Moving...

By Jaisey
We are moving to Hawaii! We move in June. It will be here before we know it and there is so much to do. But most importantly, we have to teach the boys. So we teaching them to say Aloha and Hawaii right now. It is so cute because Adin can't quite make his mouth work to say Hawaii. It sounds more like "Huh-wy-Ugh!" It is soo fricking adorable. We keep showing them pictures of the beaches and fish and stuff. So now every time I start to walk up the stairs into the office, they both get excited because they think that I am going to show them more pictures. Chris and I are super stressed out about all of the things we have to do, so it is a bit of a stress reliever to look at pictures of beaches and fish. Better than staring at calenders and web sites trying to figure everything out. As it stands now, we want to try and get home to Illinois before we PCS because with the four of us, plane tickets are going to be outrageous. Oh well, three years on a tropical island will be worth it. We hope...
 

Children Drive Me Crazy

By Jaisey
I love my job. I love being able to watch the growth and development in my boys first hand. But, as with any other job, there are days that I want to quit. Days that all the boys want to do is fight and throw things and make really big messes. Days when Adin is watching TV and every commercial he sees, he goes, "I want that, I want that, I want that Mommy! We get that Mommy?" For the entire duration of the commercials. And of course all the advertising on Nick jr is targeted for his age group, so I hear that a lot some days. Take yesterday, the boys were running around like crazy as usual. Jumping up and down on everything and scream/singing at the top of their lungs. When Daddy came home, he asked me if they are like that all day, every day. I told him, most days, yes they are. He shook his head and told me that he has no clue how the hell I do it. How I am home all day long with that without going crazy. I often wonder the same thing. Sometimes I look in the mirror and am amazed that I have any hair left at all. So far today is a good day. The boys are playing toys quitetly. But it's only 10:35 AM, so that could change in the blink of an eye. Lets hope not though.
