Back on track...

Ok, so I thought that maybe I would go on here tonight and type up posts for the two days that I missed and then back date them so that I would technically be able to make my goal for the month. I then started thinking, what in the world I was doing that for? I would go on here and cheat by putting back dates just so that I could win at a game that I am playing with myself? That just shows how competitive I am! So here I am, doing one post for three days and it is seriously bugging me, but I have to keep telling myself that it is ok. I know, I need serious help. Anyway, back to business!!

This weekend was so wonderful! Friday was a gloomy and snugly day outside and I did a whole lotta nothing! We went and ran some errands in the morning, met Pauline, Ian and Cormac for lunch, and then came back for nap time. I was able to get all three kids down for naps at the same time and I had a huge headache so I curled up under a blanket and joined in the nap time also. We all woke up in time to make some dinner and have the house presentable for Daddy when he came home. After dinner we all sat down and played some Chutes and Ladders before bed time. SO nice!

On Saturday Adam had to go to school for a few hours to check in with his professor but was out by 10:30 a.m. We decided to go to Disneyland for the rest of the day and enjoy the nice weather and each other. We of course were not thinking when we made the plans that it was not only a Saturday, but also Veterans Day weekend. We got to the park and decided to go over to California Adventure first. It was not too crowded there and so we were able to go on Monsters, Inc., see the Playhouse Disney show, and spend lots of time on the rope bridges in Bear Country. After this we headed over to Disneyland where it was super crowded and then on top of it, they were filming their holiday commercial that day. Seriously, it's a Saturday on a holiday weekend. Why in the world would they take up half of main street to film something? Crazy. We ended up just going on Small World, which was already decorated for Christmas, and then seeing the princess show and leaving. We got home late but the boys had blast and slept REALLY well.

Today was pretty low key. In the morning we went to Mass then came home, ate some lunch, and got the kid-o's down for naps. After nap time we headed over to AJ's house for Destiny's birthday party. The boys had a BLAST playing in the bounce house and running around with all the other kids. I am sure they will get another good night's sleep tonight!

Not a very interesting post, but I promise that I will be better in the coming weeks. To try and redeem myself I have included a few pics to make this boring post more interesting!

Aaron is such a crack up sometimes! He absolutely LOVES these light up devil horns that Aunt Allie bought for Alec on a super clearance from Old Navy a few years ago. Aaron takes the horns and instead of putting them on his head, puts them around his waist and walks around. To add to his outfit, he has also taken a liking to Alec's green gardening gloves. Aaron puts on a glove (without the fingers in the right place) and plays with his toys with it on. I have even put him down for naps before with it on and he keeps it on the entire time. He seems to think it is so cool to have a glove on his hand and still be able to do stuff. So strange!!

Adam and the boys playing Chutes and Ladders. It is a running joke with Adam and I, but Adam absolutely STINKS at the kids games. We realize that there is no skill involved at all with these games, but it still bugs Adam to no end that he always loses. Adam get's so frustrated and I think it is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!
