Never too young

We start Jedi Training early in this house. It is so cute that Max and Mae are starting to play with each other. A few days ago I observed them playing a game of peek a boo. Mae was just busting at the seams when Max would run and hide then pop back out. She got so excited that she decided to try it herself. Hilarity ensued. On another note. I had a bad anxiety attack on the way to the store yesterday afternoon. I was crying at the intersection praying for help and Max asking me what was wrong. I recovered a bit and ran into Allen's grocery store, and who was there but my visiting teacher. She saw me came over and before we even started talking she asked if she could take Max to the park with her boys. Prayer answered.

Star Wars Party

We decided to throw a party for Max. What was I thinking? Ooof I am so tired. But it was well worth it. Max and his friends had a great time. We made lightsabers, fought a dinosaur pinata and played with Jedi in the sand. Max got lots of great presents.

Up and at Em Mae

She has been climbing this table but can't quite get back down.

Focus

Can you guess what movie is on?

Hey! Where's My Present?

Four years ago today I gave birth to a 10 pound 9 ounce baby boy. As you can imagine, I had tearing all the way. Long difficult healing ahead of me. So I ask you, where the Hell is my present?

Float My Boat

Mae loves going to the pool now cause with the aid of her baby float she can basically walk. She also likes to straight up float though. There is nothing cuter then chubby baby legs floating under the water. Max scares me at the pool. He is only 4 and already likes to see how long he can hold his breath.

Happy Birthday Max!

Happy Happy Birthday Max Dear.
Happy Days will come to you all year,
if I had a wish,
well, it would be,
a Happy Happy Birthday to you from me!

My boy is 4 today. He is obesssed with Star Wars and video games. He can tell his left from his right. He loves his baby sister, as long as she doesn't touch him. He thinks he is the funniest guy in the world, and loves to make people laugh. He can get a bit whinny, but is so loving and sweet that it more then makes up for it.

Cause it is Friday

We are making forts and potato rolls. Except Max won't call it a fort he wants to call it a cage?!? Not sure where he got that. It has been a very good day, I went to my new playgroup, (which will be discussed in another post,) and sold a big window for $65 on craigslist! Now just watching the kids and enjoying the air conditioning.

Mae Maureen, Jedi Knight

Cause we are all Jedi here.

Tears, Rants, and Other Emotional Outbursts

So I finally went to the doctor yesterday and have been started taking birth control to help even my hormones out. Wahoo! I have always liked most of the effects of the pill, so I am fine with this prescription. I have been so spastic lately that I almost burst into teats upon seeing my OBGYN. Now I do really like her, but that was a bit excessive for me. Then not a half hour later while having lunch with Jeff I was actually drumming on the table and bouncing in my seat. So here's to hoping that my pills kick in soon and even me out. A few dear thank yous need to be given. Thanks to Dandi my new friend for being such a big support. I was a bit weary about reaching out for help from her seeing as we are still in the honeymoon phase of our friendship, but she offered and is still talking to me so, yea! Thanks to Jill for taking my kids. I called her in tears not sure what I was doing and she directed me to her house. A big thanks to Samantha for the phone calls and clearing her schedule to have lunch, (those of you who know Samantha know how busy she is.) Thanks to my family for the support and most of all Thanks to Jeff for not leaving me! Well not yet...

The pics are from Jeff taking Max out for walk away from crazy mommy. Or reason number #65 why everyone needs to move to Arkansas. This exotic local is only 5 min from our house.

not even close

Max has been telling knock knock jokes...kinda. He says "Knock knock" to which I respond, "who's there?" Followed by his reply of a group of people, his favorite being the Muffin Man, but sometimes banana man, carrot man, star wars man. But here is where things deteriorate; when I respond by saying my line..."Muffin Man who?" He just starts over again, but of course he laughs and thinks he has finished the joke properly. So I guess as long as he is laughing all is good.

Go Sell Crazy Somewhere Else

So Mae is done nursing and I am crazy as a loon going through some sort of hormone with drawl. Lets hope this clears up soon or I'll probably go see my GYN.
CRAZY.
I now absolve myself from anything that comes out of my mouth until at least next week, so probably best not to call. My already questionable filter is pretty much gone. HA! I noticed that Jeff has already been fielding some calls.

p.s. I originally posted this without a picture, but I really hate posting without a visual aid for all you visual learners out there. So for some additional whimsy here is my favorite post from passiveagressivenotes I love this so much and really want to meet and make friends with the second Dave.
