Finish the Sentence Friday

It's Friday, thank the lord! 

My day started off with a trip to the dentist and a little grocery shopping....with both kids. I gotta say I'm pretty proud of myself. I made it through both without any yelling going on, at least not from me, there may have been a couple of screaming/crying fits from Carson but that's nothing new. Since I made it threw without wanting to kill myself, I decided to reward myself with a big 'ole diet cherry limeade from Sonic. Then we got home, the boys were putting popsicles in the freezer {the old style ones that are liquid first} when Carson decided to try to pull them apart and of course one busted open and went everywhere. And of course it was a red one so it looked like a murder scene all over my kitchen....and then I lost my cool. Guess I will add mopping to my list of things to get done today, thanks for that Carson. 

Back to the purpose of this post! Today I am linking up with one of my ultimate favorite bloggers, the one & only Holly & Jake to do their Finish the Sentence. 

1. I always pick…french fries over tator tots. I'm not a big tot fan, unless they are covered with cheese and bacon then I can't eat enough of them.

2. Look at the size of those...diapers! I opened a box of diapers that we had left over from Keegan to use for Carson. Same exact size, same exact brand but yet the old diapers were a good 1.5 inches smaller than the current ones. If I would have known that I would have used them a long time ago. Sorry about that Carson!

3. I recently learned....Bed Bath & Beyond will exchange your broken Keurig for a new one! Mine magically quit working one day, took it to BBB and they did an even exchange for a new one. No receipt or anything! 

4. Only when no one is looking... I adjust myself. What? The girls need help every once in a while with staying where they belong. Don't act like you don't do it.

5. I lost my....flip flops one time. 

6. I was certain I'd…want to be a stay at home mom. Then I had kids. And as much as I love them, I need to be away from them sometimes, like M-F during normal working hours.

7. There is not enough liquor in the world for me to....do a lot of stuff. I'm a scaredy cat. 

8. I just finished...putting half of the groceries away. Cold stuff is done, the rest is still scattered around the kitchen but I needed to recompose after the wannabe crime scene.

9. Why does everyone have to be...jealous of me?!?! Seriously though, no one is jealous of me. 

10. It's very rare when I...don't take a nap on the weekends. I love me a good nap but none of that 20-30 minute stuff. I need a good solid 1-2 hours at least. 

11. If I were a dog...I would not lick myself. Or eat trash. Or jump on people. What is wrong with dogs?

12. I don't believe...taking a banana to bed is a good idea. Get your mind outta the gutters...let me explain. The other night Carson came out of his room after we put him to bed. We heard him climb onto a stool in the kitchen & then go right back to bed. Didn't think anything of it except that it was strange. Fast forward to 6am the next morning, he gets up and has something all over his sleeves. Go look in his bed and there it is....a freakin half eaten banana, smashed all over his bed. ayi ayi ayi....

Remember Me

No, no you don't need to go get your eyes checked. Believe it or not I did in fact blog. It may have taken me almost 1.5 years to do it but better late than never right? I've thought about starting back up again for quite some time but never got around to it because.....well I' not really sure why. Guess I just didn't know where to pick back up at. But it's time to start again, I miss it. 

I miss writing. 
I miss the connections with people. 
I miss having my own little corner to vent, brag, share, look back at life.
I miss the writing. {yep repeated that one}

Let's play a little catch up on what has happened the last year and half, huh?

Keegan


 -turned 5, then turned 6
-started KINDERGARTEN....and is almost finished with it
-played soccer for the first time {and I think fell in love}
-learned how to read
-went to six flags for the first time
-has become "that kid" that is friends with everyone
-made a new year's resolution to "go to the movies more"

 Carson


-turned 1, then turned 2
-has become obsessed with Mickey
-is obviously no longer a baby
-is in full on "terrible two" mode
-knows how to get what he wants, when he wants it
-has become ridiculously addicted to daddy
-went on his first airplane ride

The Parents


-drove 1500 miles one way through an ice storm & a snow storm with two kids
-then drove another 1500 miles to go back home
-bought an apartment building & became landlords
-tried not to kill each other
-I ran a couple of 5k's....then I stopped running altogether and gained the weight back that I lost
-have made their relationship a priority again {this is so hard to do with kids involved}

I'm really looking forward to blogging on a regular basis again!
