Just a few pictures

In the crazy rain this week, and since I feel like I'm getting more and more tired everyday! We have been vegging out allot lately.

Today I took Riley to work for a bit, he wanted to see the Police Cars, I was disappointed that none of the officers were there to show him the lights and sirens, but maybe next time. :)

The day it rained and rained and rained.. Riley wanted to play outside!! Of course! He hasnt wanted to go in his treehouse for months, But, he had a nice time :) & our backyard is HORRIBLE! What a mess it is! I wanted to have people over for marshmellows and hotdogs, but I think I will have to wait until the backyard is cleaned up a bit. Maybe if I'm feeling better next week :)

This is a pic of me and Riley today.. Doesnt he just look Thrilled! Lol, the light was in our eyes, so he has a funny look on his face :) lol

The story of a Lion

Once upon a time there was a little stuffed lion that lived at Burlington Coat factory in the Baby Depot. One day a little boy named Riley came into the store, he saw the lion and grabbed him up without a second thought. saying " I have to get this Lion for baby Brady" Riley's mommy thought the lion was cute, but didnt want to spend the 12.99 on a stuffed animal when the money could go to better things. The little boy insisted! He carried the lion all thru the store. Riley found other things he really wanted, like a spiderman baseketball & hoop set, and a train with remote control. His mommy said he could get either thing, but he had to put the lion back in order to get them, Riley refused, saying "but mom I have to get this for baby Brady, so I will not get the other things" He finally found something his mommy was sure he would trade for. Lightning Mcqueen and friends decals for his bedroom wall! His mommy knew he had wanted them for a long time. They made their way up to the register. & Riley had a choice to make. His mommy asked him to put the lion back so he could get the wall decals, Riley cried, really heartfelt tears as he snuggled the little lion tightly. He said one last time "no mom, I'll just have to get the lightning mcqueen stickers next time, I have to get this lion for baby Brady"
The cashier and several people around looked at his as if he was throwing a fit, but what they didnt understand was.. this 3 1/2 year old little boy, gave up several things he really wanted in order to get a gift for his yet to be born baby brother.
Riley's mommy was so very proud, and she would have paid $50 for this silly lion, because it was filled already with so much love! & she knew right then, that she had done her job as a mommy, & that her son was becoming the little man, she had raised him to be :)
I dont know many 3 years olds that would have done that. & I couldnt be more proud of him.


oodles of Noodles!!
Riley made a noodle necklace in school today! :) Its so cute, and he gave it to me.
after he took a bite of one of the noodles of course :0 you have to try it out first right? :) I think it does look good enough to eat!
He is loving school, and making new friends! & this is the whistle he got today out of the treasure box for doing so well!

Awe, how sweet..

*************** A LIttle Story ***************
Riley: Are you happy Mommy?
Me: Yes honey I'm happy
Riley: Are you getting Married?
Me: I'm already Married to daddy
Riley: Oh, are you going to have a wedding?
Me: we already did, but you werent there
Riley: I'm getting married too
Me: Oh really? Who are you going to Marry?
Riley: You Mommy :)

Awe, My kid is so sweet.

and his new thing is running up and giving me a giant hug! and saying
"Your the best girl I ever had" :) Like he has had so many, but its nice to be at the top of the list, reguardless of how long it may be.

Potty training..... Nearly sucessful! 90%, he hasnt worn diapers in over 5 days now. I might get to start buying diapers for the new baby now, instead of my 3 year old! :) I'm so proud of him. I finally got him to agree to not wear diapers anymore by having a fight with him, where we both ended up crying, and then he hugged me and said "i'll help you mommy", and he is doing great! Yay!!

A busy girl in a busy world

So I had yesterday and today off! Yesterday we went to the movies, and today.. I went grocery shopping, birthday shopping, Harlee's & Riley's :) Its a busy birthday month.

I played with Riley outside..
This picture looks Riley's hair is on fire!! :)

I made dinner :) awe what a good little wifey I am, I watched shows with my sick husband, which made him happy, I took 2 tests and did homework,I packaged all the scentsy orders and send out totals to the people who got new springy scents :) & are about to be happy!, I boiled eggs


and we decorated easter eggs!!

so after I was cleaning up the pink countertops! I was feeling pretty proud of myself and all that I had accomplished these two days off.. then.. I turned around.. and realized.. why I had so much time to accomplish these things.....

I guess some things have to get skipped when you work full time, full time mom, have a hobby job, go to school part time, and try to run a house :) Dishes arent that important.... but I did do the dishes shortly after this.. its was driving me nuts, But I still have another load! we didnt even have any spoons left! ewe....
oh.. and I downloaded pics to facebook & this posting.. :) I think I deserve some ice cream and a warm bath for all my hard work :)
