The Circus! (and another round of guess who?)

Firstly, I pulled out my other two kidlets 3 mo photos just to compare to Isaac. What do you think? The first two are trin and the last blake. Strong family resemblance but not quite sure who he is closer to; you can tell he's a diviney though cause of the dorky hair. =) Oh and we just got some cute 3 mo. photos at JCPennnys today and his eyes look way more blue than brown. I think he might end up with gray?

Alright secondly, the CIRCUS was in town and I spontaneously got us tickets for after our photo session. Figured we would make a day of it. We had a great time! Let's just say the circus ain't like it was in the good ole days. Down to one ring from three, cats and dogs instead of tigers, 3 elephants instead of 5-6, no actual trapeze artists and the tight-rope walkers were only 4 ft off the ground. I tried to just let the kids enjoy it instead of waxing eloquent about bygone eras. =) We got there early enough for the pre-show where the kids got to interact with the circus performers and pet the circus dogs. Trinity's favorite part was the motorcycles in the globe (duh! it SHOULD be everyones) and the chicks who swung by their hair. Blake liked the dog that knocked over the gates on purpose. Of course he would, Mr. CONTRARY. So, though it wasn't as I remembered I would call it a success. A success that I probably won't bother to repeat again but nevertheless a success.

they really do sleep anywhere

yeam, they don't really need the outfit to see they are clowns. . .

always updating. nothing stays the same

do you think that's true? I feel like some things are frozen in time while other things fly around me like atoms in a (insert some scientific rigamorole here because my husband would be embarrassed if I bungled a scientific example). You know what I mean? baby Isaac just turned three months today. I already can't remember exactly what he looked like as a newborn. I should have taken more pictures. Time has flown by yet here I sit on the computer cruising blogs and pinterest day in and day out because my little catnapper doesn't seem to give me enough time to accomplish anything truly productive. It seems like I am a stone statue at my computer always clicking, clicking, clicking. It's a poor substitute for being out there doing things but let's face it. I spend much less money doing this than hitting the stores and after all there is not much else I want to do. (I mean really someone around here must need a personal shopper that would be willing to watch three children while I do their shopping, right?) actually it's not like it's ALL I want to do. I do enjoy reading, dinking on the piano, and other activities (you know some day open an awesome boutique coffee shop like Shanty *holler) all of which however I feel detract from the brief time I have when baby is happy to actually give attention to my two older children. I know it's just for a time. New babies are naturally quite demanding and so they should be. I do still get frustrated. I feel like going for a jog (crazy I know) but the timing just never seems to happen. I want to spend quiet time with the Lord but it's the one morning in the week the baby is up early. All you moms know the drill. insert your similar issues here. Ha Ha, I am so distracted these days I am forgetting where I was going with all this. For example I put three of blake's shirts in the trash today and the diaper was almost in the washing machine before I realized what I was doing. lol. oh yeah, I remember. The point was to say that now that trinity is in school I have been wanting to begin preschool activities with Blake. Unfortunately he is already a video game addict. So today when I asked him to stop and he didn't listen I said "okay, but you have to go to storytime at the library tomorrow because you aren't doing preschool with mommy today". Um say what?! did I just threaten my child with an educational oppurtunity if he didn't stop his recreational one?? eegads. That was sooooo the wrong way around. I almost made it sound like it would be a punishment. Trinity loved her preschool storytimes at the library but here is a time I need to "update" to the needs of blake who is of course his own little person. I need to figure out how to get him excited about the same things that trinity was naturally excited about. hmmm, tough. I'm going to work on that. So to sum up, I am always updating and nothing stays the same. I guess it's true. Stay posted because in the spirit of updating I will be whacking my hair off to boyish lengths next wednesday. So excited! wow, I am so RANDOM. pull it together girl and go get dinner on.

hmm

quick update on personal enemy number 1. yeah, school started this week and with it my plan to work out consistantly. hahahahahaaaaaaaa (yes that is the crazy laughing of a woman who think she will find 1 hour blocks of time to work out with a 2 mo. old) so HASN'T happened. and I got that stupid bag of chocolate covered acai berrys from costco. curses! I am keeping in the back of my mind however that I have 10 min. solutions on demand on comcast so perhaps I might get my workouts in bits at a time. does this inspire me and give me the hope to press on? not particularly. let's be honest. if Iget the choice I pick zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. (sleep). like this morning after I got trin on the bus and the baby fell back asleep at 8:40 in the morning. GAME TIME blakey, don't forget house rules (don't open the door or answer the phone). zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes. okay so anyway. another thing on my mind is needing to give the first part of my day to the Lord. 10 min after my early morning nursing session to pray and read the word. another thing on my mind is that I need to expand my circle of friends. I love all you church people but how is a girl to get the gospel out if everyone is already saved!? hmm. . . .oh and I am inspired to try to write some more music and edit (yet again) my existing songs. needless to say Isaac is on the floor right now crying. neglected? never! slightly ignored? for shizzle. signing off to cuddle and coo! and in case you are jealous I will share:
