My children are hilarious!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share that I am back at work full time this week and ugh!! It is so hard to get out and about. I really LOVED staying at home and sleeping "in"--well until Luke woke up (around 7). Now it is up at 5:30 or 6:00 and off to daycare and then work. They are doing really GREAT!! Get up, get dressed, brush teeth, out the door. Thank you Nanny for fixing their breakfasts!!!!

The good part is when I come home!!

When I get home from work, they are soooo happy to see me. . especially Luke..he squeals and laughs and hugs on me and wants me to hold him lots and lots. Emy hugs me and is ready to go home and chill out.

Emy story--she fell on the carport and skinned her little knee (just below the knee really). Well, I brought her in the house (carried her), babied her a little bit (kissed her booboo), washed her booboo, put on a bandage and a cold cloth over the bandage and she says the SWEETEST thing ever--Mama, will you bring me my Bible? I thought she wanted to pray because alot of times I pray for her boo boos. . .

I said (thinking how sweet is she) "Oh Emy are you going to read it or pray?". She says "No, Mama I want to play my Nintendo DS and it is in my Bible case". . . and I thought WHAT? Ha! She puts so much stuff everywhere, I can't keep up!

I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit. . . she is a trip--I told her I wanted to empty her purse and I will one day--when I do, I am taking a picture of it all and listing the contents on the blog--y'all wait and see--she's gonna have back trouble when she gets older!!

Later y'all!

Luke & Emy singing!!

Beautiful weather in NC!!

She did some great kicking today at soccer!!
Go Emy!!
The wind blowing on the way home--ain't she cute??
Luke loves the wind--our windows were down!!

Today was post-placement visit #2 with Meg!!

Luke loves his doggy (thanks Susan G)
Yep, she wanted her hair curly again!!
Emy wanted her room to sparkle for Meg--so she sprinkled shiny sparkly things in the floor--pretty, huh?
Swinging in the beautiful 80 degree weather we are having in NC today!!
Thanks Meg!! We enjoyed having you today!!

Luke & spilled Pepsi

So, Luke wanted to try some Pepsi last night!! So I let him. I gave him 1/4 cup in a small glass and he dumped it in the dining room floor and then had fun sliding down in it. Enjoy this video!!

I know, I need to get a grip and stop taking so many pictures. . .

Taking a break (Cristian, Josh, Emy, Jessica & Tyler (neighbors of Papa))

He left some potatoes on Emy's desk too!

Papa (he's 82)--The kids think he looks COOL in his sunglasses!!
Funny story about these potatoes--the other day Luke kept disappearing with two potatoes at a time. Well, I finally got smart and followed him and he was throwing them into his crib and cheering & clapping for himself!! How FUN!!
Emy (after soccer)--whew!

AND STILL MORE PICTURES. . .

Emy had a BIG audience for this game!!

Back To Work

Well, I went back to work yesterday. Part-time this week. Full-time next week. Ugh! I actually dreaded it more than I thought I would.

I actually had an okay day. It went fairly smoothly--lots of typing to do!!

Luke & Emy both did great for Nanny. She said they ate well and even took naps for her!! Yay Emy! Yay Luke!

We'll see if Luke does as well today, knowing that I left him yesterday. But, oh my goodness, what a reception when I got there to pick them up. Hugs all around--lots of smiles from my babies!!

Later y'all.

Golf

For those who are interested--the golf we played was VERY reasonable! It costed me $13.00 for 9 holes and my mama $10.00. (she is considered senior--ha!). Golf cart rental is $5-9, depending on how many holes you play. We played at Knight's Play in Apex, NC. Here is the website if y'all want it!! I had way more fun than I thought I would!

Like I said before it is a Par 3 course, so even I did well. That was the first time I had ever played golf! I thought it would drag on and on and on--but we played speed ball--where everyone tees off at the same time--whoever comes closest to the hole, that is where EVERYONE putts from. . interestingly enough, I was the closest twice!! Yay me!!

We had a ball--ha--get it??? If you decide to go, have a great time--we sure did!

More golf pics!

So after 9 holes of golf (at a par 3 course) we went to Cracker Barrel for a wonderful meal and then on to Toys R US!! What fun!! You should've seen Luke & Emy. . it was their first trip there!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE PANGIE!!

For those of you who don't know us--Angie is my sister and TODAY SHE TURNED 40!! YAHOOOOOOO!! THE BIG 4-0. . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE PANGIE!! Emy has called her Angie Pangie since she could talk and the name just stuck!!

Angie wanted to play golf so the whole family (minus Darrell-he had to work) packed up today at noon and went golfing!! What fun. Enjoy the pics!!
