The Biggens...

Kevin has been into these new toys, Bakugans. Its a cartoon, its toys, its a game, its accessories, its awesome. Apparently. Walmart, Target and K-Mart can't keep these things in stock. This is what he spends all of his allowance money on, this is what he talks about. This is what he wants to play all the time. Cameron couldn't have cared less.

Until today.

We went to good ol' Walmart, and they actually had some! They were picked through, and in a messy pile all over the shelf, but they were there, and there was one that Kevin didn't have. Cameron wanted one too. Really wanted one. So they both picked one out, and there went $10 I'll never see again. So they get home, and they play Bakugans, and they talk about Bakugans. Kevin is so excited Cameron is into it, he could probably just burst. They even hugged! Kevin even gave Cameron one of his......granted it has low G's, and will most always lose in a battle, but he was so full of love for his brother, that he gave him one of his precious Bakugans! That he paid for, with his allowance!

I'm so proud.

Nick...

Because he isn't in school, he didn't get his own post. So I figured I'd do one for him.

He is spoiled and high maintenance. He has started hitting, and scowling, and yelling and kicking. He doesn't sleep well, therefore we don't sleep well. He is stubborn and will. not. do anything if he doesn't want to. He has a short list of people he likes, and doesn't add to the list often. Buuuuuuut, he is adorable and funny. He loves watching the biggens play the wii. He loves playing pass with a ball, bottle, wipe, diaper, kitten, stuffed animal, my keys, the phone, a sock, some pants, a dryer sheet, a shoe, gold fish crackers, a crayon, a pen, and the remote. He talks up a storm, when he wants to. He stands up, and looks like he's gonna walk, and then sits down. He gives real kisses, blows kisses and hugs, when he wants to. He fights diaper changes. He loves the bath. He loves Blues Clues and Nemo. He has favorite blankies. He throws his food to the dogs. He's a picky eater.

And I love all of that and more about him.

Forgetfullness

I literally forget everything.

When we leave to go somewhere, I always have to run back in the house for something I've left behind. Sometimes I get all the way out of the neighborhood, and have to turn around. I hate this about myself, and I honestly have no idea what I should do differently so I'm not this way. I lose things easily. I have a black hole that follows me around, and there are so many things I want back!

Recently I was talking to my mom about how she had kept my very first ever birth certificate, and when Mike and I got married, she took it from her filing cabinet, for me to put it in mine. I lost it, and have had to purchase 3 since. I cannot get into a filing routine, so I lose other important papers, etc. I annoy myself, and others. I'd like to be more organized, so the boys are organized adults, but how? Ugh.

I also cannot stick to anything, so even if I figure out a way to get my shit together, I'll stop doing it after 2 weeks. Except for the diet I'm starting tomorrow. ~eyeroll~ I need ginseng. Or ginko? I can't remember.

The neighbors are moving..

tomorrow.

We bought this house in 2006. Cameron was just over 2 when we moved in. Next door, they have 3 kids, a 10 year old boy, an 8 year old boy, and Cameron's best buddy, Ella, who's 4. They have always been best buddies. And they're so cute together, both blond hair, blue eyed cuties. Anyway, they are having a new house built, and they close on their old house tomorrow. Cameron knows shes moving, but I don't think he gets that she wont be here at all. He doesn't remember living anywhere else but here, so he doesn't remember not having her right next door. Very sad. I get choked up thinking about how he'll feel when it really happens. I'm hoping we can work something out so that way he can see her regularly. They go to the same preschool, in different classes, so at least they'll see each other then.

:( poor Cam.

Things I hate...

or dislike strongly.

• Swallowing gum. It feels like its stuck in my throat for days.
• Hair in my mouth. gross
• All of my skinny clothes. I should get rid of them, I'm just too damn lazy.
• Winter. I can feel it coming.
• Jacks Big Music Show.

I'll come back to these I'm sure. Apparently these are the things annoying me today.

Cameron's 1st day in Pre-K....

So Monday was Cameron's first day of Pre-k 3. (3 meaning 3 days a week). Last year he was in preschool, and so pre-k is the next step. Both classes are the same teacher, Miss Kara, and Kevin had her for 2 years too. He was excited, and we had been counting down the days till he went back to school.

His shirt says "all my great ideas get me into trouble". so true.

Those are 2 of the 3 little girlies in his class, Lucy with the pigtails and Julianne in the pink. Cam is such a ladies man. He did great, and loves that it's 3 days this year instead of only 2. I cant believe how fast they are growing up.

eh.

I've got nothing really to talk about.

I lost 6 pounds recently, but I think its back. I'm bloated like a mutha, too much sodium or something. I need me some lipo.

Kids are good, Kevin loves school and Bakugan. Cameron's loving school and Miss Kara. (I'll post a Cameron's first day of preK-3 post tomorrow) Nick is getting used to Sean (my nephew) being around everyday, and needs to sleep for the whole night, not just most of it.

Its fall. It was a crisp fallish day today. Kids wore pants to school. You know its over when the kids start wearing pants. I'm just glad I'll have to shave less. Mike is somewhere cringing at the thought, I'm sure.

anyway, blah.

Sick..

Cameron and I were sick Friday. Cameron with a fever and the blahs. I was making frequent trips to the bathroom.

Saturday, Cam felt better, I was still iffy. Kevin started with a runny nose and the sneezes.

Sunday, Kevin's got a cold, me and Cameron are better.

Today, Kevin is worse, fever and runny nose, and Nick has a fever and the blahs. And now Cameron has the poops.

Fantastic. School has barely started and already the germs are running rampant through the house.

If you're wondering where the picture at the top is from, Mike and the neighbor went on a hike up Mt Chocorua on Sunday. Those are the beautiful NH white mountains! :)
