Alcohol and late nights

So I was awoken this morning at about 2:30 due to my neighbor yelling explicit at what I assumed was his son (he kept saying "you are my son") Apparently for whatever reason (my guess is because his dad drinks too much)he didn't come home last night and when he pulled around with his friends, the dad began to rant and rave. All I heard mostly was the cussing. After about only 5 minutes of this (any longer and I would have called the police) I heard a "just go" and the dumb idiot threw a glass beer bottle at the vehicle. I watched the van drive away and the drunk go back into his house. Secretly I hoped he would fall over in the road (but that's not very Christ-like of me). When I took my garbage out this morning, just my luck the bottle broke in MY driveway!!! I was LIVID!!! So not only am I in a hurry to take Kaiya to school, but I also have to clean up a grown mans temper tantrum. I am hoping Karma bites him in the butt - or at least pops his tire...

Mom's Day Surprise

So with Isaiah being out of town, he couldn't very well plan getting a gift with the kids. So, he called up and spoke with Kaiya (who loves to talk to people on speaker phone) about the surprise. If you know Isaiah, you know that he is not very good at "surprises". Kaiya is excellent at keeping secrets though. He managed to let it slip that they would be delivered on Thursday. They arrived and were beautiful. Kaiya's response was "Is that what we got you? Oh." Usually if you are trying to surprise someone and have another in on it, you let the other person in on it know what you are getting!! Thanks kids - they are beautiful!

Where has the time gone?

So I have been sitting here watching the kids and realizing where has the time gone??? Kaiya is in 1st grade at the moment, doing GREAT I might add, and only has about 25 days left of school! I can't believe it is almost summer! Then my sweet little girl will be a big, bad 2nd grader! She is already planning for her 8th birthday! Then as I look at Kaden, although he is such a little stinker, he can be the most absolutely sweetest boy ever. We are working on potty training but he is very stubborn. He is talking all the time, too. I guess I am noticing the little things more because Isaiah has been out of town, so I am thinking of all the little things he is missing. And then there is Eli. The kid is SO mobile!!! He isn't crawling yet, but between scooting and rolling he can get from point A to point B pretty dang fast! I am almost worried!! He is starting to eat "big boy" food and loves it! He is always laughing at Sissy and Bubby. I appreciate the fact that he is my mellow one. I hope that it will last! Make my babies stop growing!!!
