A Week With No Kids!!!

My mom came down and stayed with us for a week and then she took Mason and Aiden with her to Idaho for a week. My kids have cousins in Idaho that they have been wanting to play with and some have birthdays in the summer time and they usually miss out on their birthdays so they are up in Idaho visiting for a week. It's been really weird to not have to haul my kids around to go places now. I also already miss them. But at least this time I am home with Jon so he doesn't get lonely and we have a whole week to ourself with no kids which we are pretty excited about.

Trouble Makers!

Last month I got up and went downstairs and fed my kids breakfast. They sat at the table and ate and I went into the living room and ate mine and put on a movie on from our netflix list. It went really quiet at my house. So that usually means my kids are doing something that they shouldn't be doing. So I paused my movie and sneaked upstairs to see what they were doing. I got half way up the stairs (I didn't even hear them go upstairs to play and the TV wasn't up loud at all) and I smelt shaving gel. So then I started to hurry up the stairs and I found my two boys making a mess. They got into our bathroom upstairs and found my husbands shaving gel and sprayed it all over the place. They sprayed it in the bathroom, on the carpet, on their dressers, bunk beds and of course all over themselves. They also got our floss out and strung it all over the bathroom. Ha ha!! I laugh now cause it was pretty funny! But at the time it wasn't. I of course made both of the boys help clean it up. Let me tell you that cleaning shaving gel off the carpet is REALLY hard to do! Needless to say I no longer watch any movies during the day while my boys are wake. After we cleaned up the mess I called Jon to tell him what they did. All he did was laugh at me. I also told my mom later on that day what they did and she did the same thing to me. Oh I also forgot to meantion that the night before this happened I bathed my boys. So when they were done they both had to have a bath again and our house smelt like shaving gel for 2 days and my kids' hair smelt like shaving gel too. Boys will be boys I guess! Here are some pictures that I took so you can see what they did.

Aiden cleaning off Mason's dresser. You can't really tell in the picture but he has shaving gel all over in his hair.

The blobs of shaving gel have floss in them.

A New Recipe Plus A New Park Adventure

Today I made swiss crockpot chicken with stuffing and steamed broccoli for dinner. The nice thing was that I put everything into the crockpot and let it cook all day. It was great! Whoever invented the crockpot was a genius. I also finally got our jogging stroller out of the storage unit yesterday. So since today was a nice day I decided to take Mason and Aiden out for a stroller ride, a picnic and to play at the park where some of their pictures were taken at. They had so much fun there and they needed to run off all their energy. Which they still had a ton of it when we got home. :) Since my boys enjoyed it so much I think I am going to do that more often. I even enjoyed it. I sat at one of the tables that was there and watched them have fun. I was also reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown while keeping an eye on them. The park was empty which was also another plus. Most parks around where we live are swamped with kids so you can't really do a whole lot of reading cause you have to keep a really close eye on your kids so they don't fight with the other kids that are there. Some of you might know what that is like. Oh and the dinner that was cooking all day turned out really YUMMY!! If any of you want to try it let me know.
