where did the weekend go?

the last couple of days have flown by and I cant believe that tomorrow is Monday, the start of a new week...already...
Yesterday was my moms birthday so me and the kids went to middlebury with her.  We went to "our" beach where the kids were super brave and floated and played and had a great time in the water.  Then we stopped at the a&w where we had a snack of french fried and a root beet float, and of course took some home with us as well  :) yummy!!
Today we had church and  while we were hanging at my moms my aunt called and invited us to her house to swim and play for the afternoon......so we decided to head up there, and the kids had a blast!! athena swam the entire time we were there, caleb found a battery operated tractor and drove all around their yard,my dad gave athena a ride in the go cart, and they had so much fun!
This coming week has the potential to be a week of lots of changes.....I will keep you all posted on those changes as they occur.....kind of excited, and looking forward to what the week will bring. :)

betty crocker kind of day

Well, today I did not get to sleep in like I had hoped, but I wasnt upset when I woken up with a "mommy, I pooped"  My boy is potty trained except for that, and he absoloutely refuses to go in the potty. He wants a diaper. i of course still try the potty but by then the moment has passed...all that to explain that he had been trying to go since sunday with no success, and we were at the point where we were gonna have to call the dr for advice if there was nothing this morning....so even though it was 6am I was "happy" (as only a mom can be and understand) that was the reason.  For those of you who are wondering, he also pooped about 3 other times today and is feeling much better, and his happy self again :)
Ok, enough poop talk.....
The last week I have been wanting to bake, but had other things to do, or it was honestly just too hot. last night I decided I wanted to do some baking, and got everything out for today...I made......drum roll please..
 a chocolate peanuty butter cream pie....sooooo easy, and sooooooooo yummy!!!
a pumpkin pie (Josh heard I was gonna back and put in his request)
a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for my mom (her birthday is tomorrow)
and, that's all I baked today....now that the baking bug is back I am planning some buckeye brownies, blueberry muffins, and maybe bread....but thats for another day.
Days like today I am so happy....my house is clean, my kids got along and played nicely and were happy, I got to bake, and still get other things accomplished as well.....this is how I feel every day that I am home should be, but the reality is......well, lets just say the reality is not quite that perfect :) LOL!
Gotta go get stuff together, tomorrow we are heading to middlebury to go to the beach and of course a&w  YUM!!!!
