Happy Valentine's Day!

More like UNhappy Valentine's Day around here *sigh*

Short version is I have 2 pretty sick kids and a husband on duty. But I did manage to get semi-ok pics of my boys this afternoon in their Valentine's Day shirts.

I really NEED tomorrow to be a better day. I'm going to clean the kitchen and then attempt to sleep...probably won't be successful though until I get a text from Dan saying they're back and that might be a long time from now.

Today Logan's class had their Valentine's party since they won't be at school tomorrow. After we left we ran a few errands. I was chatting to my mom as I was driving, Logan was being awfully quiet. I actually thought he may have fallen asleep.

Turned around and I saw my chocolate loving boy had devoured a heart box full!

The pic was taken after he started to lick his fingers clean.

Uh huh, here I am playing catch up again. Might as well get used to it because it'll probably be a trend. Wait, it already is!

Day 41

Friday was the Military Mardi Gras ball!

My folks made the trip up for the weekend to watch the munchkins.

It was our first night out in quite a while and we had a nice time!

My feet on the other hand...well, I'm not sure if my pinkie toes will ever return to normal color!

Day 42

G comes to town and the boys know it means fun.

This trip she brought a giant bag full of crafts and 

fun things to do that were Valentine's Day related.

We made several crayon shavings in wax paper hearts,

I remember doing these as a kid and always loved them!

Now a window where our kitchen table is looks all pretty!

Day 43

Today was down right cold out,

even for southern Alabama!

The wind chill was just 17* when we woke up, brr!

The cold outside, the colds all the boys have, Daddy being at work,

and Mommy still being tired meant it was a great day to lounge on

the floor in PJs having a good time with each other. 

Hopefully tomorrow they'll all wake up feeling a bit better!

It was Logan's school picture day today. He was very worried about how he looked and apparently had a near meltdown when a girl at school messed up his hair. Mrs Carrie said they brushed it though which made him feel better. Before school this morning he was asking to hold Keighan, love the moments like that!

 Tonight was also Bunco/LCR, woo hoo! We bring something to munch on each time and I think we spend as much time eating and chatting as we do actually playing anything. Since we're in full swing of Mardi Gras I decided to tap into my festive side and make Mardi Gras cupcakes. These are the 2 that L1 and L2 ate tonight.

I'm so lucky to be a mom to 3 amazing boys. Not a day goes by that each of them does not amaze me in some way. I was worried how L1 and L2 would adapt to having a new baby around, but the past 8 and a half months have just made my heart swell to watch all their relationships grow and bloom. We were having some fun yesterday playing on the floor when L1 got home from school. Lots of giggles and laughter from all. Next thing I know L1 keeps saying, "Mommy you need to put these on the Internet so everyone can see. These are going to be some cute pictures so you need to make sure people see them." Ahh, my little Doodle knows me so well!

Ah, Mr Keighan is on the move and getting moreso each day! Yesterday I bought some baby gates (somewhere along the way during out 7,264 recent moves the hardware to the others were lost). Unfortunately one of the gates had a broken piece so I need to exchange it. The other wasn't going to work where we wanted it. The third I had to order. So for now I'm constantly chasing him around the house making sure he doesn't eat the cat food or get into too much trouble. Little stinker decided he wanted to tackle the stairs today!

Happy Superbowl day! Go Giants (can't stand the Pats...living up there left a bad taste in my mouth for them!).

Since it's a day for football, we all decided to play some around here. Well, the other (and much more boring and lame) kind of football....soccer.

The bigs asked to go outside this morning.

They were still in their PJs...I didn't care!

So they played a little game of soccer.

Landon wanted to try out his new ball.

I'm pretty sure Logan is doing some karate pose or something in the 2nd shot.

Keighan decided he wanted to play too.

Yes, that is the ball in his mouth.

I was right there with him and got it promptly out,

too big to swallow anyways.

I think I've talked before about how he loves the tabletop Foosball thing,

he's always going for it but can't say I've ever seen him be so in the game before.

Get it...in the game. Ha, ha. Yeah, it's bedtime for me. 

Surprisingly enough Pratt hung out there with him for a few minutes!

Playing catch up again tonight since my Dad pointed out I've been slacking! Oops.

Day 34: February 2, 2012

Keighan peacefully sleeping.

He sacked out in the car and this was a successful transfer to his crib!

Day 35: February 3, 2012

-fatal error-

I didn't take a single pic, not even with my phone!

I spent a good chunk of the day over at the commissary in Mississippi.

Then we went to a friend's house to check out their dog.

Then the night was here and I was tired and in bed early!

Day 36: February 4, 2012

This morning we went out to run a few errands.

L1 really needed new shoes for school,

his ones from the beginning of the year and so worn out.

He had a very difficult foot to fit,

I've tried several times to buy some without him with me and it just wasn't going to happen.

So we picked these out.

Thing is....it's regular laces instead of Velcro!

This afternoon the hubs spent some time teaching him how to tie them,

he's pretty much a pro at it now!

He LOVES his new shoes and is so proud of them and his new skill.

He told me he was going to put them next to his bed and wear them everywhere now.
