Catching up

So so sooo much to catch up on. Sadly blogging has been put to the bottom of the priority list, sleep going to the top. With that said, I have TONS of catching up to do. We've been doing so many fun things and these boys have been keeping us alive with their energy, growing, learning and changing. But better get a handle on it now...the holiday season is here!! woo hoo

Boys Fishing trip

Saturday morning Jeff took Mateo fishing, just the two of them. Mateo was so excited, he woke up way too early and reminded me that he and daddy were going fishing.
The two of them left before the sun came up. Headed out to the lake and fished for hours. Unfortunately, no fish were biting, but they had a great time. Lucky boy, Mateo even has an Optimus Prime and Spongebob bobber (had a little run in with the OP bobber and a snag, which made Mateo so upset, but thanks to Iphones and internet service, it was replaced in no time with a quick search of ebay). They ended their day with a stop at Bass Pro Shops and brought home Marco his very own first Tackle Box, Cars of course

5 years old = Rites to your very own Library Card

So who knew ~ 5 years old came with a rite of passage and being able to have your very own library card?? Mateo's school is only a few blocks from the library and they get to take walking field trips to the library, so went to get him his very own library card. A very exciting day for a little boy and his mommy!
Oops, pic is backwards but very first time checking out his own books!

Weekend full of crafting

I always have big ideas and big plans...they sit somewhere in the back of my head or on a note on my iphone somewhere. Always wishing I had the time to do them, or just making the time. Well, one of my new loves and addictions ~ pinterest. Have you been there? If not, it's a must. Love hooking new people on to it!! Well it has simplified yet complicated my life. Needless to say, it does give me some motivation to get some cool stuff done. This is only the beginning, got lots of fun stuff to add. The kids are loving it too!
