Cool Mom

Wouldn't everyone want to eat tomato soup and grill cheese sandwiches for supper if their sandwiches looked like this. YES, they are heart shaped.

I had these sandwiches left over from a brunch I did. I was so proud of myself. I am not going to get to blog about the brunch because I forgot to take any pictures. RATS

Only In Arkansas

Only in Arkansas can you drive behind someone that opens their door at every stop light to spit. Of course they must have just moved here because if you were a true Arkansan you could role down your window going 60 and spit a big old loogie out and not get it on your car or you face. You have to know the correct technique of spitting into the wind. My dad could give lessons if anyone is interested.

Only in Arkansas can you go by the local car wash and see someone washing his dog.

Only in Arkansas does your neighbour pull his lawnmower behind his four wheeler to mow his grass.

Only in Arkansas can you see a mom breastfeeding a baby at a machine pitch baseball game. And she can still be the loudest mom out there. We won't mention any names.

These are just a few of the things that I experienced today. hahaha

Fishing

This was our first fishing trip of the summer. We usually go down to the river by our house. We can usually catch perch and sometimes a few small bass. We fish with worms so therefore most of the time during the summer I have worms in my refrigerator. Ooh the life with boys. Anyway we caught a couple of perch and a small bass on this fishing trip. Noah is pretty good at casting and we make him bait his own hook. I grew up where if you didn't bait your own hook you didn't get to fish. I am not making Andrew bait his own hook yet. He really doesn't usually fish much because he is to busy talking loud, throwing rocks in the water or falling in himself. He hasn't started following good fishing etiquette yet. Oh well we still usually all have a good time.

Yes, this is Noah in the background casting. Guess how many times I have to tell him to watch what he is doing. The first time I get a hook in the face, there won't nobody be happy.

Andrew had the job of sticking the pacifier back in . Ti was just hanging out in his carrier. He finally went to sleep. He wasn't to interested in the fishing thing.


Here is the first catch of the evening.

This was a small bass. I hooked it and Noah reeled it in.

I hope when the boys get older they will remember these times. I still remember fishing out of my dad's john boat. It's name was visitation. That way when people called the house we could say he was out on visitation. haha

Our Cuties

Ti will be three months old in a few days.

We won't talk about the fight to get the two older ones to smile and look at the camera.

Rain - Good for Something

At least the rain is good for something. These flowers are in the flowerbed at the side of my house.

Look Whose Smiling

Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of a baby actually smiling and looking at you at the same time? Ti started smiling at about 2.5 months old. He weighs about 12 pounds and is starting to sleep a little better at night. I think he is getting cuter every day. Of course I might be biased being the mom and all.

Not Me Monday - late

I have decided to do another Not Me Monday Entry. If you would like to join me in letting everyone no how life actually is please feel free.

I would never cut heart sandwiches and throw the rest of the edges away just to be a cool mom. That would be totally wasteful right?

I would never turn the baby monitor off at night just to get some sleep. Especially since you can only hear the real loud screaming from our room to Titus'.

I would never tell the boys to come look at a dead mouse we caught in a trap. Really that would just be gross.

I would not mow my grass while it was still damp and leave big clods of grass in my yard just because I thought it would rain the rest of the week. Really everybody knows I am the yard Nazi.

I would not wear the same pair of sweatpants two days in a row because I didn't want to dirty up a new pair since I was going to be mowing. And I would never go out in public in said sweatpants and then see tons of people I know.

I would never eat two pieces of cake with ice cream right before going to bed. Especially since I know I still can't fit into my old clothes very good. And I would never blog about that while eating oreos and ice cream and drinking a vanilla coke. Man that makes me feel fat just typing it out.

I would never catch my four year old setting on top of our car by looking out the bathroom window. And this four year would never try to deny it by saying you couldn't see me.

These are just a few of the things that I haven't done lately. What about you?
