Tonight was same ole, same ole. Scott had to coach Elena's soccer game in Desoto, which started at 6. The same time Ricky's baseball game started in Mansfield. Brandon's started at 7:45. I figured I wouldn't have much to blog about. WRONG!!! You guy's know I always have something to say.
Allan only had ONE diaper in his back pack. (You know, that's my responsibility. Why on earth would I count on anyone else to take care of this?) I so desperately want him to be potty trained. Well, he soaked through his shorts. Luckily, I had some clothes in the truck of my Honda. I was changing his diaper in the back seat of my car, with the car seat in the middle. (You Mom's know what I'm speaking of.) Well, I tugged on the diaper a little too tight and the tab broke. Good thing, I had a pair of training underwear in the back pack. All evening, I was praying he wouldn't wet his pants because then he would have to go naked from the waist down. Well, wouldn't you know it, he wanted Gatorade another kid had. He was eyeing it. The child's parent offered him some. I explained why I was trying to dehydrate him so he couldn't have any.
Allan walking through every water puddle on the way to the car. By the fourth kid, is it really going to hurt? No, Mom and Olivia, I'm not becoming a softy!
While we were at the ballpark tonight, Allan kept pointing at this man. 
Today, my brother, David, and his wife, Amie, came over to visit. I know what you're thinking, "WHAT?" I was surprised too!!!! (David is the oldest of my three brothers. We use to visit and call each other all the time.........our lives just became busier. Then he met and married someone who really makes him happy, so no time for big sis...............which I totally understand. Pretty much, we just see each other @ my parents. I haven't seen him since Easter which I know wasn't too long ago, but we only spoke briefly due to the crowd.) They recently celebrated their one year anniversary by going to Eureka Springs for a week. (Congratulations!) They came bearing gifts for the kids, which was really thoughtful of them. We all enjoyed them coming to visit. My kids love their Uncle David. We were all so glad to see them and spend time with them both.
Brandon really LOVED his souvenir & wore it all afternoon.
Chief Elena.
Perfect for Ricky.
Allan has this fascination with vacuuming. He starts whining and crying when he isn't allowed to. If I could only get my older kids to volunteer to do the same..............vacuum.
Allan: (with his baby pic in hand) "Gook Mommy. Iz (it's) me. I cute!!!!"
Allan and Brandon braved the cold this morning to cheer on their big brother. Who can predict this crazy Texas weather? 
Elena's math teacher, Ms. Green, told her she would vote for Pedro, if she knew who he was. Obviously, she's never seen Napoleon Dynamite which came out a couple years ago. She isn't missing much. I didn't care for it. My husband and kids, on the other hand, thought it was awesome.
