re-cap

 to re-cap our weekend doings:
bars were tended with in&out of town friends (and it was a bar i would have said was for old folks, shoot! does that mean we are officially old?),  the sun was more than enjoyed as were an mix of different play grounds (dear playground makers, were you thinking of the 4 year old little boy who  pockets the wood chips/mulch so that his mommy has to go through his pockets to unload, the toddler who throws it at innocent by standers, or the baby who is determined to eat it?) please consider another type of surface next time, thanks! , art galleries in town were "dog cussed" (down south that means i was really put out by one!), a green field was planted and played in with 110% delight (four wheelers, tractors, DR, oh my.), a funeral was respectfully attended (and i think its safe to say ONLY Andy hartley's funeral do you leave with a smile....isn't that how he ALWAYS left you? i will miss him dearly), a photo shoot for a 10 page spread was "attempted" for hollywood baby (really, stacy, WOW! i don't know how much more i can take but proud of the boys, it was fairly easy??), the boys were ask to be her fashionistas on tv this friday (actually they were more told "see you this friday at 8 am for the tv shoot) "i felt like saying um stacy, do you remember this summer tv broadcast AT ALL, my boys are NOT the ones to ask, but to no avail she had written us in the script without asking and i have an issue saying no to people so "look for us on tv, we will be there),  christmas shopping is getting closer to DONE, an adorable dress if i don't say so was discovered, bought, and hanging in the closet screaming for a chance to but worn (i can't wait!, its one that swings.... you know those fun dresses that twirl.....if you don't know, then you should, me and the other 3 year old little girls agree, they are fun to outfit yourself in), i caught up with an ole' friend from back in the day, you know those wild days that have leave that kind of memory for you to enjoy forever and i am still smiling, or laughing better yet in my head (why do i still feel 18 inside?) , christmas carols were sung "sing it again mom", a surprise party was planned (i am like a giddy little girl, so excited!), halloween cupcakes and cookies were thrown out (ALL OF THEM) apparently NO ONE in my house will eat sweets..... i guess i will continue with gum as a treat (not the fun yummy bubbalicious, no just winter fresh for my kids..... (what gives? little boys are so weird!) oh and a fellow 4 year old's wedding (at a farm) outfit was planned..... "hey amy, do you think i should buy into saddle oxfords?" i don't know i have them for my oldest baby but don't care for them.  "i found the cutest button on shorts" oh i do love those and monkey wears them proudly on sundays but come on, french lace until you just can't do it anymore...agree? "okay, so french lace outfit but shoes?" i like a bare foot for formal events even in the winter, on a four year old boy.  "but amy, its outside?" since its a farm, dress him in lace and pair it with his favorite cowboy boots, NO LESS! (the little boy we are outfitting LOVES his cowboy boots "you mean like he just threw them on" yes, like he just threw them on.   I love that conversation we had because if you knew this mom i was speaking with, you would still be smiling (just threw them on, like a girl plays off the messy pony tail or bun, like she just threw it up, ha!)  but admit it, he will look truly edible wont' he?????   lace? boots? bare feet? music, dancing..... my perfect night!!!!!

Updates on my mom:  she had a really really bad day yesterday.  I am pushing for dr. visit, dad thinks we will regroup this morning and see where  she is????  if you have had a sick loved one you know:  its hard to enjoy yourself with the heavily hanging guilt knowing your mom is in such a bad place right now.  Its hard to enjoy life and be exciting and enthusiastic with my boys knowing and constantly thinking.... we have not seen mom either.... we have some type of allergy cold just stuff we are hanging on to.   ALL of us!  say a prayer for mom and dad too.
