Funny Words

Here are a two funny things my 3 yr. old has been heard to say this past week.

"I love Boogers!" we were all flabbergasted until she finished her thought "Especially the ones with lettuce and tomatoes!"

"Karie is my English friend." Karie has the same accent we have, so I'm not quite sure how she earned this title.

We are still working on potty training. I can't wait till she gets it. Until then I will just appreciate when we have more than 24 hours of clean and dry undies.

My little man has discovered his ability to spin and is climbing on everything. Yesterday at the park He climbed all of the way up a play set at the park. When he reached the top he was nearly 3 feet above my head. He looked like he thought he was the bomb. What can I say. he was. Unlike his sister, he loves adventure, he loves the swings and the big twirly slide. Who needs those ninny slides that are only 4 or 5 feet. He is quite adventuresome.

My Sr. in High school seems to be enjoying school this year, he is excited about one of his classes and finding it to be a challenge. He is getting to create a civilization from scratch, thus coming up with rules of trade, laws, and everything that comes with creating a civilization. He started on the project early thinking he had a great idea(which he did) and discovered the group he is working with have a lot of different ideas. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Our Middle Schooler is doing alright in school, he isn't so excited about it. I'm not sure if it is the influence of friends or just a tough year. I am having a difficult time because he has reached the stage where "he does no wrong" and "I am constantly making things up to make him miserable". I figure if I am the worst thing that happens to him this year, life should be pretty good.

That is our house hold for the moment. Hope yours is good and well.

Potty Training Update...

Doododoodo.dodooodo.Doodoot!

Radio announcers voice:
This just in! We have made it just over 40 hours with out any accidents, so there is improvement. It is possible that the next update will be a longer time span. Translation, there is hope for us, We will be down to changing only one child instead of two! That and some sanity time. Just an update for any one who cares.

Hope you all have a day as good as that! If not, well, then better by golly-G.

Note to reader. Just before this update is when the record was broke by a hiding child found with stinky pants. I will say however I am proud of the youngling for holding up so long, 40 hours is a miracle noticed! Yay for improvement!

Back to School

Well, school has began for the two boys, and my husband is back to his office hours. That leaves me with the two little ones. I am both excited, and no so much. The Two little ones are handling the first day good so far. We will see how it goes. It will be nice to have a schedule again.

Potty training is getting a bit better, we have gone from 6-8 pairs of panties a day to 2-3! Yay! With only one night of wet sheets in the past couple of weeks I am considering myself quite lucky! We are doing M and M's, seems to be doing the trick this time.

The women's group I am apart of is starting a walking program this week, I am excited about it, It will be great to have some other ladies to walk with! and children for mine to play with. I have to say, I love this church! It is so well rounded! Heavenly Father really is aware of our every need.

That is what is going on today. I hope you all have a great day yourselves!

Moment of Truth on my Moment of Truth

Well, my ambition lasted all of two weeks. My shoulders are slumped in shame. (As I finish the last peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie...finger lick'n good.) Okay, I am renewing my vigor to eat right and feel good, starting up again today...this very moment. Here goes.

Mom 101

Not seriously, but let me tell you. having two little ones with minds of their own and them all to myself with daddy away...*sigh*, I can hardly wait for his return!

Honestly the feelings today were something to experience: "What, another plate of food on the floor?!" "It's no wonder you are hungry, you your food is all on the floor rather than in your stomach." "Why are you pouring milk on the floor like that? cows don't grow out of the floor boards." "No, spaghetti sauce is not the new rave in the lotion department, why is it all over your arms and legs like that?" "Princesses do not flick their food all over the kitchen like that!" "You know, you were in front of the toilet...why is there a puddle under you? You can't pee like your brothers." "The trash stays in the trash can, we don't need this kind of remodeling done." "You didn't need help making the mess...." *sigh* oh, I could go on. I feel like I have got nothing accomplished to day. Only ranting and raving.
