is it already wednesday?

well, as I sit here thinking "when is Aaron going to stop crying and fall asleep?" I am remembering the really fun weekend I just had and I can't believe its already wednesday!! It all started last Friday, I asked to leave work early because i was just sitting around doing nothing. I left, came home, checked in with the hubby, got some money and went to spoil myself for 45 minutes getting a pedicure. Now i have to say, I tried this new place down the street from my house, it was kinda pricey and they didn't do such a good job. They did a decent job but I really need to find somewhere to go! I can't handle looking for new nail people, this is insane!!
Once i got back home, Hans and I got the boys ready and we headed out to my friend, Brandi's house. We were finally getting together for our couples game night. It was nice because i got to bring the boys and they played with her daughter, Kaydance all night long! So while we played and ate and got drunk...the kids played upstairs and kept themselves occupied until 1:30 in the morning. I couldn't even believe that it had gotten so late! I have to admit, it was tons of fun. We totally had a blast.....we were so drunk that of course, we stayed the night. We decided to go to the Pancake House the next morning and we ate like kings... after that we parted ways as we were obligated to go to my nephews 1st birthday party. Well, my kids were looking pretty scragly, so I told Hans that we needed to get their hair cut before we go to the party. Well, I didn't feel like paying $40. to go to the kids haircut store, so Hans suggested taking the kids to the Big W. that is where Hans gets his hair cut. So, pressed for time and trying to save a buck, I agree. BIG MISTAKE!!! Aaron has a little bowl haircut... the bguy shaved the bottom of his head drenched the top of his hair, combed it down and plastered it to his head and the proceeded to take the scissors and run them across his head in a not so straight line. So, basically Aaron looks like he was attacked by a weed eater. The guy cutting his hair was like 60+ years old, it was out of control.
Ryans hair.... lets just say, my husband pretty much shaved it. I'm so ticked off because now its gong to look dumb for their Christmas pictures. Thank Goodness i bought the boys hats for their pictures!
Speaking of Christmas, I bought their outfits, they are ready to go...let's just see if I can make the time to take them to get their pics done. I think i have the boys shopping just about done...My mother in law really, really did alot for them this Christmas...She was showing me her inventory for the boys last night. WOW...I don't really have to do a whole lot of shopping for them. She really went all out and bought them alot of nice stuff. Not to mention, she bought them a Rhino as well... So, now the boys will have their own (powerwheels) Rhino to ride when we drive ours. They are going to love it!
Hans and i actually made our way to that Mattel outlet off of the 60 fwy... I wouldn't really call it an outlet, the prices aren't too much cheaper... but the 50% OFF aisle...there was some good stuff. We picked up a huge toy pirate ship for Ryan (for Christmas) it retails for $50. and with the discount(s) we only paid $17. for it. So, we were stoked about that... There was alot of Disney Cars toys...I think I will go back and pick some of that stuff up for their stockings and stuff... just have to make the time to get back out there.
My stepson is turning 16 in 5 weeks....I don't know what we are going to do....holeee lord!!! He asked us to not throw him a party, he would rather receive money to fix up his truck...of course, I was all about throwing the party... so, i'm kind of bummed...but I guess it worked out because, don't know if I mentioned this...Hans and I are now hosting the annual Sakamoto Thanksgiving Dinner this year...we are talking like 50 freaking people. Yikes!!! We will have to remind ourselves to Thank my dad for suggesting to have it at our house this year. We are somewhat up to it... I guess that is something that I should be working on.. I have no clue how to cook a turkey or do any of that stuff. Guess my mom is going to have to help out on this one....
Anyways, still haven't made it out to Disneyland, I am determined to get out there before the end of the month...

Here are your words:

Ryan: Bad Manners! (If we say something inappropriate or bad, Ryan immediately interjects and says "BAD MANNERS!!")

Aaron: Flower, Haylie, Donut, TV, Shoes, toes, water, I'm Done.

river season has come to an end...

well, we took our last river trip. we camped with some friends, and when I say camp, I mean sleep in a small trailer. As you all know, I don't sleep in tents and I absolutely refuse to. I did that one time and never again. I'm a brat, i know it, and if I start to forget, my husband reminds me about it. Hans and I took the boys and brought my stepson and his best friend, Eric (my other "stepson") it was fun. I'm definately getting better at driving the boat. I actually put it on the trailer in the wind and I must say, I did a pretty damn good job!! even Hans was impressed (I think) or else he pretended to be so that he wouldn't hurt my feelings. Well, in any case, i didn't end up on the fender and I didn't allow myself to drift onto someone else's trailer. So in my mind, it was a success!
Aaron and Ryan were their typical selves... crabby, whiney, hungry and definately had the parental ear muffs on. Its amazing how children can tune their parents out at any given time. Its so damn frustrating, I mean all I want to do is punch my kids in the heads sometimes for ignoring me but I have to remind myself that I'll go to jail. LOL! just kidding, bad joke. But seriously, my kids know how to push my buttons and they are only 2 and 3 for gods sake. It's freaking insane. It's hard to call a trip to the river with 2 children a vacation when you are so damn busy stressing out about one of them drowning. They always have a vest on but who knows what could happen? My Aaron is an Evil Kenieval...He is freaking crazy and has no fear what so ever! I think he is going to be a stuntman. Ryan on the other hand doesn't believe that anything bad can happen to him. He's definately more cautious than Aaron but he also knows mommy won't let anything bad happen to him if she can help it.
Ryan and Aaron are talking more than ever... In fact, I can't get Ryan to stop talking. He talks, and talks and talks..... My mom mentioned to me that she's even tried looking for an "off" button on him... he's too much. And Aaron, well, let's just say, he's always talking his crap. He's still got a mean attitude and he'll cuss you up and down in baby blabber...
well, I'm about to head to bed as I'm still trying to recover from the weekend. Here are your words for the day...

Ryan: "B, are you pissed off because your hat was in the trash?" Eric accidentally threw away brandons hat and they had to dig thru a dumpster to find it.

Aaron: "ryan, come here", he sings the itsy bitsy spider, counts to 5 and loves to sing the ABC's. "door" and of course, "NO".
