Delgrosso

So Delgrosso day has arrived!

They boys are so excited and Baby Evan is chilling with Aunt Kathy...what a beautiful day for the park...it's just lovely.

Ben and Jake started the day in the pool with the typical water slides...I just love how parents don't watch their kids

at the pool just pisses me off I don't understand. Here are my boys waiting patiently in line (me too btw...c'mon I love the slide as much as they do and Jake can't go on his own) and here comes the purple mohawk crew skipping line...they did it about five times till I finally said in my kindest teacher voice possible "Can you show me where the end of the line is...you have to go to the end of the line" The kid looked right at me laughed and jumped line.

So he returns in two minutes I'm STILL waiting in line with my whiney Jakey waiting for his turn...he jumps in front and I block him with my whole body...he tries to move me I said buddy you'll have to wait like everyone else...I spend the rest of the day looking for a mommy and daddy with a purple mohawk to come kick my butt! hehehe...

Here's some pics...

Oh and on the tilt a whirl Ben looks at me and says "mom if your gonna throw up keep it in your mouth ok?'

Chuckee is after my baby boy!!!

So this weekend we decided we are going to vacation whether we can afford it or not...gotta love the economy eh?

We ventured to Altoona PA for a wonderful trip to visit family and have an awesome time at Chuckee Cheese and Delgrosso's.

It always amazes me the mental state of a toddler...Jake spent the first three days screaming at Aunt Bren's dogs saying they were going to EAT him! No matter how many times we calmed him and convinced him that dogs do not eat people he was convinced he was the dogs dinner...which of course Shawn made worse by saying "Don't worry baby the doggies only eat little boys on Thursdays" lol

Well anyway...the illigetimate fears continued to Chuckee Cheese. Jacob has been anxiously awaiting his birthday at Chuckee Cheese...we head there on Thursday for lunch and as soon as we enter a very friendly Chuckee Cheese and his friends start to move around and sing on stage...I look around wondering where my happy lovebug is...he's running for the door...screaming "I NO PARTY HEAR"...a Chuckee Cheese lady stops him...me running behind him holding and feeding Evan at the same time...she says does he belong to you...I respond yes...she says he says he won't go to the potty hear...I chuckle...responding he says he does not want to party here...he is terrified...Daddy does a great job helping Jake to somewhat enjoy his Chuckee Cheese day choosing a booth as far away as possible for Chuckee...I guess momma is gonna be planning another party somewhere other than Chuckee Cheese...hehhee!

Sandbox Surprise

Ms. LISHA and Casey and Ryan came tonight with a surprise for the boys:

A SANDBOX!

massages...with a cost

So Ben and Jake love to massage each other's feet and mine and anyone else that will let them...they think it's the best...tonight I caught them doing each others...So funny...well then Ben decided to do mine so of course I let him...he said Mommy do you enjoy when I massage your feet...I said yes Ben...he said well you could pay me a little each time then since you love it so much!

the finished police car

oh the places you can go in a cardboard box

So today Benjamin the engineer decided he was going to construct a cardboard box police car...this kept him busy the ENTIRE DAY...He's currently upset that we have no "materials" to make wheels that turn and is highly upset that I will not allow him to use my plates as wheels...lol. Pictures will follow when the perfectionist is finished his masterpeice (he screams every time I try to take a picture).

Here is what Evan did while his favorite playmate was busy engineering:

cuddly mornings

This is how the morning began...Ben asking to hold Evan Jake asking for Ben to hold him...oh the responsibility of a big brother...Jake decided it would "be ok" if he sat next to him since Ben said "I'm sorry my lap is full right now"
