Start of September
Unfortunately the warm weather is coming to an end, but we had a pretty good summer. The boys have been outside all day every day and as much as I hate the cold I'm looking forward to not having to sit out in 90 degree weather all the time. Soccer starts September 8th which will be skills day. I shouldn't have told Sean because he asks me everyday "do I have to go to soccer today?" He & Colin have been walking around the house in spikes for the last 2 weeks. He doesn't seem as thrilled to start school but I think this year will be easier for him to get back in the swing of it. He & I made some nice friends there last year who we've kept in touch with over summer and had a few play dates and I'm thinking it won't be as strange to him this year. Sean & Colin are starting to play a little nicer together they still have their fights every day, but I've noticed when the neighbor hits Sean, Colin is ready to physically defend his brother and vice versa. Sean actually told him, hey only I'm allowed to hit Colin! lol Anyways, Colin is doing better and better with talking right now his favorite word is "mine". The start of terrible 2's has begun and has been rough for me to say the least. He throws temper tantrums over anything that doesn't go his way. Sean has been getting a little fed up also. Colin got mad and threw his truck down the steps, so he wanted me to go down and get it, naturally I refused so Sean yelled "fine, i'll go get your truck as long as you shut the hell up"! Well I couldn't blame him, it makes our days seem longer. However, when we were with my grandmother he apologizes to her when he does something wrong and tries to soften her up, shows his sweet side. Probably because she doesn't put up with his temper! hah! I've never seen him do that before.. I know I make him out to sound like a little monster but he definitely does have a sweet side. Paulie is doing well he just hit 5 months on the 30th. I have him a little more situated on a schedule. He sleeps about 6-7 hours a night and takes a 2 hour nap after he eats lunch. I've been feeding him rice cereal mixed with fruit, which took a little getting used to but I feel that he has a full belly which allows him to sleep a little more. He is now skooching his way out of the bouncy seat, car seat and throws his body back in the bumbo chair when he wants to get out of it. He is doing that screamy noise right now. He still loves to play with his feet and he's amazed by his hands.
Well my sister Jaime and I took one last trip down to the shore Monday with the boys to visit Mommom & Pop Mayza. The boys had such a great time we went to the beach where the boys played in the sand, collected jellyfish, and played football. Paul was excellent on the beach he napped, ate and when he wasn't doing that he was pretty pleasant. The weather was perfect and it wasn't as crowded. At night we took them on the boardwalk they went on the rides, got ice cream and afterwards we'd go visit Mommom while she was playing fascination. They had a game in there called Deal or No Deal. It allowed you to win up to 1,000 tickets if you won. I got a little obsessive with it. There were a few times where I picked Deal and I had picked the personal case with 1,000 tickets in it. I wanted to win they had different things in there. Even though I didn't win, The boys got to get nice things anyway. Cousin Nicole cashed her tickets in and got each of the boys a Superman action figure that talked, and lit up. This past time we were just there Mommom cashed hers in to get Sean a mini skateboard ramp & Colin a fire Engine set. They were real happy when Mommom took them on a tram car ride, Sean and Colin really enjoyed that. The trip was really great, and I was glad to spend that extra time with my grandparents and sister. Jaime will be going back to college Monday, which will be sad for me we hung out a lot more this summer. I was glad we got to hang out. I want to also Thank Mommom & Pop for a wonderful vacation(s).
Here at home, things have been hard this past month. Rich started a new job at Colonial Cadillac and also took on 2 Bartending jobs for the managers of the new dealership and a side job for his old boss doing carpenter like work. He has been tired doing that and I've been tired from being with the boys alone and frustrated that I haven't really spent time with my husband. The extra money has been put to good use though. I just didn't realize how much that extra help from Rich with the kids made such a difference. Stupid things like me changing one diaper and he changing the other or occupying Sean & Colin while I'm tending to Paul. But, I know I have to do my part and hang in there. I think it's just that 3 is a hard task. Multi-tasking doesn't even sum it up. I love my boys and I know at the end of the day I was glad to be the one taking care of my family despite the long day.
Well Paulie's baptism is finally in the works we go to pre-jordan class on Sunday. I will feel better when it's done and taken care of. Sunday will also be a fun day afterwards we're going to my Mom & Dad's to celebrate Paula, Mark, Kevin, Ryan & Colin's birthdays. Exciting August news ...My best friend Linda & her husband Nick just had their 2nd child August 7th, a baby boy which they were hoping for so bad! Being they already have a beautiful daughter Giovanna. Baby Dominic had to stay in the NICU for 2 weeks but, Im glad to report that he is home and healthy! My mother and father in law just celebrated their 36th Wedding Anniversary on the 31st! :)
