Weekend Randomness

Well the weekend came and went so fast as always. It was rainy for the most part and I was either at home or out shopping for the kids. Little William has outgrown pretty much everything so I had to get some things for him. I have really learned that for every 5 articles of clothing you find for boys there are about 100 for girls! Then for some reason you pay more for boys' clothes. Strange. I was lucky enough to get a few things on clearance for about $3 so I will be happy with that. I had to go buy Chardonnay a semi-formal dress for her 8th grade dance. That took us weeks because nothing seemed to want to fit! She's pretty small so we had to find a dress that was going to be small enough. Ah, the size zero days...miss them dearly ;) I will be sure to snap photos when she is all glammed up in her dress and NO Dwayne is not chaperoning. ha ha!! She told me she would not mind if I went but her dad absolutely was not allowed to go! I told her I would pass on going and let her have her fun. They sure grow up fast. Next stop, High School. I hope you all have a great Monday!!

When William gets too quiet

Some days I have that quick moment that I have to leave William alone to do a simple task. When I hear silence I get a bit worried and wonder what he's doing that he's not supposed to. Is he playing with the dog's water bowl? Did he find his way into the bathroom or one of the bedrooms?? Is he trying to open the front door?

Lately I have been catching him doing this:

He "reads" to himself. How cute is that??

Been out of town

Wow, I can't believe it's been 4 days since I last posted! Our family went on a road trip up to Lynchburg, Virginia for the weekend and I am trying to get back into my normal routine. It's amazing how you can be gone for just a few days and you get totally out of whack! William did well overall with the exception of his wake-up time. He normally wakes up at 7:30 each morning and that has now turned into 6:30. I am hoping it is temporary because that one hour makes a HUGE difference! The girls went back to school today so I am sure they will be dragging most of the day. I sure am glad that I busted my butt to clean my house before we left. There is nothing like coming home from a road trip and everything is nice and neat. I looked around this morning and it looks like a small storm passed through *sighs* I guess it is that way with a big family. I hope all the moms out there had a spectacular Mother's day. I think the best part for me was the girls telling me that they think Mother's day should be everyday and not just once a year. I thought that was so sweet. Either they really are that sweet or they have mastered the art of manipulation! ha! I hope you all have a great Monday :)
