Memo to self:::
Today I tried to accomplished the impossible, but ended up not all in one peace.
I decided that I had had enough of having spaghetti, mac and cheese and eating what ever was left in the freezer this past week. Now that Logan is out of school it means that I have to drag all 3 kids to the grocery during the week. So I have just kept putting it off for obvious reason.
I have to say that I will do what ever possible to NEVER have to bring all 3 kids to the store alone again! EVER,EVER, EVER!!!!
Can you tell how well it went?
I thought I was prepared. I was wrong.
I made a little picture grocery list of things for the kids so they each had their own list and even let them hold some coupons keep them busy looking for stuff.
I didn't even make it out of the produce section before Annika had eaten half of Abi's list and Logan and was dropping ears of corn all over the place.(Why don't they give us better bags for the corn anyway??) By the time we reached the bread Isle I made a big mistake and let Logan out of the big part of the cart to "help" because I was running out of space (~ not a good sign!) By the check out I was actually sweating!~ Who knew that grocery shopping could become an aerobic activity?
I don't think I got half of what wanted and I don't even have an idea what we have to make a complete dinner for tonight, that is really sad, after almost an hour and a half in HELL and almost 150$ later!
They definitely won this round~ I am such a sucker.

Happy Fathers Day!
Logan is into coloring with all of his cool new stuff he got for his Birthday.
So we just got back from picking up some Fathers day gifts and he decided to draw a picture of Erik for his Fathers day card. He came in and asked me how I liked it and I must say it was pretty good, It had a little patch of red on top for his hair and a chocolate bar in one hand a beer in the other (does he know him or what!). Then I asked where his ears were and of course he had an answer, he said " behind, his hair, you just can't see them!". So then I asked noticing that he didn't have a nose, "Well how does he smell?"
his response "Umm stinky!!" Yep he definitely has this one pegged!

Dog days of summer?
Finally the warm weather is hitting us and boy is it hitting us hard! Yesterday the kids and I walked to a park about a mile away, which started off with just a walk and ended up with a day at the park. Half way there I was pushing all 3 in the stroller~ Yes all 100 lbs!! In 87 degrees smut. It wasn't just hot but the humidity seems to be way too summer like for me.
Once we got to the deserted park, the kids ran around and I tried to ease Annika into sitting in the grass. I love the age where they don't know what grass is and really don't want to either, which I found out was the case last week while at yet another park. Annika shrieked and pulled her legs up and clung to my shirt. I know I am wiered but it was a little comforting, she is my baby and I don't want her down exploring and all independent yet. I do want her to be exposed to all the things the world has to help her learn and grow~ but at the same time, I'm silly about wanting her to stay just where she is too. Yesterday she seemed to be taking great leaps and actually sat in the grass, pulling at what was poking her chubby thighs. She would stop and look up at me with wonder, a whole new world!
Logan came and sat down next to us and was all excited for her, encouraging her to crawl in it~ luckily she dined ;) For the first time this week it seems like Logan is actually interested in sitting down and talking and having a conversation, it seemed strange that I even noticed a difference because he does talk a lot but not just casual, "Hi Mom, how are you?" "What did you do today?" stuff. It's usually a bunch of mumbo jumbo about something he is making up, or asking for something. Yesterday he just plopped down and sat and talked, asking questions about me and Annika and suggesting that park for a camp out with his tent. It may have been he was just tired and didn't have any more energy to move, or maybe it was me actually having time to sit in an empty field with no computer, T.V, laundry, dishes, or time restrictions to disturb me from noticing that my kids are growing faster than I can keep track of. Hopefully the rest of the summer will hold many more of these moments, and I will have the sense to not let them pass by.
