Today is a Good Day for a Fort

Complete with blankets, pillows, toy cars and twinkle lights. Just the ticket for two adventurous (read, "trouble-making") boys with no TV. Oh yeah, did I forget to tell you about our technology conspiracy? Apparently, all of our remote controls decided to either go on strike or take an unplanned vacation...we haven't heard from any union leaders yet, so we can't be sure which. Since we can't operate the TV without the remote (yeah, what sort of brilliant mind designed THAT cable box??), and you can't play a DVD without the ability to press "Play" on the remote (our XBox is subbing for our DVD player, which is broken, and has no buttons...I've already tried using a game controller)......*sigh* We DID find out today that we can play VHS tapes! YAY for old technology!!

Now I'm off to make lunch, but I just had to share these pics of Jacob modeling his big brother Alex's outgrown glasses. Isn't he CUTE?? Don'tcha just wanna scoop him up and squish him in a giant bear hug and smother him in kisses??




I LOVE this boy.

Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!!

Is is the Weekend Yet??

For some reason, this week has kicked my BUTT!! I've been tired and out-of-sorts, and now I'm in pain. Yes, I managed to hurt myself...promise you won't laugh....doing PUSH-UPS. That's right.....the girl kind. (TMI alert: I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure I bust open my C-section scar and my guts are falling out.) No biggie. It only hurts when I cough. Or sneeze. Or try to pick up heavy stuff. But I also slept wrong last night and my entire back and shoulder area kills....my chest even hurts when I BREATHE, for cryin' out loud!! Jeez, I'm only 30! Now where the heck did I put my warranty.....? Maybe my mom still has it. I'm going to demand an exchange, because this is ridiculous.

[Insert segway HERE.]

Today just felt like a good day to paint.Turns out, I was right! It was a wonderful day for painting! It cracks me up that Jack painted Maggie's name over and over....that guy just loves his big sister. More later, I have to try to get some sleep....hoping I'll wake up tomorrow and be healed!
