6/28/2011 - Nuttiness

For me, I have always felt like the state of organization in my physical life is always a reflection of the state of organization in my mental life. Lately, work has been a jumbled mess. With coming back from being off for the past 5 months and the craziness of the end of a fiscal year and inevitably the start of a new fiscal year, things at work are just ... nutty. With me being back a work, commuting, juggling pick ups and drop offs, home life is just a bit ... nutty. We try our best to keep the house tidy, but it's hard to choose cleaning time over downtime. I feel nutty right now. I wish I could find an easy solution. I wish I could just change my thinking about it all ... but that seems nutty. What to do?

6/27/2011 - Brotherhood

From Drop Box

Finn is the best big brother ever. He spent some time snuggling on the couch with Liam. There's nothing sweeter. I feel lucky each day to have such sweet children. I know that they will always have each other's backs.

Liam is a morning person. We get the best smiles in the morning. He spent Saturday morning snuggling with his papa. Cuteness.

6/26/2011 - Day Date with the Finn

My lovely and amazing sister babysat Liam today, so Jesse and I could take our little Finnman on a day date to see the Cars 2 movie. Finn wore his aloha shirt in honor of John Lasseter, the director of the Cars 2 Movie, who loves aloha shirts. This Cars movie was very special because there is a main character named Finn McMissile, a secret agent type, who is featured in much of the movie. It was pretty cool to have some alone time with Finny. He spent the whole movie snuggled on Papa's lap stuffing his face with nacho chips, gummy bears and popcorn (his special date food). The movie was super fun and the biggest treat was hearing Weezer sing a cover of the Cars song "You might think". This made the movie even more special for Jesse, a huge Weezer fan.

6/24/2011 - Evening Ice Cream Stroll

Jesse and I took the kids (Dylan, Finn and Liam) for a summer Ice Cream treat. It was virtually impossible to keep up with Dylan and Finn. The boys were racing up our steep hill. I imagine this is the way it will be when Liam can walk too. Things to look forward to ... reasons to keep in shape.

6/23/2011 - Roll with it baby

From Drop Box

Our baby is rolling over BOTH WAYS!!! The travelling is about to begin. No more are the times we could leave him on the couch with no fear of him going anywhere. And it begins ...

6/22/2011 - Morning nap

Now that I am back to work, I have to wake both of the boys up early to do the drop off at my parents' house. Finn starts the day out with a nap. Innovative kid uses the A's hat as a sunblocker. Poor kiddos. Hope they start to get used to the early morning wake up soon.
