The Boys.

Ok...several posts from this weekend...all in one day. :) We were very relaxed this weekend. We did do some shopping, but G spent most of the weekend helping his brother, Corey with a school project. G's supervisor gave him today off, so he worked with Corey while Trent and I played Legos and Star Wars. :0)

Here are some photos from today:

Workin' at the Carwash.

Saturday was Trent's day. I knew it would be my last free Saturday for awhile, so I asked him what he wanted to do. First he said he wanted to eat lunch outside....so we did. Then he said he wanted to wash my car...so we did. He was the perfect example of a diligent worker. Everytime he dropped the sponge in the mud he would pick it up and continue working. And while he went to brag to G about his accomplishments....I drove to the nearest carwash and paid $7 to wash the mud off. But as long as he was happy and doing what he wanted to do...I was happy. :) And now I have a super-clean car....inside and out!

Yum.

The key to my heart? Food Lion's mini chocolate chip cookies. They're in the deli and they're oh so good. I can pass on chocolate any day. Cake doesn't even tempt me. But these little cookies....at $2.99 a container...yum. And I don't share. I eat these when G is away and T is asleep. Bad mommy. Bad, bad mommy. :) Some take bubble baths, some relax with a hot drink and a good book...I have my mini chocolate chip cookies.

Play.

I do love photographing children. They're the perfect mix of silly and sweet. And luckily I have a 4-year old to practice on.

Here are some fun shots from a few minutes ago:

So much for that...

Those chores I was supposed to be doing did NOT get done. I did fold a load of laundry, cook dinner and load the dishwasher. But this kinda put a damper on my progress.

It was nice at first:



Then it just got ugly. The picture isn't great....partly because I was holding Trent back with one hand and partly because I was inside....where I should be, right? I love a good rain storm...or a thunderstorm...but throw in hail and wind and I become a big baby. :)

Just Another Day in Paradise.

Just another day in paradise. It's Tuesday....feels like Monday. Trent is being Trent. May the Lord bless his preschool teachers...they're gonna need it!

But right now he's playing Wii...unclothed...which is how he is 90% of the time. Of course, if this town had something to fit him, he may wear clothes more often. If you think I'm kidding...I'm not. The only shirt I found in 5T yesterday said "Blame the Dog". I almost bought it, but we don't have a dog. Gotta place an online order and SOON!

The cat...well...she doesn't bother anyone, but she also doesn't want to be bothered.

And the laundry...it keeps piling up. I took a picture of the dishes in the sink, but it was too embarrassing to post. The rest of the house....not too good. My to-do list is horrendous.

But this is paradise. It's a beautiful day. Trent came and snuggled in bed with me this morning...something that rarely happens. He has slept in underwear every night for 2 weeks now and has stayed dry...that makes life heavenly! Everyone is healthy and relatively happy. I did clean my office, so I can work without feeling dust bunnies chewing on my toes. I'm feeling ever so slightly motivated, so if I go now I may knock a few things off my list before sundown. Au revoir!

Drumroll Please.

And the winner of the card set:
