Our family fun day is March 14th, which I am coordinating this year and want to make sure everything is just perfect. Its been fun coordianting all the activities and vendors so far...

Mardi Gras - Parades & Balls Oh My!

Its that time of year down here in the deep south. The weather is unpredictable, the mail boxes and doors are decorated with purple, gold, and green, and Toomey's business is booming.
Yep, its Mardi Gras, and we LOVE IT! Thursday night the family and I will be heading to downtown Daphne to see the Apollo Mystic Ladies Roll. Saturday night Chad and I will be attending a ball in Orange Beach with some friends at the Mystics of Pleasures. I cannot wait! It will be like a fairy tale night out with my prince.
Sunday the whole family will again attend another parade in Daphne, the Loyal Order of the Fire Truck Parade. Its going to be lots of fun! Cant wait to post pictures.
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, the kids are loving Mardi Gras too, they are out of school next Monday and Tues... you dont get that just anywhere~
Happy Mardi Gras Everyone!

BOYS BOYS BOYS!!!

Wow! What a weekend.. For anyone who has boys, you can agree with me that there is never a dull moment. There are tons of times, I wonder, Why am I being punished for what my husband did as a child. See, this weekend, if it wasnt one thing, it was another. To start it off Sat, Jordan, the oldest, went with a friend to a skate park, and I need to mention that this skate park is 30 minutes from our house. Well, little to my knowledge the boys were being dropped off by the parents while they went another 30 minutes North, an hour away from home. The boys were to be at the skate park alone from 10:00 until around 4:00. Well, when I found out, which was around 1:00 I was not HAPPY! Jordan failed to tell me the details of the days trip, slipped his mind I guess. YEAH RIGHT! I may not have even known the boys were alone if I had not called the Mother of the other child. And to top that all off, my son, did not answer his cell phone when I called, reason being, someone had stolen it from the bench at the skate park!! GREAT!
Well, by Sunday that was old news, especially when I get a knock at the door by an upset neighbor that my son and three other boys had been "ding dong ditching" their house at 11:30 pm the night before and again that same morning around 10:00 am. Not only were they ringing the door bell and running they were throwing oranges at the people house and car. See, the boys know the little girl that lives there... well, can you say TROUBLE!! My oldest was in some more trouble, wow!! He says he didnt do it, that is was spend the night company that did, but come on, boys will be boys.. and if his friend did it that was spending the night, your just as guilty!
Anyways, the neighbor was not too upset and accepted Jordans apology and a statement that he would NEVER do it again! So, when Chad got home Sunday from Baseball evaluations, I wanted to slap him... for he is the reason our kids are so bad. Im sure of it! But oh well. Boys will be boys, and Im sure its not the last of it! I just have to keep smiling and saying that one day, they too will get paid back by their kids... hahahaha ... and As their kids Me Me, I will laugh! :)
