Here we are at the beginning of November and I am bound and determined to write a weekly post! In fact, since I live by my Outlook calendar-- I am making a weekly task of it. There, it's in writing, maybe that will tie me to it more :) Here's to hoping anyway!<br />
<br />
So much fun stuff happened this past month that I thought I would just do a quick bullet list and then , of course, overload with photos!!<br />
<ul>
<li>August came and BooderBean started Kindergarten, he loves to read and write and is getting very good at both!</li>
</ul>

<li>BrotherBean moved up in a class and is now with the 3's and 4's at daycare. He is loving it and is growing up way too fast, his verbal skills amaze me daily.</li>
<li>I broke my foot during August and was stuck with an "awesome" boot for the next 4 weeks, my first bone to ever break and at the age of 31 too! It is called the "dancers break"..I told to doc he needed to change the name because my dancing skills are something to laugh at for sure!</li>
<li>Fair season began and we took the boys to a couple local fairs. They of course had a blast and their favorite parts were: the animals, face painting, rides, and cotton candy! </li>
<li>Soccer Season was upon us as well and we spent 2 1/2 months with weekly practices and games. And let me tell you, WOW, this BooderBean boy is pretty stinkin' awesome at soccer! He gets his game face on every time and gets in there and plays like he's been doing it for years. So excited to watch him continue in this sport. </li>

And the hardest part was that since I hadn't posted in a few months, each time I would check back here I would stare at a blank white page trying to find the words to start back up again!<br />
<br />
It really does upset me that I hadn't posted in nearly a year, and to think about all the milestones I have missed posting on and all those little memories I have failed to put down in writing!!<br />
Well, that is changing folks, I'M BACK!<br />
<br />
Not that there are tons of readers whom have been knocking down my door to start posting again or anything :) I more or less used this blog in the past as my "scrapbook" of memories for my children to hopefully look back on years from now and hear all the funny, silly, sad, heartbreaking, big, and little events of our life as the Krout Sprouts.<br />
<br />
NOW that I'm back...let me introduce you to 7 new members, well temporary members, to our family! We have 7 new pups that will be FREE to good homes in about 2 weeks!<br />
On a side note the cutie pie holding the baset turns thebig S-I-X tomorrow!!! Check back tomorrow to hear about his "5 year exit interview" :)<br />

He was so proud to get to pick out his own PJ's to put on that morning...oh and VERY opinionated about it as well :) </div><div style="text-align: center;">I laid out all his favorites: Moosh pj's (moose), a pair of Christmas ones that he just couldnt' part with after the season was over, his Choo Choo pj's (train pj's), and of course the Elmo ones. Each time I would lay out a new pair he would toss them back in the drawer and say "No, I wear Elmo pj's to cool". BooderBean and I were cracking up at him picking them out. Of course Elmo won, and then we dug out our Elmo socks and of course had to put our Monkey cowshoes (house shoes) on. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We even left the house 10 mintues early to have a mini photo shoot in the front yard before we loaded up and headed out for the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This whole fun, happy moods, morning came to a jolting halt as i realized i had just locked us all three out of the house with no house keys, no car keys, and a dead cell phone in my hand!!! Long story short, I learned how to break into our house and BooderBean got to climb through a bedroom window! </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I find my blog that I used to update weekly, or more, being neglected because I either haven't taken enough photos or I haven't got the time to sit and post for five minutes. And then...I went to Ash Wednesday Mass today...and my eyes, heart, mind, and soul were opened up to what is in front of me that needs more attention than anything. And what is that something you ask, LIFE!! Heard a great Homily, a much needed one in fact. About how God put these 40 days in front of us so that we could step back and reflect on our lives, where we are going and what we are doing. I realized I needed to take a look at the small picture in front of me every day, and not the big picture and my big "to do" list. <br />
<br />
Last night for example was EXACTLY what I needed to do, a friend asked me on a whim to come to the park with her kiddo after work and play with my boys and then grab some dinner and relax at her house...I instantly thought "no way can i do that tonight, I didnt' plan on it. Therefore I don't have a change of play clothes for the boys and I, I'll be in my work clothes, I didn't pack pj;'s for the boys for the ride home, I had plans of what needed done around the house tonight that i should do." But you know what i did instead...I left work, grabbed all of us a yummy drink (my last Starbucks for the next 40 days!), grabbed up my excited boys, and headed to the park to play! <br />
<br />
I am a big believer in "Everything happens for a reason". God puts people in your life for a reason...this sweet friend of mine is opposite of me in many ways. She is creative and crafty where i am not, she is most always living in the here and now when I am not, she makes me step outside of myself and just BE ME when she knows i need to, she is that person that i know i can call upon anytime of any day and she would never judge. I realized today in Mass that God has placed me where i need to be in a BIG way. Thank you to my A Girl.<br />
<br />
Here are a few photos of events that have happened over the last few weeks that are my "here and now" photos...random, i know, but they are true life!<br />

Have you been there? No matter your age, if your answer was just "no" then you are missing out my friends!!! This place was so amazing! We spent 5 hours there, and could have spent at least 2 more. </div>I'm about to go on photo OVERLOAD because there are just too many amazing photo ops throughout the day, I couldn't help myself :)<br />

So MilitaryMan did his magic and surprised us when the boys and i got home with the baby bed taken down, big boy toddler bed put up, room rearranged, and a certain somebodies favorite tractor blanket in place for the night!<br />
I still have BIG plans for my first major sewing project and making new bedding for both boys rooms, and curtains, and who knows what else...so stay tuned!<br />

THIS is our cutie patootie at 8pm last night...<br />

BooderBean is an old pro at this...he just climbs on up in the chair and settles in for his cleaning while he watches Cars movie on the mini TV over his head, all of course while sporting his awesome dentist visit glasses. BooderBeans first visit at age 3 had us leaving sad...the poor boy had 4 cavities and need caps! FOUR! It shocked MilitaryMan and I to our core because this is the boy who doesn't have a sweet tooth in his body and at the time would only drink milk and water. She said some kids just have sensitive teeth to cavities. SO when we left this check up we were so glad to hear that everything was in check and his teeth looked great, except for the massive overbite (sorry bud, you got your moms genetics on that one and will probably spend your junior high and high school years in braces like i did). <br />

</tbody></table>BrotherBean did so awesome! Well he was a bit fidgety and wanted down a few times but we busted out some blue surgical gloves and that entertained him while he got his teeth cleaned! We were worried about this one too because he fell on Thanksgiving day and knocked his front tooth back causing it to bleed quite a bit and has since changed from pearly white to a sad shade of grey. Oh i hate it for him, mainly because he'll have it till he's 7 or so!!! Doesn't bother him one bit though, he'll proudly show off his "gay teef" for you anytime (as he calls it). She said his tooth was just fine and as long as he doesn't injure it again he would just have a discolored tooth but at least it would stay intact. <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">See ya in 6 months dentist lady for another check up!</div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I mean i remember BooderBean being hilarious at this age but BrotherBean is stealing the show!<br />
He's making big strides as a two year old: had his first dentist appointment yesterday, we will be havnig his 2 year old photo session done this weekend, and then he goes for his two year well check Monday. I"ll update next week on it all.<br />
<br />
For today I'll leave you with a few funny photos of our little guy last week! We were taking down the Christmas decor and he decided that the Baby Jesus from the children's Nativity needed to be played with a little bit more. This Christmas season he has been able to communicate much more and has now started calling the Nativity Jesus: "Baby G's", and even says it with a gangster voice!!<br />
As i am packing items away i see him snag up Baby G's and run off to his room...i go in and check on him a few minutes later and this is what i find! He tells me he needs to read Baby G's a book, and then says he needs to rock Baby G's that Baby G's is sad. He makes a sad, melt your heart face, and grabs a blanket for Baby G's :) LOOK closely...you can see Baby G's snuggled up tight!!<br />
<br />
Cute, funny, creative, smart BrotherBean!!<br />

We all decided well in advance to have a much more relaxed holiday this time and get to actually get in some R&R and enjoy each others company rather than spend all day in the kitchen cooking and then cleaning it up. Instead we smoked a few delicious meats, had some yummy apple cider, and had a full spread of snack foods and dips and heavy appetizers. We sat around and talked, watched all the little kiddos play with all their new toys, played a grown up game of dirty Santa, and unwrapped hundreds of gifts. <br />

Brother moved "back East" as they call it, back in August to accept a really awesome job as a safety engineer with a really big and great company, Bechtel. He loves his job and is doing so well with it. BUT we love him more and miss him more!!! <br />
He came back for the biggest rival weekend in Oklahoma football, Bedlam Weekend!!! <br />
While he was in town we had a big ol' family meal and laughed, played, talked, hugged, ate, drank, and of course his sissy bawled her eyes out like a baby..come on, it's me, OF COURSE i cried! But like i told him...they truly are happy tears!! happy that his life is turning out so awesome for him!<br />
Just wish the distance wasn't a 24 hour drive or a $500 plane ticket :) <br />

Where oh where has the time gone? It was just 2 short years ago yesterday (December 7th-Pearl Harbor day) that I was due to have my second baby, but little Baby K 2.0 decided to hang out in mommas belly for 5 extra days until he was ready! Then on December 12th at 6:11 a.m. he decided that even though daddy had just left for a big day of hunting, and big brother and i had plans of making grandpa a birthday cake and napping all day...that he would have other plans for us and arrive :)<br />

Although it hasn't always stuck for very long (meaning, once they could say "Aunt Cinda") the youngest nephew has actually let the name stay and to him...i am and will always be Aunnie.<br />
<br />
Oldest nephew, i call him Saucy-who knows why really??, came to stay with the boys and I last weekend and OH MAN did we have fun! Military Man was off doing his Military duty and i had a house full of 3 energetic, excited, boys!<br />
It was so awesome to see my now, grown up, nephew doing big guy stuff! Instead of me getting to read them their bedtime story, he did it! He sure loves his baby cousin, BrotherBean, and he helped him with every single thing. Helped pick him up when my hands were full, helped him and BooderBean feed and water our turtle, helped me in the kitchen, etc.<br />

Although the weekend left me exhausted because it was also the Spring forward time change weekend and the older boys decided that their internal alarm clock would wake them at the new time of 5:19 a.m.! Grandpa called to check on things about 9:20 that morning and i remember telling him "we have ate breakfast twice, colored with chalk outside, had a soccer game outside, painted pumpkins, and snuggled in my bed and it's ONLY 9:20!!" Needless to say the coffee pot was on all day long and by that evening a glass of wine had been poured :)<br />
<br />
I just love that little boy so much! I cannot believe he is already 7 years old and in second grade!!<br />
We will be doing weekends with him way more often!Krouts Sproutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13345296210435478299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087603511124436827.post-37273555635266578442011-11-01T16:46:00.000-05:002011-11-01T16:46:23.415-05:00A Restful HalloweenI know that as Halloweens come upon us in the future we will have two sugared up, hyped up, trick-or-treatin' boys on our hands...but not this year!!! This year was the most relaxing time ever--why you ask? Well mainly because at 7:15 p.m. Halloween night 2011-THIS was the scene through my camera lens...<br />

</div>And because BooderBean and BrotherBean were so tired after only 2 of our 6 visits last night, we only were able to snap one photo of them actually "trick-or-treating" the family. Grandma and Grandpa Krout were the lucky winners! We made a stop off in Glencoe to visit them and then took the boys out on a ride in the pasture to snap a few shots of the active boys playing up their roles of Deer Hunter and Deer.<br />

They haven't even been able to see all the goodies they received last night because they snoozed through the rest of the evening. BrotherBean woke up for a few of the stops, long enough to be carried heavily to the door and give a big hug and kiss to aunts, uncles, nana's, mimi's, and papas, then he was like BooderBean...smooth out!<br />

As i mentioned before, i decided it would be fun this year to ask YOU all to ask him questions and let him answer them...some were funny because the questions were way out there so i told him if he didn't understand the question then to just give me a funny answer, which he loved!<br />
<br />
Now, folks, these answers are straight from his mouth, no filtering or editing was done--although maybe i should have, i just wanted to remember years from now exactly what he was thinking at age 5.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">What would be the best day ever for you as an almost 5-year-old?</span><br />
<ul><li>"A day of playing all day long with my toys in my bedroom"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Playdoh Piano"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">Now that you are FIVE, what is your favorite thing to do on the weekend?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Play games on daddy's iPhone"</li>
</ul><br />
<span style="color: red;">BooderBean are you full of Poop? (this was from Military Man's very best friend-our "Uncle Mike", who is currently deployed in Afghanistan-BooderBean just adores this man!!)</span><br />
<ul><li>"That is not a propriate word" (as he said with a scowl on his face, hahaha)</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">How do you like school?</span><br />
<ul><li>"It is good"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your favorite memory of when you were a young lad (4)?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Going to Big School and playing with my little brother"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is the best thing about turning 5?</span><br />
<ul><li>"That i get to chew bubble gum now" </li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What will you be able to do now that you are 5 that you couldn't do when you were 4?</span><br />
<ul><li>"I can touch the top of the counter at home now" (what??? he could touch the top of the counter at age 2)</li>
</ul><br />
<span style="color: red;">What does your mommy do for a living? </span><br />
<ul><li>This is a 2 part answer as he didn't understand if the question was what does your mommy do OR what does she do for work. So he gave both: <br />
"what does my mommy do? well at night i know that mommy lays in bed and watches TV and then falls asleep with it paused and then it's on night long because sometimes i get up in the middle of the night and she is asleep with the TV on, she does this because she is so tired i think" HAHA good job buddy, yes, mommy is tired isn't she :)<br />
"what does my mommy do for work? She probably gets to work every day and gets a cup of coffee and then does her computer work" HAHA does he know his mommy or what!!</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What does your daddy do for a living? </span><br />
<ul><li>Again with the 2 part answer:<br />
"What does my daddy do for work? My daddy works for the Armory" notice he said FOR the Armory, not AT the Armory? HAHA<br />
"What does my daddy do? Well daddy lets me play on his iPhone sometimes and he smokes cigarettes"--yup, that's right he said that..so this sparked a whole conversation for sure.</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What do you want to be when you grow up?</span><br />
<div></div><div></div><ul><li>"A cowboy that has a big farm and a construction worker"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">If you only got to keep one thing you own, what would it be? </span><br />
<div></div><div></div><ul><li>"How come I only get to keep one thing?" So I explained that if for some reason something happened and we only were able to keep one of his toys or something what would it be-he thought for only one second and then answered with tears in his big brown eyes "I would keep pig and home blanket" Home Blanket has been his blanket since he was only a few months old, and both stuffed pig and home blanket go literally everywhere we go!</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">Do you think your mommy is a control freak? Lol (p.s. Some of the best mommies are...I should know!) ;)--this is from my friend, who kinda knows i might be.</span><br />
<ul><li>"Piano" i told him he could make something up if he didn't understand :)</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your advice for other big brothers out there?</span><br />
<ul><li>"To take care of the little brothers, I would do this by if there was a bad guy that came to the house, i would beat the bad guy up!"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What do you think of your little brother? </span><br />
<ul><li>"That I love him!"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your favorite cartoon show? </span><br />
<div></div><div></div><ul><li>"I have two, they are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Never land Pirates, can I watch a show now????"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">If you could go anywhere for one day, where would it be and who would you want to take with you?</span><br />
<ul><li>"I would go to a water park! I would take my brother, my mommy, and my daddy, oh and Maggie and Gunner. Oh wait--Maggie and Gunner can't swim, they are dogs, never mind"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your favorite color at age 5?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Red and Blue"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your favorite food?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Shrimp, of course, and orange juice and grape juice"</li>
</ul><span style="color: red;">What is your favorite thing to wear?</span><br />
<ul><li>"Jeans and boots, well Wranglers and boots"</li>

Each year he plants a wide variety of vegetables, watermelons, and pumpkins on his farm. I don't know how he keeps up with it with the ease and grace that he does, he also has a couple hundred cattle and a more acres than i can count of tending too as well! I love this man, I can't say it ENOUGH, i truly was a blessed and lucky woman on September 4, 2004 when i gained him as my Father-In-Law. This man is a saint I tell you, a saint!!<br />

The drop off was a bit harder than his momma would have liked, i guess i didn't really prepare myself for tears and clingyness. But when i showed up at 3:15 to pick up my big man he was all smiles and proud of himself as he strapped his backpack on and showed me all around his classroom and the play area.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the highlights from his day, ALL in his words mind you:<br />
<ul><li>"my favorite thing we did was play outside at recess. that's what they call it at big school, recess, not just playground time"</li>
<li>When MilitaryMan and I were asking him all of our 100 questions about his day we could tell he was getting annoyed because he then said this "is this how it's going to be EVERY day? that you ask me every single question about my school day over and over?" hahaha!! sorry son, but yes, your dad and I care, and that's our job :)</li>
<li>When we explained to him that he didn't have to play with the mean little boy that is now in his class that was also in his daycare class, that he had a whole new class of friends he could make and he could play with all of them, he then said this "well i can't because they all speak Spanish or something"...oooooh boy! well not ALL of them do, but a few do and he must get his over exaggeration from me :)</li>
<li>"look mommy they have a race track INSIDE and a one, two, one, two like we have at home!!" (a one, two, one, two is "Hopscotch")</li>
<li>"I like Mrs. Alred, she is nice, she told me i didn't have to fall asleep at Brain Break like you said i did, she said i just needed to rest"</li>
<li>"I got to see HENRY and MiKayla!!!!!!" and then "hey, did you know i have been friends with them since we were in diapers" hahah seriously? what an adult thing to say!</li>
