Princess movies...Yay!

My little men are in for a rude awakening. Along with little sisters come princess movies. "Tangled" being the movie in question. They refused to have anything to do with it until Kyle {who wanted to stay with a sitter} talked to his cousin, Will, who had seen it and gave Kyle his okay. Noah wanted to go to Dawn Dawn's house and watch "Star Wars" instead. Turns out....

...they both loved it. {Noah can't stop talking about the part where she gets "tangled up" in her own hair.} Hmmmm, I wonder if "Sleeping Beauty" would go over as well...

My Funny Valentine's

Adam was out of town for Valentine's Day but that didn't mean I was left Valentineless. In fact I had TWO and boy are they sweet.
I won't lie to you though. This was probably my least favorite V-day. Okay, not probably. It WAS...by far! As much as I LOVE watching "Mickey Mouse Playhouse" on the night for lovers well... My honey who has been my Valentine for the past 6 years was nowhere NEAR me on the 14th of February. When I told people that Adam was going to be out of town for V-day, I was loaded with sympathy and plenty of "Ohhhhhhhh!" 's. I shrugged them off honestly feeling it was no biggie. I was wrong. By the time evening rolled around I was feeling pretty pathetic and lonely. Keep in mind that Adam had been gone for 4 days by this point. A long time for me! And to top it off we had barely managed a "hello" by phone all day. It also didn't help that everyone's status on Facebook stated that they had had the "most wonderful Valentine's EVER." Well, that's funny because mine was the WORST ever. Okay not really.
So now that a few days have passed and Adam is home I've decided that I'm just grateful that I have a wonderful husband who is my Valentine year around. Who needs Valentine's Day anyway? Not me...I think...
BTW- Adam made it up to me when he got home.
You can go ahead and get your mind out of the gutter now.

How bad could V-day be with these two monkey's?!

Winnie the Pooh will always be welcome here.

My feelings are nothing new and have plagued many a mommy before me.
I have recently felt the anxiety that many mommy's feel when they realize that their baby won't be a baby forever. i.e. Kyle has taken a liking to Winnie the Pooh and therefore goes around the house singing "Winnie the Pooh" to himself. This is an everyday occurrence. However, yesterday as he was singing it the unfortunate thought occurred to me, "Before you know it "Winnie the Pooh" will be gone only to be replaced by 'Winnie' the girl. And various other scary things.
As much as I dislike these rude interruptions of thought in my life, I am also thankful for them. I am given the opportunity to re-focus my priorities and what is truly important. Facebook can wait. Dusting can wait. (It always does.) Even my blog can wait. But my growing baby boys will not. Listening to Noah sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and the ABC's verbatim or watching Kyle develop a new passion for puzzles. These years are but a flash. I don't want to take them for granted. My boys are so sweet. I hope they both ALWAYS know how much their Mommy loves them.
