aren't saturday mornings the best? i love waking up slowly and leisurely hanging out. no "drink all your milk, go find your socks, put your jacket on, hurry!!!....get in the car now or we will be late!" i feel like such a nice mom on saturdays!

1. yesterday night, we went to olive garden. i haven't been there in ages but thought the boys would like a new "experience" (if you could call it that!). anyways, i ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (which is like 1500 calories, but since i'm doing zumba, i think i can eat it. :) i'm seriously so cheap because when i am eating this $16 bowl of pasta, i'm thinking the whole time, "i can totally make this for less than $5 at home!" oh, when did i get so cheap?!

2. i love it when i am singing in the car and chase yells out from the backseat, "sing it, mama!" so cute!

3. i taught the boys to shake their collars just like justin bieber does when he sings, "shake me from this bad dream" in the song baby, so when they hear that song, they shake their shirts when that part comes on. it is too cute for words. hey, i'm not ashamed to admit i like justin bieber!

4. today, we have a ridiculously crazy day. it kind of makes me feel guilty for being online right now cause i have so much to do! crapola!

5. i watched two documentaries this week: "waiting for superman" and "which way home." both made me cry. it made me want to do something to help both causes...donate my time or money...just do something!

6. when i first thought about what tyler would do this summer, i made a long list of all the camps he would attend. when i showed my list to jason, he told me that i could teach tyler this summer. the more i thought about it, i was like, "hell yeah, i can do it!" so i thought up a whole curriculum for him, breaking down each week into different subjects. each week includes at least one very thought out art project a week, one easy recipe a week that he will have to make for the family, one song he will have to memorize and sing for us each week (i researched and looked for some kid songs he could LEARN something from, but also some very influential, popular songs as well, such as imagine by the beatles), and much more! i'm actually very excited. so happy tyler is at an age when i can just show him what to do in the mornings and he will be able to do 99% of it on his own during the day when my other children are here. tyler is a really good kid. if i tell him to do something, he usually will just do it without a fight or struggle. don't know how he got so obedient! i'm really not a mean, scary mom...i swear!

well, i really have to be going downstairs now and feeding the poor boys...they must be starving by now. they usually eat breakfast at 6:30 during the week!
