Things I love

I love so many things but right now here is the top 10 on my list of things I love in no particular order.

10- Avery. She is beautiful and such a fighter.

9- Chloe. She is smart as a whip and sassy just like her mom. She reminds me so much of my sister. The only problem is I am sure she is smarter. I think Laura and Phillip have their work cut out for them.

8-Swagbucks. I am seriously addicted. All you have to do is use it rather than google and you earn points for gift cards. And when your friends sign up you get points too. click here to sign up

7-My boys. After spending a few days in a row with Chloe I am thankful I married a man that makes boys. (Laura I feel bad for you now for what you will start dealing with in 10 more years). Now i know boys have their own issues and complications but at least i know there is a lot that I get to answer with "I think that is a question for your father"

6-The weather. It is finally nice enough to have the windows open for most if not all of the day. The house was starting to get stale. We went from must have the AC on weather to must have the heater on weather. Now it feels like fall.

5-Amazon universal wish-list. I know no one wants to think about it but as you can see from just about any store you go into as of late- :::whispers::: Christmas is coming. Amazon's universal wish list allows me to add anything from any site to one wish list. It also allows me to edit and send a single link to anyone who asks. Or I can keep track of what I have told people and things friends have suggested for the boys. (Erick and I have our own wish list where we are listing what we need/want for our future house).

4-counting. It is so cute to hear Ethan count 1...2...3....5...7...9..10 yeahhhhh! :::clap clap clap:::

3-Colors/coloring. Both boys are really into coloring and colors. Owen can name purple, blue and green.

2-Erick. He has been great. He is always great but he has been really great lately. He got me earplugs so on my days to sleep in I really get to actually sleep in.

1-Friends. I have some awesome friends. I couldnt do it without you guys. You know who you are.

Escape artist

Owen is an escape artist. He loves to see what he can get into or out of. It is no longer safe to buckle him in his highchair/booster because he can twist and get out. It is sad to say it is safer to leave him unbuckled so he can just get down without the fight or fall risk.

This need to escape is also in the bedroom. First it was his crib now it is the room itself. The problem is that he wakes before 6 and he wants to come in our room. This was all fine when he was trapped in his room by the closed door. Now the game has changed because he can open doors. So mommy thought she was being slick and got a knob cover. I thought those damn things were kid proof! Owen opened the door and tried to get in our bed the very first night.

Now what? He can knock down/ climb over gates. He can open the door (even with the safety knob on). I think it is a safety hazard to physically lock them in the room. So what do I do?

Avery June

I know I keep having excuses for not writing. Truth is life is getting in the way. There is always an excuse. There are things going on that I just an not ready to share (I am blogging them just not publishing). Then there is every day stuff that is just plain dull. And with things arnt dull or private they are BUSY. And I mean super busy. Like this last week my sister gave birth at just over 27 weeks.

My new niece is Avery June. She was born 2lb3oz and 14 inches long. She has a long fight ahead of her but she is a fighter. She is strong. So needless to say things have been busy. I need to tell you about pumpkins and all that and maybe I will load the pictures tomorrow. But for now please stay with me things will get interesting soon.
