February Family Fun!

Once again this month has been action packed! Let's jump right in. Marcus has been reunited with his brother, Donnie after 14 years. We had a big homecoming celebration for him at our home on Valentine's weekend. Below is a picture of all of us together for the first time. It really was a great day.Here are the three stooges - Donnie, Jason and Marcus.
We also were able to welcome a new baby into the world! Emma Rose was born on February 19th. She is gorgeous (just like her mom and grandma). She's a sweet little package.
Yes, my baby fever is going crazy. Especially when I see all the cute little pink things.
Logan just adores babies. Here he is all snuggled up to Emma the night we went to visit her. He could kiss and hold her all night.
And then there's Aiden. He's not thrilled with babies. He wasn't all that thrilled when Gavin came along. He loves him now, just not interested when they're little. He humored me for a picture though.

Well, that's it for now. I have a fun post for tomorrow though! Stop back by!!!

Lessons From Home

I worked from home today. The boys didn't go to school/daycare due to weather and I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I opted to try this out. I wasn't sure how it would go since the boys are pretty active, but I was surprised. Here's what I learned today while working from home:
1) I love wireless internet.
2) I love my bed.
3) I love wireless internet while sitting on my bed.
4) My kids like oatmeal (I already knew this) but are devastated when you drop it on the kitchen floor.
5) I am devastated when I drop oatmeal on the kitchen floor.
6) I hate mopping. I'm no good at mopping (see #5).
7) I can have a day where I don't have to get on the kids for fighting until after 11 am!
8) The Young and The Restless picked up right where I quit watching 8 months ago.
9) Lunch with the boys seems to be a larger mess than a 4 course dinner.
10) The boys could (and did) watch the Sandlot 2 over and over.
11) When the boys are quiet and I am being productive in the bedroom, I should stop and go see what's happening (see pictures below).
12) I can get all the laundry caught up in one day.
13) I am praying Marcus doesn't read #11.
14) I have truly great boys that for the most part were great while I worked and rested today. I am blessed.Some type of war (The Hoffman War) happened upon our couch. The cat may be under there for all I know!
Silly putty sticks to a computer screen. Just ask Aiden. Not sure what he was making exactly. Eeek.

I am feeling better this evening. I hope to return to work/school tomorrow. But I must admit, I enjoyed our day and lessons.
