Well hello there, blog

TRYING to be "back" once more... but honestly, I haven't been in bed before midnight for the last week, and that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon, so blogging just may take a back seat to sleep for a while... SOMEONE is turning 5 this weekend! I cannot believe my baby boy is FIVE. We started the weekend off with a bang- his birthday isn't until tomorrow, but we gave him his presents tonight because the weekend is going to be a little busy. Unfortunately, the weather is terrible, so his "big surprise" just got a lap around the living room: [Imagine a picture here. Our internet is STILL not working right, despite repeated calls to the provider and having a rep here for an hour today. GRRR!] He seemed the most excited about a Geotrax train from ZuZu. Precious! It was a busy day, with his preschool Easter party this morning. So not only does he turn FIVE this weekend, but he had his LAST party of preschool this morning. *sniff!, sniff!* So, I guess this means it might be the last time I get a picture of this at the start of a school party: [Moses praying, squinting his eyes shut. Super cute, if you could only see it!] AND, since it has been so long since I've posted anything, here's one for fun from last weekend. Remember last weekend? When it was in the 80s? [Kids playing sprinkler, having a blast!] Darn Mediacom! You have interupted by blogging will-power once again! AND, blogger REFUSES to insert any spaces between paragraphs for some reason! THIS is why I have not blogged lately- it is too stinking frustrating! GRRRR!

Long time, no blog

I know, I know. I was on such a roll, right? And then NOTHING.

So something quick. We got the kids' pictures done recently, and I noticed something. Let's play a game. Can you tell which child is which?

Oh- grandmas can't play!

A dynamic duo

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's..... SURPRISED MAN! That has been Moses' superhero of choice this week, concocted straight from his imagination. Surprised Man wears an old pair of mommy's reading glasses (complete with rhinestones) and has a special little tool for "seeing close up children that are not safe."

Children like this one, who was wielding a knife at the time last night:

Last night, Moses let ZuZu in on the fun, giving her her own "costume." Meet...

SURPRISED GIRL!

With eyesight like this, it is no wonder Surprised Man needs a special tool!
