Cole's Party!

Cole is officially three! I am so struggling watching them grow up cause I just want them to stay small and cute. Mind you-there are DEFINITELY days were I am like okay, less diapers, less teething, more sleep....I could handle them growing up! 

Anyways, this year we got the hall at our Church for free, so that was perfect. I love love love to party plan, so I got a few things done to help make it more "Batman". With him and Caleb having birthday's so close (especially with Christmas in there) I did not get as much done as I would have liked, but I am still happy with the outcome.

I think the big hit of the party was when Batman came. Cole was in shock and than became very excited. Of course, some kids were scared, but honestly I am surprised more were not scared! It is a big man in tights that they don't know.....they should be scared! LOL!

I hope everyone had a good time...I always have a hard time at parties because so many friends and family come and I want to socialize with everyone, but I always feel like I leave people out cause I am so busy with the party....I hate that part. I feel bad for not sitting down and visiting with everyone. I guess it can't be helped, but I still feel bad. Anyways, I will leave some pics to finish off this post, and chat with ya later!

Drama and the Flu!

Well, Cole's party as a big hit, I will blog more about that next time. Today I wanna blog about drama. Why do we seem to have it in our lives all the time? I have friends who are drama free and I try to surround myself by them as much as I can, because I just can't stand the "catty-ness" some women have. It's like highschool....so and so said this, well, no but she said that, oh my can you believe she did that....so drama filled! And so much of it is lies, and you never know who to believe because they tend to push each other under the bus, so its very much she said-she said. But why is this all necessary? What if we were all just honest, and open, and friendly. Ugh. I just don't get it. Sometimes a friendship means understanding, caring and compassion....actually....that is what a friendship means. My friends are busy Mom's (for the most part). So if they can't get together for a casual supper next week, I get it. They are busy, and next week when they invite me out I may not be able to make it either. Why get all upset over it....we are busy Mama's, Wives, Workers, etc. So much responsibility falls on our shoulders. Which brings me to another grumpy moment....why us? Why do the men get to go to work, enjoy the time with their co-workers, never once considering what we are going through as stay at home mom's. I know I took this job on to be their Mama, and I love it....but why is it my responsibility ALL the time....most men don't even know what happens during the day, it just magically happens! 

I sound a little bitter today probably....sorry about that...I just have had a rough week. The flu invaded our house this week and we have had three days of constant sickness....ugh. So I am over tired, achy and probably a bit grumpy.

Let's hope this week ends better than it started. And I am eliminating the drama. Effective now!

So behind!

I am so behind in the blogging world. Well, I guess not really behind, but I feel like I am. I wanted to blog about so many things but my old blog was not working, so let's hope this works!

Over the next few weeks I wanna blog about my life, and what is going on with it. If you want to see specific things just ask and I will try and work on that too. Right now I am gearing up for Cole's Third Birthday party on Saturday, which I am excited for. He wanted Batman, and I love to have everything themed, so hopefully this turns out! He has 9 little friends coming, and there will be lots of adults. I love celebrating birthdays and party planning. Hard to believe he is three, but he is. Sometimes I feel like just yesterday I was pregnant with him, than other day's I feel like he has been here forever and can't imagine life without him. And now that I have two sons, life is so hectic and busy I barely ever have time to marvel at how fast they are growing. I fear that I will look back one day and it will all seem like a dream!
