Back to school day with grandma, girls night out, and a super fun trip to walmart

Camden gave Keagan and Kaiden transformer and spiderman shaving kits for his birthday. The boys shave several times a day. Good thing they are keeping all those dang whiskers away!


The other day Keagan came and got me and said, "Mom, Kaid is playing in the water." this is major no no in our house because the boys get a little out of control. So as I walk toward the bathroom (door closed) I said, "Kaid, are you playing in water?" I open the door as he says, "no mom! It wasn't me!!!" Hmm, all evidence to the contrary! I am a little nervous about this kid!

This is what I get for thinking a mom of three boys can wear white pants! This little handprint was so perfect, I couldn't resist a picture

Camden just chillin in the bathtub. (one of his favorite places ever!) Maybe a little too relaxed!

a sweet moment with the boys. They were so cute taking such good care of Cam

On Tuesday my mom came and picked up Keagan and Kaiden to have a back to school lunch. They went out to Wingers and then to see the incredible hulk. Maybe not so much for young kids, but it was the backup plan since the Dinosaur museum had a line all the way to China. When Abomination appeared on the screen Keagan screamed out "Oh man, I have waited my whole life to see him!!" We had loads of fun with five kids 7 and under running around the theatre. Good stuff!

My cute mom made these back to school bags filled with school supplies for all the school age grandkids.

We wrapped up the day at Grandma's house where they got to watch Super Mario Brothers in Grandma's bed. Super huge thanks to super grandma!!

My cute mom and sister Lori and I decided we deserved a night out. We went to Bon Lossee (sp?) for scalp treatments which is always wonderful! Lori got the super treatment with two girls styling her hair.

Mom with her straight hair that looked so cute but was driving her nuts.

After hair we headed over to Mimi's Cafe where mom treated us to yummy dinner. (Don't worry that it only took us about 15 min to decide where to eat, we are pathetic!) After dinner we partied it up crazy style looking at baby stuff and shopping for fabric. We are hard core! So sad that we finally had a night out and we were too tired to do anything, but it was so much fun to just be together! I wish the rest of the girls could have been there too!!

This is my tired little baby after a super fun trip at walmart. The picture doesn't even do the shopping experience justice. I will just give you a taste of the fun Cam was at the store today...
First thing we got hair gel that cam opened and smeared all over his hair (that's when I buckled him in the front of the cart)
Next he reached back and opened the danimal yogurt drinks and girgled yogurt everywhere!! (Floor, clothes, groceries, yum!)
Then he decided it would be so fun to dump the entire dozen eggs everywhere- thank you! my favorite mess!
Finally we got in the car to go home and he reached over and tore open the brownie mix that he thought he should probably shake all over the car.
Did I mention how much I love shopping with my kids!! (Keep in mind that Keagan and Kaiden are running circles around the store as Camden is trashing it!)
Can't wait to take all FOUR of them shopping!
I really should get paid to buy groceries!

Ok, you win for sure, that sounds like the nightmare of all nightmares of a trip to the grocery store. I've had some bad ones, but amazingly, I think you just topped them all! Good luck to you!

Oh gosh, what a mess of a drive - huh?! ANd, those shaving pictures are classic - that is so funny.
I am so happy to see you got a fun night out with the girls - those are the best - so good for a mom!

Oh my word, Mary, I am totally making you an award for surviving your week :) But you forgot to mention Kaiden's yard sale driving lesson! Perhaps the grocery store made that story pale in comparision ..

Ok so I think it is time to start grocery shopping at night when Kelly can watch the kids!! I have also come to the conclusion that it is a good thing you live in your cozy little apartment because I am not so sure your children would survive if they had much more room to destroy!! You are one patient mama!! And you have some very boyish boys!! Lucky us 4 boys!! We should be tough a** moms by the time all is said and done!! :) Love ya!

I will never complain about grocery shopping again with my two girls! I agree with Janet, time to go when Kelly gets home. :) I love the back to school bags and the fun time with Grandma. Very cute and mischevious pictures!
