Why I am a bad mom and or sometimes wife. . .

Sometimes I feel like I am a bad mom, I work all the time (from home mostly) I am tired all the time and I don't let them watch TV ( I know really good, but Mattie thinks this makes me a not nice mom sometimes) So here is this weeks example:
On Tuesdays the movies theater by our house has free kids movies, we have gone to all of them, but this week, I had an opportunity to have a meeting for work (I don't turn these down, I want my working for home to be easy for everyone involved). So we missed the kids movie. Mattie is smart and she knew it was Tuesday and that there would be kid show. I told her how we had missed it, but that I would take her to see Mamma Mia, she agree, and loved it, she couldn't help but dancing through most of it (and Jake slept through most of it)


So then Dave finally came home (on time like most of the time, but why do some days feel so long?) Dave showed me his finger and said he hurt it at work, it was a little swollen, not bad at all and he could move it, so I told him to take some Advil and help me with Mattie and Jake. So I guess when he got to work on Wednesday it started getting really swollen and black and blue (it was not bruised when i saw the night before) so he went to the ER and it is broken. So I told him just to take Advil when his hand was broken. I am not always a bad mom/wife, but Tuesday wasn't a highlight.

Mamma Mia was great, and we downloaded the soundtrack for my ipod and Mattie is still dancing to it :)

Ice Skating

Mattie has been begging to be able to take Ice Skating Lessons. She used to take them before Jake was born, and we stopped when he was born, plus Mattie fell and didn't want to fall anymore or be cold. Lately, all we hear about is Ice Skating, so finally we let her take some lessons this summer. Last night she got to skate with Cory, Dave's intern from work. Cory got Mattie actually gliding and working on her spins. Here are some pictures for lessons last night --





How could I tell this face that she couldn't take Ice Skating Lessons?

I was able to bring my camera and get shots because Dave broke his hand and came home from work early and was willing to watch Jake, Dave is doing fine, but he needs to find a new doctor for this :(

Silly Jake

I got a new Jeep the other day, so today, Dave brought in the car seats to clean them out and adjust the straps, Jake knew just what to do:


Seal Beach

We went to Seal Beach yesterday. Mattie and yes even Jake felt like being little models.
Mattie is queen of the monkey bars! She can make it all the way across and even stop and pose for a snapshot.Being silly on the seals.Baby Jake climbing all the way to the top!

Disneyland


We went to Disneyland this morning. We ran into Buzz Lightyear, Jake's current hero. He was so excited to see him. All I had with me was my camera phone, so sorry the picture is so poor.

Huntington Library

Today we went to the Huntington Library. It was a sort of fun day, kind of too hot, but not crazy hot, it was just hard with two little ones, why is summer so long? Here are a few pictures, not too many because it was just to hot and hard to manage the camera, the little one and the stroller.

4th of July

We went to the Angels Game Last night with Mama and Papa. Mattie and Jake were both really lucky. We were seated right next to the visiting team pitchers warm up area, and they both were given balls. It was big bang friday, so there were fireworks every time an angel hit a homer, Jake wasn't too sure about this. After the game we stayed for the 4th of July Fireworks.
