Slightly worried....

Since we order so many things online to our little rock in the big Pacific, we get lots of catalogs. I gave one to Buddy the other day to start looking for things he might want for Christmas ....because Santa can take up to 2 months to get here via the delivery routes! Anyway, Buddy handed me his completed catalog this morning.....

If you can't read what it is, let me help you out....IT'S A LIE DETECTOR KIT!!!!! Well, considering that we live in a house with 2 adults and a Buddy, I was just wondering who he thought he was going to catch lying. Turns out, he just wants to start practicing on being able to to cheat a lie detector test!!!!  Errrrrmmmm, pardon me, I have some mothering to do! So all in all a super fantastic, this kid needs a mom badly, day!

Obsessed?

Buddy has become a little obsessed these days....Since his BFF spent the night last night, they decided the first thing to do this morning should be to go out shooting. Well, that sounds awesome...until you take into account that we have to wear long clothing and boots to go rambling through the hillside brush,and a minor little detail of the fact that we live in a very hot area of Hawaii where it hits around a million degrees ten minutes after the sun comes up (I'm exaggerating by a half million degrees). Anyway, I complied with their sweet request. Three minutes into our shooting festivities and we were all done!!! So we had to move onto our next obsession...the Hilton Pool where we have a membership, compliments of a very awesome birthday present from Shane. To say these boys are excited is a bit of an understatement! I mean where else do you get free head rubs?

Free palm sized boogers...

And can paddle boat to your heart's (or legs, I haven't decided) content...

It was so awesome, I even joined in on the fun....

I think my pick was better than the boogers! So all in all a super fantastic, Buddy is already asking to go tomorrow, day!

Parenting win....

Since tomorrow is Veteran's Day and Buddy has the day off of school, Buddy got to have his BFF (Tyler) come over right after school. I took the boys to the pool where they played with guns (water, of course) for 5 hours and only after they became pruney frozen old men, did I bring them home for a  sleepover. Just when I worry about their dysfunctional violent upbringing, I catch them watching this...

Sorry, I was trying to be stealth because they're embarrassed to have been caught-but that's 3 episodes of Care Bears that they have watched since being handed the remote to the TV.  All is right in the world again! So all in all a super fantastic, getting a healthy balance, day!

Growing up...

Buddy got a text today from his BFF to come join him on a play date...

A play date shooting with their matching guns!!!! What happened to the good ole' days when they were content just digging huge pits under my house...

So all in all a super fantastic, growing up, but still cute as can be, day!

Quality time...

Yesterday I deleted the Facebook app off of my Iphone....again. This time it's for keeps (I really hope) because I have better things to do than to get sucked into that time waste. Like playing hide and seek with my favorite boy....

And cuddling  on cliffs...

Because we're cool like that...and he's totally worth it! So all in all a super fantastic, best thing ever, day!

Time...

Buddy had to stay home from school this whole week to prevent a Elementary wide outbreak of oral herpes...

That's right...I hope the whole school knows the sacrifice he placed in order to keep them safe from the dreaded "cold sores".  Thankfully, we used our time wisely and watched TV (at least in Buddy's estimation that was a wise choice), we also talked about his future where he assured me that he would live in my basement FOREVER!!!!!! Not sure what emotion I'm suppose to have with that one, fear or joy....right now I'm going with pure joy. In other news, since Buddy is entering puberty these days, we've also started using our time wisely by instituting a morning sniff test...

Somehow, I think our time would be more wisely spent just making him take a shower first thing in the morning...then in the afternoon, then  after dinner....then again at bedtime....but that's just me! In other more fantastic news, today was my birthday. Somehow Buddy got it in his head that I'm really wrinkly and my age should be 3 years older than what it is based on his self made wrinkle test. At least Shane made up for it by taking us to the pool for the day. Water makes everything better....including my wrinkles...at least until I get out of the water again!

Darn pruny skin! So all in all a super fantastic, at least I don't have a big head about my looks, day!

Hungry....

This is what happens when you're baby hungry and your only baby is sick.....

Oh yeah, I've still got it. So  all in all a super fantastic,  big baby, day!!!
