Hot Boys

My boys really make me laugh!! Just thinking about some of our daily goings-ons make me giggle a bit. Like, I'm laughing right now..... but I'm sure no one else would find it funny. Jordan is quite the comedian, but dear Aaron.... he is just a clown! He'll do anything for a laugh... and even at his tender age (not quite 2), he can make himself laugh at just about anything!!! Have you ever seen a baby fall out laughing at their own "jokes???" That's my Aaron! Ha!

In addition to be hilarious, my boys are also very very hot! It doesn't take much to make them sweat, so I'm reeeeaaallly looking forward to many stinky sweaty summers ahead! Ha!

So, two quick semi-funny, semi-sweaty stories. Please indulge me.

Number 1:
After the heatwave this past weekend, I found 2 red melted crayons in Aaron's carseat. Fun. Being as though I'm always the super-prepared, always ready for anything, OCD type of mom (yeah right!).. I knew just what to do to keep the crayon from potentially ruining my Owwie's khaki shorts. That's right, I laid a cute winter hat in the seat for Aaron to sit on. Talk about preparation.

Moving on..
So we're all in the car. Ty is driving. When he drives I get rubbernecking fever... I'm constantly looking at the boys. So, I turn around to catch a glimpse and what do I see? Aaron wearing the winter hat. He was just looking out the window, not doing anything funny. But when we locked eyes, we both fell out laughing! It was 90+ degrees. Picture a baby in shorts and a t-shirt with a winter hat on - big ol' pompom on top and everything! The whole car erupted in laughter!

I guess you had to be there..
(it really was funny, though ..lol)

Number 2:
It's still hot. The boys are still sweaty. I'm still lazy and didn't want to cook dinner. We go to one of our favorite spots - GG's house! YAY GG!!! We had dinner over there, played for a bit, watched tv, etc. Then it was time to go.

So, we're all in the car. Ty is driving. Let the rubbernecking begin.
This time, the boys and I are singing songs, playing peek-a-boo, etc. They do such a good job that I ask Jordan for a high five. We are big time high fivers at Chez BlueWorld! Anyway, since it's nighttime, the car is dark. I ask for my high five and what do I get? A hand full of mitten!! Yeah, that's right, mitten. I was so surprised that we all once again fell out laughing!! I mean, why was he wearing mittens??? When did he put them on? How come I was the only one who didn't notice?

Again, I guess you had to be there.

What happened next...

Mothers are like superheroes.

They (we) are able to do more in 2 minutes than most are able to do in an entire day. All women, mothers or not, have this gift, but it is just magnified by like 1,000 when you have little ones grappling at your ankles.

This brings me to a most recent happening at Chez BlueWorld.

The boys were playing - quite typical.
Things started to get hairy and I KNEW tears would soon follow - again, quite typical.
*insert loud noise* a thump or a bump or a crash will do. - yep, you guessed it... FAR TOO TYPICAL.

Tears, yelps, ear piercing screams and gut wrenching hollers soon follow. Oy.

Aaron makes his way to me first.
"What's wrong Aaron," says SuperPink.
"Hurt head," says a sobbing baby.
"Sweet baby, what can I do?" says SuperPink.
"Mommmmmmy, kissssss itttttt!" Aaron yells in between the sobbing.

SuperPink proceeds to kiss the baby's head until there are no more tears. Since I'm a superhero, this takes no more than 3 seconds (boy, am I good).

Next up - Jordan.
"Jordan are you okay?" says a PROUD SuperPink!
"I hurt my boo boo!!" Jordan says with such sincerity.... i almost can't laugh.


Can you guess what he asked for next???

Impulse Control

Babies don't have it.

Poor dinosaur never stood a chance

Christmas Pictures '08 Edition

I'm ready for Christmas.
I just thought I'd throw that out there even though I have a lot of catching up to do from this past season. Fall just FLEW BY! Ah well... on to the next.

Anyway..
Soooooo, we decided to take family pictures to send out with our Christmas cards.. We did it in 2006 and 2007 - because it was the boy's first Christmases... there was really no need to do it again this year. I'm just sayin.

2006 was the easiest because there was just one baby and he was too little to really try our patience.... and plus, expectations were so low.

2007 was AWFUL!! We went around dinnertime, which then leads to sleepy time.... and for Mom, that makes sweaty time!!! The boys were so cranky and disagreeable.. If I remember correctly, the photographer got a total of 6 or 7 shots TOTAL before we just quit - after TWO HOURS!! That was one of the worst experiences with the boys to date!

Why I thought this year would be any different is just something that makes you go hmmmm.
We went earlier in the day to avoid the dinner/sleepy crankiness... the boys are a year older and they love to have their pictures taken...

NONE OF THIS MATTERED!!!!
I repeat - NONE OF THIS MATTERED!!!

Aaron SCREAMED and HOLLERED the ENTIRE TIME!!! You would've thought someone was really torturing him! And when he cries, Jordan cries.. without fail. I think the photographer barely got 10 shots TOTAL for us to choose from.

And so, yes, that lead to Mom sweating! lol makeup dripping, curls falling, head pounding...
It was an experience (to say the least).

Ty and I took pics of just the 2 of us for a change - those came out pretty well..

Anyway... we're not taking anymore pictures for a good long while!! Period.
If I can remember, I'll post the pics we chose once they are ready. (maybe)
