Sorry, TMI!

Shaun finally came home Friday morning and boy did he get a lot of hugs and kisses (see last post if confused)! He is now back to work today but we packed his four days with as much as possible...

Friday- Shaun had the boys most of the day while I went to back to back doctor's appt. First my ultrasound, which confirmed that we are still very much having a boy. This little guy is not shy!!! And then my regular check up, which confirmed that there is still no cure for my stuffy nose. My doctor feels horrible that she and the nose specialist can't fix me. She told me that I am her first patient with this problem... Not good. She also reviewed the ultrasound and everything looks great! We ended the day with great friends. Thanks for coming over Matt, Adriana, and baby Kylie!

Saturday- We attempted our first yard sale. They are a pain but we made enough money to make it worth the trouble! In the evening we rented a movie and ate pizza (because John's Incredible Pizza was incredibly packed). It was supposed to be a picnic in our living room but apparently pillows and blankets mean "it's time to tackle." The boys turned into WWF wrestlers. Shaun also had a late softball game and he hit two home runs! They of course won!

Sunday- We went to church in the morning and then headed to Sea World. We met my brother and some friends, Zac and Amanda, there. It was a relaxing day. Story time: They have a great toddler area which used to be Isaac's favorite and is now Parker's heaven. Well, Parker took all the moves that big brother used on him the night before and turned around and used them on all the little kids. He was tackling every kid (but mostly the 22 month old twins) that walked past him. I tried to get him to stop but everyone, even the parents of the kids that were getting taken down by Parker, thought it was funny. So, I let him continue. He worked up quite an audience and Amanda and I were laughing so hard! I was a little embarrassed so I didn't even think to take out the video camera! After dinner at Souplantation, we put the boys in their pjs and they fell asleep on the way home!

Monday- This was a day of lounging at home and completing chores and projects. Five loads of laundry (and I only made 48 cents), a clean car, flowers and greenery planted, clean sheets for all, and a mowed lawn. We also took Shaun to the circus park and fed the ducks!

Ahhh, what a week. I must say that the four days Shaun was home went by a lot faster than the four days he was gone!

Today was a  very typical day in our house. I thought it was worth posting so that when my boys are all grown and out of the house, I can look back and remember what life used to be like!

During my usual "night watch" (aka: my nose is stuffed and I can't sleep so I check the neighborhood and the boys), I found Isaac fast asleep UNDER his bed. Two o'clock in the morning and this is where he decides to sleep... Nice, new, big bed and this is where he decides to sleep. Usually he's just sideways or at the opposite end of the bed. I was able to slide him out and put him back in his bed. 

Parker woke up at 7:30 and then we woke Isaac up at 8:20. Of course they would sleep in on a day that we had to be out of the house by 8:50. We headed to BSF (Bible Study Fellowship/Tuesday School) and got home around 11:30. Now I decided not to take pictures of Isaac's every 10 minute melt downs, but I am going to document that they happened. I've said it before and I'll say it again... He is my girl! I just can't dress him in pink and make him play babies! 

After lunch and naps we enjoyed a few games of Where's Woody. Isaac loves all the I Spy books so we created the game using all one billion of his Toy Story characters...  

First, I set up most of his Buzz Lightyears and added a Woody. Can you find him?

Then I added the Woodys and hid a Rex. Can you find him?

Next, I added the Rexes and hid a Jesse. Can you find her?

Finally, I added the Jesses and hid a Hamm. Can you find him?

We never got to hide the Zurgs, Alians, and Bullseyes because little brother came and knocked them all off the shelf... Causing melt down number 76 for big brother. We'll try again tomorrow.

After returning books to the library, playing at the park (which involved a skinned knee), stopping by the grocery store, and dinner, the boys had a dance party. They love getting their groove on with Jana Alayra. 

Because Isaac wasn't too happy about his green elephant on the ground (which I don't blame him), I sent the boys outside while I cleaned the kitchen and took out the trash. We ended the night with baths and Isaac reading to Parker (sorry the video is not G rated... Isaac is also my nudest;} ). The boys were in bed and out by 7:30.

Wow! What a day! I'm exhausted! And people wonder what stay at home moms do all day!
