Give me a bloggy break!

Okay so lets just agree to say its been a while since my last post. Boy have I been busy. We moved. I think we are about settled. Its takes a long time to unpack and get organized and i am not the most patient person when it comes to that. I want it done...NOW!

Lets see what else is new, I turned 30, seriously I can't think of anything big and exciting. Oh wait yes I turned 30!!!! Its so crazy. I can't believe I can't say I am a twenty something anymore. It's a little sad...but I am over it already (sniff, sniff) no seriously I'm fine.

Here are a few pics from our dinner out to celebrate my birthday with all my favorite people...

Its was a good time. After dinner we went to this bar for people like 50 and over...no joke! It was like when Baby from Dirty Dancing "carried the watermelon" and walked in to the room with everyone bumping and grinding like she has never seen in her life. Well I have seen some dirty dancing before but holy moly when the people doing it are 50,60,70 and 80...its nasty! At one point they played a slow song so I dragged Jim out there and the couples around us were making out and groping each other. It was hilarious!

It made for a good night! Okay well I have all my fav people coming here to visit tomorrow and I gotta go get some sleep.

I still need to post pics of the house...Trish if you are reading I know you are waiting for them.

Okay more later

Blah Day!

Today was just one of those days. One of those nothing to talk about days.

I am excited about tomorrow. My best friends 2 boys are gonna be staying with us for a few days. My boys are excited. So I will have 5 boys for about 5 days. Should be interesting! They are gonna have a blast.

Now I am sitting here listening to the dogs stomach gurgle like I've never heard before. Why you ask? Because when he is outside supposed to be doing his business he is out there (stop reading if you are eating...NOW) eating his poop, my other dogs poop too. Why? I know its just a matter of time before he starts puking tonight. I am so not looking forward to it.

Okay off to bed!

Pre-School=Mortgage Payment

How is it even possible for Preschool to be so expensive? I mean I am talking about another mortgage payment here. That is just freaking unbelievable. The nice school that the boys loved was so expensive. So today I toured another one, a much much cheaper one hoping it would be okay but still up to my standards. Yeah completely different environment. I need to find a happy medium. I am leaving in like 10 to tour yet another one. Their website did not have rates, nor did she give them to me over the phone. I am sure that means EXPENSIVE! I'll post later and let you know. Maybe I should home school? Oh geez! Okay more later.

What I wake up to...

The other morning Jim and I are in bed the kids come in to let us know they are awake(Like we didn't already know). We are exhausted from the move and turn on cartoons for them just to lay in bed 15 minute longer. So all 3 are on the floor watching tv and Zachary finds something on the carpet(Give me a break we just moved people, my house is a wreck hee- hee). Zachary (2) and Cameron (4) talk about it. Here is how the conversation went...


Z-I found a stick

C-ok

Z-I am gonna put it in your ear

C-No your not

Z-I am gonna put it in Daddys ear

C-Go ahead Big Fella!

Oh we busted out laughing. First where would Cam of heard Big Fella? And second just the evil go and and do it in Cams voice when he said it to Zachary...too funny!

Boys-gotta love em.

I <3 New York

Well we made it. We are officially living in New York. It'll be a week tomorrow. I have been on Bloggin Vacation. I still do not have Internet. I am on hubbys laptop now. Hopefully my Internet will be working by tomorrow.

Getting here was the worst. We left on a Monday at 4:00pm and we drove til about 11:00pm, I think we were in South Carolina. We stayed in a hotel there. Sounds easy enough right...yeah right. Lets revisit the fact that we have 3 boys, 2 dogs, 1 cat and a hamster in the car with us. That equals out to be at least 15 trips from the car to the hotel room. No joke! Okay so then Tuesday we wake up and make another 15 trips into the car and drive to Youngstown, Ohio where Jims parents live. We stay there until Thursday morning and then head to Rochester, New York. We stay in another hotel (same 15 trips from car to hotel)until Friday. We got the keys to the new house on Friday. Thank God. I don't think I could of lived out of my car or a hotel a second longer.

So yes we are finally here! I will post some pics or video of the house and our boxes...soon. Stay tuned!

Longing for Normalcy and Organization

Okay so I was so excited to get all packed up for our big move although now I have discovered that living in the house with all these boxes is pretty difficult. Mostly everything in the house is packed except for a few dishes, clothes, and all the toys. I thought that I could let go and not clean and organize the toys anymore since on moving day I will just be throwing them all in their toy boxes and putting them on the truck. After like 2 days I couldn't take it. I had to go through each room and put everything back in its place.

The countdown has officially begun. This is the week it all begins. My hubby comes home on Wednesday and the trucks get here on Thursday. Then we spend the weekend packing them up and cleaning the house. Monday we will most likely start to drive north. Its a full 20 hour drive and we will most likely stop once at a hotel. If we can find a place that will take our large crazy bunch!

I just cannot wait to get to the house and be all together again. Its gonna be pretty crazy but so much fun! I love unpacking and organizing everything. Crazy I know.

Okay well I am off to bed. I am one exhausted Mama!

Cameron doing tricks

Lately Cameron (my 4 year old) had been working on some tricks. When he tries something he sticks with it til he gets it. So the first trick was winking. Easy enough. Next was thumbs up. Okay again totally easy. Lastly was rolling his tongue. Now this one took a while longer and a lot of practicing in the mirror. Finally he mastered it. The funny about this is that now when I say Cam show me your trick he does all 3 of them together. Here is a pic of my silly boy...

You may not be able to tell but he is winking.

Here is Zachary trying to copy his big brother...

And Ryan too...

He was not having any of it!

Okay more later,
