What next

T climbed out of his pack n play and on to my bed yesterday. I may need to buy a crib tent

OH NO

Tonight T accomplished our worst fear.... he scaled a wall!

THIS is where I put him to play so he's safe. If not he's running around opening doors, getting into things, and thinks it's funny to hide from me. He was also crawling over or under a coffee table to get on the fireplace and play.

He likes to do this.....

Obviously the chair was removed, but it's only a matter of time before he makes it over the actual play yard wall which is much shorter and has slats that could help.

Easter Bunny Skeptic

My 5 year old is skeptical! She asked before we saw him if he was real I said of course. She said well I think it's just a dress up cause I saw that man in his mouth last year LOL I had to tell her that since the bunny can't be all over they have pretend ones to do pictures with
My 1 yr old hates him

Fashionista

On Fridays I let R dress herself with out my input........she puts on a cream dress with hearts and the dark ones are brown and there are a dark pink hearts on ot as well. She asked me what tights I said maybe a dark pink to match those hearts... her response was "those are fuschia pink" I'm not sure why she thinks that after all these years of dressing myself I know nothing about matching?!!!!!!! She ended up in that dress with black footless tights, leprechaun socks, brown nike maryjanes, a princess crown, and purple sunglasses it was quite the sight!

obvious fashion skills here!

actually I don't think my style has changed much........ shirt jeans and a ponytail....what does that say for her lol

Baby Gap

isn't healthy for my checkbook

Electric Zebra

practicing for later when it's a bull I suppose.... and he vacuums. that's right ladies send in those proposals early

Ok so the kids and I have been coldish for like a week... We took R to ER sat night because her fever was 102.7 and was crying that her neck hurt when I touched it. They gave motrin and sent us home saying she had a cold. We went to the zoo with our pass on sunday and just hung out. I drank after her and everything since we shared a huge applejuice. I took her to the pedi yesterday and they decide to do a rapid strep... she's positive! I go in that afternoon after nap and so am I!! Darn you Kindergarten germ sharers!!!!! Ry and T are perfectly fine both tested negative. The younger babies don't tend to catch strep as often apparently, and ry avoids drinking after people like the plague.

Is it ok to cry?

over diapers?!!!! I love love LOVE the prefolds I have and a mom on diaper swappers listed 8 in each of the three sizes. 2 moms beat me by mere hours :(
why not buy them? they discontinued quite possibly THE best prefold ever

Totally 'ain't no hollaback girl'

As we're driving home from school she asks me if I would teach her how to type on the computer. She can spell and use one to play games so I said when she could spell more I would. Her reply "I can spell" followed by a list of words that she could spell followed by the phonetic pronunciations. it went something like this ....
I can spell easter, ee-st-r
I can spell bunny, buh-uh-nee
I can spell dog, duh-aw-guh
I can spell ain't no hollaback girl, a-n-tuh nu-o hu-l-r buh-ah-k guh-r-l
I can spell stop, st-aw-puh
I can spell go, guh-o

It took everything I had to not bust out laughing at the seriousness with which she was sounding out these words, and to just drop that song lyric in there like it's an everyday 3 letter kindergarten word about did my mom seriousness in.
For those of you who do not find this to be amusing and instead wonder what kind of mother I must be for her to know such filth.... when my sister lizzie in texas calls it is her ring tone, and my daughter can memorize an entire song in about 5 listens.
lucky us :)

You may be wondering....

what's the purpose of this? to have all our random musings about our children and on occasion us as a whole in one spot with the preposterous idea that some people actually care what goes on in our lives

Have you met our kids?
