked buttons that said that we either supported Edward or Jacob and then we played trivia games, gabbed, and of course what would a gathering be without eating. I think that there were at least 20 women there. After the Party the 5 of us went to Barnes and Noble to gawk at the people that were waiting in line to get the book and we ended up joining them and getting Breaking Dawn. I have just finished reading the book and although I was expecting some of the stuff to happen I must say that Stephenie Meyer did a good job of throwing a couple curve balls into the book. I enjoyed the series and even though the characters bugged me at times, I would definitely recommend the books.

Need your Carpets Cleaned? Ask Kade!

After washing my hair the other day a peculiar thing happened. I went to check on my kiddies and their room was covered with a white lathery substance. The day previous to this I had bought 2 bottles of kids shampoo and had left them sitting on the counter top. My little Hurricane Kade apparently climbed up grabbed both of the bottles and proceeded to shampoo his carpet adding just that right amount of water for that perfect lather. The funny thing is I was just telling Seth the other day how much we needed to clean the carpets.
