copycat

thinking of what to post tonight.  i was going through my pictures on my computer, and i thought these were pretty funny

  luke is very into doing what everybody does, ESPECIALLY his dad.

he LOVES to ( real or pretend) talk on the phone.  every time my phone rings, he says “ i talk.”

do they have a costco anonymous?

i think i might have a problem…

i have been to costco 5 times in the last week.  .

what do you think??????

last night, i was putting a box away in luke’s closet, and i fell.  i landed wrong on my foot.  it. hurt. REALLY bad. after a while, the pain went away and i actually got up and i was fine.

a little over an hour later luke threw up.  i put him in the bath and took his temperature. 100.3.  he is fine today.

meanwhile, sara had woken up and was crying in her bed.

so, i had a screaming baby and a 2 yr old who just wants to cuddle.  WHAT DO I DO??

of course i cuddled with my son.

things would have been much easier if jeff weren’t at school.

i want my dad

luke says this phrase a lot lately.  that’s all he wanted today, but jeff had to finish some homework before school. 

 

 

a LOT of times, i WANT MY dad too.

man, thinking of what to post when you didn’t do much all day is hard.  also, not having a camera IS hard.  i have a couple posts in mind, however, i need to take pictures for them.

it’s late,  i’m tired. and we have company over right now.  so, for now, i will say goodnight.

naked

i have felt somewhat naked the past couple days.  when i needed to charge my camera battery the day before we left vegas, i couldn’t find the charger.  i swear i  put it in my camera bag before we left, but i can’t seem to find it anywhere.  so, for now, i’m CAMERA-LESS.  i HATE this.

DOUBLE ear infection.  AND she has a tooth on the bottom.

cranky sara=very little sleep for ALL of us

desert paradise

that is the name of the timeshare we stayed at in vegas.  it was a two bedroom and 2 bathroom.  it looked more like an apartment.  there was a kitchen and even a laundry room.

2+2

yesterday, i got a text message froom chad asking if i could babysit mason and alexis this weekend because both he and hilary were working. 

turned out alexis went to spend the weekend with her grandma.  so i only had mason, and tanner came too.

so, i had Four kids today.  tanner and mason came at 6 and left at 3.  mason is 15 months. sara is 8 months.  a handful.  mason is a real easygoing baby.

Luke was excited to see tanner this morning. 

tanner brought his football with him, so the boys played football for a while.

they played with magnetics

had a pillow  fight

mason woke up, so out came the football again

mason and luke had cheerios

when sara woke up, we went and had a picnic at the park.. 

of course there was more football.

on the walk home, luke did EVERYTHING tanner did
