Online shopping aka My worst enemy

Ugh! Help! I have been online shopping so much lately. In between buying stuff for the house, and buying rain boots for the girls, I just keep clicking and clicking and clicking... and well by now, I have about 5 packages on the way.

This is some of the stuff I have purchased for the kids and I cannot wait til' it ships. I am mostly excited for those leggings and the pink rain boots! I also purchased some shorts for baby Lucas (as well as the joggers pictured).

You can purchase these items here: Old Navy and Gap

HAPPY SHOPPING!

Happy Sabado!

Our summer has been pretty boring. We have been stuck indoors most of the time... I cannot wait to move to the house to have the kiddos run around like... well.. KIDDOS.. haha! We don't have a pool at the house but when I used to coupon I ended up buying one of those inflatable pools and well the kids will get a kick out of that. Kids are amazing, they are content with anything, and the small things make them happy. Too bad adults don't feel the same way. We are cranky and ask for too much.

On Wednesday night we left to Clearwater. We left at around 9-10pm in hopes that we would wake up early to enjoy a sunny day at the beach. Well that didn't work out. It rained the whole day on Thursday. Our stay at the beachfront Hilton was a total FAIL. We ended up ordering room service breakfast ... waited for the rain to stop, and that never happened.

We ended up going to a children's museum in Tampa and we had fun! It is pretty big compared to the one in Lakeland (which is closer to us). This one is 3 floors. The kids enjoyed themselves. Afterwards we just drove home (1 hr drive) and picked up some ice cream. Our beach planned = ruined but the kids were still thankful (see what I mean?). I barely got any pics. You can catch me walking around with a video camera now a days... and I mean it takes pictures but the quality is pretty shitty.

1. The kids could dance and watch themselves on the big screen. It was pretty awesome. You could choose what kind of music you wanted to dance to: hip hop, country, latin and so on. There were awesome disco lights as well. Kids had a blast. That's daddy holding Lucas. You can't see Isa, but Juli is the one in the front.

 

2. Daddy threw on a construction worker outfit on Lucas. The goggles did not last very long.

 

We have a HOME!

So excited to say I am a HOMEOWNER! We closed in June. I am as happy as I am exhausted.

We are re-doing the whole house. Painting, putting tile in,laminate floors, new bathroom fixtures (at least for the guest bathroom), new kitchen counters, we need appliances, new couches... the list goes on... and on... and on.

It is so hard to get much done with the 3 kiddies. Every time I go to the house to do something Lucas cries to be carried. When I go to Lowes, the kids fight over who gets to ride in the shopping cart that looks like a car. They fight over who gets to "drive the car". Sometimes I just put Lucas in the cart and let the girls walk, which then turns into complete chaos. The girls run around the whole store chasing each other, opening doors, touching EVERYTHING.. you know being kids. Meanwhile, I am rushing to get out of there as soon as possible. My stress level goes through the roof when this happens and I try to remain as calm as possible, which let's face it, it is not easy.

Anxiety is getting the best of me. Our lease is up July 31st and there is still a lot of work to be done at the house. I look forward to finally moving in after all the work we have put, and still have to put in. The house is coming out beautifully. I can't wait til' the kids can each have their own rooms, run in the backyard, and I can lay in my big garden tub!
