Tattoo Parlor

My son Corbin had a wonderful sleepover with his Cousin Noveigh. He didn't get dropped off today till 6pm. Mainly because he was picked up late yesterday so the kids didn't really get to play last night. So today was their day together.

Corbin went on and on about their overnight activities. He told me how they made a club house with blankets, and Neely let them eat breakfast in it. How they had popsicles. They watched Spy Kids. They made up dances. They played wall ball outside. They came back in and watched another movie. He seemed pretty excited about his sleepover so I'm happy he had a good time!

Later this evening when I was getting the boys ready for their bath I realized that Corbin had left out some details of his day with Noveigh. There was no way for him to hide it, it was starring me right in the face. Corbin's chest was covered in drawings. I took one look at it and was shocked...the boy is almost 8yrs old! His head sank and he said "Noveigh did it". When I looked closely I saw something that looked like a surf board and it said "surfs up" in it. I saw a girl (looked like she had boobs, but can't be sure), I saw something that looked like a dollar bill, and then there was a ton of other things I couldn't even make out. I also discovered another drawing on Corbin's calf.

I asked Corbin why Noviegh did this. He told me that it was just a game. I didn't react well and asked what kind of a game required Noveigh to draw all over him. He then told me that they were playing.......get this........Tattoo Parlor! OMG lol Ok I was fighting back laughter at this point.

Corbin drawing on himself, not ok, very immature! Noveigh drawing on Corbin, not ok, very immature. But something about the fact that they were playing "Tattoo Parlor" somehow just didn't upset me as much, infact made me laugh. I know it shouldn't matter lol But I couldn't help it.

After I found out their game I asked Corbin what everything was. On his side, was a dollar bill...nice lol

On his chest, 2 surf boards..one saying surfs up and one with fire on it. A scene of a room with flames all around and more dollar bills and then Noveigh walking in ?!?!? ok lol

His calf...well that's Spongebob!

I'm going to have to have a talk with Corbin about his Tattoo choices...this just won't do!

Tides game

Sunday was Little League day at the Tide stadium. So thru our Little League we got discounted tickets, so we all went. The kids had a great time, I got a sunburn which is now a nice tan! I look forward to going again.

Silly little Landon

Landon is my goofy child. The boys is constantly giggling and acting weird. He loves to play in the bathrooms. He goes in there and wets his hair down or tries to put muse in it. I normally don't like it when he does this but he's not really doing anything wrong so I don't make a big deal of it. Well the other day he came up to me and he had wet his hair down completely and said "so how do I look". I decided to take the comb and make his hair look goofy so here are a few pics

The VIPER!

Right before dinner this evening Corbin came to me and asked if we could make something with Lego's after dinner. I told him that would be fine and I went ahead with dinner. Well I wasn't prepared for what Corbin had in mind when he said "make something with lego's".

After dinner he brought me a pad of paper which had his "blueprint" of what we were to build. This was a sketch of a Rollercoaster that he wanted to build with Legos. I looked at him like he was crazy........a rollercoaster with legos??? I had no clue if it was even possible. He insisted that we try so all I could say was "OK, lets get to work".

This took WAY longer then I thought it would. We worked on it for an hour. Or should I said "I" worked on it for an hour. Landon watched, and Corbin basically dictated how it was to be built. He informed me that he was the boss because it was HIS design lol

I let the boys stay up well past their bedtime just so we could get the rollercoaster done, and we did! Not sure how long it's going to last. The kids are now in bed and I can't move the thing without breaking it. I have a feeling the dog is going to knock it over when I let him in...kids won't be happy.

Check out our masterpiece!

Chuck E Cheese from HELL

Today I had planned on spending the day at the beach. Saturday was nice, sunny , and hot...I guess I assumed that today would be the same. WRONG! I woke up this morning and it was cold and overcast. So the beach was out of the question. I had promised the kids the beach or CEC(chuck e cheeses).

So once I saw that it was nasty outside I knew I had no choice but to attempt CEC. I able to stall and avoid it until around 4pm. I figured lunch rush would be over and to early for dinner. I still had left over tokens from the last time we had went, as well as a birthday coupons for 20more free tokens. I had it planned out, so no money outa my pocket. We get to CEC and I got an awesome parking spot right up front. I figured it couldn't be that busy...@@ ya right. I got in the door and it was PACKED. Now i've seen it packed before so that wasn't that big of a deal. It was the people that were there. It started right away as I was standing in line to get my free tokens. I was about 3 families back from the counter when I first stepped in line. After I got in line I guess more people had formed an even longer line behind me. They had another cashier open up a register. I guess to some people this meant that 2 lines were being formed. So all the people behind me cut ahead of me and went to the 2nd register. I just rolled my eyes and let it go.
We walked around the place looking for something to play. All the games were taken up by people, there was nothing free. The stuff that was free was out of order...the majority of games were out of order. So we had to wait until something came available.
The entire time we were there kids were running around like wild animals, bumping into us, stepping on my toes (I was wearing flip flops), kids were standing over my boys trying to get them to stop playing a game so they could take it. My kids looked scared. At one point these two little boys were trying to beat eachother up. Landon and I were standing playing a game and these boys kept smashing into my back. They were no more then 6yrs old. At first I thought they were playing, and a woman who may have been a mother told them to calm down. But they kept hitting me. So Landon and I walked away...well this fight continues and followed us. At one point I turned around they looked like they were about to cry so I started to say something to them to get them to stop but they both ran away. I was just in shock that their parents hadn't stopped them.
We didn't stay long, just about an hour cause I just couldn't take it anymore. We then stood in line so the kids could spend their tickets. I stood there and waited and right as it was our turn up next some other family cut in front of me and the CEC associate was actually about to help them...but I had had enough so I stepped up and said I was next (in a fairly rude tone). They looked at me like I was a bitch but oh well I just wanted to get outa there.
I normally enjoy going there. The kids and I have fun. But never ever ever again will I go on a weekend.

Corbin will never be a doctor

I was sitting here on the couch looking thru my Good Housekeeping magazine and Corbin can running into the room. He said "I need help"...with panic in his voice. So I of course jumped up and said "what?". He was holding his foot and about to cry...he said he had cut his foot. I saw the panic in his face and I KNEW what was coming. So I picked him up and laid him on the couch. I looked at his foot and there was a TINY drop of blood coming from a TINY spot on his foot lol Right as I started pressing a napkin to this TINY spot I saw him go out. He fainted...I knew it was coming. His body goes stiff, his eyes stair into space and dialate. This lasts for about 10seconds and then you see the confused look come to his face. So after his passed out he just laid on the couch for a while until he felt better. While he's doing this he cries and covers his face. I tried to show him that it was just a tiny spot on his foot and the blood was gone..but he flipped out and started yelling at me so I just let it go. This happens pretty much everytime he cuts himself. He's not as bad when it's someone else...but if it's HIS blood then he freaks out. Nose bleeds don't seem to bother him as much, I think it's because there is no pain involved with it...but if it's a cut then he's out like a light. Poor Jack had to walk to Hannah's house in the rain today because of the fainting episode...I wasn't able to meet him at the school in time...he was soaking wet when I picked him up from Hannah's lol I wonder what kind of profession Corbin will go into....certainly nothing that involves blood...so no Doctor for him. Of course I don't think i'd ever want him to be a doctor anyway .....they are brainwashed lol

Professional Cooker

So I walked into the kitchen today only to find a HUGE mess all over my stove.

Earlier today Corbin informed me that he was a "Professional Cooker". While Landon told me he was a "Professional Thinker".....no clue what that is but he said he has to think of things lol

Back to Corbin..........so I didn't really think he meant this literally. But as I stood in my kitchen starring at this mess I realized what he was talking about. He had taken one of my pots, and made a pretend meal in it. Inside the pot were broken up crackers, water, and looked like a little of EVERY seasoning I have.
All the jars were taken off my spice rack. The celery salt jar is almost completely empty! Why did he have to waste one of the few spices I actually use @@

Why????? why are they doing this stuff to me lately. I'm working so hard on getting the house clean and organized and they constantly make NEW messes. And now just little messes like toys or books. But huge messes with MY stuff.
UGH @@ I'm having a bad week lol
Anyone know a good joke? I need a laugh.

Happy Birthday Landon!

Landon's 5th birthday was on the 3rd of Feb. I am still in shock that he is 5yrs old now. We did not have a party for Landon on the 3rd, mainly cause it was superbowl. But we made sure to make his day as fun as possible.

Landon had mentioned that he wanted to go Ice skating. So that sunday we all went. It was Landon, me, David, corbin, aunt neely, cousin noveigh, uncle ethan, cousin jack, aunt lauren...and my mom came and watched. I was so happy that my other family members came, it really added to the outing.
The kids have never been before so this was a big deal. by the end of the 2hrs corbin was skating all over the place all by himself...landon was going around the rink (holding side) all byhimself. We were all acting goofy, having races and things like that. I fell once lol everyone laughed.

After ice skating we went grocery shopping to get our munchies for superbowl...kids got to help pick them out. Then we got home and we all sat around and watched the game. Me and landon ended up falling asleep on the couch before it was over lol We're lame. David and corbin finished the game together.

He had a great birthday!

My little guy is getting so old. He's almost as tall as corbin. They are both basically wearing the same size shoe and alot of clothes...and they are 2.5yrs apart. He is super skinny and lengthy....I joke about it all the time...you see his ribs when his shirt is off...its creepy lol but the boy is a pig and he's healthy. Hopefully he fills out more as he gets older.

It's so weird only having older kids. Everyone around me has little ones in their house and I don't. Not that I really want a little one again lol but it's strange only having older kids. I almost feel like I don't fit in in alot of places anymore. They seem to older for mall play area's now. Whenever I go tot playgroups everyone is chancing their toddlers around while I just sit there. I don't have to worry about a diaper bag, or making sure i have snacks and a sippy cup with me at all times, or a stroller. Only thing I have to think about is making sure the boys go pee before we leave the house lol

They make thier own breakfast, pick out their own clothes, put on their own shoes, brush their own teeth, they play outside by themselves, they know how to hook up the dvd players or playstation, they put away their own folder laundry................this all sounds great to alot of people i'm sure. But at the same time it's kind of depressing when your kids don't need you for much anymore =(

I'm not sure what I would do with another baby if I had one, talk about starting over!

I'm sure when the time is right i'll be ready to do it.
