Little monkey.

My not yet 3 year old, (in 2 more months he will be *sob*) sure does get himself into situations.

He's brash and reckless, and only after, does he realize he probably should've thought about it more.

Or maybe, he knows Mommy or Daddy will always be there to catch him.

Or really anyone.

Today was a beautiful day, down here in Louisiana.

It was a nice, breezy, sunny day. So I took the kids to Brownlee Park, which is a good 20 minute drive away.

Callie was a little more hesitant, it was her first time, she's still learning how to walk.
She's a little more cautious around playground equipment.

You'd think she'd feel the same about our flight o'death staircase. But that's another story.

At brownlee, they have these two fake rock formations for kids to climb on. One is smaller, and the other one is taller. I'm 5'4 and can't really touch the top. So it might be 6 foot?

Well, Stinks decided to totally follow a bigger kid and just climbs right up, no hesitation or fear.

But of course going up is easy, getting down? Not happening.

He seemed to enjoy being King of the mountain though. So I let him hang up there for a while. ;-)

Changing it up!

I decided to change up my blog a little bit! It's a little more fun, a little more colorful!

Last night Wilson and I stayed up, a little too late, to watch Wreck It Ralph.

I personally, loved it! A movie about video games?!? Sign me up!

The story line was very sweet, and I even enjoyed Vanellope von Schweetz, who's voiced by Sarah Silverman, who I normally find very annoying. But since she was voicing a little girl character, I guess her annoying voice, worked better than it does as an adult.

Wilson really liked getting to snuggle in bed with me, and would have little moments of wanting to jump on the bed, or crawl under the covers. I mean, getting a toddler to NOT move for an hour and a half, is just NOT going to happen!

But we had fun, and when the movie was over, Wilson wasn't ready to go to bed at all. He loved getting to just hang out in bed with me, and I foresee lots of more bed movie nights together. Especially, on weekends or when Andy is working a late shift.

It's so funny to me, how Wilson can literally stay up all night! He's such a life of the party kid. I thought for sure back for New Years Eve. We would have a cranky Wilson, but he stayed up the whole time! And probably would've stayed up longer!

Luckily he slept in that morning, but he was up at his normal time right now.

The kids are playing nicely, with all the toys scattered everywhere while I type, and Fresh Beat Band is on the TV playing. Going to get ready for an early lunch and dress the kids up in some GREEN today!

Lack of motivation.

There is a serious lack of motivation to blog. I know I have stories, and things I could blog about, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I blame two things:

My new kindle, and this app on my phone.




Oh, and I guess my Stinks and Sweets! They definitely keep me on my toes! With the weather warming up, I'm doing lots of park playing and walks with them!

I wish.

Tonight as I lay here in bed, surfing the almighty Internet, I realized there are things I wish for.

I wish that even if I had tons of money to decorate my house, that I would actually have the skill to decorate my house, so that it looked like you just walked into a pottery barn catalog.

I'm terrible at putting things together, let alone decorate a whole house. I guess if I really did have that much money, I should just hire an interior decorator though, right?

But really, I wish I had that ability to be able to throw things together and have it look awesome.

I also wish I had thicker hair, and be able to curl, and that I also could style it amazing.

Why must my hair be so fine, yet not that fine, but hold no curl, nor sit in any ponytail well??? Ugh.

Next up on the wish list is having my 19 year old body back. Two babies and lack of exercise. Well, it's holding up, but I think to my glory days and curse myself.
Why did I not wear skimpier clothes? Why wasn't I in a bikini everyday? Regret. I have it.

Well, they are silly things to wish for. But I guess I should be glad for wishing for silly things.

Time to dream of my pottery barn house, in my 19 year old bikini clad body, with my gorgeous hair, that I can style amazingly!

Super cuteness.

Put Callie in an outfit today, that literally makes me goes "oh my gosh"

It's a little big but I don't even care.

She has this little plushie that is also adorable, it's from a show called Doc Mcstuffins. We don't have cable, it's not on Netflix, but I caught a couple shows when we went back to Indiana.

Anyhow, she loves this plushie and likes to carry it around.

And I snapped a couple pictures of her and her little friend.

Random blogging.

Finding the time to blog should be easy. It should be so easy to sit in front of the computer, or on the couch, or in bed.

But it hasn't been.

My sweet baby girl is now toddling around everywhere and getting into everything.

My rambunctious toddler is adjusting to a new period in his life. He is learning and slowly speaking better, but he's still a little behind. He's realizing the his once infant sister is now toddling after him and being able to grab and take things from him.

Thanks to having a big brother to watch, Callie is doing things that took Wilson a little longer to figure out. And having two means double the mess.

The toy explosion that happens in the living room constantly sends me into a panic.
"What will people think?"

I have invested in bins from target, which have proven useful for doing a quick "Throw it all in there before people come over!!!"

I also ended up buying a toy box container from a local business that ordered Ikea stuff for you. (Closest ikea is 3 hours away.)

I'm in love. You mean I don't have to drive two toddlers 3 hours one way to go to a store to see things I can't fit into my car that I would like to buy?!

Seriously, best idea ever.

So enough rambling. Here are some pictures.

The gift that keeps on giving: germs

So far, I have been battling a wheezing cough that just hasn't gone away. It's been a couple days so far, I probably should up my vitamin c intake and eat a little healthier, but the chocolate and coffee calls to me.

So it's been almost 2 weeks back home, getting all settled into our house and routine.

The clothes piles are STILL horrendous. Like, I would probably curl up into a ball and die, if someone were to actually see our bedroom, where the clothes piles are currently, well, piled up.

Callie is walking around EVERYWHERE now! Ahh! I love it. She had started walking back in Indiana, but it took her a couple days to get re-adjusted, and is now back to walking everywhere.

We are trying to work on walking around with shoes on, but so far, it's confusing. She just stands there and will lift her one foot up and then put it down. Then lift the other up. Almost like a little sumo wrestler.

I'll have to record a video of it.

Wilson is back to being a picky eater again. He was doing fairly good at Grammy and Pop's. He really loved getting all that extra attention from his grandparents.

We are trying to sit down as a family and eat dinner together, when Andy's off work, but that doesn't seem to make Wilson want to eat any better.

*sigh*


Naptime is almost over. I need to go and pick up the living room for round number 2 of Baby Monsters Attack.

So I finish with a video of the kids dancing to Glee. Ahdorable!
