Tuesday 12

1. I really, really want to beat my cats. All summer long, almost everyday they bring me a dead mouse or a half alive baby bird. I am embarrassed to say that I have 2 birds in my garage right now in boxes. I am feeding them with the syringe and very watered down wet cat food. 1 of them I am certain will make it, the other is definitely a goner. My cats are on the prowl around the garage. Its really starting to get old. This is the 3rd bird we have housed bc of those cats. Not to count the many live lost. The hubby was in the backyard and birds were like dive bombing him and he didn't get why! Well now you know!

2. Last night I made the best stir fry EVER! I would eat it like everyday. Well once a week. It was nice and healthy and fresh. Then I topped it off with a big whopping piece of my cheesecake I made. 

3. I have been a gym slacker. If I am not on a schedule then I just don't go. I am going today. Really I am!

4. Hunter runs everywhere. I don't think he ever walks. And he is throwing everything. He only likes to be outside. And he thinks Elmo is super funny. He is a total mess and just so fun. And this sounds nasty but seriously his room smells like crap all the time. There's no diaper geenie in there bc I hate those things. I don't want to store poop in a trash can. But it stinks. Always. Even with an air freshner. He is a silly, sweet stinky boy.

5. Caroline starts kindergarten in 3 weeks. I am so sad. She is all grown now! She thinks she is to old! She knows EVERYTHING! She can do it by herself. She is so girly. I got her like $80 in jewelry from Claire's but we had to take t back bc she has sensitive ears so its on a gift card. She is like we need to go bc I really like to wear matching jewelry with my outfits! lol So if you know me then that is funny! Bc I don't really wear jewelry and I am definitely not that girly!! She's a trip. 

6. We are going on a mini vacation next week. Just us. No kids. Scary. Whatever will we do with each other! ;)

7. We are going to get a trampoline and a pool today. One of the redneck pools. lol Caroline loves water and swimming. SO she will be in heaven!

8. Americare is coming here toady to spray bc we found black widows by our pond. The thought of them makes me gag. I hate spiders. I hate critters. I will gladly pay $240 a year to not have to deal with that. Then my sweet hubby tells me how in your life you swallow 8 spiders a year. Thanks hun! I don't want to think about sleeping and my mouth open and a spider walking across my face and into my mouth. That is just sick. 

9. I shouldn't even tell anyone this but yesterday I laid in my backyard in my undies and thats it. I am such a rebel. hehe I was actually scared! but I have a weird farmers tan!

10. So did you know you can have sex to determine the sex of your baby? lol Its called Shettles method. So the hubby has to drink coffee, I must have the big O, it has to be right at ovulation and during. There are boards and websites dedicated to this stuff! I would like to have another boy but will be happy with whatever God gives me. I just want a healthy baby.

11. I bought more flowers yesterday. I have an addiction. I must stop. Its really dorky.

12. I am off to water and feed my stupid baby birds!!!

Pics

Last night we had so much fun at Julie's wedding. i did the pics so I got SUPER sweaty! I have like 2000 pictures to edit. But we had an awesome time. It was nice to be around family and friends we feel like are family. We went out for a little bit after the wedding but the hubby had to get up early bc he went golfing. Better him than me! I slept in sort of late for me! 

So we have decided to make a new addition to our family. So hopefully soon there will be another little Thompson on the way! Caroline wants a baby that doesn't pinch. lol She is out of her camps for the summer so we are just hanging out and relaxing. I would like to plan some little day trips for us all. I can't believe she will be in kindergarten in like 3 weeks. Hunter is going to miss her so bad! He always says I want my sissy. 

Well I am off to go chill with the hubby! Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Today is my good friend Julie's wedding. I am so excited for her. I love her whole family. They are like family to us. I am making a raspberry cheesecake for my hubby. I got it out of barefoot Contessa who is my ALL time favorite cook! I will post some pics this weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Tuesday 12

1. Cleaning ladies aren't worth it. I hired my first cleaning lady to help me out so I can work outside more and have more time with the kids. Well all she did was move dust around and vacuum. So I spent 2 hours cleaning after she left. I left a list of things to be cleaned but she said they were already clean. So no maid for me. 

2. We JUST got in the house from working in the dark with a spotlight on our pond. I really thought at one point I might reach up and choke the hubby but we are finally almost finished. No more projects like that for awhile. I need a break!

3. Hunter has massive chompers coming in the back. He is wild. Truly wild. I walked around the side of my van and he was holding the cat upside down. I don't know what I am going to do with him. lol

4. Caroline is almost done with her kinder camp. She loves her teacher. This has been the best experience. I am so proud of how well she has done. She is my big girl. She walked out the door the other day with her backpack on and her hair in these barrettes and I really almost cried. Is going by to fast.

5. Today we had a massive storm and I totally freaked. I am probably not the best person to call in the middle of a crisis. We drove to mother in laws and my mom was following me probably laughing bc I was driving like a crazy woman yelling at the old man in front of me to speed the hell up! lol We have just had so much bad weather here and my neighborhood lost so many homes to the good Friday tornado I am just scared!

6. My mother in law for as much as she can get on my nerves we have a lot in common. I hope I am not that annoying. I also hope she doesn't read my blog! lol I love her though. She has taught me a lot about landscaping.

7. My mom is also annoying and I know she reads my blog! just kidding mom!! You rock. I have to give my mom big props bc she had surgery 4 weeks ago and has been a trouper. She has been so much fun and so silly! The hubby gets mad we talk all the time but she so down to earth and smart! 

8. I need a new washer. Mine is 2 years old and is a lemon. And for what I paid for it, it really pisses me off!

9. I am really looking forward to the 4th. My whole family and friends are getting together for food and fireworks. Its always so much fun.

10. I am also praying for my brother and asking people to pray for him. He really needs it. 

11. I am so sore I can barely sit here. My husband just asked me for a massage but I think I deserve it more.

12. I am going to bed!!!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Excuse the bad quality. My 5D is being worked on. 

Tuesday 12 late!

1.  The kids are nicely playing together and no one is yelling or screaming or pinching. I mean its really quiet so they must being something they aren't supposed too. lol

2. I am really really really ready to finish the project in the backyard. Its taking longer than expected and its a lot harder than I thought it would be. We are so closed to being finished just piecing the rocks together to make them fit perfectly is HARD! 

3. Here comes the noise and the MOMMMMMYYYYYY HUNTER PINCHED ME!!!!! I think its time for nap time!

4. I have a 5 year old going on 16 in my house. She is sassy and she knows EVERYTHING! I think she thinks that she is in charge. And if she gets any prissier I might go nuts! She changes clothes at least 4 times a day and has to have matching jewelry for everything. She wants to wear her play makeup. And it looks so bad. lol But I am glad that she is so confident that she doesn't seem to notice. she is loving her kindergarten camp. She is doing really well at the top of her class. She is making lots of friends. I was really depressed about her going to kindergarten which I still am but she's doing so well. I am very proud of her. 

5. Hunter is all about some daddy. Its very sweet. He is my little nature boy. He has his own mower and wheelbarrow and gardening tools. Whenever the hubby is home he wants to be outside with his daddy. I love it. He is talking like crazy and he is SOOO active. He is all over the place. I can barely keep up. And boy does he pinch. I can't get him to stop! 

6. I am on starting to go baby crazy. I started to have dreams of babies. I think I am ready or close to ready for another one. 

7. I am looking forward to golfing with the hubby on Friday and then date night Friday night! woo hoo! Maybe #6 might not be a want after that! ;)

8. I am embarrassed to admit I just bought my 4th book in the House of Night series. I can't stop reading them. I read all the Twilight and all the Sookiehouse series. 

9. I am listening to the Rescues and they are just awesome!

10. My husband just sent me a text saying he bought me some anti insect granules for my hydrangeas. he is such a romantic lol.  In the back yard I have huge beds and in one of my beds I have a 3 HUGE Leland's and 2 river birch. And like 10 hydrangeas. I have 2 in pots lol. They are my favorite. I am becoming a landscaping JUNKIE! I sit and read on it at night and look at flowers at night.

11. We need rain. Its way to humid. I need a reason to just lay around for a day and not leave the house. 

12. Caroline just came walked into my room in her second outfit for the day and is setting up a tea party for us. Oh excuse me a diet pepsi party.

Holy Burnt!!!

Yesterday we got our little pool out and all the bike and our big ball sprinkler for the kids. I was laying out with my sunscreen on and I guess bc I haven't gotten sun all year and with the kids rubbing up against me it wiped some of it off. I have big splotches off burnt areas. It hurts! I made the hubby put aloe on me last night. But the kids had so much fun. THey  played outside all day long. They were pooped at bedtime. 8pm didn't come fast enough for them! lol

My cousin is still here. Caroline loves her being here because she will sit there and watch her change into princes dress after princess dress. She had her sitting in her room listening to her sing some song she made up lol. 

I went to the best bridal shower Saturday for my very dear friend Julie. It was so sweet and I absolutely love her family. Her mom and I do zumba together and I am good friends with her and her older sister. I love them. I am so excited to shoot her wedding for her! 

Well we are off to zumba and to the park! Hope everyone has a great day!!

TGIF!

SOOO glad its Friday! We have had to getup really early for Caroline's new kindercamp and I am not used to getting up THAT early lol. Its been really nice though bc I hit the gym and then get all my stuff done early. But I am definitely missing my sleep! My cousin is in town this weekend which is very nice. I am crossing my fingers that she moves to Nashville! Tonight we went and got Mexican. Its nice to see her. It reminds me of growing up. My moms family is from Louisville and seeing her reminds me of our weekend trips to Louisville riding in the back of my moms station wagon with wood grain on the sides lol. Listening to the stone,the beatles, mamas and papas, janis joplin hence my wonderful taste in music as an adult lol. My granny who I loved so much and think of all the time lived in this little house and she collected buttons and did a lot of puzzles. She read all the time. Probably why I like to read so much and read a couple books a week lol. She was so amazing. She had 3 sisters and they all lived close and we all got together all the time. Louisville always feel like home to me. Being with my cousin always brings back a flood of good memories and love. 

I am going to drag my butt to bed and read and hopefully fall asleep early! I am going to post my new wedding rings. Excuse the bad pic. I took them with my little point and shoot camera.  I love them. my husband rocks sometimes lol! Excuse the bad pic. I took them with my little point and shoot camera and had to turn the flash off. And my ugly man hands. Its not my fault I blame the yard work lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Spoiled......

yes I am. My husband has really been spoiling me and somehow I talked him into getting me a new wedding ring lol. I will post pics tomorrow when I get it! I love my hubby. He is the best! I am a lucky girl! And spoiled!!!

Hunter got a haircut yesterday. Its very cute I will post some pics of him. HE WAS AWFUL while getting it cut. It was just downright embarrassing! He is such a mess! He is the sweetest/biggest pain ever! lol I swear he says mommy 200 times a day and that's being nice about it! He says it over and over and over! He pinches and love slaps. He drools on me. He head butts me. Tonight I can even say he got poop on me. But he is a mamas boy. And just seeing his little face makes me smile! He is so happy and just so affectionate and sweet. HE definitely has the key to my heart!

My friends Justin and Rachel had their baby last night. Caroline is in love. We went and she held him and that is all she has talked about all day. Its amazing to me that someone so little can be so maternal and loving. I was definitely not that way when I was 5. She is so gentle and kind and loving. I am so proud of her. She is just getting to big to fast. And she is a big shopper. We went to Gymboree for the 2nd time this week and she knew exactly what to do. She walked right up to a rack and was looking for her size and picking all her own stuff out. Spoiled. I don't have any idea where she gets it!!!  Hope you all had a great day!!! Will post some pics tomorrow! Nite!!!

My kindergarten camper!

Today was Caroline's first day of her kindergarten readiness camp. I was so sad to see her go. I am a big baby. When I picked her up her teacher stopped me to tell me that she was a teachers dream and was the most advanced in her class. She said she was definitely ready for kindergarten and she was so polite and had the best manners. My first thought was who my child????? lol This morning she laid on her floor screaming and crying bc she was so tired. It was a glimpse into the teenage years for sure! But I was so proud of her and proud of myself bc her teacher said my husband and I had a done a wonderful job. I take ALL the credit myself!!! I am excited for her. She is very excited after going and can't wait to go again!

This weekend we worked our butts off. Scotty really worked hard. We got 3/4 of the flagstone around our patio. I thought it was easy but we were out at dark with a spot light piecing it together like a puzzle. It was a ton of work!! We are going to work tonight after the kids go to bed. Hopefully we will finish tonight! Caroline wants to have a slumber party and have a fire and roast weenies and mallows. We went to South Branch yesterday and the hubby bought me another hydranaga. I can't stop buying them! lol We went all over and got new flowers to hang in our baskets on the front the back were already done. 

Well my pics are in order backwards but there is some of our work. We are planning a quick getaway next week I think just the 2 of us. We are going to a golf resort. I am very excited. We don't get much alone time with 2 kids so this is exciting for us! We are still looking for a beach house for this summer so if anyone knows of any great ones let me know!! I am going to enjoy a few moments of quiet time. I say that then I know I am going to get up and go do something lol! Hope everyone has a great day!!
