Just chasing kids...

I haven't posted recently. Whew! Things are busy, as usual. Isn't that the same song and dance for every Mommy?! FOR sure!! I did get out of town (SOLO) for one of my best friend's bachelorette parties in Austin. It was super fun. I came back to two sick kids which was not... but it happens! Les' first ear infection (double ear infection at that). Poor guy. We are still on antibiotics (C too for a sinus infection). Just a few days left. They started feeling better and bouncing off the walls within a day of getting their first dose. Thank goodness!!

Ceci has been THE funniest diva these days. One afternoon I was cleaning the kitchen and had the kids quarantined in their playroom - Les on the floor army crawling around. I glance over to see C swinging the skinny end of her plastic golf club at Les' head. Before she made contact (thank goodness), I yell to her. She stops, looks at me, then starts to bang the club against her chair and staring at Les... as if to say "Mom caught me this time but next time you won't be so lucky." That is seriously the vibe I got!! Heck, I even got scared... poor Les!

Then... she was eating lunch one day, and I gave her a few M&Ms for dessert. I looked over to her shaking her finger at her princess doll saying "Princess, don't eat my food!! No, princess!! These m, m, m'sss are yucky, princess. (As C gobbled them up.)" Hilarious. She is too much!

And a sweet story... at the end of last week she came home from "school" (mother's day out) and said "we read bible stories. I love Jesus." Ummm, how precious!!! That same day there was a tornado warning, and I got to carry Les (in his heavy car seat) and Ceci out to the car in the POURING rain. All the while, I was freaking out about the sirens going off. A month prior our university and city were devastated by a string of tornadoes. Thus, as I normally wouldn't be terrified, I actually was. We made it home fine, but we all got soaked. The cover on Les' car seat didn't stay over his head at one point, and I look down to him sticking his tongue out to catch the rain. This boy did not care in the least bit we were in the middle of a storm. Ceci on the other hand was crying and scared. Oh, my kiddos are different!:)

Les is demolition man. He weighs over 20 lbs now and gets into everything. His fave "toy" is the remote. Of course I try to not put it in his reach, but he always seems to spot it! I realized he could get into everything when one day he knocked over Ceci's huge bucket of crayons (which I thought were fine since they were in a covered tub!!)... Nope. He climbs up and pulls them over. Nummy licious as Ceci would say. That boy will eat ANYTHING.

A few pics...

Down at the beach in our neighborhood with BFF, Ella Hartel!!

They met us and brought a sno-cone. Yum!!

In the water at the beach!!

BFFs are both potty training!! How funny is this?!

And C is reading an American Academy of Pediatrics mag!! Like mother, like daughter.;)

And there he is with his crayons! Busted!! His two bottom teeth (only teeth) were blue!!

My sorority sister from college came through town, Katy, and my Hburg friend Julia all had lunch this weekend. Les came along. He loves the ladies.

I miss Katy!! So glad I got to see them. Even though Julia lives here, I rarely get to see her either!:(

 Yesterday we hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends Lyndsey Best. It was wonderful!! I drove to Biloxi and straight back. Long day but so worth it to see everyone and celebrate Baby Drace!!

I can't wait to meet him.
