Catch up

2nd Post of the day.
Whats been going on in our house lately? Just been busy people...

Last weekend we got to spend a few hours with my nieces who live north of Nashville. Gabby was taking all the kids to Build a Bear for their Valentine's present. Of course Aiden picks up a rainbow bear (VERY girly), and I knew Daddy would be mad at me if I let him get it so I tried to explain it was for a girl and go pick again...wheew ended up with a puppy this time! He picked out a sound (dog barking), actually participated in the loving of the heart before inserting in the animal, and stuff and bathed him afterwards. (I kinda had a feeling he would be too distracted to participate, but he surprised me.) What outfit did he pick? Spiderman of course. lol

It was definitely a mad house 6 kids 2 adults. After we left I was so thankful for just 2 kids! haha Since Aiden listened in the store and behaved after each correction I let him ride on those rides in the middle of the mall. Of course all the kids wanted to ride and I became the cool auntie for a minute until the next scolding was administered. It was like these kids were all jacked up on Mtn. Dew! Pounding headache afterwards.

This week we had some silly bath times. Aiden apparently thinks I'm the funniest person EVER! I would make a sound whenever he would try to drink the water and well pure laughter. So Silly! Brody was looking at him like "What's so funny?!" Speaking of Brody...best bath taker EVER!! So nice not having to fight one to bathe. When it comes to the actual bathing part Aiden to this day acts like we are torturing him when we pour water on him. So weird!

Brody finally took a paci...for like 5 minutes!

Aiden got to use some of his birthday gift cards to get a new toy at the Disney Store. Of course it's Toy Story, he's been flying that space ship ever since we got it....even sleeps with it!

The real reason why we went to the Disney store was to pick up some items for Bella and Carlos' Disney trip (honorary auntie). It's their 1st time ever, so I wanted to make it memorable since we aren't going. Since they are driving down, 12+ hours, there I wanted to get some things to entertain them in the car. Perfect timing to go to the Disney Store too! Buy 1 Plush get 1 free! SCORE! I even found Mickey and Minnie water bottles on clearance, perfect to take in the park. The rest of the stuff came from the Dollar Tree (bucket, coloring book, crayons, chips, and candy.) Then I just pulled out my paint pen and used some stickers I had on hand. Finished for under $30!

We decided we will go to Disney when Brody is 5 that way they both can ride most of the rides. I can't wait...but dread the drive!!

Both me and Aiden got haircuts. This was his best visit yet. He kept telling the lady "Brody doesn't get his haircut. He's a baby. No haircut for Brody." haha lordy! I was trying to grow out Aiden's hair, but it was kind of driving me crazy how thick it was in the back and barely grew in the front. He looks so much older with short hair (Not sure why he's in this closed eyed stage....). I'm trying to grow my hair back long again, so I just got a trim and a few layers to make it not so heavy.

Lastly, for little over a month there has been a stray pit bull that's been sleeping under our house. Before I figured out it was the dog I was freaking out! He would hit pipes, the crackles of the vapor barrier, and the shakes of his body would have anyone thinking there are ghosts in your house. At first I thought it was mice in the attic, but then I realized it was coming from below. I was hoping he would move on...but each night he comes back.

There was only 1 occasion where we were close and literally FREAKED Aiden out! I was walking ahead of Aiden one evening with Brody in hand and Aiden came up behind me screaming and running "Big Puppy!"....which of course freaks me out! I'm thinking the dog is right behind me and is going to attack, but instead its out by my car just trying to figure us out. Well ever since then at bedtime Aiden says he's scared of the monster....what monster.....the puppy! LOVELY! So bedtimes haven't been that great for us.....BUT the dog was finally caught last night and barked ALL night! I'm sure my neighbors thought it was Murph....

But it's good he's caught, because the poor guy is really skinny, I think has ear mites always shaking his head, and has horrible bite marks around his neck sometimes bleeding.

Cant wait to celebrate V-day with the hubby this weekend. Sushi! Need some QT with him face to face instead of on the phone!
