Boys 4th Birthday!

I can't believe the boys turned four years old this week on May 29th!  I feel like they were just born yesterday and so small.  They are definitely not small now.  I have no babies left.  That said, they are so much fun!  They love to say, "You're joking" and don't like when we say "Let's see."  They told us that means no.  The boys got Legos, books and Spiderman, Batman and Superman action figures to play with.  Tommy is all about building things with Legos, blocks, tinker toys and anything he gets his hands on and gives great big squeezy hugs!  Liam loves books, puzzles, pretend play, dressing up as a superhero (Batman is a particular favorite) and only cuddles when he's tired.

They loved their birthday.  They took home made carrot cake cupcakes to preschool to share with their friends and teachers and then had two individual cakes at home to blow out their candles.

I have so much to post on about the trip!  I'll try to do that in little pieces over the week.  For now, enjoy these pictures from their birthday.

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
