In an effort to get the kids out of the house for a little while today D and I took them to the park a couple towns over :) Nothing super exciting happened. I just thought I'd share some pictures with you.

{Back in the Swing}
For the last 2 nights the boys have been up until at least 3am watching movies on their tablets. Last night I told them it was time to turn them off at about 11pm. I had Owen come down stairs because he didn't have sheets on his bed for some reason (the kid is always pulling them off). I set him up on the couch cause he wanted a snack before bed. I told him when he was done with his fruit bar that...

{ #weightwatchers Update}
I know I haven't been updating lately. I'm sorry for that. I sort of fell off the wagon. I haven't been tracking and I haven't been going to the gym. I do still watch what I eat and try to remember that a little goes a long way when it comes to bad food.
When I weighed in right after Six Flags trip I 189.6 I think. So know that I can make it out of the 190s. Unfortunately my body doesn't like that...

If you've been following me on any kind of social media for the last week then you are well aware of my adventures lately. If you haven't been following me then what are you doing with your life?? I kid! I kid! But here is where you can play catch up to the funness I've over the past week.

{Time to Let Go}
I have been going back and forth on weather or not to write this entry. At first I wanted to vent, and I published a post doing just that. But I soon deleted it thinking that maybe venting wasn't the best way to go about this post. So I gave myself a week to cool off and here I am, back at it.
If you have seen my twitter or facebook feeds for the last week or so, you should know that there was quite...

{Road Tripping '14- Six Flags}
D and I had both not been here for years so we were just as excited to go as the kids were.
In route we stopped along the side of the road and picked up a turtle. Because D can not let a turtle just be on the side of the road and get run over.
When we arrived at the park we let the turtle out at...

{Road Trippin '14- Hannibal Mo}
Some of my favorite memories of childhood vacations are those where we stopped at random places along the way and had a mini adventure. So when D suggested taking the scenic route to Six Flags I was on board! We stopped in Hannibal Missouri at the little Mark Twain "town". I say town loosely because...

{Road Trippin '14- Snack Bag Goodies}
Like the cooler, last year I took a small bag of snacks for the kids. I knew they would be getting hungry about half way there and to avoid stopping at McDonalds, I thought snacks would be a good idea.
So this time is no different. Not to mention I know my kids well enough to know that they'll be hungry when we're in the hotel room late at night too.
This time I'm borrowing a bag from Cassie and...

{Road Trippin Series '14 - Kids Bags}
The kids bags are already packed as of today and ready to be in the car (aside from tooth brushes/daily stuff). I've got 1 bag for Dawn and 1 for the boys. I wanted them to each have their own but Gaiges was big enough for both boys.
Dawn is taking
- 1 pair of jeans/ tshirt
- 1 black and purple...

{Road Trippin '14- What's in the Cooler? UPDATED}
Last year when I posted this I was not doing a very good job of planning it out lol. I wanted to have things everyone would eat and for some reason I just didn't pack very healthy things. So this year I'm going to attempt to not pack so much crap. But at the same time bring things that even D will eat...

{Road Trippin '14- Park Bag}
We all know how much I love a big bag. The last 2 I've purchased have been large and I can basically carry anything and everything in them. Being a mom, I kind of have to make sure that when my kids need something, I have it. So I like to carry a nice big bag and not to have to worry about missing...

{Road Trippin '14- Entertainment}
Every parent knows that the most important thing to pack on a road trip with kids is not snacks or clothes but entertainment. If the kids are bored on a long road trip it makes for a shittacular time confined in the car.
Last time we took a trip, Gaige took his tablet and Dawn had her laptop, Owen had his Innotab. All was pretty quiet. This time though all 3 kids have tablets. I'm going to load...
