Monsters

Last weekend was our official 1st sleepover! All week Aiden was pumped asking if Harlee (my niece) was coming over that tonight. (Those two adore each other) And of course he was pumped about everyone, but Harlee just a tad bit more. lol
Some might say I went overboard...but in my mind not so much. (Most everything I had around the house...baby toys lol) It was a special weekend. All the cousins came over to our house Friday night. We had Mike Cookies, Sully Sprinkled Popcorn, Monster Pizzas, and all the juice you could dream of...ohhh and cupcakes! lol Kid heaven right?!
Very inexpensive meal under $20 for all that and fed 8 people with leftovers.

After we stuffed our bellies we played outside until the mosquitoes were out hardcore. Then it was MOVIE TIME! Wonder what we watched??!! Maybe Brody's outfit can give you a hint?! (Kept looking at Aiden being a fool behind me...)
Pictures blurry because the lights were off and my flash was doing crazy things
Saturday we woke up, munched on donuts (which we never have, so Aiden was super excited), got dressed and headed up to the Disney Store....why?! Oh just for Scare Approaches 101 class....it was a must! They needed to learn how to scare before going to Monsters University. As Harlee says "You are one cool Aunt Bama!!" and Aiden chimes in "Yah! One cool Mommy!" hahahaha well yes I am! Cool as a cucumber.
Once we arrived at Disney Aiden wanted nothing to do with it. He laid out on the floor and Carlos pouted...the girls however were HILARIOUS!!! Man I should have recorded them. Priceless! Then about 1/4 of the way through Aiden finally perked up once it came time to scream...not into making funny faces I guess. ;-)
 
Yes that is my son.....
Best laugh I've had in awhile. ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 If you need a scarer...you know who to call now! He's officially enrolled in the University!
Picked out the monster himself....apparently he thinks it represents himself
Since the movie was at 12 we decided to pack some lunches and eat in the food court to save money and time. The whole time I feared I would have to get up 50 million times to pee with Aiden. Did I mention this was his first time to go to the movie theater....see big weekend for him!
Movie time. Aiden did great! only had to pee twice, but holy moly boy couldn't make up his mind if he wanted to sit or stand. He wasn't bothering anyone just mobile. Luckily there were 50 million kids so a little chatter between them didn't disturb the audience because other kids were talking too.

During the previews Aiden stated he wanted to see 2 of the movies. lol Whoa big guy! Maybe....but you have to be good at school. "Okay I'll be good and listen to Ms. Carmen." Yup that's what I thought! haha The preview to Frozen was quite hilarious...bc the kids reactions "Holy Moly! Did you see that Dad his head flew off!" hahahahahaha priceless just watch the preview and you will understand.

After that everyone went home and snoozeville was on. Best nap ever!

Too bad it was raining here yesterday or that chalk would have already been used. But they know my son. haha LOVES coloring! This is how smart Aiden is....he asked me what the drill was and I replied "Its a sand toy." and he goes "Oh fun! It's for the beach!!" Go you Aiden for associating sand with the beach!! My reply "Yes exactly! You can use it a lot at Honey and Pops!" Aiden replied "Can we go now?!" hahaha um if only I didn't have to work tomorrow buddy....

It's like they read my mind, because I was just commenting on how I needed to get Brody a hat since we are outside all the time. Like I mentioned before if it makes noises Brody is ALL over it. Hello little shreds of yellow paper all over the rug! haha

Catch Up

Post 3 of the day.
Between Brody's teething episodes. Fever and Pain. Aiden hasn't felt 100% either. Darn allergies. But luckily each episode only lasts a night. But I've gotten lots of snuggle time in, so I won't complain!
Every weekend this month has been jam packed. So much on our list...but the boys have had a blast. One weekend we celebrated sweet Kaylie's 2nd birthday! Sweet cousins! It's nice to buy non-boy related items for once haha. Lights out for both of them on the way home. Oh sweet silence!
One weekend he got to go on an adventure with Gabby to get ice cream while Mommy and Daddy did yard work. Lots of yard work! Ugh can we trade places?!?!

In this house we are on a nap strike. Both boys have the hardest time napping. All last weekend Aiden didn't nap (which is scary because the whole time I feared OH MY ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A CRANKY KID THAT EVENING?!?!?! surprisingly NOT! whew!) Brody is afraid he's going to miss something so instead of long naps he takes like 30 minute naps or shorter. Even at daycare! He can't even make it out of the parking lot before passing out....smart because he can get a solid 30-40 min nap before big brother makes his LOUD arrival after school.
Lastly I leave with a sneak peek....1st sleepover party. Aiden is beyond excited about Harlee spending the night, no one else just Harlee. They adore each other! Sweet cousins! Post to come....
Aiden constantly requests to watch Monsters Inc (Refers to Sully and Mike as Monster Inc---that's their name according to Aiden haha) or Tinkerbell (thanks to Miss Harlee)
