Catch -up

I have put the new pictures in chronological order, so scroll though for the last 6 weeks. Sorry for the delay.

5 Weeks and 11 Pounds

My kid is getting to be a real chuncker. He is huge in fact. For the first time I might have a child out grow his clothes in the time frame given on the label.

I am going to try and take a picture of him every few weeks with his little owl that Gabe picked out for him. This should give you all an idea of how big he is getting.

Dinosaurs Unearthed

There is a fabulous traveling exhibit about dinosaurs called Dinosaurs Unearthed. Lately this is my older boys obsession. We talk about dinosaurs like we expect to see them at the zoo. We know everything about each dinosaur including what time period they existed in. Anthony can also tell you the order of the time periods and will tell you the various theories as to why they became extinct. He is such a little nerd...just like mom and dad.

Anyways, the dinosaurs in the exhibit move and make sounds. There is interaction for the kids and a 3D movie. The exhibit talks about some new fossil discoveries that makes them think that dinosaurs were more apt to have feathers and hair.







Here is the updated velociraptor. He's not your daddy's dinosaur.


The best part was that Anthony would time the roars and the lulls so he could run past the carnivores during the lull. That kid cracks me up!

It was a great day!

Wonder Woman

Growing up, my favorite superhero was Wonder Woman. She was amazing to me. She could kick the ass of any guy, she had an invisible jet, her bracelets would cause bullet to bounce off her, she had a magic lasso, and her hair and make-up always looked great no matter how hard she worked. Did I mention her rockin' body? Seriously, would love to look like that.

Lately I have been feeling like I am caught in a Wonder Woman rerun. Do the laundry, fee William, run to the store, feed William, get the kids ready, feed William, do homework, do projects with the kids, feed William, feed other kids, try to sleep, feed William, try to spend time with husband, feed William. (Yes, William is a hungry pig...healthy happy and fat). To be honest, I can see why she only had a 30 min show. Being Wonder Woman is exhausting! And I have come to realize as all children do when they think of their super heroes, Wonder Woman was not real!

The reality of all the things that should get done and all the things that will get done cannot match up. Choices have to be made. I can't lasso bad guys and have perfect hair and make-up. I have to choose what is important, a clean house or healthy homemade food, playing with the boys or an A in school. I still want it all, but I am just too tired to get it all.

Mother's Day is approaching, but I think it should be officially named Super Heroine Day. A special thanks to all the moms who manage to make Wonder Woman look lazy.

Promise to post pictures this weekend of the kids and such.
