Awesome Thursday!!

So today was a good day for the most part! After Brice went to school, Kinnon and I spent time together and did some things around the house! We picked up Brice and I was told by one of Brice's teachers that they would be calling me to discuss his behavior the past two days! Seems he has forgotten his listening skills and thinks he doesn't need to clean up when the teacher tells him too among other things. I am hoping that since tonight is a special Brice, Mommy and Daddy night, he will be a better listener going forward. There are usually two reasons why Brice does not listen well, he is tired or he wants more attention and is jealous of Kinnon. Either way, we will definitely have to work on it so we don't get another call from the teacher!
Well, I took Kinnon and Brice to get their flu shots today and then dropped Kinnon off at Grandma's for the night. I miss him but I know he is having a great time there! Brice, Daddy and I went to the Walking with the Dinosaurs show which was awesome! The dinosaurs were so lifelike and huge! And even though they were loud and some scary to me, Brice had his eyes wide open and a smile on his face the whole time. I am so glad we took him, I think Kinnon may have even enjoyed it too with exception of sitting still for a good while!
I called Grandma to check on Kinnon and she said he ate and ate and ate and was fine (I was worried about how he might react to the flu shot) and is now asleep.

It was a good night and I think I should end it now by going to bed. Night Night!

Wednesday - Mommy Day!

Well today was Wednesday and that means, unless otherwise planned, Grandma picks up my boys after school and plays with them for the afternoon! They absolutely love it and I must say Mommy likes a little break too! I miss them when they are gone, but appreciate the time so much. Today, after taking them to school I came back home and tried to make some sense of all the coupons I have. It was a good thing because with the help of the lovely lady that created and manages www.southernsavers.com, I was able to save a lot of money when I went CVs'ing today! I bought $85 worth of stuff and only paid $25 by using my coupons and Extra Care Bucks! It was quite addictive too!
I also went through my winter clothes and had lunch with my honey. It was a good productive day. I picked up my boys from Grandma's and Grandpa's and headed home. Brice did not get a nap which made it an exciting night of wines and tantrums. As usual, after the normal dinner and bathing, we played soccer in our living room till it was time for bed. Night Night!!

Pork Chop Bone Tuesday!

So, today Brice went to school and that made it Kinnon and Mommy day! Kinnon and I attended the key parents meeting to talk about their Harvest Party at school. Then Kinnon and I just ran a few errands and played at our house before picking Brice up. At school, Kinnon and Brice got to walk/run around the pumpkin patch where we bought a good many pumpkins...a Daddy pumpkin, a Mommy pumpkin, and a Brice and Kinnon pumpkin too! Then a few smaller ones for painting and carving. Like I said a lot of pumpkins! Brice bought $4 worth from his own money!

After the pumpkin patch, we went to Pets Inc. where we donated some toys and Brice drew them a picture and gave the kitties and doggies $4 of his savings too! He was very good about giving up his money. Next stop is the bank to deposit the rest! Hope that goes well too. Kinnon absolutely loved seeing the kitties and petting the kittens and puppies!

We grilled pork chops tonight and had my banana pudding for dessert. The kids loved it. Brice had 2 helpings and still wanted more, he hardly looked up from eating the whole time! I would expect this from Kinnon, the bottomless pit, not from Brice! He really enjoyed it though! Wish I had some pics for you of everything but only got a pic of Brice knawing on a pork chop bone. Hope you all have a good night!

Harmon's Tree Farm

This past Saturday we took the boys to Harmon's Tree Farm for some good ole Fall FUN! It was Kinnon's first hayride and I think he loved it. Brice, on the other hand, loved being off of the hayride and playing with everything else!

Monday's happenings!

Today was Kinnon's day at preschool! The plan originally was to have him go once a week, but he was having some difficulty adjusting, separation anxiety, so we decided to try him out two days a week. As before, he cried from the moment he set foot in the door! Poor guy, I feel so bad leaving him but I know it will be good for him in the long run and for me. Since Kinnon was at school, it was a Brice and Mommy day today!

Our chosen activity was to count his money from his change jar. He was pretty good sorting thru the quarters, dimes, etc. But when we were done sorting, he just wanted to play with it while Mommy counted. This made for a real fun time! We counted $33, wow! I think the kid has more money on him than I do! He decided, with my help:), that he would deposit $25 in savings, spend $4 on a pumpkin from his school, and donate $4 to Pets' Inc. The sad thing is we spent so much time doing this, before we knew it it was Little Gym time and no time to go to the bank and Pets' Inc! There is always tomorrow!



Well, we picked up Kinnon and surprise! He was having a grand ole time in class! He was excited to see us though! No wonder he had fun today, there was a birthday celebration with cupcakes for a classmate of his. According to his teachers, he had two cupcakes himself!

On our way out, Grandma was passing by and stopped to say hello. She ended up whisking Brice away for a few hours to go have fun with her and Aunt Sharon. Seems like he did have fun b/c when he got home he took a nap! Those are becoming few and far between these days!



Well, the boys are incredibly blessed b/c they were able to see both Grandmas today! Grandma Connie and Grandpa Cham surprised us on their way back from Asheville and they had dinner out with us! Good deal, Mommy did not have to cook tonight. However, I did manage to make some Mac n Cheese that I was already making for a friend and some Banana Pudding. So I guess I was still a homemaker for the day!



A little rough patches, but all in all I'd say it was a pretty good day!
