Happy Saturday!

It's really hard to capture a good picture during a live soccer gaime, but Nicholas is the one in the orange shorts getting ready to kick the ball!

Weekends were made for relaxing, right?  Soccer at 9am... trip to the park... a little b-ball with the boys... lunch... CRAP!!!  I still have laundry, dishes, filthy bathrooms that desperately need cleaned, and I could really use a good work out!  Thank God for naptime!  Nicholas DID NOT want to take a nap, but he had an attitude of a hungry lion and mother knows best!  He was asleep before Tyler was!  And now I have a quiet house... and all that work is haunting me... BUT 16 and Pregnant is on, so.... priorities!  I guess the bathrooms can wait!  He he!

Can't Believe I'm Blogging!

After reading my sister's amazing blog about my absolutely perfect nephew, I decided that maybe I should start blogging... I don't know, it looks fun, I guess...
So today I picked the boys up after work, and the usual begging and whining started in... today they wanted to eat supper at El Azteca.  They were begging for this a couple of days ago, and I DID NOT give in!  We had pasta that night... which Nicholas moaned and groaned about that night but begged for left overs the next day... What??? Really Nicholas???  I didn't tell them, but of course I wanted to go to El Azteca tonight!  Who wouldn't???  It's delicious!  So... after letting them think we were having sucky supper night... again!... I let them in on the secret I had relished in keeping to myself for the past hour... We were going to El Azteca!!!  ...And I had a coupon!!!  Thank you silly free newspaper that we get every Wednesday that's really not good for anything except El Azteca coupons!  So we sat down in our booth, and I was thinking to myself, "This will be such a peaceful dinner because they're getting exactly what they asked for... no cheese with our whine tonight, right?"  Wrong... so, so wrong!  Tyler ordered chocolate milk... all on his own... Matt and I questioned him and he was sure that he wanted chocolate milk.  Ok, Tyler!  Nicholas ordered Root Beer.  Chips... salsa... queso dip... all of sudden Tyler looked up at me and said so innocently, "Mommy?  I was just kidding when I ordered chocolate milk.  I want white milk!"  Sorry Tyler!  We asked if that's what you REALLY wanted and you said, "YES!"  Sooooo..... you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!  Right, every mother out there who's child is as undecisive as mine?!?  Anyway, the food came and shortly after we started eating, Tyler decided he was not really hungry.  (Most likely upset about the milk still!)  But he still wanted dessert!!!  Oh, silly Tyler!  You have so much to learn!  After paying for supper and feeling very full from eating nearly everything in site, Nicholas suggested that we take "a short family walk" to get some exercise!  Oh to have the energy of a child!  We got home and promptly proceded to waddle together as a family (or herd of cows) around the block and through the park... and "no, we are not stopping to play at the park!"  The boys got their jammies on, brushed their teeth, and got tucked into bed.  Tyler announced that he is "getting so sick" and Nicholas was pissed that he had to go to bed 10 minutes too early...  And just when you think they're in bed and it's time to relax... Tyler was just crying and coughing in his sleep, saying, "My milk hurts."  Just another day of organized chaos...
