apparently WILD & totally out of control DOUBLE O.C.
we managed to get ourselves ready, meaning
I was able to get the boys dressed, picnic lunches packed, a "game" plan, juice in sippy cup for littlest lamb, diaper bag set, and myself showered and ready for the day by 8:30 when we headed out the door..... See miracles happen EVERYDAY!!!
and on our way, just so happens we drive by our bestest' house on the way to get my hornet's hair trimmed, for the record he acted very hornet-ISH, two suckers, a little car, bribes, and a little fish later we have a small TRIM (but roger, our hair go to guy, ask me "ya want me to even up the lil' lamb's hair while y'all are here" so i nervously said "sure"......what Roger meant to say was...."shall i cut the baby's hair like a 6th grader for Easter sunday"- but we are even now and looking so big and it is NOT the real FIRST cut, is it? DaddyC was SHOCKED i let him cut it, i am still in shock myself)
oh and dear barber shop,
It is okay if we, meaning YOU, purchase some new children's capes, i am SO tired of seeing the wizards one and think by the looks of it, its TIME to replace it. And while i am touched you have cut daddyc's hair since he was a mere child, ENOUGH already.... And must we repeat what a wild child he is EVERY SINGLE time.... only kidding rog (i can call you that, right?) its all fun and games and i am touched you love the boys so much! apologies for the hornet's actions and "didn't my little lamb do so well" i am so proud!
Anywho, i swung my big SUV into john john's drive, ran to the door and snatched him...Just in time too- his dear mama was close to a stress/nervous breakdown and i am always glad to help out a stressed mama and MORE THAN ALWAYS glad to have this little man with me. So there we were running errands, all five of us. And after we tended to those, i took them ALL to story time....So so so so sorry library goers... What can i say? we were more PLAYground material today, who knew? So after DeSTROYING the library we headed for the playground, picnic'd with some fellow friends, and played until we could play no more.....Now all God's babies at the Smith house are nestled snug in there beds while i waste precious time blogging........And yes, my mama friend said she got it all done and feels so much better! i was glad to hear it.
all our bags were packed, we were ready to go.
look at those chubby cherub legs...uuuhhH!
and look at that big boy haircut and yes, the sippy cup leaked a little on the way, lending the orange right there on the collar of lamb's outfit...
whit's eyes do what daddyc's do when he smiles....almost disapper!
the wrecking crew
i hate all the shadows but i couldn't get picky and chose-y here, it was time for play not photo sessions.
i had to be quick.
sure, his haircut may not be even AT ALL but hey, he can now see! he is not the best at getting his haircut...i know its hard to imagine...but try!
they laughed and laughed some more doing this....
and then miss priss showed up after her ballet class was over and they "played it COOL" and stopped the none sense play.
Abs enjoyed her cookies
while big boys re-hydrated.
All in ALL we had a great day! This little crew parted for a couple hours before meeting back at church tonight- Nothing like watching your children and their friends play, smile, laugh, & enjoy life all together. HEAVEN on earth!
