Birthday Blessings
Wow what a birthday. I kept wondering if I was turning 40 and someone had forgotten to tell me. I had a wonderful birthday...just too many blessings to count.
I received sweets cards in the mail from friends and family. My first birthday genie showed up at my office with cookies, balloons and a fun hat. Then not just one set, but 2 sets of beautiful flowers were delivered. Then another set of yummy cookies and cake with my office friends. What more could a girl ask for??! but it only got better. I was taken to dinner at my favorite restaurant of all time, joined by an OLD family friend and my brother and family. But the best was my present from the boys....an new flat screen monitor for my computer. It is awesome.

A few things about big brother
After writing up a few things about Archer, I kept thinking about the funny things that Christian says and does. Also, last night while filling out a few things in Archer's baby book, I took a peek at Christian's book. I was a little sad when I got to the last few pages. His book ends at his 3rd year...that means it completed. I guess that is the final sign. We don't have a baby anymore. We have a full fledged BOY!Now for some of Christian's funnies
1) Potty training is going great, but he refused to wear his undies the right way. The design (spider man, diego, or who ever) always have to be in the front, but they were designed to be on the bottom. makes for a funny site.
2) every time he goes potty he says "I hear the pee-pees"
3) when he is mad at you for disciplining him he tells you not to smile at him. He tattles on Daddy for this often. He runs and tells me "Momma, Daddy smiled at me."
4) he equates going to the movies with his Aunt Sassy. Anytime we say we are going to watch a movie, even just renting one at home, he mentions Aunt Sassy comes to get me and we get popcorn.
5) when I ask who his brother is, he lists off about 3 school friends before he mentions Archer. Guess they are his daycare brothers
6) when we or he sings a song wrong or says something wrong on purpose he says "that not go right" and then laughs

7 on 7
The little guy is 7 months old today, almost exactly as I type. We sometimes forget he was an evening baby, born after 6pm.
In honor of his 7 months here as seven little things about him.
1) He is a very happy laid back little guy. He smiles all the time.
2) He loves watching his big brother run around.
3) He loves his bouncy at daycare...he bounces around all the time.
4) He is a great eater. So far he loves his veggies more than his brother and his Daddy.
5) He is a great sleeper. He goes down at almost the same time every night and wakes up a very happy boy.
6) He is a talker, like his mom and his brother. We wonder if he is already giving orders like Christian, we just don't understand him quiet yet.
7) He is a thumb sucker. He middle fingers have given way to just his thumb. It is the cutest thing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
One of the favorite Farrell holidays is St. Patrick's Day. I'm keeping the trend going with my boys.
I am not one to boast (well that often) but my boys are pretty adorable in green. Christian must have the most Irish blood with his red hair and blue eyes.
Christian and one of his best little buddies Rocky are both in their green hats today.
This isn't a scared face for Christian, it is a "CHEESE" face for the picture.

Busy Weekend with the boys
Chris was out of town for the weekend so the boys and I were solo...well kind of. We were solo Friday night, but the rest of the time we had fun company to play with. Aunt Tallie joined Mommy and Archer for lunch on Saturday and then hung out with us until Sunday afternoon.
Auntie Tallie helped me since my hands were a little full without Daddy to help me. It was also fun for Mommy and Auntie Tallie to have lots of time to catch up.
Aunt Sassy took Christian to see and IMAX movie at the Bob Bullock Museum. It Under the Sea in 3D.
See the fun 3D glasses! He had lots of fun.
Daddy came home on Sunday and we were all very happy to see him....he even treated us to dinner.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention how Christian has been doing with Potty Training. He is doing WONDERFUL!!! Between home and school, he is really doing well. For one whole week in big boy undies full time he is really doing great.

This is the before.

Case of the Mondays
Here is a quick recap of our morning so far.
1) Got off at 7:15, that is late for us.
2) Had twice the amount of stuff as usual, that means full hands...watching Christian, holding Archer's carried, Christian's lunch, Archer's bag, more diapers for Archer, food for Archer, Christian blanket and cot cover cleaned over the weekend.
3) Christian spilled milk all over Caterpillar floor (Archer's room).
4) As I was helping clean up said milk, I stepped on Lucy’s foot (she is in Butterfly room and her lil sister Ellis is in Archer’s room)…she was not happy…cried and cried.
5)Tuition is due today, so had to run back to car and write check. Realized once I got to work that I wrote the check for the wrong amount.
6) 5 car accident on Mopac. Traffic was like a parking lot.
7) Had to remember to park in a different lot because they are starting construction on our parking lot....then get here and they didn't start construction yet.
I am having a case of the Mondays!
("having a case of the Mondays" is a feeling of weariness and apathy that some workers express when starting the work week on Monday. The phrase entered the pop culture lexicon after its use in the 1999 American comedy film Office Space.)
Hoping the River can help me out of my case of the Mondays
