2 of my boys are home...

I know they didn't REALLY grow a few inches in three weeks, but it seemed like it...we had to wait a while for their luggage, and didn't get home until 1:00am, which seemed like 7 am to them...they were like zombies, but excited happy zombies...


So today I had a few places to go. My sis-in-law told me that BJ's had cereal, triple boxes of LuckyCharms/CocoaPuffs/Trix for $2.50 after the coupons, which were in the store. I got 5 boxes. We got a few other things, then I took the kids to lunch at the Chinese buffet...I had a card that had enough stamps for one free lunch....so it wasn't too bad. It was nice to have Aaron and Samuel along. They had alot to tell us about.

We then stopped at Blockbuster and got 9 movies for 5 dollars....with the Rewards card, the shelf titles are rent one get one free on Mon. through Wed. and I had rented so many of those, I got a free rental...so I got a new release for free....Coroline...it was kind of scary for the little ones, so they went off and played...but I liked it. We got 3D glasses for it. Some of us want to watch it again.....

So tonight I made some homemade scalloped potatoes, broccoli, and hot dogs and hamburgers. No spills tonight, but when Aaron was shaking up the hot sauce, he shook too hard and hit the edge of his Corelle plate, it shattered...his dinner was full of shards....as was Jon's....what a mess....I hope we didn't miss any pieces.

I was loading up the dishwasher and washing up the pans, Samuel was sweeping, the girls were clearing the table and bringing me the dishes, and Aaron was reading stories. Camille had pooped. Aaron changed her, no problem. Wow, is it nice to have these boys home or what? Oh, not that they are cleaning machines or anything, but they certainly pitch in.

Jonathan picked out a Curious George dvd today, it has some episodes of the tv show on it. It is a cute show, I really think they did a good job bringing George to the screen. He is cute and curious without being too irritatingly troublesome.

Charlotte Claire ran out of steam early tonight, she never naps any more, and gets tired...Camille is still going strong....Jon and Sonja K. are going to bed right after this episode....Kathryn turned the hot tub up to 102 today, so I am looking forward to getting sweetie-pie Monkey Jam-Jam in bed tonight...

Well, Miss M. Jam-Jams pooped AGAIN, and if I don't drop everything and change her, she will change herself....

Oh, I have to get caught up on reading your blog b/c I haven't gotten on and read in soooo long! But I LOVE hearing about your life! I am so glad your boys are home!! I'll be reading and commenting later--I just didn't want you to think I wasn't reading/didn't care! :)

I am impressed that your son changed a poopy diaper, I can't even get my husband to do that, lol.

We love Curious George too, he's so cute.
