Five on Friday from the Sunshine State!!!

A very quick FoF from Florida....

1. Our travels went perfect! I could not have wished for a better journey with my boys, they make me very proud!!!

2. It is so nice to just hang out with my baby sister and watch tv but I do with the other two Kelly Kids were here too!

3. We are off to Naples for a beach day with Michelle and Luigi Sunday the boys and I are both super excited!!!!!

4. I love that it is 90 degrees out when we take our evening walk!

5. Sadly, the bedroom monsters showed up last night and Elijah and I both had a horrible night sleep. I wonder how they knew were to find us?

Five on Friday

Friday September 11, 2009....where has the the last eight years gone???

1. Just seeing the date today made me think back to 9/11/01, where I was, what I was doing, and how different life is now.

2. We had our computer crash last week so we are still in the processes of restoring so hence why there have been no pictures in a while.

3. We are off to Florida on Wednesday for a visit and I can not wait. Elijah is equally excited and has already packed several bags to bring to Grammie and Papa's house has also informed me that he is going fishing with Papa and is going to catch a fish as big as his Daddy that and he is going to Lego Land with Kiki and Uncle Bobby while we are there too???

4. I had a night off this week and on 9/9/9 Ellen and I headed into to Fenway to celebrate her birthday. We had a fantastic time, there is nothing better than a Fenway frank, a diet coke, and a Red Sox win!!!! I think this is now going to be an annual tradition to celebrate her birthday!

5. I start a new class this weekend which I am very excited about but I am also sad to say that I am going to miss a day out at Canobie Lake Park with my boys for the annual Comcast Company picnic. I hope that they have fun without me and everyone comes home in one piece. I wonder since I am not going do I still need to pack the bag, something for me to think about????

Till next week from sunny HOT beautiful Florida have a great week!!!

MOM LOOK A.....

SNAKE!!!!!!! This is what my darling Elijah was yelling from the play area Monday. He and Samuel were playing wonderfully with their outside train set and I was on the porch talking on the phone as usual to my mother. All of the sudden at the top of his lungs Elijah yelled "MOM LOOK A SNAKE!!!" this is my worst fear in life. I can not stress how afraid I am of snakes, even little garden ones. I instantly yell for Cookie as if someone was stealing the boys to come help he came very quick, thank God! I remained frozen on the porch watching and screaming while my two babies are trapped in the gated area with a snake. My mother on the other end of the phone was yelling at me to stop yelling, calm down, what's happening???? Cookie ran down to rescue the boys from what we thought was a harmless garden snake but really just turned out to be a....worm! Yup you read correctly a worm, it was however almost a foot long and really gross but not a snake. Unfortunately I was paralized in fear and did not have time to get the camera to photograph the embarrassing moment. So, what I did learn is yes in fact I would stand and watch my children get attacked by a snake before I would go and help them. I think this takes me out of the running of mommy of the year!

Saturday Five on Friday

I had great intentions of posting last night but Cookie and I passed out after putting the boys to bed so we neither ate dinner or blogged....so here it is then my FoF but Saturday.

1. Elijah has had a horrible week of sleeping he has gotten up almost every night and not just because of monsters but because he missed me, his back is itchy, he needs to pee, he needs a drink, or he just wanted to know at we are doing. I am loosing my mind and am not a very nice mommy in the middle of the night, sorry Elijah!

2. I booked a trip for the boys and I to visit the family in Florida. September 16th thru the 28th we will be gone. I am very excited to see everyone especially my Grandfather who is not in the best of health and they can not seem to find out why. I am sure Cookie will enjoy the peace and quiet for the 12 days we are away.

3. Elijah had made friends with the kids on the street and is enjoying playing with them in the evenings and riding bikes with the school kids as he tells me. He is very much a leader out there and it makes my heart melt watching him run around and be such a grown up kid. Where had the past 42 months gone?

4. Samuel only has 4 teeth and I am starting to wonder if he is ever going to get anymore teeth. I find it so strange that I was born with a tooth got all my teeth right away it seems but I have children who really do not feel the need to get teeth. No fear this does not keep him from eating everything and anything we put on his tray.

5. I think the time has come to cut Samuel's hair. In the past 36 hours at least 7 people had called him a girl. I personally think he looks all boy to me but I think it is time for me turn his crazy afro into a some what tamed fade!
