The best root beer!

I have found the best tasting root beer ever. I was shopping at the Andersons one afternoon and ran across a sale on this root beer. Normally I just buy A&W or IBC or something but I thought I would be adventurous and try this brand. Now I am addicted to the stuff! It is called Sprecher Brewery Root Beer Soda. I can’t seem to get enough of the stuff and Costco sells it by the case! YUMMY!

Im in the mood for food!

I’m in the mood for Chinese food today.  I think I will have my husband get me some chicken fried rice from my favorite Chinese restaurant..Panda House!  I wish my best friend Tanya was here to share it with me  🙁

Books Books Books!

My husband and I have always thought it was very important to read to the boys. We also like to refresh their choice of books as often as we can with a visit to Barnes & Noble. They have a really nice selection of books for kids and its easy to find books in their age range. Just last night we took the boys to Barnes & Noble and picked them up four new books and one about going to bed. It was the first night that we read them a bed time story after their baths. It was so cute watching them laying on their stomachs and listening intently to the book. Read to children, it is so important! It helps them develop language skills, and it it is spending valuable quiet time with them.

It’s a TRUUUUUCK!!!

Monkey is fascinated with anything that has wheels these days.  For the longest time he would call everything CAWWWS or better knows and Cars.  I started trying to differentiate between cars and trucks for him.  For awhile he would just continue calling everything a car and then one day he said TRUUUUCK! And so then everything he saw became a truck!  Well as a proud Momma…I am happy to say he can now tell the difference!  We were looking through a book and he called the fire truck “TRUUUCK” and the van “CAWWW”…close enough!  Kids amaze me!

Monkey See Monkey Do

Kids are like little sponges I tell ya.  I was sitting out on the porch swing the other day and I was telling Monkey “no no” to something he was getting into.  I always point my finger and say “no no.”  Well just as I did that, Bubs turns around and goes “no no” and points his finger the same way.  Although I was trying to maintain a serious look…I just had to bust out laughing!   It is funny to see little mirror images of yourself.  Time to really be careful in what I say!

Good TV Show

The boys don’t really get to watch a whole lot of television but one day I ran across this show on Noggin The name of the show is Jack’s Big Music Show and the boys simply love it. We have managed to record all of the episodes and they just love it when we put it on and they can dance!

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
