Well, they're all like 5 now. And like they are like too cool for like words. At least like all words that don't like get prefaced with like the word like. Because Austin, he's all like, ah, and Hunter he's all like oh, and like they communicate like that. Don't know where they like picked that up, but it's all like driving Mike and I like nuts. Again, look back to the like bugging eyes.
This little man is so funny, and so sharp and so amazing. Austin is totally something, right now. Very sensitive, and emotional, and caring, and smart, and the word is AMAZING. He's in to being cool. He Jell-o's his hair daily because "Like the girls like it". Yeah, he's 5. No girl is worthy to be his woman, right now. He's reading books. Yes reading! Very little help needed on the big words. And he's all about being a jokester. He even owns not 1, but 2 Wooshie Cooshies. That would be Whoopie Cusions to you and I. I just can't get enough of him.
Now the little man below is getting huge. He's towering over his brother and is a full 7 pounds heavier than him. It helps when Austin is driving him crazy. He literally tackles and just lays on him. Very nice. He's still a grumpy guy, but so obviously by choice. It is easy to get a smile out of him, because like it or not, he's really a happy guy. He took his time wanting to learn, but he's done great. He's also one of the advanced guys in the class, and he comes home secretly singing learning songs from school. He hears it once, and he's got it down. Exercise is a bad word to him, so we're working on that one. What was once skin in bones is now chunking up. He's addicted to Star Wars, so instead of bike riding we are "pod-racing". Hey, whatever it takes.
Mama, well, I got the killer flu. I didn't realize how bad it was until I was in the ER. My potasium level dropped to a point that I went in to convulsions. Mike was on the phone with me picking up the boys, so he called 911, since I was all alone. Once I was rehydrated and my potasium levels were back up, I came home. It really put me behind at work, but my great new job says, "oh well, it will be there tomorrow". Yippeee. I'm used to working whatever it takes to get it done. It's a hard transition for me, but man, my stress level has really diminished.
Mike, well, it's busy work and busy hunting. It's amazing, the hours he works and all the times he's gone hunting, yet, I still feel like we are priority. Hard to find that balance. We went to Reno for our anniversary, and saw a good show, gambled entirely too much, and partied like we were in our 20's. Crazy kids. He took time off to take care of me when I was sick, and was amazing and getting the kids all cared for, bathed, homework, fed.... WOW. Just when you think guys are totally useless, they do something usefull, like open a jar of pickles. This weekend, he's off hunting, and lucky me we'll have full freezer of venison when he returns tomorrow. I hate the hunting, but at least he eats it.
Well, I think I'm all caught up. Well, that, and I made the 2nd cut of a design team search for I Dream of Scrapbooking. I wasn't sure if it was what I wanted to do right now. Now that I don't need to for Kitspirations, since they no longer have the store going. I'm still loving that message board, and am glad it's still going. I just love the ladies on there, they're wonderful friends. I don't know why I did it, the IDOS design team thing. But I really like the ladies on the IDOS board. Even a couple there from Kitspirations. It's funny how connected you can stay to cyber friends, but rarely have time for the human friends. Anyway, I love the challenges so far at IDOS, so let's see how that all goes. There's some nice stuff being turned in, let's see how worthy I am. Hey, at least it keeps me motivated and inspired.
As far as the 31 layouts in October. Well, I'm up to 2 already! LOL!!! I actually have some great ideas for some of them, so let's see how many more I complete. I'm trying to get my IDOS challenge to really match up to one of the 31 Scraptoberfest Challenges. The one above of Hunter was my, scrap something with a flower challenge for Scraptoberfest, but also met my IDOS challenge, which was to have some blue, at least 3 pictures and at least 3 buttons. The one above of Austin was a Scraptoberfest challenge which was to use a number in the title.
I'll keep you posted. Just don't hold your breath.
