Alrighty, I know that it’s been a few weeks since I had a personal post. As you can imagine life with 3 boys is a little bit hectic. They keep me very busy each and every day. Now that the weather is warming up we have been trying to do some fun family things. We have spent a lot of time outside playing in the yard, riding bikes and had a trip to the Crayola Factory a few weekends ago. We have also been trying to do some minor house repairs. I am trying to update Ben & Sean’s bedroom. A long, long time ago — actually 6 years ago tomorrow — we moved into this place with just Ben. So their room was the guest bedroom and I had painted it a light green to match my fancy Restoration Hardware bedding. Fast forward 6 years {and two more kids later} and we no longer have that guest bedroom and that bedding is in a tote somewhere in our basement. So I wanted to update the room a bit to make it their own. I painted it a nice tan and I can’t wait to buy some wall name decals from Etsy for above their beds. I also plan on finally hanging the curtains {the ones that Sean ripped down two years ago} and add a few shelves. One of these days I will finish it and post some pictures. But I did get the painting done one morning so that’s a start!
Last week my dryer broke — it just stopped heating. So I waited around today for the GE repair man to show up and tell me what’s wrong with the thing. Of course it wasn’t the dryer. He said that I am getting no airflow so my ducts are probably in need of a good cleaning! Now having your dryer break when you have 3 kids is not fun. I have been hanging up my clothes all over the place. It’s not fun washing boys socks and hanging them over the shower rod. Then your shower rod falls down at night and scares the living daylights out of you. Oh and during this time, Sean had an accident over night and Ben had a bloody nose. So I had two comforters and a set of sheets to wash. Thankfully we spent some time in Delaware this past weekend so our laundry made the trip with us. Thanks to our moms for helping us wash our clothes! It’s just like when we brought them home over Christmas break in college! I really wished that it could have been fixed today because I need to do some more laundry ASAP!
So I can’t believe that Owen is almost six months old and that summer is just around the corner. The past six months have been crazy and hectic but it really has flown by. My little guy is getting so big and I want to stop the clock and slow it down. Owen is rolling over, trying to sit up and already eating a ton of food! Here are some recent pictures of him.
I mean come on, how freaking cute is this kid. Just six months ago he was this “tiny” little 10lb chunky monkey!!

Ben has been doing pretty well at school. He loves going (even though he is home sick today with a “sore throat”). He loves reading books and doing his homework. The kid has handwriting like his father…. Messy. But he is such a hard worker. We are also working on some of his behavior issues and hopefully we can get them under control soon! Ben has an exciting summer coming up. He will be going to 2 weeks of CCD camp right after school ends and then he has a few other weeks of Rec Camp. I can’t wait for him to get out there this summer and enjoy himself. He is always so anxious when he is trying new things {hmmm not sure where he gets that one from} so I really hope that he has a fun time at his camps.
Ben is starting to enjoy sports a little bit more. He has started to play basketball a little bit more and wants to play for our rec league. He also spent the weekend in Milton playing baseball with his daddy! Both kids had some great hits. I’m still trying to explain the game to them but tonight they did go outside together and to have a catch! It was quite amusing watching them play. I think between the two of them they caught the ball 3 times but they didn’t care. They had a blast. Ben even told me tonight that it’s not about catching the ball, it’s about having fun. A quote that he just picked up from watching the movie The Sandlot this week.
Sean is also enjoying school. He loves his friends and he definitely can’t wait for September. He cannot wait for kindergarten and the bus ride! I can’t wait either. Sean also has a few weeks of camp this summer as well. He has Kindergarten camp. Ben went for one week last year and loved it so I decided to sign Sean up for 3 weeks.
Between the camps, visits to Milton and my mom’s pool I plan on keeping the kids super busy this summer. Less time for trouble and lots of time for fun. I hope that they both learn to ride their bikes without their training wheels too. Sean rides his bike a lot more than Ben so I have a feeling that he will be the first to get it. But fingers crossed for both of them.
This past weekend we took a trip down to my in-laws for some rest and relaxation! It was nice to just hang out all weekend. We didn’t make it into Rehoboth because Sean got sick but we did have a lot of fun cooking Smore’s on the firepit and swinging in the trees!
So that’s the latest with our crew. I am busy every day running to the bus stop, school, karate, grocery stores, painting bedrooms and scheduling dryer repair men! In a few weeks school will end and the schedules will be all over the place. I hope that it’s not too crazy and we all have a fun and exciting summer! We hope to make it up to Hershey Park, take the boys camping for the first time and get to the Jersey Shore as much as possible!
What are you summer plans for the kids? Pool? Camps?
Have a good weekend!!!!!
