The Top 10 Reasons I Haven't Blogged for a Month

Here are the top ten reasons I can come up with for why I haven't posted anything since the first of August. Over a month has passed and the boys have grown so much. Liam is wearing 6-9 month clothes and not even 4 months old. He is giggling and rolling over from his belly to his back. Graeme is talking more and more, giving sweet kisses, and playing hard.

Here we go, the top 10 reasons for my blog slackness:

Number 10 . . . General summer fun and craziness






Number 9 . . . Hanging out around the house



Number 8 . . . Visiting with the Grandparents both around the Triangle and at the coast with Papa Witt or in Fayetteville with the Hales.


Number 7 . . . Adventures to the park. Our latest adventure included a new friend Flat Stanley sent to us by cousin Neal. We hope he enjoys his adventures with the boys. Flat Stanley was carried around by Graeme on the playset and came down the big slide with him without a scratch (He is tightly gripped in Graeme's fist in the picture). We were amazed.


Number 6 . . . Going for walks around the neighborhood. Sometimes we use the double stroller, and sometimes we will put Liam in a "pouch" and I carry him while Mike pushes Graeme on his trike (he rings the bell ;-)


Number 5 . . . being crafty whenever I can and trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards


Number 4 . . . Being constantly amazed and distracted by how fast my boys are growing up!


Number 3 . . . Cooking and cleaning around the house, though I must say Graeme is starting to be a great big helper with dinner and putting away dishes. He still has a long way to go with laundry as he likes to empty the basket and unfold clothes. He is also fascinated by the spin cycle and keeps opening the washer, making it take a little longer to wash.


Number 2 . . . The boys and I jam out to the songs and soundtracks of the many offerings on Netflix for the Wii


And the number 1 reason I haven't blogged, I'm a mom of 2 sweet and wonderful boys so I'm a bit of a slacker when it comes to sitting down at the computer when I can be chasing them around instead (especially since Graeme has taken to streaking)!
