Back to his old ways..

Ever since we came home from Georgia, Biggie has been sick.  He has been more reserved but very fussy. It seemed as though he would cry from dawn until bed.  He ended up being so tired he would pass out early.

Sunny Bear had Vacation Bible School this past week, so I was really able to enjoy some quality time with Biggie.  It is amazing how much different a child can be when they are teething vs. feeling well.  You forget the light they have in their face and the happiness that arises in them for no particular reason.  I enjoyed my week with Biggie and I had a chance to capture this happiness.

Let's not forget the beautiful artwork Biggie tends to leave around the house.  This is always a sign he is feeling much better...that and obviously he is not being watched.

Peek-a-boo.. Here I am!

Kids, fun and family have made time in my world fly lately.  The kids have been exhausted and exhausting at the same time.  We were able to sneak away for a couple of weeks on Memorial Day weekend (one of the many reasons you have not heard from me lately).  The kids had an awesome time, even if it did wear me out.  It is always nice to see and spend time with family. 

Memorial Day weekend we stopped off at Mr. Wonderful’s family’s house.  We were able to ride 4-wheeler, swim, eat, and play.  After that we headed to our hometown and enjoyed a week of fun with friends and family. 

The funny thing about the whole trip was that my family really didn’t believe it when I said Biggie was a handful.  They have now seen it first hand and will no longer deny anything I have to say about it. 

He screams at the top of his lungs anytime something he doesn’t want to go on..goes on.  He has also resorted to stalking me.  Anytime I am out of visual range he walks around crying or chanting “momma”.  I really hate taking a shower with a child hysterically crying and beating on the door.  To look at the bright side though, at least he isn’t sticking metal objects into the electrical sockets…yet. 

I think this phase and potty training have got to be the worse things known to man, and unfortunately for me they seem to come back to back. 

Back to what I was saying..

Being home was wonderful, it reminded me about all the things I miss about the south.  Let me count them…

·      Beaches

·      Sweet Tea..EVERYWHERE

·      Fried Food..EVERYWHERE

·      Friends

·      Momma

·      Mr. Wonderful’s Momma

·      Going out with friends

·      Marsh

·      Sweet Tea

·      Sweet Tea

·      Beaches

I think that about covers it!

One thing I do not miss is the heat.  I really hate when people up here in Pennsylvania complain, “it is sooo hot whiney whiney whine whine”.  I just want to tell them they have no idea what the hell hot is… hot is when your pool feels like a nice hot bath, or your shoe melts to the concrete in the WalMart parking lot.. That is hot!!

So glad to be back in my own space with all my stuff I love so dearly.  Can’t wait to head back again soon.  Hoping it may be permanent. 

Oh, and I graduated..:)

Coming soon...

I can't believe that it has been over a month since my last blog..  What have we been up to you ask?  Well here is a look at the stories coming soon!! 

P.S. I graduate college this week. :)

Where have I been?

Wow, I didn't realize that I had not blogged in quite awhile.  I guess life has been keeping me busy.

Biggie is doing much better these days.  He has resorted back to his old ways of climbing the kitchen table and hanging from the light fixtures, terrorizing the cat, dropping Legos and Barbies into the fish tank and running from me at any chance given.  Although he spends the majority of his days doing those things I just mentioned, he has grown into a sweet "mommas boy".  He is always looking for a chance to cuddle with his mom.

Sunny has been doing good.  Her new "big girl" tooth is growing in and she is constantly talking about her teeth and how big she is getting.  This is her last official week of school, but last night she was very sick.  Today she is doing much better but has a fever.  I really hate that she will miss school tomorrow but I really do not want her spreading her disease.

Just a quick update.  It has been raining like crazy here, so we have been cooped up yet again.  We will be getting ready for a trip to Georgia in the coming weeks.  The kids and I will be there for almost a month.  We have some trips to Alabama and North Georgia planned!

Happy Mother's Day!

Wishing all the moms out there a Happy Mother's Day!

May your day be calm..

hahahaha! That was funny huh?

When all is quiet, check on the baby..

Biggie has been getting into everything lately (more than usual).  I was working on some school work. And yes, it was due that day.. Hey, they are lucky they get anything from me these days!!

It was quiet.. a little too quiet!  I walked into the kitchen and this is what I caught Biggie in the act of.

He even said "cheese"! Which he never does!! And he is semi-looking!

Afterward, he gave me a few smiles!  And no he does not always have cookies on his face!

Is it just me or is his hair blonde?  Really blonde?

A new phase..

On Wednesday evening, Sunny and Biggie were playing.  He was laying on her and bouncing up and down.  All seemed well.  They were both laughing and seemingly having a good time.

Lately, it seems that these times come a some sort of price.  While they were playing Biggie put something into Sunny's mouth and out popped her tooth.  Before I could say a word, Sunny began to cry.  Freaking out that her tooth had come out.  I started shouting "It will grow back"!  Sunny was then excited that the tooth fairy was coming to visit and went to bed at a decent hour without fussing about it.

If only every night the tooth fairy, easter bunny or Santa would come.  Wait, then I'd be broke.  I think I'll just deal with the nighttime drama.

Here is Sunny so proud!
