I Give Up!

I gave up a long time ago on being showered every day, on putting on makeup every day, on not growing up and older, on taking naps, on eating a quiet meal, keeping things organized just so, and on doing most of what I want to do when I want to do it.

Today I am adding to the list! I give up on keeping up to date with my blog, trying to remember all the details of the zillion things I have to get done in the next two weeks, and feeling guilty when my sweet boys do not have my attention 24-7. Ahhhhhh, life is crazy, there's too much good to be worried with all this stuff. Will I still worry about it? Sure, I would't be me if I just didn't care, but at least for tonight I am gonna forget it! Well, okay not the blog part...tonight that's my escape!

We have been incredibly busy the last several months and things are just getting started around here as we prepare for our move to Austin.

Today Colby was totally rude (unintentionally of course), and brutally honest with me. This morning he told me that he didn't like my hair down because I "looked like and ugly man." Nothing like hearing you look like and ugly man to start the day off!! Then this afternoon we were out on an errand and he crawls up under my arm and is looking up and laughing and says out loud in the store, "uh mommy you have a lot of hair under your elbows." What he meant was arm pits. He calls most body parts elbows. He used to call boobs elbows :) Now shoulders are elbows. Not sure why because if you point to the body part he gets it correct everytime, but any way that's beside the point!(I know, spare you the details), but mind you this is out loud in the store with people around. All I could do was laugh and explain to him that mommy doesn't have time to shave every day. There ya go! I'm gross and I give up!

What I don't give up on, are these two incredibly adorable and precious gifts I have been entrusted to raise! In fact, I would gladly give up all the things I mentioned and enjoy a laugh with them, even if the target is me just so I can see their smiling faces one more day!

I walked into the kitchen one morning to find Brody like this. He wanted to be pulled around in this block tub. He has done this before with the laundry basket, but I thought it was hilarious that he crammed himself into this tub!

Guess who loves daddy's size 14 shoes? He puts them on and then walks around squealing and say "shoe, big"

My crazy smart Colby just graduated from preschool last Monday. I can't believe he is headed to kindergarten next year! He is knows all his numbers (counts to 100), reads, and adds and subtracts! We are so proud of him!

Lately his favorite thing is Star Wars! He doesn't go a day without playing with action figures, begging to watch the movies, or playing lego star wars on his DS. Colby also turned 5 years old. Oh, how time flys! Hopefully, I can post more soon. I would really like to post Colby's birthday pictures and some other fun stuff, but I'm not guaranteeing anything and I'm not feeling guilty about it! :)
