Quiet kids and Maple Syrup

When the boys are playing you can usually hear them clanking around in the room they are in. The old saying holds true that when they are quiet they are in to something that they shouldn’t be. One day I left to go put a few towels away and run to the bathroom and when I came back our nice light colored berber carpet was covered in a whole bottle of maple syrup along with my son Bubs who had it dripping from his ears! Thank goodness for my spot cleaner! Nothing is safe not even for a minute HA!

The sounds of silence….

Have you ever just wanted a little peace and quiet? I just love to sit in the living room on some nights with the tv off and just sit there and listen to nothing. It is such a nice way to quiet your mind and thoughts! My husband argues that sleep is there to serve that purpose. Sometimes after a long day of noise, chatter and temper tantrums…it’s nice to just hear absolutely nothing!

Nervous Tick???

So we had a busy weekend and decided to take the boys out for a walk one evening. I decided to get an early night and Monkey was sleeping in our bed so I crawled in next to him and started to drift off to sleep when I felt something on my ear. I grabbed what felt like a crumb or something and realized it felt a little like a tick. So I wake up my husband, and ask him to hand me the flashlight. He fumbles around and knocks it off the table, so I just tell him nevermind but decided to get up and check anyway. I look around on the mattress and see nothing and decide to check under Monkey’s head. And sure enough there it was! EEK! So my husband quickly got up and got the thing and put it to its demise. Living by the woods means we have to be very vigilant about checking us and the boys for ticks because they carry lots of disease and bacteria. I decided to include some info on ticks in my post. They are nasty little critters! *All about Ticks*

YUCK YUCK YUCK

I miss my lens :(

So I turned my good lens in to get it repaired and the guy says it was running about 6 weeks turnaround for the Canon service center. I thought, ok, that’s reasonable so I let the camera store send it off. Well it has now been 10 weeks and 2 days since they have had my lens and well I am getting rather P-O’d! I cannot imagine what is taking so long. I suspect that someone messed up along the way and no one can give me a straight answer. I will be calling again for the 10th time to see if they know where it is. Someone has alot of explaining to do! Grrrrr.

Love to Run

The weather is finally getting nice outside so the boys naturally love to be outdoors. With the exception of the bugs, I enjoy it as much as they do! What am I gonna do when they bring me that first worm or frog? You are likely to see me running from the house LOL!

Go Away Sickies!!

Well we are on day 12 of being sick here. Both boys have been cranky and have had runny noses and coughs! I have been battling whatever this kung foo goo is right along with them. BUBS has developed wheezing and a cough so we are taking him to the doctor today. Most of the time they tell you its a virus but with his record of ear infections we’d rather be safe than sorry. Sigh..I hope it leaves our house soon!
