Mommy went camping. . .

 Because The Hubs and Dizzy enjoy camping, I decided to brave it out in the wilderness with all my boys, including the 1yr old Little Gee.
 He was lots of fun on the ride up!  Little Gee really should have been napping, but fought it really hard the entire hour and a half we were in the car!





 Dizzy on the other hand. . . not so much.  He didn't get as many pictures taken because he's pretty darn boring in the car!

Dizzy did liven things up!  He could not wait to pee in the grass. . . you don't even want to know what else he wanted to do in the grass!
 It was a family camp out.  There are many families from our church here.


 Dizzy:)  His true self.  Serious and always picking at something!

 The Hubs (aka the love of my life!)

 My hero putting Little Gee to sleep so I could eat breakfast.  Little did I know he would decide to cut a tooth that night!
 The Chefs.
 More chefs.  Pancakes, eggs and sausage always taste better when you're camping!



 Sleep at last!
 Keep your eyes peeled. . . he's going to disappear.



 Ok, where's the post office when you need it?  Send me your address and I"ll mail him to you:)


 See the blue toenail?  That's the only part of me that got pictured.  That's the best part of being the only one with a camera!


Little Gee spent most the time in a cover-less diaper.  He got eaten alive even though I smothered him with bug spray!

Tuesdays are for Flying, but Today is Wednesday

So, I'll do a little of both!  A flying Tuesday followed by a woolie Wednesday!

Edited to add:  I was so going to show off some pictures, with this post, but it's 5:45 pm already, and unless I want to put this up tomorrow, I should just post it!  Ha.  So here it is, sans pictures. 

Flying Tuesday

Well, the hubs and I had a nice little conversation.  He's very honest, almost brutally so at times.  I ask him how I look, and he knows, I really do want to know if I look fat. So he tells me.  Yup.  The Hubs tells me I look fat in certain outfits.  (I don't want to go out looking fat so everyone but me knows it do I?  NO!!!!!)  Well, after discovering I didn't have a single dress that I looked at least healthy or 'not fat' in, and my bff is working on getting me into her fitness club so we can be partners, I brought it up to The Hubs.  I believe I can talk my way down to a $30 a month membership including child care.  I flippin' hope so!  The Hubs agreed because of a few things.  I guess finances are doing a bit better, my health isn't all that great these days, mostly due to stress and being overweight.  We have a nice history of diabetes and heart disease on both sides of my family, so getting fit is going to be pretty important.  So we made a compromise.  Here's where the Flying comes in.  I have to keep up with the house a little more. I thought his point to argue was going to be about money, but nope.  It's about housework.  It's been bad the last few weeks/months.  Pretty darn flippin' bad if you ask me!  So he agreed to help out a bit more (which he has, a little) in specific areas with out being asked.  He's usually willing when he is asked, but I feel like an ogre when I ask him to clean up.  In general though, this slob of a sheep has compromised by agreeing to pick up after herself more often, keep her side of the bed clean and the floors tidy etc.  If it weren't for the $150 I have to spend on getting my serger back (argh!!!!) in working order (and later I'm going to need to get the sewing machine serviced as well, though I don't think anything will need replaced) I would start that membership this week.  As it is, I imagine I wont be starting until next month.  I am 'testing' them out this week though.  My BFF wanted to try out a Kickboxing class.  Yeah, that will be hilarious!  I think she's asking me because we all know I'm much clumsier and so much more out of shape than she is!!  This way, she knows everyone will be looking at her, rather than me.  I"ve just decided I don't care if people gawk.  It just makes them look bad!  Pictures coming soon!

Woolie Wednesday.

I actually have no idea what I plan on blogging about this woolie woolie Wednesday.  So here it is, off the top of my head.  Yes, It's hot outside.  Yeah, it's humid too.  Who cares?  If your kiddo is wearing a wool soaker. . . there little butt can breathe better than anyone in a PUL cover, and I'd even go so far as to argue that it's more breathable than a disposable. . . which as we all know is made of paper, plastic and chemicals that soak in moisture.   Go ahead and put that woolie on your babe!!  In fact, pair it with an ultra light, thin, but absorbent flat for the most breathable combo on the market.  Might I add that my woolies start at just $10, and flats are pretty darn cheap as well?  Who knew that the most breathable solution would also be the cheapest!!!  On the hottest of days, I put my crawling Little Gee in training undies, w/out a PUL lining or cover of any kind.  This keeps him extra dry and cool.  But, when out and about, it's flats and woolies all the way!!
