Friday night pizza

"I'm making holes in mine like they do at Cosco".

He took the challenge and ate the whole thing.

This is for mature readers only: Ok, so the bad news first. Yes, this was my Friday night. All of you young pups getting cute and having a big night out...this is real life. Organizing socks. I kept getting after the big boys for wearing unmatched socks. They were thinking this was fine and dandy seeing as their big cousins do it....16/17 year olds mind you. Fine, but really there came a point where I had to see what was going on. Then reality hit: 67 unmatched socks. I have a designated spot for the unmatched ones out of the laundry and the stack had grown impressively-hence a little extra guilt to sit and "do socks". Thankfully we are provided with hand me down socks...but still a little taste of humble pie. I really try, honestly, I really try to stay on top of every single detail around here... So, here goes: the final story. I do believe after all these years that the washing machine does eat socks. I was in denial as are most of you--especially the judgemental ones reading this blog, but you should see my washer--it's huge!!! But just in case we find one in a crack or cranny...I still have my "lone sock stash". I think I have Jaiden's lost sock, Lisee. : )

So Brave

3 stitches and all done

So brave, so brave, so brave.

"Boys will be boys". And yes they will. Sollie Thur. night banged his head right into the wall and got a little "splitting open" action.

"prison"

It doesn't look like the little ones minded that they were made a "prison". The big boys wanted a little peace and quiet, so they tried to use a little psychology to keep them out of their room and far away. It was even Titus's job every few minutes to take them more toys to keep them happy.

Thanks Billy!!!

What a fun day! We got to visit one of the the Gig Harbor firehouses. It was pretty exciting to see the big rigs pull out and have their sirens on.

That is the cutest fire chief ever.

A little more cupcaking

Ok, so we are on a run here. I really do need all your help!!! Ok, so the recipe search is still on . . . but there are a few criteria: no box cake mixes and no yummy sour cream. This is because all of this practicing is for an event in Brazil that I am going to try and make 500 cupcakes for. They don't have sour cream and I can't do boxed mixes. Keep the recipes coming!

Wedding weekend.

So, we had the best babysitters and got to go out a little on the town for a wedding weekend.

Thanks Ian and Hannah!

Wedding day was a blast. . . Lukas ate enough sugar for us all and Titus didn't want to leave. I thought Titus hugged the bride a little too long personally. Later than night he asked me if he didn't get married would he turn into a monk. Darius said he would be like Luther even with his haircut. Ug.

Look whose 2!!!

Lukas turned 2 and look what he can do. Climb out of bed. Entertain us daily . . . and

He has now allowed out of the cart at costco for lunch. Yes, he fell on his head, but every single one of them has. I think I liked him strapped in better, but he was so happy.

Baby Boy

Someone is learning how to sit up. And he wanted you to see his new teeth.

"Take our picture, Mom"

Somehow they thought they were so cute and begged me to take a picture of them. They were posing for quite a while while I fed Roman . . . just waiting for the "shoot".
