I hate date night

I bet you've never heard a mother of 4 kids say that, but I do, I hate date night. As long as it consists of going through the toils of getting a babysitter only to pay to park so I can trudge through the bitter cold over to the Energy Solutions Arena and have my hopes dashed once again. Really, it's the Wizards. I can't wait for the Jazz season to be over so I can go on a real date again. I don't even know if there are any good movies out now. The Jazz are lame.

P.S. Josh is cute though!
P.P.S. Sorry about the cell phone picture. Isn't technology great:) (Roll my eyes)

Is it nap time again already?

Seth is not allowed to have his binky in his mouth at all times anymore. We have restricted him to his binky only at nap time. He really loves his binky so he decided to get twice the binky fix today at nap time.


Sorry, I made this post from my phone and I don't know how to rotate the picture. So turn your head sideways.

This is just ridiculous

This post may seem ridiculous to some of you out there. Others of you may be able to relate. Nevertheless, I needed to document it so I could remember this forever. I haven't had 2 kids in diapers previous to now. First of all it is so ridiculous to me the sheer number of diapers that I go through. Secondly, I am ever impressed by the game of tag team that these boys play without even knowing they are doing it. (or do they know?) Lastly, I am always in awe of the size and weight difference of the two diapers. It is so crazy that Seth can turn over a 2 pounder while Josh leaves me wishing I didn't waste that diaper. (Or did I?) It's all so crazy and....ridiculous.

The baby is blessed

Josh is officially 2 months old. We blessed him last week and it was beautiful. Ben always does such a wonderful job preparing and being in tune so that he can be inspired and know what to bless these boys of ours with.
 I go to the doctor next week and will find out his 2 month stats, but until then enjoy some pictures that I took of him on Sunday. He is a very sweet baby. He smiles, and tries to laugh. He loves it when you stop and stare at him for a while. He loves that interaction. He has a toy that he lays under with toys that dangle. He has figured out that if he swings his arm just right they will swing. That makes him smile. I feel so very blessed to be Josh's mother. He is a very happy and scrumptious baby.

Friday Fun...grandma, it's just for fun!

Man Crushes:

I am copying this idea from Aubrey because it's fun, and it's Friday. . . so it works for Friday fun. 

Any of you out there have a "man crush"?  I know you're thinking to yourselves. . .how can I have a "man crush" when I am happily married?  Well, let's just say that we're all human. . . and while we love our husbands, we can still have "crushes" on people.  Will we do anything about these crushes?  No!  Of course not!  If I was to meet one of these people in real life I'm sure that I would be so nervous, or star struck that I wouldn't even have the courage to say anything to them. I would just gawk and giggle like a giddy school girl. Plus, it's a nice ironic twist for Friday fun to list man crushes on Valentines Day weekend. So without further ado, here are my Top 5 man crushes:

#5: Adam Brody. Ever since I was addicted to the OC in 2006 i have always crushed on Adam, and I am awaiting the day when he does something mainstream and new so I can look at him some more on my TV. For now I have to settle for re-runs of the OC on DVD. "SIGH"

 

 #4-Jesse Bradford-He came to me from the good old stupid teen flick movie "Bring It On." I think I have a thing for dark hair and quirky looks. It's just so cute!

#3-Mark Ruffalo- This man I fell in love with from a bunch of movies. He once again has the dark hair and quirky smile. He however has more of an older man look to me than Adam, or Jesse. He's hot!

 

#2-This one was too hard to choose. Taylor Lautner vs. Zac Efron... I can't choose? I know that these two are both big with the teens, but I am willing to risk looking foolish for putting them on my list because I am older than a standard giddy and trendy teen. What can I say, I can look at them all day.

 

Hey, he doesn't have dark hair...and he's on my list. It's a miracle.

##1

My top pick for man crushes is the one and only Channing Tatum. I was introduced to him when I watched "She's the Man." He is the candy to my eye, and my #1 pick for celebrity man crushes.
