Gee why dont you have pics of yourself?

Well I was playing around today and I took this pic and this pic is exactly why

1. I do not have a lazy eye...but when I take pics I ALWAYS have one..or look 1/2 drunk one or the other. Doesnt matter when/where/how many pics always do I look drunk or have a lazy eye ALWAYS

2. Double chin, nuff said

3. Yes that's a pimple, you know you saw it and gasped w/ horror. I never wash my face, no really not ever Gross, my poor face is going to be wrinkled up before i'm 30

4. My grey hair will match my wrinkled face. You cant see it b/c well it's a badly dark pic, that's the only forgiving thing this pic had for me

5. Apparently I need to go back in time and someone needs to teach me how to put on makeup...no really I cant even blend it in. Not that I have time when I'm getting 2 kids ready to go trick or treating..ah enough excuses..I've seen people w/ more kids walk out of their house looking like they stepped out of a damn magazine..learn how to do makeup, that's what i need to do!

6. why oh why is my face a different color than my neck...oh that prob has a lot to do w/ no 5

Well there you have it, why do I never have pics of ME and that is why
Someday I will be a great self pic point and shoot photographer but I will have to have lots of plastic surgery before it happens!

My Little Fireman :)

It's the wrong darn costume--ordered the BLACK one..got the brown one :(
Darn Amazon!
But it FITS, I guess that is a good thing. I reordered the black one but I tried this one on him just in case.
I still have NO SHOES for it and we go out tomorrow SIGH--I swear I'm not this sort of last minute person!




Well---Bad new is we may be here another 3 weeks
good news is that we MAY get a kitchenette hotel room! I HOPE SO, i'm tired of not cooking. It's got a full size fridge/oven a whole little kitchen, it's NICE so CROSS YOUR FINGERS I dont think i can go 3 more weeks on nasty fast food.
And in more good news, I ordered some shoes on endless.com and they will be here TOMORROW! Got to love free overnight shipping! YAY!

I got:

For Landon:


For Andrew:





And not from Endless but on its way to come live on L's feet

My Little dalmatian

Isnt he the cutest! Tried his costume on today and I LOVE IT! :) He'll have a little black nose :) Andrew's costume came today too but it's at my SIL's house so I may pick it up tonight and take pics of it tomorrow! He's a fireman, I cant wait to see it because it was super $$ so I hope it's nice!


So do we think black or white shoes? I was thinking some black cons but I am not sure his fat feet would fit in them!





Look at that little tail!

Toilet bowl bandit

That's what L is, any time the bathroom door is open he's off to go in there and try to get into the toilet bowl. It's his mission! I dont know what he plans on doing once he gets to the toilet bowl, I think he just wants to play in the water. I almost cant keep up with him these days he's so fast! Amazing those big ole thighs can move so fast!


Is anyone looking??


AHAH! Caught! (dont worry everything was clean and the baby was cleaned after the taking of this pic!)

Andrew is starting to get SO big, I put some jeans on him today and they fit, where they did need cuffed when I bought them :(


And a couple pics of silly L in the bath today, he LOVES the bath, loves the splashing. Amazing I have two little water lovers that sprang from me, a water hater. Yes i only bathe my poor child in mere inches of water (maybe it's the water hater in me)!




And for your viewing pleasure a video of the bath and Andrew's "potty candy dance"

Sicky Sickerton

That's me, I've had some stomach flu since Thursday. Friday night I ended up in the ER hooked up to an IV. It got worse before it got better but I'm better today I think! I better get better b/c my husband promised to take me out to some nice places to eat while we were down here and I've been living off of gatorade and Jello UGH

On a bright note the boys arent sick! I won Landon's Halloween costume on ebay cheap today, a little dalmatian and Andrew is going to be a fireman! Landon's been saying BABA, GAGA and that's about it, but I think little tubby's first word is going to be bottle LOL how appropriate. His front teeth are almost all the way in, he looks so OLD! 8 months today, I already have baby fever, God help me!
Andrew has been playing w/ his cousin down here, and he loves that. For some reason he keep asking when it's going to snow? He's obsessed w/ watching charlottes web, but what else is there to do in this hotel room? I think now that I feel better if the weather is good we may go out to a park or something tomorrow poor kid is getting cabin fever...snow? haha

Here's some pics!

The other day it was chilly and I was SO EXCITED to wear this outfit. Notice he's already got the socks 1/2 off LOL Look at those teeth! He looks so old to me here :(


Our messy home away from home! This is literally 10 seconds after the maid left 10 SECONDS!


Andrew has been dressing himself lately, which cracks me up b/c he picks out what he wants to wear and he LOVES this pizza top from Boden but w/ the camo shorts...um no, someone call the fashion police!


They are so cute when they play together!


A better look at the teeth!

My little pumpkins

Well its no where near fall like weather here, but there's some good light in this hotel room so I sat them on one of the chairs and put some fall outfits on them. Landon was near nap time and wasnt having it but I bribed Andrew pretty well w/ some fruit snacks. MUAHAHAHA

The boys have been a little sick, maybe the stinky refineries around here and the smoggy air..just some runny bowels and that's about it. Not fun for ME though! :)

Ah Hotel life

It's actually not that bad, today the maid came and changed the bedding, cleaned the tub, toilet and sink. Vacuumed, washed down the mirrors (there's lots of mirrors in this room! LOL) and changed the trash. NICE! I may move here
It's really big too, i'd say at least 500 sq ft, 2 little rooms that are open to each other and a bathroom vanity area and a toilet/tub room. Not too shabby of AT&T! Anyhow, no clue on how long we will be here...could leave this fri, next fri, fri after next...they wont say. I hate that not knowing :(

Anyhow here's us hanging at the hotel that has GREAT LIGHT!


Landon and his fav toy of the moment, and he's got two new teeth! Two top teeth! If I can hold him still I will post a pic of them, so cute :)


Andrew is eating a pb&j sandwich ON THE BED, that's right..things that arent allowed at home are allowed when someone else is doing the cleaning! WOOHOO! :)

My humps My humps

My lovely baby lumps!

:)

First steps

Someone save me, my 7 month old child is trying to take steps away from things. He will steady himself then just GO...then fall, then cry. I need to get him a helmet seriously. He's NOT ready to do it but he wants to SO BAD b/c he wants to keep up w/ big bro. Please stay my baby Landon. :(

Here's a step I caught!

We went shopping today

I needed some retail therapy bad after this last week! I tried so hard to be good, I was :) Gap had extra 25% off sale prices and believe me I walked away from A LOT! I did get some underoos for Andrew for about $5 for 3 pair in a pack! Two packs! And a pair of jeans for Landon for about $6.50! Nice soft pull on ones too LOVE THEM. And a Halloween top for Andrew, you know b/c we are in TX and he needs a long sleeve halloween tee when it's 86 high everyday.

Anyhow I also spent a measly lone ONE gymbuck (dont worry I've spent the other ones online dont feel bad for me! LOL) And I got landon the cutest little outfits, and Andrew some train underoos (he had to immediately try them on)

Here's Landon in some of his redemption outfits, I'm SO SO glad I got these!

Not me Monday

Stole this idea from my friend kerry that got it off another blog. Click the banner on the left there if you want to join!

Yesterday I DID NOT not make dinner for my child and go get fried chicken because I can eat on and not cook for 2 days at least.

I DID NOT let my child watch tv all day so I could just be depressed and sit around all day

I DID NOT put the kids to bed an hr early so I could get an hr more of "me time" (dont worry it didnt last long and I paid for it later b/c Landon was up at 11pm)

I DID NOT just put a pullup on my kid b/c I'm tired of him peeing in the floor constantly

I DID NOT give my child tylenol last night not just because he's teething but in hopes that he would sleep longer b/c I gave it to him.


Honestly I've been wondering how single parents do it. I mean honestly I think it would be easier if I had a job, so I could GET AWAY. I love my kids to death I do but at least when my husband is here if I want to, even if I dont, I have the option to just walk away from situations. Landon is teething its 2 teeth at once and he's been a living nightmare. Not to mention he just learned how to pull up on the side of his crib and he just pulls up and stands there and screams as soon as I shut the bedroom door. He wont let me rock him to sleep, he wont sleep when I lay him down anymore. I'm not even sure what to do
And Andrew, regressing so much on potty training. I'm sure because his daddy has been gone for 4 days now.
I'm so depressed and lonely, I am trying so hard to keep myself busy but on top of being stressed about the kids I just miss my husband. And I never thought I'd say that but I do. Apparently I am not the independent strong person I had perceived myself as. I am needy and pathetic.

Oh and I am NOT getting a cold or flu or something





The end!

We have a stander!

He went from a week ago showing no signs of pulling up, except maybe a few failed attempts and falling over to pulling up on EVERYTHING this week. I thought for sure he was just never going to do it, now I'm regretting ever wanting him to! But I will take it, my first one did everything so early at least this one is staying a baby too!

We are also getting teeth, 2 teeth on the top that just havent popped through and his poor little gums are just swollen and you can feel the bumps. I actually resorted to giving him tylenol last night, tonight we tried motrin. He just cries and cries. I hate doing it but obviously he's in some pain. :(

Craft time! :)

Yes I did a craft, and I LOVE IT! Inspired by a blog someone shared with me http://joysofhome.blogspot.com/ I set off to make some initial blocks! I have some scrapbooking paper I bought for the boys blocks too that are really cute, I cant wait to make the collage in their rooms w/ the block and some maternity/baby pics!

Anyhow, here's the B, we havent found a home for it yet but it looks really funny where I have it sitting :)
