A Cinderella Story Playdate

Wow! It's been two weeks since I've jumped on here. It's definitely been a busy past two weeks. The boys and I had our own car for a whole week so we were non stop between the park and lunch dates and a play date with our favorite family of 4. I came to the conclusion that this family definitely needs an SUV!! With two boys and two huge car seats and toys and snacks and drinks and more toys and strollers-whew! It really gets crowded!

The boys and I had a play date with my best friend who has two kids who are the same age as Kyser and Zavier except her newest edition is a girl. (We will call her G for privacy purposes). Anyway, Zavier is in love with baby G!! Every time they are together he cannot keep his eyes off of her! Here are some candid photos I caught of the Love Birds : )

Zavier is feeling her heart 'pitter patter' for him! lol

We joke-either my son has a foot fetish or it's a scene from Cinderella. Except where are G's glass slippers??

Reaching for each other!!! How cute! And how cool are these jumpers? They look like little puppets!

Tricks of the Trade

Peek-a-boo!! I love this tushy! HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY! 

The past few months I have been tapping into my artistic, crafty side. Since I can remember I've always been infatuated with art, painting, sketching, sewing-any craft really. I love doing hands on projects and I love creating something of my own. Currently there is no room here for my easel so I've been sewing and embroidering. I have made 2 blankets for Kyser and one for Zavier. Also a blanket for my best friends first daughter and our cousins first baby girl. I wanted to share some pics because frankly- I am pretty darn proud of myself.  

Hello Kitty fabric I used for our cousins baby and our best friends first daughter

I embroidered the R for baby Rosella

this is the matching pillow for Rosella with her initials monogrammed on it

This is the second blanket I made for Kyser. He loves dinosaurs and Mom Mom loooves this fabric!

..and this is baby Zavier's first blanket I made for him.


p.s. Thank you mom for showing me the 'tricks of the trade' when I was a little girl. It really made my imagination blossom. 

A post for mommy and daddy's

One of our cousins in California sent me this post and I have to share it with you all. Is there anyone out there??

Mommy and Daddy's can surely appreciate this witty and truthful post. I am patiently, patiently waiting for the opportunity for the hubby and I to get away. There will most definitely be lots of condoms as well.

Only one poopie diaper change thus far today. Yesterday was a record breaking 7 total poopie diaper changes and one that got on the bathroom carpet!! I love my life.

It's a beautiful day in South Florida. A 2 1/2 year old, an 8 month old, a 12 year old and I are taking a bus to a local mall which by the way is the largest outlet mall in Florida. Wish me luck !

Maniac Monday

Goodmorning! Goodmorning! Goodmorning! I've actually been up since 7:15 but this is the first chance I'm getting on the lap top. Baby Z is counting sheep and Kyser is watching a little cartoons.

So, I mentioned before that I've wanted to start a blog for a while and now that I finally have I am realizing it's kind of tough for me to write a post on a whim. Before I actually designed the blog I had a million plus some ideas and thoughts I wanted to express and now it's like I have stage fright. You know, I always wished I had the guts to be in Drama as a kid in school. I always thought those kids were so brave and envied their fearlessness. Maybe Kyser will be in Drama- he is a bit of a drama queen.

Yesterday was a good day. The hubby was off from work and played basketball for 4 hours in the morning so the boys and I enjoyed dancing around the house blasting some of Mom Mom's favorite past time tunes while I prepared the food. Yes I am a food preparer-not a chef, not a chef de cuisine-just a plain food preparer. Slowly I am working my way up the pyramid but I am still at the bottom. Well, maybe second from the bottom. I never had to cook for myself or anyone before I had kids and (ahem) got a husband! It's fun though. Messy at times but definitely eventful. I'm a Jew married to a Latino so you better believe I had to learn how to cook. One way or another. The last bag of beans I made from scratch weren't burnt too bad. Yikes.

I said I would post pics of this vintage fabric I scored on over the weekend and here are some pics. Ugh, I am obsessed. I'm going to stretch the fabric over wooden frames and put them in the boys bedroom...

Today folks- we constructed airplanes

Today the boys and I hit up a local fabric store so Mom Mom could pick up this chic, vintage upholstery material she's been eyeing for some time now. Lucky me the fabric was still on sale ; )

Now, I will be the first to admit that my boys are not perfect but damn I am pretty friggin lucky. My oldest son Kyser who is 2 1/2 is so obedient. I know typically people use that adjective when referring to their pooch but it truly best describes him. We take him out in public all the time without a stroller and the kid always stays by us. He'll occasionally wander off and explore but never strays more than 5 feet away from us. I personally think that's just great. Especially considering the hubby and I never invested in a double stroller. Yikes. Oh and don't get me started on the 'baby leash'.  I guess obedient would really be the perfect adjective if we used one of those. Grr.

So, anyway, let me get to the point. We rarely buy our boys gifts. Don't get it twisted, they didn't wake up Christmas morning with coal under the tree and empty stockings but more specific, we don't get them gifts to keep them quiet or just for the hell of it. However, today I did splurge on a $3 gift for Kyser because I just could not say no to those beautiful, brown eyes. (That is something I battle with all the time : ) ). So here are some pics of Kyser painting his airplanes today. It was the best $3 I've ever spent....

He was so meticulous

Quick cheese face for Mommy

C'mon, I just HAD to!! 

This was his final piece.

Tomorrow I will post pics of the airplanes and of the sweet fabric Mom Mom got! I bid you all a goodnight. 

The beginning of the End?

Well, I have finally decided to blast my personal life and the life of my kids and husband on the internet. I created Eat, Poop and Laugh because these are the three verbs that most accurately describe my everyday life . My kids eat and then they poop... and poop...and poop. I, however, do not eat anymore. I have effortlessly mastered the 'scarf down' method. Now a days, it's just gobble and swallow for this mommy. After eating and pooping which between both of my boys, happens about 6 times a day, then it's time for laughing. Nothing pleases me more in this world than making my boys laugh. Lucky for them my husband and I enjoy it more than the big, blue sky.

I wanted to start this blog well because to be frank, I need to find 'ME' again. Having children has turned my world upside down. By the way, I mean that in the most positive way. I absolutely adore my kids and yes, even my husband. However, in this whole madness of becoming a mother of two and oh yes a wife - well, I forgot who I used to be.

Is this the beginning of the end? Stay tuned...
