Obnoxious

Spencer had already gone to bed for the night whenever he got up (for the 2nd time) to tell Tim & I that he felt "obnoxious". I said, "You feel what?" He said, "you know when you feel like you are gonna throw up...obnoxious." How funny!! AND, this morning I volunteered in his class and he ask me to come back and eat lunch with him. I told him that I would come home and check on Sawyer and Saxon and that we might come back and eat lunch with him. Well, when I picked him up after school he said that he didn't eat his lunch because he was waiting on me to get there. How bad do I feel? But sometimes, especially at school when I am leaving, it's easier to say maybe than no :)o

Happy Birthday Tim

Happy Birthday to Tim! It just dawned on us, now that the kids are in bed and everyone is settled down for the night that we didn't get any pictures of Tim today. We had soccer this morning and then a much needed lazy day at home. I'll be sure to take one tomorrow and post! OOPS!

Saxon at 3 months

Saxon is now 3 months old...time is flying by! Contrary to this photo, he still has colic and periodically has crying spells. He also has not been acting himself, so I took him in to the dr on Friday to find that ears, throat and chest are all clear. Dr Finch said that it may be a little bit of reflux, so we are trying a new rx to see if that will help him. He weighed a whopping 14 lbs 2.5 ozs. Can you say chunky dunk?

We're still trying to determine who he looks like, in this picture....hands down...SULLIVAN!

But sometimes he looks like my dad and brother.

Good week wishes to all!

Lessons Learned this Week

We've had quite an interesting week, to say the least. Here are a few of the high lights;
~a hard fall on your face from the sofa to the floor will trigger Spencer's nose bleeds...AGAIN!
~AM sneezing and not covering your nosebleed will stain a white stripe shirt and cause reason for changing your outfit before 7am for school
~don't hit the snooze too many times when you are scheduled to work
~wallpaper picked by an 18 months olds tiny fingers WILL pull off in small strips
~when 2 boys are left alone and there is silence, someone (Sawyer) is usually locked in the dog crate, but Spencer said the gate wasn't locked (so much for mom pumping and checking blogs)
LAST BUT DEFINATELY NOT LEAST-
Cooking sausage biscuits in the microwave on 4 mintues will cause smoke to roll from the microwave like a chimney in December!

I hope you have gotten a good laugh from our week, because I did. We have to laugh, we have too much going on to cry over small stuff!

Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff!

Hot Mama

Spencer and I were sitting at the table doing homework the other day, while Sawyer was watching Barney and Saxon was napping. And out of the blue Spencer asked me what did I want to be when I grow up? I said, "A mother of 4 boys." He said, "well, what do you want to be when you are 80?" I said, "A grandma and great-grandma." He said, "And you will still be hot! With your stripe pants and black shirt (which is what I had on) wearing your pumps everyday." I couldn't help but lol. How funny is that? And what does he know about being hot and wearing pumps? Talk about making me feel good, since I am still carrying around 20 extra LBs! :)

Sullivan Billboard

If you have traveled any of the local interstates that have the LCD screen billboards, you may have seen this. DPS asked for pictures of those killed by drunk drivers to post during the "Sober or Slammer" campaign. We drove down Memorial Day and took this picture at the billboard on I77 between Shop Rd and Garners Ferry exits. Tim also saw the billboard in Charleston, so this was state wide, not just Columbia. Three years later and Sullivan is still making an impact!

Soccer time again

It's soccer time again, and I must say that I am kind of excited. I enjoy watching Spencer (any of our kids) playing sports. He has only had one practice, today's practice was cancelled due to the weather (which ended up being sunny). Seems to be more girls than boys on his team, so this should be an interesting season.

I'm not sure what is so interesting, but Sawyer and his new friend just had to check it out.
