pictures from our days

hello, hello!  good day to you!

did everyone have a nice mother's day?

my boys were kind enough to sleep in and therefore I was able to sleep in.  yay!

in fact, i had to wake jagger up at 11:45am, 'cause i was afraid he'd sleep the day away.

when i went in to wake him, this is what i saw.  
there is a little boy underneath that blanket.  he was funny when i tried to wake him up.  i pulled the blanket off his face and he wrinkled his little forehead, with eyes still closed, and pulled the cover back over his head.  i had to pick him up and bring him downstairs to get him up.  :)

today has been a fairly relaxing day. i decided to try my hand at making a quiche.
 i wouldn't say it was a success.  the recipe definitely needs adjusted.  but the boys gobbled it up, so i guess it wasn't a complete failure.

jagger has been in a monster phase for a while.  he's sees them everywhere, blames them for doing bad things (like pushing his brothers around), and has become quite a fan of the movie, monsters, inc.  here he is, watching it and thoroughly engrossed.

here is the box of clothes that i was determined to unpack today.i still haven't been able to get the clothes boxes unpacked, and i end up rooting around in them until i find what i need.  unfortunately, it is 10:00pm and i still haven't gotten to that box yet.  maybe after i'm done blogging...

i was on a reading frenzy at the beginning of the year.  by march i had read 22 books since the first of january.  i put reading on hold once we knew we were going to be moving and would not allow myself to get sucked into any stories while packing, moving, and then unpacking needed to be done.  but i decided to reward myself for making it to this point of the process and i started this book the other night and finished it today.it was pretty good. started out strong, got a little sloppy in the middle, pulled it back together towards the end, and left the story wide open for a sequel.

the boys seem to be settling into a good routine these days.  they get up around 9:00-9:30ish and they all play hard for about three hours before they are plum tuckered out.  here's cash and slade taking their naps.after they get up, they go right back to playing.  cash and slade are quite enamored with the camera and give me some pretty good faces when they see i have it out.  except they tend to come running at me full speed because they want to touch all the buttons.  cash was asking me the same question over and over, but i couldn't figure what he was saying.slade gave me a nice grubby faced smile.and jagger is still not a fan of posing for the camera so he decided to try to throw water at me to deter me from snapping off a pic.

later this afternoon i filled out a ton of paperwork for the church that was supposed to be turned in last week.actually, we had it partially filled out and i took it to the church to give to corey.  but of course i forgot to give it to him while i was in the building and remembered as we were strapping the kids back in their car seats.  so i set it on top of the car, told corey not forget to take it back inside, promptly forgot, and drove away with the paperwork still on top of the car.  i probably never would have noticed except a cab was honking all crazy at me and i couldn't figure out why.  was i going the wrong way down a one way street?  then it hit me...crap, the papers!  so i drove around the block, called corey, pulled back into the parking lot, and we scrambled around the street and dodged traffic trying to gather up all the papers that were blowing away with corey's info on them.  classic us, wouldn't you say?  the paperwork i filled out today was to replace the copies that had been run over and had big tire treads all over them.  like i've said before, there's never a dull moment with the blairs :)

and this final pic is just all the kids trying to cram into the laundry basket together (with clean clothes underneath!) this evening.it worked for a moment before they decided they did not like being so close to each other and things went downhill.  i just picked them up, plopped them in the tub, and all was well.

that's all for today.  more adventures will be had tomorrow :)
