family updates

Oh boy it has been busy, busy, busy for this family. Let's see, where do I start...
Well, Sunday was Briahnna's 12th birthday. Since it is volleyball season we decided to not have a a party because of how busy the family's schedule is. I let the kid decide what she wanted as her special birthday dinner. This is what she decided on...

Jumbo shrimp cocktail (that's my kid!)

Fried chicken tenders, steamed broccoli, homemade mac'n'cheese, and corn on the cob.

She was happy with her choices.

Poor little Milo just won't give this toy up. The more beat up the toy the better it is to him. Milo, it's time to let it go.

Here is Will sleeping on his daddy. Yes, he is drooling!

The girls are both a part of their school's volleyball team. Briahnna is a team manager and Chardonnay is one of the talented athletes. They played their first game yesterday and won! I would have taken photos but the hubby had the camera last and did not recharge the battery. This was all I got...

Briahnna had to steal a quick kiss from little brother before I yelled at her to get back to her manager's post. Can you tell that William does not get enough attention?

We have games every Wednesday until October 22. I try to do as much as I can always to support the kids. I baked about 2 dozen giant chocolate chip cookies for a bake sale at school and Chardonnay sent me a text to tell me they sold out in a minute! Some of them were already purchased by my family before they even made it out the door. That was worth my 3 hours in the kitchen! I know I spent more than they probably made but the kids are more than worth it. Okay that's enough for now. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Question

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they listen to what you have to say for a minute and then say "anyway" and proceed to speak? Do you ever feel as if they are dismissing you? Do you think it is rude when that person seems to keep using the word 'anyway' throughout the conversation?

I want another baby

As I drove my girls to school this morning a strange feeling came over me. I want another baby. Do I really want William to grow up without any siblings closer to his age? After all, the girls are 2 years apart and have grown up together and they are never alone. I guess I grew up with three siblings so I have always been used to a large family. I know my hubby will read this and freak out! I just really would not mind having another little one. I do have a cousin that recently had her 4th child and she has offered for me to borrow one of hers. Maybe I should take the cheap route and do that! But just in case, I will hang onto all my baby stuff for a little while. :)
