its a date!

 a play date.... and a catch up session for us mamas.... a long time coming.... always too short and always much needed..... Don't you want to eat this little girl up?

whit was RATHER fussy and excused himself from his date EARLY.... thank you morning nap time! 

Dear teeth,

i am really close to cutting you out myself...just sayn'

do you have this car? is it not ALWAYS the hit?? it is at my happy home.

the little hornet joined us too after playing fireman upstairs with his much older; MUCH nicer brother....just kidding but on that day i was DEAD SERIOUS, there was not much nice about my little hornet!!!!

dear sweet angel who came to play,

i am so sorry, i have no excuses for my littlest lambs, they are OFF today, by a LONG LONG SHOT!  Please come back sometime soon, i promise they will act nice nicER.

even being this cute, i wanted to spank THIS chubby FANNY very badly, i restrained myself and just put him down for a nap.... LUCKY for me, that worked!!!

and i wanted to shove this baby down into this bug box and close the lid....

dear DHR,

it was just a bad day all together, i really wasn't too too mean to the boys....i promise!!! but i was  THREAT for sure. GOsh, i am starting to feel bad for my friend and that princess who came to play....

she had to pull a BO DUKE (thats dukes of hazard for you NON-KNOWING readers, meaning jump through the window when there is no time to use the door) to get a turn in the car..... This angel knew just how to hold her own!!

i have no clue what's in his mouth.....GROSS! where was his mommy???

yes, my biggest baby was there too, he jumped on his bike and headed down to a neighbors house to play and escaped the crying madness.....i don't blame him a single bit!!

everyone kinda shaped up that afternoon after good long naps.... KINDA i said.....

its the least i could ask for, right?  it was friday no less.

now you see them above playing nice, move to the next day when he hits this angel with a frisbee and a gun and got sent INSIDE.....Like i mentioned ONE thousand times, we had an OFF WEEKEND which started friday and is slowly working out its kinks.....

did y'all have a better weekend than me?  could i possibly complain anymore?  call me and we will see.  wink wink.  

sugar, spice, and everything...

NICE!

have i failed to mention i am getting ANOTHA girl to call my own.....thats right.  so i think of this angel every baby girl thing i see and i feel the need to share these images with you....

now thats a sugar, spice and everything nice little baby shower, isn't it? ideas??

yes in deed a good thing

girls WILL BE girls or is it GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!!!

must go enjoy my saturday now....

my dream house

dear daddyc,

if its not too much to ask...i have found my dream house at the ripe at of 30.  only one problem it is in Atlanta, we would have to have it moved and probably hire out the original architect to come do some minor touch ups as it may get "shook" on the move???  Oh and if you are looking for his name its Brad Heppner, he is atlanta based....and i think i am IN LOVE......  

via things that inspire

the driveway + the massive front porch + landscape + those front doors= LOVE

what? recession? what is that? someone has to stimulate the economy, right????  maybe i will start with shoes and not a "dream house" but if you are so lucky buy this and save it for me one day!!!

make that THREE

last night i had a date..... with TWO men....it was great!  We dined on mexican, walked for ice cream, played checkers on a massive chess board, cruised by the fire station on our way to the playground and called it a NIGHT!  My biggest baby was so very excited to be included on our date!  he told everyone he saw......
oh and just a little too much information my monkey likes to find his happy way to our neighbors house EVERYDAY, she is a hard worker (AND works from home) therefore my monkey doesn't seem to think she is busy.....when she told me how excited he was to be going on our "DATE" i questioned her "when in the world did he come over, we were together ALL DAY??"  and we figured out it was while i was showering, he is so sneaky!!!  not really but he does so enjoy going to visit his buddy will's mama EVERYDAY just for a quick chat!!!! i secretly think its kinda cute. and the baby boys had EQUALLY as much fun with miss caroline playing outside at home!

and on a motherly note: what is he showing me?

who cut his hair? 

look how dirty he is? he told his dad he played down the street in ole' mr. charlie's fireplace ashes......tell me this isn't just my children??????  

Have a great weekend!  Our lolly is still climbing the hill back up to feeling good, she DID have a treatment yesterday so we have our fingers and toes crossed we have a good weekend...... Are you heading down to AU or to AL for the big spring a-day games?  we, here in the south don't miss much of anything to do with football, be in their practice, spring game, pep rally......its kinda funny and obsessive at the same time..... even funnier that everyone will tailgate tomorrow, my boys included. 

I have some good great lifetime friends coming over in a little while to play, i can't wait to get my hands on her little girl....i will take pictures to prove she is the most adorable thing you have ever seen.

THIS IS NOT What my potting bench looks like.........shoot!

here, there, & everywhere....

i want to, really want to spend hours looking at design blogs and post some really cool things, ideas, and inspiration but STUFF keeps getting in the way....... i blame the OH SO fabulous weather, our need to be outside most all day long, events that just won't quit coming up, my need to be a wife, mother, and friend (although, my friend section is really slacking...i have phone calls, and wine catch ups enough to fill a month...sorry friends, i do love you more than words, i just need about 4 more hours a day to catch up...and then i would beg for more, you know i hate to end a good chat or party!).....
Anyway, y'all all know i could blame so many things! (i am good at that.....as you remember its usually NOT MY FAULT.......maybe on rare occasion? no, probably still not my fault)
While i stowed away the camera for a week, i have had my phone and lucky for me i have left it outside TWICE this week, once in water, and it STILL WORKS!  luck.  needless to say the photos are NOT good ones but ones no less of a couple different days we have treked the outside world together.......

my biggest baby is playing soccer on mondays and t-ball and swimming on wednesdays mixed in with other extras and preschool of course....he is a social butterfly who LOVES his friends dearly!  He starts his first games (and if you saw one you would laugh that they call them games at all, ha! but don't tell him....HE IS AN ALL STAR and he will be the first to tell you- while it seems like bragging, i am letting him boast as much as he wants, HE IS FOUR after-all.

some middle baby wished badly he was on the team too..... lucky for him coach john lets him play when he is there but we are still working on which ball is for which sport....

we have been taxi-ing and carpooling all over town....i can be found most days with FIVE boys in my car.....its music to my ears to hear them converse with each other and then to hear my middle baby try and jump in...... He loves the older boys!

Naps have been hard to come by, you catch some zzzs when you can!

 

we have been biking trails and pushing double jogging strollers everywhere.

i feel lucky to have this right outside my door! so peaceful.

my younger boys enjoyed the ride too

we breaked when needed

we made some great wishes.... mostly for a firetruck and police car? of which we have hundreds of????  

we saw dead snakes, little ones that scared some more than others..... MUST instill fear in my biggest baby!

and when you gotta go, you GOTTA go, God love a little boy!  ANd right now i have to go be a mom and tend to these angels..... Forgive me for not having interesting post lately i will be back soon.....i hope!
