Last Day of School

Well, we survived an entire year of preschool. The Spankys weren't sick nearly as much as I thought they would be. They had such a great time and loved their teachers. I just loved the part where I could be all alone in a very quiet house.

Gigi had her last day of work FOREVER yesterday. She has officially retired :) So, hopefully together we can think up some fun stuff to wear them out this summer!

Stompin'

It finally rained again a few weeks ago. So, we stuffed the boys feet into the boots they wore at Halloween.

They liked the splashing around in the puddles, but when it started to drizzle a tiny little bit, Carter & Davis were DONE.


Evan, on the other hand, loved every second of it!

Mother's Day

I'm usually the one behind the camera, but I somehow managed to look at least presentable this day. So, I had Kyle take some pix of me and the boys. (I know Davis needs a haircut!)


I was trying to find some other pictures of just me and all 3 boys. This is all I could come up with. It's from a little over 2 years ago. I will say that I am having more fun now with them than I was at that age. Although, most days I didn't have to actually get dressed or even wear something that matched.


Oh, and I promise Carter is not being smothered by the towel, he is just playing with it.

Anyway, I feel very blessed to have made it through 3 Mother's Days now with my 3 beautiful boys!

Trial Run

The boys haven't been to many exciting places thus far. Mostly because Kyle and I are sticklers for "the schedule" and the thought of them missing a nap is scarier than 3 meltdowns in a public place.

But, we are thinking about a trip to the San Antonio Zoo this summer (wow, we are getting adventurous now!). So, we decided to do a trial run and took them to Cabellas...hey the animals are real, they just happen to not be alive.


Well, the fish are alive and they had a great time feeding them and checking out the aquariums.




Of course, the highlight for Carter was the big pickup truck they had in there.


I can't believe it is only 13 1/2 more years before they start driving! Forget a college fund, I think I need to start an insurance fund.

A Toddler Mom's Dream Come True

I always make fun of Kyle for living by the tenet: If a little is good, then a lot must be better. This is especially true when it comes to glue and dinner portions ;)

Anyway, I noticed the day before that Target had their generic diapers on clearance for $9.50 a box. (Those little red stickers at Target make my heart beat fast!) The same size box of Pampers is ~$29!! So, I had him stop in while he was waiting on a prescription.

In all fairness, I did tell him to get ALL size 5 boxes he could find (thinking there would only be a few on the shelves). Little did I know he would ask the clerk if they had more in the back!


He said he got a lot of really weird looks while trying to manage 2 carts overloaded with diapers. Plus, he only had 1 kid with him at the time, who was arm deep in a box of Teddy Grahams.

I must admit, that it is really nice to not worry every week or so if we are running low on diapers!! Can you believe this will only last us six months though? Luckily, at least Evan will be in this size until he is in kindergarten (which is about when I will be ready to potty train them).

Now I just need a year's worth of bottled water/canned goods and our fallout shelter will be complete.

More Brotherly Love

The Spankys love to hug each other these days... at least I think that is what they are doing. They could be huddling up to plan how they are going to drive me more insane.

One Up-manship

Poor Carter fell off of our rock wall the other day and face planted on the rock bed below. Later when we went over to Gigi's house she said, "Oh no, Carter what happened??"

Carter said, "I fell off the rocks. Have to be real careful".

Davis promptly leaned over and said to Gigi, "I gotta hang nail."

He certainly wasn't going to let Carter get all of the attention!



Sorry Davis, I didn't get a picture of your "injury".
