Five Question Friday!!!

TGIF....big time! I had a crazy busy week at work and I'm sooooo glad the weekend is here!! I get to sleep in tomorrow and I can't wait...it's pretty sad but that will likely be the highlight of my weekend!! Anyway....here we go with Five Question Friday....



1. What celebrity have you been told you look like? Hmmm....I haven't been told I looked like a "celebrity" since high school. I was a trainer for the football and basketball teams in high school and our quarterback - and his dad, the coach - were both convinced that I looked just like Shelley Fabares who played Christine on "Coach" back in the day. That's honestly the only "celebrity" I've ever been told I look like!

2. What is your all time favorite movie, any special reason why? My absolute favorite movie is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". I really don't know why but I absolutely love this movie and have since I was in elementary school.

3. Since we're talkin' movies...Popcorn: overrated, underrated, or 'bout right? Definitely overrated! I can NOT stand popcorn! It really amazes me that so many people like it. It has such a weird texture and squeaks when you eat it - gross!

4. Are you a glass half empty or half full kinda person? Unfortunately, I'm a glass half empty kinda girl. However, to put a half full spin on it I always say that I expect the worst BUT hope for the best. Does that help??

5. What perfume/cologne do you wear? I wear Banana Republic W perfume. Most people don't even realize they make a perfume but I love it and it's the only one I wear. I haven't worn anything else in at least 10 years. And BONUS - my husband wears Banana Republic M so we match!! DOUBLE BONUS - the new outlet mall that's 2 minutes from our house has a Banana Republic store and they sell my perfume for 40% off. Life is good!!!

He Sits.....He Scoots!!!!

My sweet little baby Easton is sitting up now....he falls over some but I think he's an official sitter at this point. He also 'scoots' all the way across the room as long as there's nothing blocking his path!! I don't know if it's technically an army crawl or not but he lays on his tummy and drags himself across the room with his little arms....sounds like it's pretty close to me!! Tonight, he got up on his hands and knees for the first time.....my little baby is growing up way too fast!

I need to get some pictures of these new developments but he's currently sleeping on me and I shall NOT mess with that!!!

You Tube Debut

Brady and Zachary are officially "famous". :) And I'm quite proud of myself for figuring out how to upload a video on You Tube. Really, it was the only way I could email it to family and friends since the file was too big to attach....it's pretty funny, though!

We had a really good weekend. Yesterday, we did some serious shopping and got some really good deals at Kohl's - all 5 of us went and all of the boys were really good. Then, we went to lunch at Zachary's new favorite - Ruby Tuesday's. They were all really good again which is rare for dining out. Then it was back home for naps (me included - yea!) and Brendan grilled out some really good filets last night....unfortunately, the Hogs lost - otherwise, yesterday would've been just about perfect! The Bengals won today so Brendan's a happy camper. Overall, it was a great weekend!! Too bad it's already over!

Five Questions Friday

This is the first time I've seen this one but it looks like fun....and I love answering questions/filling out lists so, here we go.......

1. What's your favorite line from a movie?-

My favorite movie of all time is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"....I guess my favorite line from that movie is, "and I love to dance". :)

I also have to throw out "nobody puts baby in the corner"....especially b/c of Patrick Swayze's death this week. :(

2. What "group" did you belong to in high school? Goths, jocks, preps, drama, nerds? - I guess preps??? Although that was the majority of my high school anyway but I think that would fit me best given the choices!

3. If you had $1000 just for yourself what would you spend it on? That would be too fun and will never happen but let's see.....LOTS of shopping, a girls' only lunch, mani's and pedi's and a nice, expensive dinner w/ the husband!!

4. What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Does Fraggle Rock count???

5. What kind of sleeper are you? Back? Tummy? Side? Sprawler? Definitely not a back sleeper - that was my least favorite part of being pregnant!! Tummy, side, and sprawler for sure! I take up lots of space and move around a lot....a king size bed is the key to a happy marriage in this house for sure!!!

Boo Boo Jammies

About 20-30 times a day (that's probably conservative), Zachary - AKA "Monkey" - claims to have a "boo boo" that needs to be kissed. He is quite clumsy and runs into things, falls for no reason, etc. all the time; however, these phantom "boo boo's" also occur when he's doing absolutely nothing. (About 90% of the "boo boo's" are on his knees.) It's pretty cute, though and about the only time he asks for a kiss so of course, we oblige. Anyway, we were at Target the other day and I found the absolute PERFECT pair of jammies for him.....the monkey was the first thing that caught my eye. I buy just about anything I see that's reasonably priced and has a monkey on it. Then I noticed the band-aids.....I couldn't have designed a better pair of jammies myself! These are just perfect for our little accident-prone Monkey!!

Slacker

I guess I've been a slacker in September. Not much has been going on I guess. Brady's loving school, Zachary's a talking machine and Easton is growing like a little weed. That's it in a nutshell!

Okay, so Easton's such a different little guy all of a sudden. It's crazy how much they change right around 4 months. He's so alert now and can roll across a room in no time. He's not sitting up yet but probably will be soon. And I have a feeling it won't be long after that before he starts crawling. He kind of scoots around on his stomach by getting up on his elbows and knees and drawing his knees in to his chest over and over - hard to explain but it seems to be an attempt at crawling in my opinion. His main mode of transportation is still being a rolly polly. I now consider him to be mobile because we have to move things out of his path so he doesn't hurt himself! Sounds mobile to me. Here's a picture of him "playing" with one of his brothers' toys. It's hard enough to explain to the big boys that they need to share with each other.....they're really not going to understand when they have to share with Easton, too!!

Side note - the jammies featured in the picture above were the first pair of jammies that we ever put Brady in....see the picture below - Brady's first official night as our son in Russia...so happy for a quiet room to sleep in...this is one of my (first) favorite memories of Pumpkin Head...

In other news, it's football season. Brendan was soooo excited for the first Bengals game of the season. I was instructed (kinda) to dress the boys in Bengal wear on Sunday. Zachary (still obsessed with shoes) is now wearing Brady's former Bengals jersey. Being the slacker that I am, I have no yet purchased a new jersey for Brady - I need to get one.....anyway, Brendan put Brady's old jersey on Zachary yesterday before he left for the game....of course, the first item of clothing that goes on that child AFTER the diaper is the shoes (pronounced "shoosh")...so, he wandered around with just a jersey and "shoosh" on for a few minutes before Brendan found him some suitable shorts to wear. It was so cute - hard to get a picture but still cute...even with the boo-boo on his forehead....

Brady picked out a new Bengal shirt in crisis mode at Target on Saturday night. He's quite proud of it...as soon as he saw Brendan wearing his Bengals shirt Sunday morning, he wanted to put his on, too! Even though it was 80-something degrees outside yesterday, he insisted on wearing it. Even during his nap....and even with the navy blue shorts Brendan put on him but whatever!!
