some dreams aren't all good

Brennen has been having bad dreams lately. He says and I quote "A very big brown and white furry monster was chasing him" . We aren't sure where he is getting this from.

-No he hasn't watched monsters inc in like a year
-No he doesn't watch any shows with scary monsters
-No we don't pretend to be monsters or pretend they are real

The only things we have to do with monsters is his bathroom. It is decorated with monsters, but before you say well there's the issue. These monsters are silly. They have funny faces and bright colors, like lime green, purple, red and yellow.. So nothing brown and white. He also has a read with me book form hallmark that is a monster daddy and monster son. but they aren't scary looking or acting either. Plus it is read in mine and my husbands voice since it is a recordable book.

He has gotten to the point where he wont even lay in his bed at night. So a friend told me to do a "monster spray" and let him spray them away. We did that tonight and he loved it. And he slept for about an hour before he woke up with the dream again. It took me an hour of rocking him to go back to bed. Now I guess we will see if it last. Now this has been going on for about a month and only happens when D is out of town. I am not sure if this has something to do with it or not. Maybe he is missing him on some level that he doesn't understand and it comes out in bad dreams.. i don't know..

lets hope that if we continue the "monster spray" he will start sleeping better...
fingers crossed..

time with daddy

so I have been way behind on posting pictures off my camera.
so a few weeks d and i took brennen down to what is called the "train depot" not sure why minus one old train car sitting there.
but they have tons of peewee soccer fields lined up. and he got a soccer ball for his bday and a tball set. so we figured lets see how he does. We also took his small disc golf baskets and disc's out there. he refused to play soccer. go figure. he played a little tball but he really enjoys disc golf. of course. he is just like his daddy, lol. all in all it was a great afternoon spent just the three of us. we don't get to do that very often so it was wonderful. now that it is cooling off more now were hoping to take him fishing a little..but we will see..


happy thursday..

weekendish wrap up

so lets see. i have just finishing rereading true blood for the second time, minus the newest one. i have been on a waiting list and i got the call today saying it was my turn and to come and pick it up, after i dropped off my other books. go figure. and of course now that i am done reading and ready to start some fall projects i get strep. blahhhh.


lets see weekend wrap up..

saturday: i went to watch my fav college football team with my mother in law. we had such a great time. we met up with my sister in law , her boyfriend and her boyfriends cousin. i actually bought NOTHING from the venders.. i cant believe it. i got home at 1 am from the game(dinner afterward, traffic and the stadium is an hour away) got in the bed at 1:30 and then got up at 4am to take d to the airport downtown. it was an hour round trip. plus brennen got up at about 7:30. i was way beyond tired.

sunday: d left for new york and boston for a week with work. D has never been to new york and the one thing he wanted to see was the 9-11 memorial. It is very important to him and to us as a military family. his mom did some research and found out it is booked until october. but then i was sent this, (not sure why he didn't smile) Im so glad he was about to see it. he explained he is in the army and they let him in. he has sent me several pictures through cell phone so far and it looks like he is having a great time.

and of course yesterday i go outside and wash BOTH cars and then it rains, and will continue to rain for 4 days. what luck.

we totally busted out the halloween jammies early...

and doesn't everyone wear a banana as a hat???

long overdue birthday post.

Here are some pictures of Brennen's third birthday party. Incase your wondering it was a wonder pet theme.















I made a bunch of things for this party, maybe I will do a post about those another day..

when daddy is away

we have sleep overs... Brennen can tell when D is not around. I don't think he understands why D is gone during the week and only home 3 weekends out of a month. D wasn't even out of the house but maybe 5 mins today and he threw a fit about going to see his daddy. I told him that we would see him friday and well that wasn't good enough. i really should tape him yelling/screaming when he doesn't get his way. It is funny but very not funny at the same time. Funny b/c the words do not make since/his facial expressions but not funny since he is actually yelling at us and he will some times do this in public. Anyways...

So back to the sleep over. He gets super clingy when D goes. I let him kinda cry it out tonight for about 10 mins. It was a long 10 mins and it killed me. I texted D to tell him what was going on. I decided since my heart was breaking in half to hear him yell out to me as if something is scaring him to death that I would just go and lay with him, well that lasted an hour and he was still awake. So that brings us to now. At this moment he is snuggled up on D's side of the bed awaiting me to join him. I always said I would not be a co-sleeper. I don't agree with it at all and we don't do it a lot but there is really only going to be so many years where he is going to want to snuggle with me, why would i deny him and me for that matter of them. Now this will not become a everyday thing but once a week while daddy is away might not be too bad. Lets hope for a better tomorrow.

Now if I could only learn to take on less projects at a time, things would be great...

Busy day tomorrow and a little man begging me to come to bed. Goodnight everyone :)
