There were two in the crib.....

So my kiddos let me sleep until almost 8 this morning! Right about 7:50 I heard Meli chattering in her bed and then I heard Kyler's door open. So I started dragging myself out of bed. :) When I finally made it out of my room this is what I found......

As soon as I walked in Kyler stood up and looked at me with an uncertain expression - he thought I was gonna be mad cause I've told him not to get in Melissa's bed. But I just had to laugh and ask if I could take a picture! :) Did you notice that Melissa had already taken off her pajamas? I'm just glad Kyler went in there before she took off her diaper and wet her bed!

Scary movie and funny comments

So Disney's matinee movie club is doing this thing over the next couple months where every few weeks for one week they are showing an older Disney movie club every morning at 10 am. A couple weeks ago they showed Mulan. This week it's Tarzan. I loved Tarzan the one time I saw it when it came out. I thought, hey, Kyler would like to go to the movies! I'll take him to see it! Yeah, not a good idea. He was terrified of Sabor, the leopard in that movie. We had to leave about 30 minutes into it. If I'd really remembered how the movie went I probably wouldn't have taken him - it was pretty intense and made me a little nervous. No wonder he was scared.....

Oh well, we'll try again when they show Cars in April. He's seen that one about 20 million times so I'm sure he won't be scared of it on the big screen. :)

Recent comments I've heard from my goofy almost-4-year-old:

"God found my other shoe, Mommy. I prayed and He found it for me."

(Melissa's blowing razzberries) "Melissa, we don't spit in the house or the car. You know better." (She does it again) "Okay, that's a spanking!" (yeah, we had to have a talk about how he doesn't spank his sister even when he's pretending to be the Daddy and besides, since when has Mommy or Daddy ever spanked them for blowing razzberries????)

Today while we were at the movie he told me needed to go potty so we went out and he told me he didn't like that movie. He said, "I hope that movie is over for me but not for the other kids!" I guess he knew that the other kids liked it even if he didn't! :)


By the way, I am sitting here listening to my country songs playlist while I'm on the computer. Just have to say that I absolutely love "I'm Still a Guy" by Brad Paisley. Have ever since the first time I heard it. So hilarious.

My trip

Well, I've been home from Atlanta for two days and have now found the time to sit down and post about it. Let's see....highlights of the trip....almost missed our plane from DFW to Atlanta, that was exciting. Oh, and on the way home there was a Dallas Maverick on our flight. Have no idea who he was - just overheard a woman ask him if he played basketball and he said he played for Dallas.

Went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic and loved it. This is considered a highlight of the trip because I was really glad to get to see it while I was in Atlanta - Amanda was the one who got me into reading the books so it was fun to see it with her!) We got to go to a hockey game, which was really fabulous. Thanks, Amanda, for thinking of that idea! I like hockey. :)

Went to Medieval Times. That was fun even though our knight didn't win and wasn't very cute. Our server was REALLY cute, though. Really should have given him Amanda's number......

Played games and painted a picture (a tryptic (sp?) so that we could each take a piece home with us) Just have to figure out where to hang mine up.........

Enjoyed alot of girl time with my friends who I never see nearly enough. Lots of laughs and talks. Some light-hearted, some very enlightening.

I really loved seeing so many of the places that Amanda spends her time - now I'll know where she is when she says she's at home/work/church. :) Thanks for letting us come, Amanda! I had a great time! Thanks for going with me, Chara! I love you both so much!

Missed my hubby and my kiddos. They missed me, too. Kyler didn't want to leave my side after I came home and they both clung to me when I dropped them off at their classes at Mother's Day Out on Tuesday!

In exactly one week I will be at the airport preparing to board a plane with Chara headed to Atlanta to visit Amanda! I'm so excited to get to spend almost a week hanging out with my two very best friends! We haven't all three been together since the night before Melissa was born, which, unbelievably, was almost 2 years ago. I will miss my babies and my hubby, though, of course. I haven't slept away from him that many nights in a row since we got married. :)

In honor of my upcoming trip, pics from the last time we were all together -

Chara and Amanda painted my toenails that night - to give me something to focus on when I finally delivered Melissa (none of us realized it would be the next day!) Can you tell which feet belong to which face? Chara's are easy....... :)

And a picture of my 9-month-pregnant self that night. I can't believe that little girl who looked like a basketball under my shirt will be 2 in about a month. That's insane.
