my funny little boy

Jack is cracking me UP this morning.

Out of the blue he goes "Mommy, I wanna go to the zoo with Mer-Mer and see the doll-uh-fins!" (yep, dolphins is THREE syllables in Jack's world...) :)

Then he saw all my scrapbooking stuff out on the dining room table and yelled to me "Mommy!!! Go to your SCRAPBOOKING!!" (I think he meant Scrap Mania, which I did last weekend...?) Apparently he wants me to leave the house?? ha ha.

Just now he came over to me with a little tiger puzzle piece and was teasing me with it and said (in a taunting voice...) "Mommy...look out!! The tiger's gonna bite your BUTT!"

Kate is currently upstairs b/c she said Jack stunk too bad and she couldn't stand it. (note: changed the diaper...nothing in there!) You should have seen the look on his face when Kate was plugging her nose and yelling that he smelled. It was priceless. It was kind of a "what's wrong with me???"

NOW he is spinning in circles in the dining room and falling over from dizziness. What a funny little boy. :)

Time to get dressed (yep - 10:47 and we're all still in pj's! I love the summer.) We're heading to the grocery store. Wish me luck!

Can't sleep...

I can't sleep, so I figured why not FINALLY update my blog??

We had such a great weekend - - Saturday we met the Petersons at the MN zoo. (Kate and Jack got to feed the giraffe some crackers!!) It was super hot and crowded, but fun. I love the new Africa exhibit!!

Aren't the giraffes cute?? I just love them. Kate was pretty intrigued by the giraffe's long purple tongue. :)

After that we drove around looking for this garage sale that was supposed to have stampin up stuff....but they had already closed it down for the day. :( Brian ran into Fleet Farm and found some things for his little boat. He's so pumped to get it out again over the 4th!! :) I love seeing him so excited.

Then Brian and the kids stayed home and I went to Scrap Mania at Archiver's all by myself. It was awesome. There was hardly anyone there so we all had our own table. I even won the grand prize drawing - woo hoo!! (a 12x12 paper pack, in case anyone is wondering) :)

THEN we made last minute plans with Beth and Cory Citurs and drove up to Plymouth to have a bonfire with them. It was tons of fun - - we even got to play a little Wii! :) We spent the night there and were up until about 2:30 in the morning. Of COURSE Jack decides he should wake up at 7am then. UGH!! Kate and Jack love playing with the dogs and cats and are already asking when they can go back again. (hopefully soon, b/c I forgot Jack's favorite blanket there - - oops! Bad Mommy!)

We went home Sunday morning to shower and then drove up to my Grandparent's in Oakdale. (My parents were there too.) The kids had fun helping Great Grandma water the flowers. Jack even gave Great Grandpa a big kiss when we left! So cute.

I tried making Brian a yummy Father's Day dinner, but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. :( I promised him there would be a re-do sometime this week. :)

I think that's about it! (Oh, and I have a little idea in mind for starting up my own business ....but more on that later!)

Hope everyone is having a great week and staying out of the heat. Ugh, it's hot! :(
