Summer or Torture for Moms?!

R asks me every night if she has school tomorrow I want so badly to say YES!! Unfortunately for the chaos that is my house I get 3 more weeks of summer vacation wooooo hoo

Maybe I can put a force field around her so she stops pestering her brother, and I don't have to hear his screeching at her any more? Sounds like a plan to me! Home Depot anyone?

School Shopping

I hate that Babygap's cuteness only goes to a size 5!!! gap kids is not near as cute 

Tornado T

He will not leave things alone! I put my lap top on the shelf behind the coffee table since he kept doing things to it (it was talking to me last week). He climbed over the table gets it and is walking off with it! I of course say no as I'm walking over and he puts it on the table like he didn't do anything! I take it and put it higher.... he falls on the floor screaming like I took something of his away.

no amusing story here just T is a Terror update :)

Don't let his sweet face fool you he climbs right over that gate if so inclined 

and in daddy's shoes ready to go

Go-gurt or crack?

I was dying last weekend so ry was in charge........ 

T was napping so he told R to play in her room while he showered. Usually this goes as planned. Everything seemed fine when he got out. Later he went to dad's night so I made easy cheese quesadillas and grapes and corn for dinner since our personal chef was gone. About 15 minutes into dinner I find 8 (yes 8!)go gurt edges cut off on my floor under a kitchen towel and in the drawer by my kitchenaid kitchen shears. (for some reason the picture is missing 1)

My first thought is who the hell would make such a mess?! I check the fridge to make sure indeed that many go-gurts are missing. My next concern is that my 5 year old used these monster scissors since I know my husband would never dole out 8 things of such sugary junk to one child. 

This is the conversation that follows....

Me: R did you get yourself go-gurt today?

R: yes

Me: How many?

R: only just one for breakfast

Me: only 1? (give the mom look)

R: well actually alot

Me: try 8......

I then explain that even if yogurt is good and healthy one person can not eat 8 of them. It's not healthy to eat too much of anything etc etc

I bathe and tuck the kids in and commence to being a slug on our couch till bed time. About 9pm a door opens with the declaration, and my worst fear, "Mommy I puked!" I put her in the shower and called Ry home cause lets face it people as great of a mom as I'd like to think I am I don't do puke! 

About 4 more times to get all the food out of her belly, and she slept the rest of the night. Bounced off the walls the entire next day. All I could think was GREAT now I have even more wash to do! R did say she is "never going to do that again!" ......... I seem to remember someone who just 2 yrs ago did the same thing with M&Ms
