It's Raining...It's Pouring...

The Old Man Is Snoring. Ha! Praise Jesus for the rain!!! It rained pretty much all weekend long, and it was very refreshing. But with the rain, comes the mosquitoes and the boys got ate from head to toe! Poor Monkeys! I think I used an entire bottle of calamine lotion.

We spent the early part of Sunday cleaning house and helping Houston study. We make it a family event and even Austin helps Houston study and learn his letters and words. Houston now knows ALL his letters, lower case and capital, and we're now working on writing them down as we call them out to him and he's pretty much got that down too! YAY Houston!!!

Although he doesn't look too happy, Austin actually asked to help. He just doesn't like his picture being taken...just like his daddy! He helped him with his sight words too. Such a good big brother.

Houston is an absolute mess. He is so head strong these days and refuses to let me dress him anymore. He flips his wig if he doesn't get to pick out his outfits each day. He says this ensemble totally matches because they both have white in them. Ha! I love that monkey!

Let's just forget about the fact that he's got a St. Patty's day green and white shirt paired with 4th of July red/white/blue shorts. At least they both have white!

We did a little shopping Sunday afternoon and finally decided to check out our Ghetto mall...and ghetto it is.  The mall has a Macy's, JcPenney's, Sears, Marshall's and about 10 regular "mall stores" but for the most part it is mom-and-pop stores. It looks like we'll be travelling to the Galleria for our shopping! Our plan was to look for Halloween costumes but we had ZERO luck.

I went a little drastic with my hair this time. I decided I wanted something totally new and different. Success! I love the color, I'm just not sure I love it on me. But it's growing on me. :)  It's called Deep Burgundy.

Since it was raining cats and dogs, we decided to have a movie night Sunday night. The boys didn't have school today so we had an excuse to stay up a little late. We watched Transformers 3 and Fast Five. I loved them both!!!

I was so wound up after watching two action-packed movies that by the time I finally made it to bed, I wasn't tired at all.  I ended up watching I Am Number Four (another pretty good movie) and didn't go to sleep until almost 2:30 a.m.  Needless to say, I was pretty much dragging today.

The little one just couldn't hold on any longer. So super cute and sweet.  We call him our human blanket.  He sleeps so hot we just lay him on top of us and he's like our own little heating blanket.

XOXO,
