May Day!

Not that I have ever celebrated May Day, I figured might as well throw it out there for those that still do. I guess, once upon a time people actually celebrated what it actually meant. Now all I see is Strike posters. I won't get into politics, obviously, but really?!


Anyways.. I am starting a new cake today. First time making a topsy turvy one. Let's hope it turns out, because it's for someone super special. Her and her family are people that you never, ever want to lose. Thankfully they are family as well. But with this bunch of yahoos, one can be easily cast aside. I treasure my relationships. Especially this family. Great kids. Role model parents. And the babies?! Probably the cutest, besides my own of course.


This weekend will be busy for us. It's the release of The Avengers! Each night this week, we are watching one of the previous movies. Hulk, Ironman.. 1 and 2. Thor. Captain America. Ironman is a favorite in the house. I lean towards Thor.. only because of the Norwegian heritage, but Ironman is a extremely close second. There has  been sound effects galore so far this week. Boogah can mimic the energy growing sound of Ironman quite well. "Hulk SMASH" is a favorite from the wee one.. also.. I think it's just because of the similarity of dinosaur and Hulk roars. I think I need to invest in a Nerf Hammer just to join in the fun. So what if we mix G.I. Joe, Star Wars and Marvel. We're nerdy that way.

As a mother with two boys, technically three, I guess. We are big fans of super heroes. Duh. Isn't that a given? We promised Boogah, the oldest, if he was super well behaved at school we would all go see it in the theater. So what if I bribe a little bit? I'm hoping it creates in him some good work ethic. You work hard, you can have nice things. Easy. We of course are a little tougher than most. It isn't just a stay quiet while Mommy is shopping and I will buy you something. It's do things right, first time, or without being told. Listen, and be polite. All day. All week. I won't allow myself to have spoiled children. I can't stand to see snotty little children with iPhones. Sorry. Maybe I'm old school in that manner.


Also, it's "opening weekend" for Bass fishing! Finally! That's all we seem to be catching is Bass. Good sized, at least. But we aren't a catch and release type of family.. it's disappointing to a certain 6 year old. And a Daddy. Ok, fine. And Mommy too. Bugger, the youngest, doesn't hold interest in fishing yet. He has his little pop up tent, dinosaurs, snacks and sand toys and he is good for a few hours.

Personally, I can barely wait until Friday!
