MOMMY MADNESS!!!

So some of you are aware that I was chosen among 4 other Houston moms to test drive the Chevy Traverse for 8 weeks and blog about my experiences. I've held off on posting about it because Stevie was convinced that this was just another scam I fell victim to. Well, I'm thrilled to announce that my new (temporary) car is sitting right outside on the driveway! How ya like me NOW?! I'm beyond excited...a little shocked actually. I'll be posting details and video footage for the duration of the program, but I want to give you guys the link to our website:

And PLEASE tell everyone you know about this promotion. It's an awesome car and there's a treat for anyone who test drives.......

This May Be Our New Home

We spent the day at the Discovery Center again. The boys definitely got even braver around that pond. I couldn't get pictures because I was busy preventing Caleb from diving head first into the pond while simultaneously banging him in the back of the head with my camera. At some point his feet were on the ground yet he was elbow deep in the water. Figure that one out. So I put my camera away until we were more than 20 feet away from any water. Luckily I was able to get a quick snap of Braxton stirring "soup" as he put it.

Hunks

The boys and I spent the first half of the day at the Nature Discovery Center. We had a blast but somehow by the time we made it to the end of the trail, both boys were shirtless. Weird.

Ok, I swear they don't just walk around shirtless in public places. They went a bit overboard splashing their sticks in the pond and ended up soaked.

Lightening McQueen is in the Building

So last week Grandma called to let us know she had picked up a few Cars-themed items for the boys (since their fondness for them has grown into a bit of an obsession). Imagine my surprise when I opened two boxes and Lightening McQueen himself literally came expolding out of them. Things were actually TALKING to me as I tried to pull them out (where on earth do you find a talking t-shirt?). Caps, lunch kits, clothes, pj's, toys, all jam packed in those boxes! The boys are sleeping right now but when Stevie gets home we'll try to video tape the unveiling of the Cars shrine. But it seems that every time we break out the camera for what we expect to be a priceless reaction to something, they just give that blank, droopy lip stare and we end up feeling all let down. So no promises that video will make the cut. We won't be giving them all the goods at once - maybe half now, the other half when Grandma and Papa comes to visit in a couple of weeks so they can witness the reaction firsthand. That talking shirt is definitely one I'll be saving for your visit, Grandma ;). Seriously, thank you so much for everything you sent them. It's far too much but we really do appreciate it and I know the boys will too. They're going to LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!

You know what's gonna be hilarious? Caleb insisting I let him wear that McQueen sweatshirt to the park when it's 98 degrees out.

Go Rodeo!

We finally managed to get to the rodeo this week. Luckily we were able to beat the spring break masses by getting there early on a Thursday morning. The boys were mesmerized from the start- in fact our trolley ride to and from the parking lot proved to be the biggest hit of the day (knowing this will make next year's trip significantly cheaper). As far as who enjoyed the events of the day the most, well, the pictures sort of speak for themselves.
