Tonight, Russell and Brendan left for soccer tots. Aubrey is fascinated with her umbrella. She wants to play with it all of the time. I have told her we don't open umbrellas in the house. We only use them in the rain. So, I was at the kitchen table and I heard her say, "Look, Mommy! It's raining in the kitchen!" Only it wasn't raining from the sky! It was raining from her UNDERPANTS!!! She had her umbrella open peeing all over the kitchen floor! Man, Aubrey, if you wanted Mommy to mop the floor you just had to say so! You didn't have to PEE on it!!
What a great weekend we had. As many of you may know, I have turned into a complete "Twilight" addict. SO...needless to say, I was elated when a friend of mine called and said that she had a "copy" of the movie. Russell isn't allowed, yes I said ALLOWED, to watch horror movies in our house. Fear is my least favorite emotion and even the music on those things scare me, so NOT IN OUR HOUSE. He rented a horror flick Friday and went to watch with at our friends' house. In return, they sent down their "copy" of "Twilight." I LOVED IT! Of course the book was much better, but I was more than eager to watch it a second time when Russell got home. Normally, I hate it when he isn't home, but I enjoyed the movie alone. The kids were watching a movie in my room. They did cause several interruptions...thank goodness for the pause button! I didn't miss anything! :)
Saturday, Brendan had a birthday party to attend at Rockdale Gymnastics. It was a good time. He really enjoyed himself. He kept telling everyone there, "My Thomas birthday is coming up at the jumpy place!" (We went to the Jump!Zone 2 times over winter break and he loved it!) Bless his heart, his birthday isn't until May, but I guess we will have it at the "jumpy place" and it will probably be a Thomas the Tank Engine theme. Back to the gymnastics place. Brendan is always a little timid and not always an active participant in group settings, so I was surprised to say the least when he decided he wanted to do the zip line. So, I sat on the bleachers next to Staci and talked and laughed as they hoisted Brendan up. I was so excited for him! Finally, he was going to be so brave!! My little man is growing up! And then this happened...
Brendan had a grip on that poor boy's hair like his life depended on it! Emily took this picture and was looking at me, still on the bleachers, saying, "Melinda, he's crying!" I'm sure she thought I was mother of the year:) I thought he'd get over it, but no. Then the HUGE snot bubble came out of his nose which about made me pee my pants because the boy holding him heard a few of us yell "SNOT" and he freaked out. I wish we had a picture of that! Needless to say, no zip line for my boy. At least he tried!
Saturday night was ladies night. Penny, Emily, Jennifer, Rebekah, Staci and I all went to Amici's on the square and on to Scoops for dessert. We had SO MUCH FUN! Lots of laughs! We didn't get home until midnight. I was so happy to see Russell waiting up on me...well he was on YouTube watching guitar videos. He loves playing the guitar. I wish he could do it more often.
Sunday was such a wasted day. I finished reading "Midnight Sun" on the internet and now I'm bummed. What now? Please, Please, Stephenie Meyers, finish the book!! A group of us "Twilight" lovers are going to a midnight DVD release party Friday night. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! I am counting down the days!!!
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! Bring on the green!!!!!!!!
Until next post...
