Helpful Hint

I decided it was high time I hang a wreath on my front door. I can't use the over the door hook b/c my door won't shut, so I decided on the command hook. After talking to my sister who has had trouble getting the metal decorative command hooks to stay, I went and bought the white plastic one. My sister said she's had no problems w/ them - except for their bright whiteness. My front door is black and after holding it up to the door it was dorky dorky. So - bring on the spray paint. I happened to have black, so I got to work. I just hung it on the door and it looks great! So thanks again spray paint for saving the day. I may have some sort of lung disease at some point from breathing your fumes-but you've made my home very decorative!!!

First tooth!!

I just felt Eliza's first little tooth!! I have no pic yet b/c it's so tiny, so I'll substitute w/ her little tiny piggies. My friend painted them and I just want to eat them!!!

What a way to turn 6!

Today Tyler turns 6 and I know it's cliche'-but how did THAT happen?!??

We love having such a good kid in our family and I'm loving watching him becoming his own little person. I love you Ty Ty, Mr. T, T-dizzle, Tooter, T!!!!

Grocery list gone awry

I was at Target yesterday and noticed I'd put "nursing homes" on my list of things to buy. I was a bit perplexed by this and finished shopping. Then I went to Wegman's to grocery shop and again kept looking at this nursing home business. I just couldn't for the life of me figure out why I'd put that. Perhaps I'm in the market and forgot? Then it hit me in the produce aisle. I need nursing PADS!! While making the list I must have started writing it and gotten interrupted and so naturally w/ nursing must come homes. Evidence perhaps that I just don't get enough sleep.
Oh, and Wegman's doesn't carry them so now I have to go back out today for them. Dang!!

BOBOS?!?!?

I just bought Chase a pair of school shoes. Let's just say w/out disclosing what I paid for them, that Phil disagreed w/ the price. My thinking is that he's getting all hand-me-downs, would it kill him to have a cool pair of shoes? Phil's thinking is that he's 3 and would be just as happy w/ any pair of Bobo shoes. I ask, "did you say bobo? what in the heck are you talking about? a clown?" So Phil informs me that when he was a kid if you wore really cheapo shoes (ie:k-mart specials, wal-mart, etc) then they were called bobo shoes. So these were the variety that he wore and he tells me that one day a kid sang a lovely little tune and it goes as follows...

"Bobos, they make your feet feel fine.

Bobos, they cost a dollar ninety nine."

I have never laughed this hard in my life. I can just see poor tiny Phil crushed by this bully, and it's just hilarious to me! So then I of course ask, why should any child of mine wear BOBOS?!?!? I think this should become our families theme song.

And to verify this info I found this thread and it's a real hoot!

A short clip of him showing his mad skills.

Today Ty proved he CAN do a somersault

One of the funnest things about having this pool is watching my boys learn a new skill everyday. Today Tyler learned somersaults and handstands. Chase suddenly decided he could jump off the ladder and let his face go under water. Dramatic changes for these two timid pool people!!
