So part of my reasoning for beginning a blog was to share and be able to remember some of the funny things the boys say and do. I'll also share some of the funny 911 stories along the way.
This story has made quite the rounds already and seems to be a favorite. It's a prime example of how these boys are just too smart for their own good and how Jeff and I are doomed.
Last week during the garage sale chaos the boys kept getting in trouble for riding their bikes and toys too close to the cars and in the garage between the tables. Finally, they lost their bikes for a couple days and we had a long talk about needing to listen to grownups and paying attention.
Right after our chat I took the boys to go pick up pizza. In the parking space next to my car was a puddle of oil from another car. I told each boy to be careful not to step in the oil as they got out of the car. When we came out I reminded them again. As Jonathan got in the car he said he stepped in the oil!! I asked him why and he said he wanted to see what it would be like. GRRRR!!! So I told him his crocs were mine for a week and he could not have them back.
Five minutes after we got home he comes running out of the house wearing crocs.....I told him he wasn't allowed to wear his crocs. Jonathan says, "Oh, these aren't mine, they're Matthew's, I paid him a quarter to wear his!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sad part is it was MY quarter too, I dropped it when I paid for the pizza and Jonathan wanted to hold it and said he would give it back to me at home!!!!

The Grand Debut
To blog or not to blog? Good question. I have been trying to decide that for quite some time. I read and enjoy several blogs now and have decided to join the ranks, what the heck?
This is going to be a work in progress and we'll see how it goes. Summer tends to be a busy time for us so who knows how far I will get right away but I'm going to give it a chance.
Spent a beautiful day at the beach with the boys today. Not many people around yet but it was hot and hazy and the water up to 68 degrees according to my handy thermometer I keep in the "mom backpack". We spent a lot of time splashing each other and throwing buckets of water. The boys were adorable in new American flag swim trunks and flag t-shirts. They're getting really good at wearing their own backpacks to the beach so they can help alleviate me looking like a total pack mule as we trek across the sand. So far they only carry their own kid size towels, a bucket, a scoop, a sand rake, and a watering can. I still carry sunscreen (various spf formulas for both kids and adults), bug spray, my towel, snacks galore, the aforementioned thermometer, wipes, my book (why? I don't usually read it), drinks in the drink cooler, my chair and cell phone and keys. There has to be an easier way!! It's totally worth it.
The boys are learning the words to Jimmy Buffett songs as we travel around town, makes for lots of fun in the car and is helping me stay sane instead of hearing their other "favorite" songs repeatedly all day long. This mom can only take so much "Choo Choo Soul ABC's"!!
Jeff and his wonderful friend Jason began a huge project of moving the playscape from the neighbors to our yard over Memorial Day weekend. Cousin Jamie helped one day too. No one knew what a big job this was going to be. It's getting there but will not be finished until more help comes this weekend to lift the heavy roof onto the top. I sure hope the boys appreciate and play with this thing!
