Arlo's funny comments

This week we have had so many classic Arlo comments I am having hard keeping up. Here are a few gems.....

"I really don't like Whining, but sometimes I need to so I can get what I want."

"Mom, you put the edge on River's blanket. It's Perfect!"

"Ok Mom, fine you can have Rachet (a transformer) again...why do you need to be so obsessed?"

Crochet Flowers

Here are some flower clips I made as a birthday gift for my good friend Benny's little one Lily. She has the most adorable blonde curls and I think they will look so cute on her. I hope they are a hit. I sure had fun making them....

Happy St. Patty's

Today was a great day. The sun was shining, we went to the park, I died everything green, including dinner, and Leprechauns came to visit while we were napping....
Arlo & David eating their Green St Patty's Lunches.....
What we left for the Leprechauns...... What the Leprechauns left for us.....
They ate all of our special treat
Left us a trail of 4 leaf clovers to follow.... and at the end was a Rainbow!!!!

Arlo LOVED this -Mom had fun doing it...shhh

Arlo's Preschool St. Pattys!

We had the funnest day at Preschool for St. Patricks day. They had a magician come. The kids LOVED him. Then they played games and had a party. I signed up for the snacks so Arlo and I made some Leprechaun treats (sweet & salty chex mix died green) and we had a great time! here is some pics below

The Leprechaun Treats mom made for class the paper in the bag explains what they are: In this bag is a special treat, the very same one that Leprechauns eat. This yummy snack was made just for you to bring you good luck in all that you do! (how lame am I?)

Dude Your OLD!

Wow! Clint turned 33 on Feb 28. How did it happen? Seriously? I just don't get how were SO OLD!!!! I mean we started dating at 17 and now were 33??? It's just such a shocker. But I think we did put on a great birthday bash for the hubs/Dad. I asked him what he wanted to do most, and he just wanted to have the Sis & her little fam over and cook some hobo dinners in the fire pit in the back yard. We had a blast, and the kids did too. I have to say I made the best peanut butter/chocolate pie EVER and the hobo dinners rocked- The kids even rocked a bit. All in All a great birthday. Happy birthday sweetie, I love you even if you are OLD!!

Its UNREAL

Just had to post some pics of my BEAUTIFUL new niece Sophie. I just cant explain how pretty this little girl is...you have to see it to believe it. She is going to grow up one day and be just as beautiful as her sis Hay Hay!

What were up to...

So updates...lets see

Ferber
Night Time: Dylan is doing awesome! he is going right to bed at 7pm,wakes up about 1am to eat then again at 6am and is up for good around 7am

Naps: Getting better and better. Goes down at 9-930am and sleeps around an hour hour and a half. Then again from 1230-100 this nap is still a bit shakey, sometimes he only sleeps for like 30 min other times an hour. Then at 400pm takes a little cat nap for about 40 min. I feel really positive about the whole thing. He hardly ever cries and if he does fight it, its the 1200 nap. He doesnt last long before he gives up.

Weight loss: have lost 19 lbs! I am really excited but I still have a long way to go. Now that Dyl is on somewhat of a schedule my goal is to start excercising....

Funny stuff: Got pulled over for speeding the other day-way to go me! since then Arlo has been obsessed with obeying the speed limit and other traffic laws. Heres our conversation about speeding this morning;

Arlo:Mom, slow down and start going the speed limit

Mom: Oh, ok honey thanks for the reminder.

Arlo: Transformers are really safe drivers

Mom: They are?

Arlo: yeah, right before they transform they make sure they arent speeding and they don't get into crashes.

Cute Stuff: Every night before bed I always ask Arlo who my best big boy is. (it's him-that way Dyl can be my best little boy-he he moms are sneaky!) anyhoo last night as I was tucking him in he said "Who's my best big girl" I asked who, and he said " you mommy I love you so much" I could have just died-although I would have really liked to be called his best little girl but hey, sometimes the truth hurts.

My husband is out of town...it sucks....we miss him. I guess the good thing is I always realize how thankful I am to have him and how much easier he makes my life.
