Blog Fail 101

Once again, I've fallen off of the blog train.

A series of events beyond my control took over and I haven't blogged.

I've failed a few things and succeeded in others.

My greatest accomplishment to date went like this...

Ace: "Hey Bug, we've got to get up early tomorrow to make it to R's birthday party at 10:00(am)"

Bug: "Seriously...I hate getting up that early"

Yup, I'll be writing a new parenting book soon titled something along the lines of

"Sleep training your kids: The anti morning approach"

Or

"My kids are better than yours"

or

"I like to sleep...and my kids do too!"

So, our summer has gone like this...

Kids get out of school

Sister has a baby

Good friend gets married

Signed up for the "big bonus" plan at work that has me working a bunch-o-extra shifts

work

work work

birth babies, birth babies, birth babies

Go camping

Carlos gets a hair cut

Go visit sister and nephew

Turn 32

Go on much needed date with hubby

Still waiting on 

SIL to have baby

So, I'm not going to catch up on all of that, so I'm going to take you on a brief picture tour of our life as of late.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

which is how many I'd need to describe this kid.

 my beach bums!

 My hot date!

Honestly, we're living life and loving it.

I remind Hubs regularly that we're 

"Living the dream, baby...

Living the dream"
