Latest Obsession...

is watching Michael Jackson videos on YouTube! What can I say, he was the greatest entertainer of all time!

Now, can we have our iphones back? Please and thank you!

Out of the Mouths of The Peas

I need to keep a notebook of all the hilarious things the boys have been saying lately. I'll put a few here for safe keeping:

Ryan: 
Thank you, Princess! (when I handed he something that I can't think of right now)
I'm Ryan to the rescue! (donning his Batman pjs!)


Evan:
Mommy, do you have any money? (he whispers this to me when we were out to dinner with a large group!)
No, Mommy. It's not good for me. (as I try to feed him broccoli!)

I'm certain there will be others! I always hear things and say that I need to write them down and then of course I forget. These are few of the latest laugh out loud, make your heart melt, and or side-eye worthy humdingers R & E have come up with!

Where Shall I begin...

It's been a long time since I actually sat at the computer and wrote a blog post. Life seems to have gotten in the way of my little ol' bloggity blog, but if you've been checking back over the last few weeks thank you so much. Please know that all is well with the Parker four. Ryan and Evan are growing like weeds and growing UP even more! Oh my, three is a tough age! Ryan and Evan definitely have their own opinions and they are more than happy to let us know what it is they want, don't want, will do, and won't do! Case in point? Before I snapped this picture this morning I had a two minute argument with Evan about the shoes that he would wear to church. He insisted that he would not wear these shoes, that he would wear his "brown" shoes. But, Evan these shoes are brown,  I tried to explain. He was having none of it! Well, of course I got my way, but the drama! And Ryan?  Ha! He'll inform us in a minute that, and I quote, "I'm mad! I'm going to my room!" Oh boy! It gets real around these parts folks! BUT, I must say that they are still super sweet and funny. Sometimes I just listen in on their conversations and crack up laughing. And the questions they ask us? Let's just say I won't be posting those on the web, but let me tell you! You can't pull anything over on these two. They are smart as a whip. They know their full names, how to spell their own names and each others, they know our full names ( I'm Mommy Mistee Joy Parker), how to count to 100, they know their birthday, their address, and we're working on their phone number. They can identify all the letters in the alphabet and we're working on a few sight words. We're working hard (along with their teacher) with these two. 

They are excited about Christmas this year! Though they are not exactly sure what this means, they kinda get it. We asked them what they want and Ryan is pretty easy to please. He wants a birthday hat, of all things. Evan wants an Ipad with a blue cover O_o  . Guess which one of these he won't be getting! We drive all over our neighborhood each evening to look at Christmas decorations. Ryan, especially, gets really excited. I love to hear him say, "It's Christmas time, Mommy." It's our favorite time of the year!

Flashback

I was going through my drawer and found these pants this morning. It's funny how memories come rushing back at you when you least expect it. Evan wore a pair of blue pants just like the ones he's holding home from the hospital. If you don't believe in God, ask me about my miracles.

Early Bird

Thanks to Evan I've been up since 5am.
Me: Evan why are we up so early?
Evan: I don't know!

Gotta love a kid this cute!

Checking In

It's been a long minute since I've been on my own blog! I'm giving myself the side eye on this one, folks. I mean, it's down right shameful! On a brighter note, check out Swipers 1 and 2 stealing trumpets from my Christmas decor stash! Yes, my tree is currently ornament-less! I can't with the Christmas tree tonight. At least it's up...right? Ha! I'm twopeasmama y'all and I need to get it together! Be back soon:)

Introducing.....

Spider-Man and Ryan the Robot! Hurricane Sandy put a damper on our Octoberfest plans, but that didn't stop us from having fun. We dressed the boys in their costumes and headed to the mall. Since most people were still without power (we just got ours back yesterday!) it was really crowded. We made the best out of it though and had a good time. I tried getting better pictures of these two, but they were having none of it! Octoberfest will be rescheduled (but then it isn't Octoberfest any more is it?) and we are all looking forward to it!
