Pumpkin Pleasures
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Richmond VA with Grandpa Lowe
Grandpa Lowe came all the way from Mexico to "share joy." He missed all of us and we were super happy to have his company around....Wrangler especially loved on him all week long!

Thoughts

You know your kids spend too much time with their nanny vs. their parents when they start calling you "Rosa" instead of "Mama." So sad!
You know you work too much when everyday your kids ask you, "Are you going to work today mom? Why?"
You know that your belly is getting big when your 4 year old compares your belly size to the neighbor's belly, who is obese!
You know you miss your kids when you can't wait to get home, kiss on them and even wake them up to get a good night snuggle.

Modeling Boys
My boys looked adorable in their new haircuts...so, we went ahead and got their "3" and "5" year old portraits.
Check them out....If you want some (family members!), you can pick out your favorites and order them.
Thanks!

Photos of my life
Here are some pics of these last few weeks. Because Jared and I only have one day to spend with our boys a week, I have been anxious to make sure every Monday is "special."
This last week was no different. We took Wesley out of preschool, missed their once a week soccer class and headed out to Baltimore, MD. It is an hour away, but the boys were excited to be on this road trip. The parking is over priced, so we paid the $16 just to find a parking stall. Our goal was to go to the Children's museum, which we had heard was great. We hit up the nearby McD's...not good food, but of course the boys loved it...another $20.
We walked over to the museum, only to find that it was CLOSED on Mondays! What the heck! A true dissapointment for sure. Not to waste our hour drive, and $40 that we had already spent in half hour, we stared walking around. The mugginess was pretty intense, and b/c we didn't know the weather could change so quickly, we were very overdressed with our long pants.
We were going to have a fun day dog gonnit! We roamed around the Chesapeake Harbor and to our lovely surprise, spotted some Dragon shaped paddle boats. Those were a hit with our boys! We loaded up (another $16 for just 20 minutes) in the purple dragon and Jared pumped his legs hard all around that harbor. Those life jackets were just adding to our sweaty mess that we were already in! It was fun.
Not much else....walked around quite a bit, sweated, watched cars go by and decided that we had had enough of Baltimore for the day. We headed back towards our house where we hit up the local movie theatre. This was a big treat for our boys. We were pretty shocked to find that the matinee was $30 for us 4. But, we all enjoyed a silly movie about some Chihuahuas in Hollywood.
Needless to say, and $100 later...it was an enjoyable day with our boys.
Here is an adorable picture of my two boys and their cute hats.
Jared is always a good sport about letting the boys jump to him like "Spiderman."

The purple dragon!

We did another HUGE MILESTONE today...and after my apprehensions of it all...the boys got haircuts from their favorite stylist, papa.
BEFORE:

And AFTER:
Wesley is a true model at heart. He loves to pose. I thought he looked extra sharp in his suit. He lifted his leg on his own, without me even encouraging a pose!


The boys always love to read with papa.
And I loved their long pants with barefeet...
BEFORE:
Austin really needed a haircut. He was looking very mousy and fluffy.
What kind of parents still allow the "tail" or "mullet" hairstyle? Hilarious!
And AFTER: His big eyes and giraffe-like eyelashes sure do POP out now. If you look up close, you will see he is full of glitter on his mouth, he loves to slather on any type of chapstick...or make up that he can find.

A picture of my big belly at 25 weeks along...
And if you can believe this...this is our backyard and neighbor's house! Beautiful fall leaves all around. The boys loved throwing the leaves into the air and chasing the gray squirrels around.

Okay okay...I did it. I joined up on Facebook. I am not sure what my reasons were...maybe just to see what all the hype is about. I will admit, I am the type that likes to keep in contact with people, but having 100+ "Friends" on my account is definitely not my goal.
So, one week into it....I am blown away by how many long lost accquaintances (they would be considered "friends" had I kept in touch with them over the last 10 years), have tagged me and found me! We are talking like 15 new contacts a day. I am sure this will die down soon enough, but I will admit another thing...how fun it has been to see what my high school friends have been doing for the last 10 years.
I went last year to my 10 year HS reunion, and saw a bunch of those same people. But, through facebook...I can now see their kids, read about their jobs, and see those people whom I have lost contact with from other grades.
No, this is not a public shout out for Facebook...a simple note to say that it has been fun! I don't forsee myself becomming addicted to posting and reading the latest on everyone everyday, but I do plan on catching up while this phenomenon is hot and running.
I wonder what people are thinking about me?
