A lil bit of this and that

The beans go back to school today and I am both Happy & Sad about this. I will surely miss the sleeping in but I won't miss this:

Mom ginger got a pad....yiyiyiyiyi

Mommmmm Reese doesn't know how to aim when he goes to the bathroom

Mom I am going to Cams house see you in 72hrs

Your breath smells like cat poo

Mommmmm she kicked me

Mommmm I need 376 kajillion dollars to go to the mall

Georgina I am mad at you,you need to tell me sorry, Don't Love J

Dear Turkey, I am sorry I had to eat you-again, you looked good,maybe next year will be the pigs turn Love J

I'm rubber you are glue bounce off me stuck on you Over and Over an Over

Mom Mom Mom Mom

Mom Reese blew a booger out his nose and it landed on my chin

Mommmmmm he is chasing me with another one

Your farts smell like mini me

You are NOT my brother the mailman left you in the mailbox and mom and dad felt sorry for you

Okay so you get the idea-a Mothers work is never done, now I can dig the earplugs out of my ears

In other news around the blogosphere:

It is time for the 2008 Okie Blog Award Nominations
If you are a Blogger living in Oklahoma then you are eligible to nom and vote-I took some time this weekend to check out Blog Oklahoma and found some great Okie bloggers. I sent in my ballot and can't wait to see who made the list.

The Ninth Annual Weblog Awards aka The Bloggies are accepting nominations right now also. It was brought to my attention that someone nom'd this blog for 'Best-Kept Secret Weblog' which is so humbling to me-so if you get a chance click the link above and go nom some of your favorite blogs.

I have gotten a few emails asking about Daddy and how he is doing-his radiation treatments are going well and he is ornery as ever. He sells mangosteen and they have a new face cream line out now so that is keeping him busy telling everyone he meets about this product. Daddy doesn't know a stranger!

---------------------------------------


Mr gp works in the BOK building in downtown Tulsa-he is one of the many building engineers that keep the BOK tower running smooth-The beans and I decided to surprise mr gp with dinner one evening since he was working a double shift. Here are a few pics

The BOK Tower as of right now is the tallest building in Oklahoma-I believe OKC is building one that will be taller

We went on the roof and snapped a few pics

The New BOK Center


A Lil History on Williams they just celebrated 100 years
These aren't your Grandpas tools
Middle bean has a style all his own-it drives me CRAZY but pick your battles eh?
Thanks for the tour daddy

My confession for today: I can't believe I will have a day all to myself...ahhhhhh

  1. I have an odd sense of peace and quiet right now since everyone is back to their regular schedules, too. I don't even mind Beebs and her loud new toys and listening to her yelling the answers out loud at Diego and Dora- it's still much more relaxing than the older kids and my husband!

  7. I thankful only had one child or no children for the better part of the last week. Interestingly, when they got back together there wasn't as much fighting. It was a beautiful twelve hours!

  9. My older two went back to school and me and my preschooler have been on the couch all morning in our pj's. I figure I better shower now and get him to preschool on time!

    The quietness seems a little odd. I guess I'll look forward to spring break and then summer. And at the end of summer I will be looking forward to school starting for sure!

  11. The BOK Center is beautiful at night and your pictures showcase it wonderfully!

    I love the quotes from your beans, especially, "I am rubber, you are glue."
    My own confession: My sister and I used to drive my mother crazy with that chant. lol.

  12. Congrats on the Bloggies, I got the same nom... May the biggest secret win! lol

    And as far as the kids, don'tcha almost wish it was the 50's where docs would prescribe Valium for Moms... It's just not right that they did away with that practice... we need them now Way More than they did in the 50's! ;-)

  28. Oh how I was looking forward to a quiet day of celebrating school starting again. Only to discover school was closed because of snow. Sigh.

  29. I always wanted to be a "grown up" where no one would tell me what to do. . . . then you have kids.

  37. I know the feeling. I told my kids that now MY vacation began...

    By the way, I've nominated you for an award. Check out my site for the info!

  38. A day all to yourself? Now that is worth its weight in gold, and will hopefully put the kabosh on any slightly sad feelings you are having about the kids going back to school! :)

    I LOVED your list of things your kids say that you won't be missing. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...there are days when I think that little phrase alone might drive me to the brink of insanity.
