Perfect Fit?

With Little Hauss in GA, we aren't getting to experience his fabulous funny stories and sayings everyday, but Gigi and Pop are!

Yesterday mom said she was in the shower when Little Hauss walked in the bathroom to go use the toilet (separated from rest of the bath area) and when he came out, he told her he tried on her booby holder!!!!!!!!! She said she about slipped and fell she laughed so hard! Let's hope he doesn't ever find my booby holder or we might not be able to find him!!!!

On the Bright Side

With all the sadness from the death of icons this week, I thought I would lift my spirits with an outing!

I got a mani/pedi with the MIL this morning! I think I will go shopping at the craft stores to see what inspiration I can gather for some new projects this week and then finish off the afternoon with a nap!

I have to be well rested because we are headed to the concert tonight! JR, I promise to take lots of pictures and get you a t-shirt! =)

Now, back to listening to my old Jackson 5 and the best of MJ!

Angel Pop Farewell

An Angel and the King of Pop all in one day.

Almost too much for this hokiegirl to handle.

Sigh.

Free At Last

He's gone. By my calculations, he'll be napping soon if not already! We wore his little butt out before he left!

He swam for over an hour and a half last night at the "big" pool and showed off his new diving skills as well as jumping off the big diving board for the first time (not to be confused with the high dive, but just a springier, taller board than he's used to). All this was after a birthday party at school with cupcakes! After listening to his ramblings and watching him just bounce off the walls, we asked him what kind of cupcake he had - um, brown, with brown topping! Caffeine OVERLOAD! He's good with sugar, notsomuch with chocolate! Good thing we found out before the pool - helped us make up our minds how long we would stay - as long as it took to wear him out!

Gigi was in luck too because today was "swim" day at school! They were swimming from 9-10:30, so she picked him up after that! He should be an angel for the ride down!

I can't believe he'll be gone for a week! We are excited for the time to ourselves, but we'll miss him! I'm pretty sure I'll keep myself busy enough the time will just fly by!

Camp GA, here he comes!

I'm so excited and so anxious all at the same time.

Gigi is taking Little Hauss back to GA tomorrow and he'll be there until NEXT Thursday! We will meet halfway for a swap then! She's been asking to have him for some time and she always said, when he was about 3 or 4 we'd be ready for it too! She was right! I will miss him dearly, but it will be nice to have some quiet evenings after work and to sleep in on a Saturday morning - watch me wake up at 6 anyway!
It works out great because we have a lot of stuff planned this weekend (imagine that) that we were going to need a sitter for anyway!
He's super duper excited and tells us everyday all the fun things they have in store! They will be teaming up with my mom's friends and their grandkids (all around the same age) for some adventures to the Children's Museum, pool, library puppet show, free movie, and even a picnic at the waterfall! They might even be able to squeeze in bowling!
Thanks Mom (and Dad - even though he'll only be around for the weekend)!

The Wedding Planner and then some

Just picture me as JLo in the movie the Wedding Planner only with shorter hair, a smaller arse (but definitely not smaller anything else) and no cute Dr. Steve to dance with me on that enchanted evening! But it was tons of fun!
Hubby is still thanking me for not dragging him along! Don't get me wrong, he would have loved to be there for the blessed event, but not for all the extras that he would surely have been coerced into. There were flowers to be cut, wired, arranged, and wrapped; yards of tulle to be cut and placed on everything, tables to be decorated; hair to curl and pin; and a marsh to dry up. Yep, the ceremony was outside at a quaint little Inn on Kent Island, MD, but the ground was mushy! The chairs would have sunk in and the poor bridesmaids would have gotten stuck! Luckily, after the day went on with plenty of sunshine, and a small rearrangement of seats, everything turned out perfect without mud splatters on the dress and sunken heels!
The bride is basically a surrogate little sister to me so I was glad to help her out and be there with the whole family to celebrate. It was such a fun and beautiful wedding (if I do say so myself)!
I was glad to be back home on Sunday with my boys! I'm sure they missed me, but that didn't stop them from having a great weekend. My parents were in town and there were all kinds of events going on that they could partake in. Mostly, Little Hauss was in the pool. He doesn't fall far from the tree on that one. I think we put in a good 10-12 hours pool time between Friday and Sunday. He's definitely taking after his mommy's side on the tanning! He's already darker than me and we're loading him up with 50+ SPF! He's also swimming!!!! Really swimming - with no floaties! He's so proud of himself.
Hubby also took Little Hauss to the local Relay for Life walk and let him run a few laps! He loved it and I think next year we will join a team as a family! We had a few memorials for our loved ones and they got to see them displayed.
All in all, it was a great weekend for the whole family!

Off again...

This time to Maryland! It should be a fairly relaxing weekend for me since I'll be Little Hauss and Hubby free for 4 days!
My bestie's little sis is getting married tomorrow so I'm riding up with their dad - just us, in a car all alone for 5 hours!!!! I'm sure he is trilled beyond belief and will either have me muzzled or sedated by the end of the trip!
I've been the "other" sister forever so he's completely used to my non stop yapping, but he's never been completely confined to a small space for that length of time with me before...should be fun!
Well, off to the store for some snacks before we head out...hope I can find some laughing cow travel packs!!!!
Back on Sunday!
