Busy Busy Busy...

I have been trying for what seems like forever to get on here & post. I tried yesterday & wouldn't you know it the site was down. Well the trio & I have been BUSY. To start we had a wonderful Easter. The kids woke up took a bath got dressed & then S & I told them to wait in the hallway to make sure the Easter bunny had visited our house. Of course we were just getting the cameras ready so we could capture their expressions when then saw their loot. They came around the corner and their little eyes were the size of 1/2 dollars...We aren't real big on giving our kids candy so the Easter bunny brought them stuff for the pool/beach, new jammies, new underwear, jump ropes & some new books. They also got a new toy each. Our friends came over after noon and we had a easter egg hunt. They had a blast! The weather was beautiful, thankfully. We all then enjoyed a nice dinner together & called it a night. Perfect day... The weather around here has just been so crazy.... Hot, Warm, Rainy, Cold... UGH! I never know if I need to turn on the heat or open the doors and let the beautiful weather in. After Easter we had a warm week which allowed us to use our new pool (just a big blow up pool we bought from Costco). Our friends came over two days (maybe it was three days) in a row & we had fun all day outside. The kids LOVED the pool. I was a good mommy & put sunscreen on my kids but I neglected myself and burned the shit out of my chest. I am now peeling & I have a patch of sun poisening. What an idiot! I'm 36 wouldn't you think I would know better. I'm paying for it now. Wednesday was my friends birthday so after a day in the pool we got ready & we all went to dinner at Islands. Such a GREAT place for small kids. It was good time for all. So on to something else...the kids have been saying the funniest things lately of course now that I am ready to write all these funny things down I am having "mommy brain" & can't remember one thing. They just speak so well & amaze me/us everyday. Of course the speaking well also allows them to talk back to us. We have been using a bar of soap for all the talking back. It has only been used a few times but the threat works wonders. Three, three year olds can be very trying at times. As for the potty training issues we had a few weeks ago with my son that seems to be fixed. Of course yesterday he waited to long to get on the potty to poop & it must of been coming out while he was scooting himself up onto the seat. He did try to clean it up himself but it was everywhere on the front of the seat. EEWWWWW Gross! Like I've said before never a dull moment. We did have lunch with our friends yesterday at Chilis & then enjoyed "free" ice cream day at Ben & Jerry's. In case anyone is wondering, our friends that I keep referring to is my friend D & her 3 year old triplets. As you can see we keep each other sain & our kids are the best of friends so we try to do tons of stuff together. Well thats it for now. Ciao!

What a Week...

AHHHH! What a wonderful week we had with our company. My Best Friend & her two children (A 15yrs & L 9yrs) came in from LV NV last Saturday. My friend, myself & my husband drove into Palm Desert that afternoon to visit with some old friends we hadnt seen in YEARS. Wow have people changed....lol... Ok so the girls still looked great for the most part but the guys have really aged. None the less it was a good time. Sunday we spent the day shopping and hanging out. Monday & Tuesday a little more shopping & a little more hanging out. Its great having the adult conversation and having A & L here to entertain the triplets. We decided that we would go to CA Adventure park on Wednesday. We got to the park at about noon & didn't leave until after 10. It was a very long day for all but it was so much fun. We had zero meltdowns which is always a plus +++++..... My Aunt & Cousins were also at the park as were some friends of my friend from NV. Thursday we woke up TIRED..... My husband, my friend & myself got up and went to Pacific Beach to be tattooed (again) by Randy.... ( www.inutattoo.com ) S got his side done & it looks incredible but I have never seen him in so much pain. He got an old ship right on his rib cage...OUCHY! He looked miserable the entire time. Poor guy...lol..... I got my other wrist done with three cherry blossoms one for each of the kids. It was much more painful than my other wrist. It felt like I was having my wrist slit with tiny razor blades. Another friend of ours that we hadn't seen for years joined us at the shop for some interesting conversation. Another llllooooonnngggg day..... Thank god for A she is a wonderful babysitter. Well sadly Friday morning our friends had to leave...... Good thing though because it poured all day. Tomorrow is Easter and our good friend D & her triplets are coming over for the day. It should be a nice day out & I know the kids are looking forward to it. Till next time.. Ciao

Happy Friday!

Well we survived yet another week as three year olds....LOL.... We had rainy weather Mon-Wed so we were going a bit stir crazy. We did venture out on Wed. (between rainfall) to meet our friends at the mall for lunch & a visit with the Easter Bunny. Yesterday was a beautiful day & our friends came over for a playdate. Our kids get a long so good together its always fun to have them around. Of course the mommy conversation is always a HUGE plus too. I almost forgot Wed. was mine & S's 9 year Anniversary. He got off early from work which was so nice. My Dad came over at about 5:30 to babysit & S & I headed out to dinner. Our plans were to eat at the Mission Hotel in Riverside but when we got there all the restaurants were packed & there was a waiting list so we ventured across the street to a restaurant called Marios. They too were packed but had seating available in the bar. It was a very sophisticated and elegant place so even the bar area was nice. We had tickets to see Ron White the comedian at 8pm so we couldnt wait for a table & settled for the bar area. Our dinner was faulous & we even shared a dessert. The whole night was very relaxing & Ron White was hilarious. Oh did I mention I have been PMS'ing like a mad woman all week? UGH! its been awful. I swear I never had PMS like this before children. I'm a maniac.......Well I am very excited about this weekend my very best friend & her two children (9 & 15) are coming for a week. We always have a blast when they are here & the kids LOVE them. We have been friends since the 7th grade so we go way back. Well I guess I will write a little about the kids now. The kids are three as I have mentioned before & they are very sweet, loving, caring, friendly, smart, happy oh & the BIG one DEFIANT..... Oh my if I say yes they say NO if I say its hot they say their COLD if I say stop running they run FASTER... Your getting the picture right? DEFIANT, DEFIANT DEFIANT! I know they are just testing their boundries at this age but does it have to be with everything they do? We have also taken up putting soap in their teeth for sassing us. One of my daughters got it twice the other day & I had to laugh (to myself) because while she was standing there with the soap in her teeth she yelled out "NOT AGAIN". My kids speak very well for three year olds & they LOVE to repeat what they hear. I have a very bad habit of NOT watching what I say around them and the other day my daughter R repeated one of my sayings..Not once but twice...I have told them it is a Mommy saying & that they are not to say those kinds of things & that Mommy is going to work on not saying bad things also. I know I am the one at fault here & I need to watch my trucker mouth a bit closer. More POWER to me! Well its time to clean the house for our company. Till next time. Ciao

AHHHH a Nice Weekend....

Well, we had a nice weekend. The kids & I & our friends (D & her triplets) went shopping all day on Saturday & spent way to much money. The kids were all GREAT. We then came back to our house for some dinner and playtime. Sunday we went to breakfast, did the grocery store as a family (I HATE to market alone) and then S washed the Suburban for me & the kids played outside. The weather man keeps calling for rain but we havent had any. I want SPRING to arrive already. Winter use to be my favorite time of year but since the kids have come along I can't stand it. I am a complete germ phobe & I am absolutely paranoid of my kids geting the stomache flu which is running rampid right now. I santize, sanitize & then sanitize some more. Puke is so gross! I myself haven't thrown up since I was in the 4th grade I am now 36 years old...LOL.... I can't imagine what it will be like when all three end up with the pukies at the same time.....YUCK! Well here is to a wonderful week ahead.... Ciao!
