The Boys Turned 5 - May 29

This is a long awaited post.  It's been almost a month now since the boys turned five years old.  I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly!!!  I've been so busy lately getting everyone ready for the end of the school year, summer activities, getting a new script for Tommy's epi-pen (he's allergic to bee stings!) and I may have a new job at work that is a promotion, but I'll find out more next week (hopefully!).

I was able to get one good pic of the boys in the morning of their birthday.  They were far too excited to sit still.


We didn't throw a huge party for them this year, as we figure next year we'll be doing a big party with their new Kindergarten class.  However, that doesn't mean we didn't get our crafty on!  I made the boys ice cream cone cupcakes that had sprinkles and a jelly bean on top to make it look like a cherry.  Tom made the boys both a space shuttle and a moon cake as the present theme we had for them was outer space and astronauts.


Phoebe helped the boys with their presents.  And yes, Marcia, you can tell Kendra she still likes to wear her sleeves at least half-way down her hand.


They love to play dress up, so we decided to add really cool astronaut costumes to their collection.  They may be this for Halloween next year if they still fit.  Liam loves the costume the most. I think he'd like to live it in.  With the visor closed too, just like this pic!


They are so happy to be five and be such big boys.  They've finished preschool for the summer break and will be having fun swimming, running around and going to the beach.  It will be time to books again before we know it.  School starts again for all the kids on August 25th.  Phoebe will be in 8th grade and we're happy to say she is moving onto Honors Geometry, which she will get high school credit for!  The boys will be going to Kindergarten at our local Catholic school, as it's full day and they will be on Phoebe's bus to and from school so that is convenient.  I'm so proud of our kids.  They get bigger and smarter every day!

Happy 5th birthday! Here's to many more years. Those cakes look yummy. And the outfits remind me of Armag.eddon (the movie)
Happy birthday to my gorgeous SIL and his just-as-gorgeous brother :)

They are SUPER DUPER adorable in their astronaut outfits, Heather, and Tom did a FANTASTIC job on those cakes. I'm in awe!!!

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...

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...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

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.
