The fourth

I finally found something my son is afraid of, Fireworks!! We decided we weren't going to one of the big shows in case he got scared. That turned out to be a good plan. So my sister and I went and bought about $40 worth of fireworks to shoot off at the house. He liked the sparklers, they were pretty. The first time we lit one of the other ones he took off running for the house. Then he came and hid behind me. So I picked him up and held him. He was better there and managed to watch three or four more. Then we did this one that made a horendus whistling noise. The hellion was done after that. He looked at me and said "mommy, I done. Go inside now!" I was proud of him. He stuck it out for a while. Now he is asking when we are going to do more.

Thought of the Day

I have finally figured out the day I took the wrong turn that landed me here, hating my life. It wasn't the day I got my first credit card or the day I met my ex-husband. No, this goes back much further than that. The day of doom happened when I, in all my innocence, decided boys didn't have cooties. Money isn't the root of all evil, men are.

My son's room

My sister asked the other day if she could paint my sons room while she is staying with us. Let me rephrase that, she basically told me she was painting his room. She also said her and my brother's girlfriend had a lot of ideas. Okay, so do I get a say in what you do with MY son's room?! Let's just say I was not very receptive at first. Now I am starting to warm up to the idea. I get to do the fun stuff like shopping and picking out colors and matching decor. She gets to do all the labor like painting and moving furniture. Yeah, I can handle that. So I started looking for stuff today. We are going to do a sports theme for his room. The kid is obsessed with sports already and he isn't even three yet. I have found a ton of cute stuff, most of which I can't afford. I can dream though. The one thing I haven't found is a cute comforter and sheets. I just don't like any of the ones I have seen so far. My dad is buying him (well giving me the money to buy him) a twin size bed. So now I am on a quest to find him some cute sheets that go with our theme. Shouldn't be too hard, right?!

Look at my new pretty banner!!

Isn't my new banner awesome! I will have to say I did not make it. I am not that creative. My good friend Lisa made it for me. She is rockin'. LOL! Check out her blog at From Diapers to Dating and her invitations and announcements at Otto Creations.

My brother

My brother is crazy when he gets bored. Here are a few videos of him and some kids swim rings.

Just some pictures

To Babyland we go!

I am so excited! I am getting my son tomorrow and I am going to see two new babies! Two good friends of mine just had babies two weeks ago. I can't wait to see them. I can't wait to see all the kids actually. Being around the newborns is going to be really hard. I want another baby so badly. It doesn't help that my sister is going and she is dying for me to have another baby too. It will be great to have the hellion back and he will love hanging out with all the other kids. He loves babies too. Should be a great weekend!
