Boys & Dates

The other night it was just me and the boys. Doug had to work downtown and Taylor slept down at MacKenzi's, which left me and the trio. It actually turned out to be a good evening. Luke and Weston went down around 7:30pm and Jared went to be without a fight. Probably because he was the king of the house for once. I have forgotten how much I can accomplish when my kids go to bed at a decent hour. I feel myself more motivated to tackle projects, etc. I actually painted this magnetic board that Allison had gotten me from her enrichment night. I was so tired of looking at it in the corner of my bedroom, I broke down and painted and hung it. I must say I think it turned out pretty good. I was happy with the results.



Love the new vinyl stickers!!



It makes me want to just pick them up and hug them when they look this sweet and innocent. The best part was Weston sleeping with this dog book. He has become obsessed lately with Taylor's stuffed animal dog along with his blanket. I love when they identify and find something they can snuggle with. So sweet. All of my kids have done this. Taylor used to have a bear she called "baby" which I still have. I had to sew the head back on about 6 or 7 times. Jared and Luke both have their "special" blankets they cuddle with, which are now pretty much just batting.


Cheesecake Factory

We ended the night going out on a double date. Of course it was with our best buds... whats better than that? Its so funny to listen to Greg and go off about jobs or just misc. orth. Angie and I always ask them if they have anything better to talk about. Guess not...at least they enjoy it right?? Sorry Greg, you do look like you have had a bit much to drink. Maybe it was that regular coke that got you on the first round! Or our waitress spiked your drink. Anyways, we ate until we were sick at Cheesecake Factory. And of course finished off the evening with a Dolce de Leche slice of cheesecake! The best part of the evening was coming home to a house full of sleeping children. Hurray for early bedtimes!! Alright I am off to sleep.........chow for now.
