I'm just not feelin it

I can't believe how tired I am lately, too tired to check email or facebook or blog. This whole full time job + fulltime mom + fulltime housework is pretty exhausting lately.

The boys want to play outside from the moment I get home from work until the sun goes down. Thaddeus is my mad escape artist who flees into the alley every chance he gets. He's so defiant & stubborn (don't know where he gets that from). Chris & I have to get a fence. We are so not handy when it comes to stuff like that. Currently we have pallets blocking most of the exits. Korbin doesn't escape too much but he certainly helps Tad along. "This way Baby. Let me move this out of your way." Korbin is going through about a bag of sand a week in his sandbox. If only I could convince him that the sand needs to stay in there.

A few Korbin quotes from the past week or so...
"Mommy, your bed is just like a trampoline."
"I'll just have cucumbers for breakfast."
& my personal favorite, which he has started saying quite often when he's tired or bored
"I'm just not feelin it."

Look Mom No hands

This is Korbin's new trick. He probably would have gone completely over the railing if I hadn't stopped him. He's nearly fearless (I say nearly because he has an extreme fear of vaccum cleaners.) He use to free fall from the kitchen table. His poor nose was smashed so many times. He can easily climb the neighbors chain link fence & on top of the refrigerator. The railing on our deck is the perfect balance beam, it's only 4 feet off the ground. I'm sure one day he'll tell me he's gonna jump out of airplanes.

Boys are pretty gross. Tonight while getting ready for bed Korbin stuck his foot about an inch from my face started laughing & said "Lick my stinky feet mommy!" Me " Ewww no way" Korbin "Try it. You'll like it." Then he wiped his foot all over my face. "Smells stinky good."

One man's junk

So, I think I should take notes throughout the day to remind myself of all the crazy things that happen.

I love garbage nights in the spring. One man's junk is another man's treasure. Very little in my back yard has actually cost us money & you'd think Toys R Us threw up in our backyard if you ever saw it. So Anyways, My mom totally scored this sweet Little Tykes/Step 2 (not sure, does it matter) play center from the curb & brought it to our house for the boys. The boys call it their pirate ship because it has this sweet wheel that you would see on a boat. Korbin now calls everyone Captain..... it's so funny (especially when Morgan is over lol). Captain Tad was steering the boat & Captain Korbin comes flying across the yard "Get off of my ship Captain Baby(Korbin refuses to call him anything but baby)" and jumps on & pushes Tad overboard. "Watch out for sharks!". He completely knocked Tad right onto his head & yet Tad just laughed & went back for more. Boys are great like that! Hours & hours of endless fun from someone else's junk.

In other happenings...today someone sprayed WD40 or something like that on the floors at work. You could practically skate across the floors. Nothing & I mean nothing could get it cleaned up. Although this probably doesn't sound like anything too funny. It became mildly humorous when everyone had to stop what they were doing & go guard the super slick spots. It was funny just watching everything come to a stand still with it being crazy busy. It became hilarious when someone decided to use Coke to mop the floors. Yes Coke Cola. They were pouring 2 liters of it into mop buckets. Umm someone was watching Mythbusters. : )

Getting Started

So I've finally broke down & created a blog. I hope to entertain the world with the crazy antics of my family and remind myself how wonderful my life really is.
I'm the oldest of seven children. I have gazillions of cousins. My family is amazingly huge. I married Christopher who is eight years older than me. He is an only child, only grandchild. His entire family is smaller than my immediate family. We are quite a pair. We have two little boys Korbin & Thaddeus. My nephew Morgan is over at our house a lot. I never imagined that I would have a house full of boys. Little boys are destroyers of all things orderly & whole. (Good thing I'm not a neat freak.) My boys are hilarious, creative, sneaky, stubborn, independent....well, they are a handful.
