Two Balls

For dinner tonight, we had chicken, corn, and Kings Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. I told the boys that they could have two bread rolls each. I didn't know it would lead to this...

"I have two balls!" the middle boy exclaimed.

WHAT???

After I almost choked on my food, we all looked at him and he had smushed his two bread rolls into two small balls.

So you don't lose the correct image in your
head for King's Hawaiian Bread Rolls.

It's Been a While!

Hey y'all!

I can't believe it's been over a week since my last blog. But, we haven't had the boys during that time. We had some scheduling issues and had to trade Monday for Thursday. So this week we have them Wednesday through Sunday.

Last night was the first of our evenings/weekend with the boys ... and I did what every stepmother should do... GO GET HER HAIR DONE.   :-)

"Honey, homework is on the table. I'm going to get my hair done. See you in a bit. Love you, bye."

And I was out the door!  :-)

Ok... Maybe that's not what I'm supposed to do. But, I felt like it was a nice way for Phil to hang with the boys alone. Plus, my hair really did need some serious highlights!

Should be a fun weekend... At least we will have great weather!

Doesn't this weekend look glorious???

More soon! Thanks for reading!

Smurfs Championship Games

I got to read my first book before bedtime tonight!

That was super fun!

The book of choice was The Smurfs Championship Games.

Weakling Smurf won the games!

It was actually an appropriate book for my first book to read at bedtime.

Apparently, "Hefty working out every morning before the sun came up" reminded the boys of their Dad.

And Weakling Smurf winning the marathon reminded them of me. "You do marathons!" ... Yes. But. I don't win them.   :-)   lol... 

Very fun book to read to the boys about exercising and winning without cheating. 

Hot Dog Buns

This evening Phil grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner. Lots of them, of course.  :-)

So when we came into the house to eat, we all told Phil what we wanted and he dished everything out.

Hot dog, hot dog... hamburger and a hot dog... double burger... etc... etc...

One of the twins finished his hot dog and asked for another.

Well, I looked at his plate and joked with Phil saying, "Why don't you just get him a hot dog to go with the bun left on his plate?"

This is what he had on his plate.

And it was funny and we all laughed.

Well then. 

I finished my hot dogs... 

And then, I looked at my plate...

And wouldn't you know...

My plate. OMG.EXACTLY.THE.SAME.

And I started laughing so hard!  :-)   Wow... Need I say more?

Minecraft Castle

How are you spending your Wednesday evening?   I am watching four boys play Minecraft. They're all building me something:

Top Left:   My castle, minus the castle so far. A little Village, I guess.  :-)

Bottom Left:    I'm not very sure, but it looks like a trail of blood...?

Bottom Right:   Getting me purple armor. 

Top Right:   Nukes.    Umm...    Thank you...  ?   :-)  lol... 

CLEAN! YAY!

I'll admit it... There are times when I like to clean and there's times that I could be a complete bum.

This weekend was a time that I like to clean... So here is the boys' room BEFORE:

The middle brothers room

And here is their room AFTER:

Hey! I found the floor... 

And do you guys remember the toothbrushes from before??? Here's the new setup (I can't believe it took me almost a MONTH to get them new toothbrushes):

Yep, even mine is in there. Pink one, far left.  :-) 

I can do this stepmom stuff... Maybe I should spread it out though instead of all in one weekend.  :-) 

Pick Your Battles

Last weekend while we had the boys, I had to "pick a battle" ... well, the battle was actually between two boys... So it wasn't even my battle to begin with.

You know, there's times when you could just see a fight coming on. With five boys always together, getting annoyed with each other, ... you can just feel it coming on.

"Jennifer, remember the black and red bouncy ball from the bowling alley arcade? It's mine and it's in your purse." said one of the middle boys.

"NO IT'S NOT! It's mine!" Shouted one of the twins.

So, what did I do?

I looked in my purse and I found 5 bouncy balls.

I pulled out 4.   :-)  hehee...

Then said, "Sorry guys, you must have left the black and red one at the bowling alley on the table."

Saw it in my purse today and threw it away.  :-)  
There's no need to fight over this!
