Saturday Morning!

This is usually what occurs every Saturday morning. . . the boys wake up yelling for Daddy and then they want to eat cold cereal on his lap.

Funny Saying of the Day

Collin: Mom, does Gabe have a S-O-B?
Mom: Yes Collin, Gabe has a SUV.

Mom's Day!

At Collin's preschool on Thursday it was Mom's Day. I got to go to his class and they had a table set up for the moms with muffins and strawberries. Collin sat on my lap and gave me a homemade card and bookmark. He made me a placemat which he wrote H's all over. The teacher said he was very excited for me to come and I was excited to have some one-on-one time with him. After the snacks we read a book as a group and then hung out with kids on the playground. It was fun watching him interact with his classmates.

Just Mom and Me

This is what I spend the majority of my time doing, holding and/or feeding Hunter. This is why I can't get anything done, but I sure do love the kid!

I look tired don't I?!

Father/Son Campout!

Friday night Collin and Logan got to go on their very first father/son campout with people from church. Collin was excited all day and couldn't wait to go! They pitched a tent (there wasn't much space left by the time they got to the camp site so their tent was on a little bit of a decline so they were sliding in their sleep), roasted hot dogs, made smores, and played with the other campers. There were about 30 kids who went and Collin was so tired from all the fun that he asked Logan around 10 pm if he could go to bed. They woke up bright and early and had breakfast (pancakes, sausage, fruit, and juice) before going to Rock City where everyone hiked around. Collin and Logan got home midmorning and both were exhausted, but Collin hasn't stopped talking about it!

Miniature Golf!

Collin has a weekly job/goal chart with about 5 things he is suppose to do each day (listen, clean up, etc). He gets 0 to 3 stars for each one depending on how well he did. We told him that after he got a certain number of stars he could go golfing with dad, just the two of them. He had never been before so he was very excited. Saturday was the big day and what was so sweet is that he really wanted Carter to go too. They went to an indoor course that was glow-in-the-dark with an animal theme (we had a hard time finding a place around here). Collin even got a hole in one! After golfing they played a couple of arcade games and then went out to lunch. They had a great time!

New Playhouse!!!

Logan and I have been wanting to get the boys a playhouse for awhile. Every time one would pop up on craigslist we would call on it, but it would already be taken. We were finally able to snatch one and Collin and Carter are very excited. It was kind of a gong show getting it (Logan took all the car seats out of the van and drove 35 minutes to get it just to find out two of the pieces were too big to fit inside. He later had to borrow a friend's truck to go get them.), but Logan and the boys put it together and they spent a couple of hours enjoying it. Hopefully now they will want to spend more time out there (we don't have a yard, just a small back patio) instead of me having to haul everyone to the park twice a day.


We told them it was a knight's castle.

Goofing around!
