I huge thanks goes out to Lori for figuring out how to change my header!!! I send you a million, billion thanks my dear friend!!!! I can't tell you how many hours you have saved me b/c I know that's how long it would take me. Eating up nap times, yard work, dirty dishes, mother's day out and not to mention sleep that I would have misused trying to fix this. It was quite the challenge and nobody knows why. If I had an entire day or two without any interruptions from a child or spouse then I might have figured it out. But if I had one of those then I wouldn't have anything to talk about on here. So, again I thank you, Lori!!! You rock!!!
i'm trying to figure out how to replace the header on our blog with a photo. it won't work i tell you! and it's driving me crazy!!!! i doing everything that it says to do, and what people have told me to do, but my blog won't let me do it. it tells me that i can't. how can a computer tell you that you can't do something? well, mine does. if anyone has any tips on how to fix this little problem, please let me know. i can only seem to get the photo AND the header that's on there now to show up together. i only want the photo. i will give you everything you need if you want to do it for me. : ) by that i mean my blog info so you can do it for me.
Saturday we decided to head out for the morning and it all started at Waffle House. It's usually a father-son trip, but this time Sophie and I got to join them. It was delicious!!!! The least greasy bacon, egg and cheese sandwich I'd ever had from there. I wanted another, but thought that would be a bad idea.
When we got home, the kids decided to go play in the backyard. Christopher loves to drive his little trucks through the puddles on the trampoline. (Our net broke during a storm many months ago, so now it's a huge eye sore.) He wanted Sophie to stand on the step stool with him. She didn't care to share as much as he did.
During a recent storm the boys pulled their ran jackets out and went for a run. This time Sophie joined them. It was really cute!!!
Here's what my back patio area looked like for several weeks. Dirty. Very, very dirty. The kids would drag dirt up from the digging area and dump it everywhere. They were filthy within seconds of playing outside.


Next we went to Target to kill some more time and then on our way home we saw this sign:
I've never been into any of the flea markets around here, but have driven by this one slowly to see what they have outside. This one in particular happened to be having free hot dogs from 11-2 and it was 10:55. We parked and went in to walk around and then went right back out for our free wiener. Well, Christopher had one. I was still full from doughnuts. If you have small children that like to touch things like mine do, don't go in these places. I knew what would, or could possibly happen and thankfully we made it out of there without having to buy anything.
This is what Sophie's hair looks like if you straighten it. Yes, I straightened a 19 month old's hair, but I've been dying to see what she'd look like if she didn't have her curly hair. I must say, I don't like it. It's not her. It goes with her personality. It's her trademark. Everyone knows her by her curls. If she had straight hair we definitely would have had it cut by now. I adore a cute little bob haircut on little girls, with a bow of course. But I think for now I'll keep the curls. I mean seriously, who wants to give up that?

We bought a new laptop and it came in this afternoon. I am soooooo excited b/c now I will be able to do things much, much faster than before. And hopefully make some changes to the blog that I haven't been able to do yet. I opened it as soon as it came in and plugged it in. Brandon is still asleep, but I think he's going to wake up pretty quickly once he sees what's in the kitchen. I just hope he lets me use it. I think he's going to be a little protective of it at first. We are officially a Mac only family now. Mine from college is 10 years old, but not up to speed and Brandon's that he got when he started med school is a PC that well, let's just say we can use it to level a wobbly table now. He said the kids could use it later to play games on. We'll see. I think I'm going to wake him up now. I can't wait any longer! Later!
"You better stop crying or I'm going to take Daddy home!"
That's what I had to tell Christopher on the way to MDO this morning b/c he wouldn't stop crying and Brandon was sweet enough to ride with us, even though he'd been up all night and could have gone straight to bed. We thought it would make the tired little man happy, but when he found out he wasn't going to play with William at William's house he lost it. He's been up a little later the last few nights and still waking up early, so I know he's just really tired. And all I could do was laugh when Brandon turned around and said, "Just go to sleep and take a nap on the way to school Christopher!" You would think after 3 1/2 years my adorable husband would learn that children do not sleep on command, but he still tries it anyway. Then he suggested we just keep him at home and put him to bed. I told him there was no way I was doing that after I've already paid for someone else to watch him for 4 1/2 hours. Oh, and there's the fact that he wouldn't go to bed until he would have come home anyway, so he was going whether he liked it or not. My husband agreed.
