Ok, this week over at
The pictures have a hat theme!
Put up your best hat pic, link to their site,
and maybe you'll win!
No pics to share?
Go check out all the cute faces-with their hats-anyway!!
This one should be familiar
(since it's from about 3 posts ago!)
It is Emmie in her hat from Mimi.

So sweet.


In other blogging news...
I wanted to mention that today is Kelli's 100th post!

The return of Not Me! Monday-YAY! (actually posted LATE Sunday night)



I think we are all not glad to be back to our NMM admissions!!
Unwelcome back, MckMama! So totally not glad to have you back! :)
Check out what MckMama and everyone else have not been doing this week at
Miserably not happy that you and Stellan are home and well!!
Having boys is really not a continuing adventure-with no surprises or comic relief in sight!
That said, I did not have the joy of saying,
"Jacob, we do NOT karate chop our little sister in the head!" or,
"NO, Noah! Emmie cannot have grapes!
But thank you for sharing-that was sweet!"
Also, I did truly did not have to clean human poop off my PORCH because
Noah totally does NOT take his diaper off all the time once in a while-
especially not when he has poo-poo! He also would not smear it on the porch
or proceed to walk through it! And I would never just wipe it up with a baby wipe.
I totally did not let the boys watch Mulan over and over just because they love to
sing the songs and do the karate motions-
and it is not completely cute or funny or sweet.
I have not been trying to tape it ALL week!
They do not seriously become camera shy as soon as I try!
Even with my phone!
I did not take ALL 3 of the little ones for shots on Wednesday-
to the Health Dept, no less!
It was not FREE immunization week at the Health Dept and we were not totally
in and out of there in just an hour! I was not completely amazed and thankful!
Free and fast!
No way I'm grateful for that!! However, all 3 of the little immunized ones
have not been OVERLY fussy and sometimes just downright miserable ever since.
They do not all have huge, red knots on their legs,
and have not been running fever off and on.
I am not more exhausted than I ever knew a person could be
because I do not have an (almost) 11 month old baby girl who absolutely refuses
to sleep through the night. She does not want to nurse EVERY TIME
she wakes up-which some nights is every 2 hours or so-
and I am not so unbelievably zonked that I just give in and nurse her.
Nope-NOT ME!
I would never cave so easily! I have also not discussed with Paul about:
1. Moving ME out of the bedroom (sad that Paul and I would be giving up our bedroom-
he hasn't been sleeping in there since Dec!)
2. Moving Emmie upstairs cause I totally want to run UPSTAIRS every 2 hours at night!
3. Moving Emmie into the laundry room
OR
4. Investing in lots of Benadryl
(Come on, folks-give me a break-it was a JOKE!)
Seriously, though, ANY advice on Emmie would totally not be appreciated!
I truly am not the most tired I've ever been in my life! And, I'm not
thinking that maybe I should stay off the roads cause, you know,
zonked driving is drunk driving!
And on that note, Emmie is just not already fussing
for the first time this evening-
just 2 hours after putting her in the bed.
Paul did not volunteer to go try to get her back to sleep,
which is not very sweet. I do not wish him the best of luck-although I'd love
to not be a fly on the wall when he decides to give in and just nurse her!
LOL-NOT!!!

Beautiful baby bonnet!

Here are the pics of Emmie in her new bonnet (I just like the word bonnet!! :) that we won thanks to Mimi's great contests!
I wanted a big grinning shot, but as she's not too fond of grass, and still isn't sure about hats either, grins were not high on her priority list. These are the best we could do for now. (But they're pretty darn cute, if I say so myself!)
These two were the closest I got to a grin! When she wasn't trying to get her legs off the grass, she was trying to get the hat off her head!
And she did now and then :)
But then we found a leaf...
and managed to stay distracted enough
to leave it on long enough for me to get...
this one. I love it. And I love her.
And I really love the bonnet. :)
Thanks again, Mimi!
TTFN,

P.S. Is anyone else having trouble posting pics? Blogger's giving me fits with spacing and arranging! I've been tring for 2 days to put these up!!

Bouncin Wild!

Yesterday was Jacob's first field trip!
We went to Bouncin Wild-a new bump-n-jump place.
As I got ready , I realized I didn't have a single sock that
didn't have at least one hole in it
(insert red face here,)
so our first stop was the Dollar
Store to buy me some cause you have to wear socks to play
Then we stopped at the Chevron for some
totally stinkin delicious not on my diet Krispy Kreme doughnuts,
a Coke for me, and a Bug juice for Jacob.

We arrived at Bouncin Wild shortly after the bus, and the fun began!
Climbin' up...


And sliding back down...


over...

and over...
and over...
and over...
till mom stops you for pics with her...
and Colby and Henry!
We had a blast.
I actually have more pics, but blogger is giving me fits with the pics tonight! :(
BTW, Kelli, I took several other pictures of Henry. If you will send me your
email address, I'll send them to you!
TTFN,
