Yunessun II

On Saturday, Amy and I decided to take our boys to Yunessun Hot Springs. You may remember me talking about the relaxing, luxurious, Yunessun in an older post, but this time was MUCH different.

Six hours on a bus, six hours at the hot springs, with 3 boys under the age of 4. It was a bit exhausting and chaotic. The best decision Amy and I made was taking along, Christine, who babysits the boys on occasion.

I must tell you that the boys did extremely well, much better than I had ever expected! I was waiting for several outbursts on the bus or uncontrollable crying, but not a peep. I was so proud of them.

It took awhile for Caleb to get use to the temperature of the water, but once he did, he loved it!

Riley on the other hand, loved the water from the moment he touched it.

This was the only cold water tub and Caleb got in with this father and son like he belonged to their family.

We had a good time, but...

I'm so exhausted from the walking and carrying of Riley up and down stairs and in and out of pools and tubs that my back aches and my muscles burn. I think I'm going to wait for Shawn to get back before we take anymore big excursions.

I did it!

I just wanted everyone to know that I got a flat tire today and I changed it! By myself, while two Japanese men watched me! Caleb was very impressed with my skills. As was I... considering what was in the trunk to work with. All the directions written on the jack are in Japanese.

TP Abuse

WARNING: A roll of toilet paper was destroyed in the making of this clip.

And then, my other wonderful son cleaned up the toilet paper without me ever asking him to.

That's right, Caleb is like his mother and Riley is like..... his uncle Eddie.

Blogger vs. Facebook

I am having trouble keeping up with both my blog and facebook. Facebook is too easy because it's quick and you just write a sentence or two. Blogging takes so much more time, but I like that it's more personal and I can share more with less people. UGH. I have got to figure out how to spend more time blogging. I miss it. And I miss catching up on everyone else's blog. I feel guilty going to others' blogs when I haven't posted anything on mine. Like I need to give some some to get some... Is anyone else out there having trouble keeping up with all the ways to keep in touch?

My usual time for blogging is at night, after the kiddos have gone to bed. But I have been so tired lately that I just want to veg out in front of the t.v. and not think about anything. Is that plain laziness or what?

No Doggie Bag Needed

Who needs a doggie bag for leftovers? Not Riley. I always wondered what belly buttons were useful for, now I know. I love how my kids teach me something new everyday!

Good day sticker

Caleb has been doing great in school. His teachers say that he has awesome participation and a positive attitude with the other children. His favorite part of the morning is circle time where they sing the "Good Morning" song.

Yesterday, I picked him up and he had this bright blue smiley face sticker on his forehead. He was so proud of this sticker, he wore it until it was time to take a bath.

My new computer

Just in case some of you haven't noticed that I have been posting pictures again, I have!! Why?? Because I got a new computer!! I got a MacBook Pro and I love it!! It is so user friendly and FAST. I'm still getting use to the differences, but the differences are so awesome!! I am so glad that Shawn talked me into buying a Mac and not another PC. And yes, I'm putting that in writing, Shawn was RIGHT... now don't expect to see that phrase written again for a long time!!
