Life

So we made the executive decision to cut our cable. We just really couldn't justify spending that kind of money especially since we never have time to watch anything.

So instead we will have HuluPlus. Thanks to our Sony Blu-Ray player (which we got in Dec for only $88 now $114) we can connect remotely and use that. The only programs that Hulu doesn't have that we watch is Showtime (Dexter, which is on its last season. But we will buy the DVDs like past seasons) and Disney (but you can go to their website and watch them all online.) We will still keep Netflix for the moment, but we rarely use it so that might get the axe too!

We will enjoy our last day and pack up the receivers once DirectTV sends us boxes.

Want to thank Allison for selling ThirtyOne stuff! Now the boys have nice and HUGE bags for spend the night trips to the grandparents! Love Love Love them!! The other one is black with red "Lambert" writing. I decided not to do the 1st name, because as they grow older my luck would be if Aiden's bag was the camo he would want the black. lol So win-win in my book!

The other two bags are to keep my car organized. The dot bag is for the front (chapstick, baby wipes, hair brush, travel 1st aid kit, etc). The teal is to go between the boys seats (cars, books, etc.) Trying to keep my car from looking like a tornado went through it.

Our nightly schedule during the week. Since Wes works 2nd shift I'm on my own at night. So how do I do it with these wild ones?! Well.....

1. Once home we unload the car and then play outside for an hour
2. We come in. I start cooking dinner, while Aiden watches a show (98% time it's Mickey) while Brody gets some exercise too (jumping).
3. We eat dinner.
4. Brody gets a bath 1st, while Aiden plays with toys, reads, or finishes his Mickey.
5. Aiden gets a bath, while Brody jumps some more and watches Baby TV.
6. We pack our lunches and bags for the next day, while Brody watches sitting in his Bumbo on the counter.
7. Jump in Mommy's bed to watch one more Mickey and read a book. Then off to bed or as Aiden likes to call it "Nap time".

Pattern. By that time it's around 8:30, I pick up a little, wash bottles, take Murph out, watch about 30 min of tv. and off to bed myself. And repeat. ;-) We live exciting lives during the week.

 JUMPING MACHINE!!!!

Getting Aiden to bed used to be AWWWFUL! Talk about meltdowns....resulting in him sleeping with me most the time. But now since Wes is home by 12am Aiden can't sleep with me anymore. I kinda was worried how we would transition....glad to report he's doing GREAT!! Shocking...it's like within the past 3 weeks he has grown up SOOOO much! Don't get me wrong we still have our moments, but he can tell when I'm getting upset and when he's being bad because the first thing out of his mouth "I'm sorry Mommy! I didn't mean to....Can I have a hug?!" haha Can't get any sweeter than that. Eat him up!

Sunday Aiden helped me wash the cars. He actually did a good job too. According to him its because his "a big boy!" Such a little helper. It's why his teachers love him!

I end with pictures of this little stinker, who didn't want to sleep last night. Can you blame him for wanting extra snuggles from his mommy?! Also, promise I'm working on his 5mo post....and this little bugger is soooo close to crawling. Getting up on all 4s and moving backwards!! Ekk! Can't believe it!
