Spring Break in Texas

Spring in Texas means one of two things for me...Rodeo Houston and bluebonnet pictures.

Today, we'll be talking about Rodeo.  Bluebonnet pics to come in April.

We took the boys to the Rodeo Carnival yesterday.  I was kind of thinking that it would be hella crowded but it wasn't bad at all.  This was the first year that Jack really got into it and enjoyed a lot of the things we did.  And boy did we do a lot!

The obligatory kids in the Rodeo Clown barrel...


The Petting Zoo...and yes, I stayed outside the pen, that's how I feel about petting zoos.  Yuck!


The boys in a big green tractor (Jack loves this song by Jason Aldean, check it out here)








This boy LOVES the tractors. lol





and Cameros...he thinks these are the coolest cars ever. 




We saw some chickens...and I made Logan do the chicken dance so I could use this to blackmail him later in life.




Jack loved this chicken...the chicken was running back and forth in the pen and Jack was chasing it.




Jack rode his first horse...


And Logan asked me how Cowboys rode horses all the time, cause his crotch hurt after he rode this one. LMAO.


Logan rode his first roller coaster and yes, I was freaking out a little bit inside...even though I rode it with him. 




The boys rode the giant slide...

that's my boys in last place...lol

some bumper cars...all four of us were cracking up laughing during this ride



I'm really bad at taking pics of myself, I think my arms are too short. lol

a few more rides...




And then some ice cream to round out the day.







Phew!  I'm tired again just from going through the pictures!

The boys had soo much fun and Logan kept saying how he was really glad we all got to spend the day together.  He's such a sweetie pie when he wants to be.

And we'll just call this Rodeo week for me, cause I'll be going to see the Black Eyed Peas on Thursday!

Mad Libs

Remember those games from when you were a kid?  You fill out a list of nouns, adjectives, and other things and then you enter the answers into a story and hilarity ensues.  Last night I went to the book store looking for a book and to pick some out for the boys.  I found some Mad Libs that were related to that new movie, about dragons and vikings.  How to Train your Dragon.  Logan is always telling bad jokes (really bad jokes) so I thought he would get a kick out of these.

He was cracking.up.  I don't know that I've ever heard him laugh that hard.  Kids are so easily entertained sometimes. 

So with that in mind I leave you with this...online Mad Libs.

Blokus

We bought this new game last week.  To say I'm addicted is a little bit of an understatement.  It reminds me of Tetris.  I love Tetris.  I used to play Tetris so much that when I would close my eyes I would see little square blocks floating around and try to connect them in my head.  And then comes this...




BTW, that one of the games that I won.  I kick ass.  I'm red.

You start with 21 of those little Tetris type pieces.  You start laying them down in the corner and you have to lay all your pieces out corner to corner.  If you go out and lay all 21 of your pieces you are the master blokus(that's me). 

It's probably not healthy, but I can't stop playing.  The good part is that we can play as a family.  Even Jack likes putting his little pieces on the board.
