The Good and the Bad



Nothing beats a good bagel and some water. Ethan does this face where his puts his bottom jaw out , drives Kelly and I crazy, very mush dislike this look!
Two brothers swinging!
Sitting boy!


As usual we have been busy, today we had a 'Little Peanut' meet so we have been busy getting everything all organized. Yesterday morning I took the kids into the city, I decided i'd better do some shopping since the weather is getting warm and my one pair of jeans is too hot. I thought I was prepared, Kids seemed happy, everything was going well, but at some point when I walked into Rw and Co something clicked in both my kids brains that told them they did NOT want to be there. I had a HUGE stack of clothes to try on, Ethan was crying...tears and snot included. Wyatt wasn't crying he was screaming the death scream, tears STREAMING down his face (This is just his norm though). I continued trying on, they were fed, nothing was wrong besides the fact that they were bored and tired of being in the stroller. I kept trying on clothes trying on clothes, the kids were screaming, everything I was trying on was too tight, I was on the verge of tears in the change room. I was SICK of my kids and I am STILL not happy with my body. FANTASTIC. I bought nothing and steamed out of the store. (or as Thomas would say 'I Chuffed off'). The past two days have been incredibly windy, so windy that our garbage cans are falling over and really just not pleasant to be outside (Even though it was 24 degrees yesterday). THANKFULLY both of the kids fell asleep for three hours yesterday afternoon and I got to relax for awhile. I really haven't NOT had a break from my kids for over two years. That being said I started crying in the Van today just thinking about leaving Ethan for three days next weekend!

Today my kids were amazing. We got up early (As is the usual now, kids are getting up when the sun rises now). Headed of to Tim's for a bagel (he is off Timbits) then we headed to the South Common for our meet! The kids were happy as can be playing and laughing in the car while we distributed all of our items! Went to Old Navy after to do so shopping (Oprah had a coupon from the show the day before) so I went crazy, three pairs of shorts, four tops and something else...can't remember. I feel a little bit better about my clothing situation. We came home and did lunch. Today the wind has stopped but the Mosquitoes have arrived. There is NOTHING i hate more than mosquitoes (well besides snakes and bad guys). I just can't handle being outside with them around and I can't even imagine what it would be like if either of the kids got a bite. One the kids were up from nap Wyatt jumped and Ethan had a very artsy afternoon. I bought him some new stamps and some sparkle brushes (that only work on special paper...no mess). He sat quietly working on that for an hour. Then I brought out his playdough, and again he played with that for another hour! I was very impressed!

I told myself I would clean out my cupboard tonight (can't even see the floor) but the second the kids went to sleep I again found myself in the big green chair doing nothing....and LOVING it! I'm going to take Ethan for a good run outside, i'm going to bring the mosquito net for the stroller, might even consider walking around with a big bug repellent torch!
