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

Hair Cuts

Trevor had gone 6 weeks with out his hair cut. It grows as fast and thick as Ryan's does, so he was more than over due. Ari has been asking for an unbelievably short style like a girl in class which is not my taste for my girl. I did let he cut it so it just hits the top of her shoulders. Here are some crappy PDA pics of it all chopped off, and T man styled up by the place. 

Monkey Boy

Well he finally just went for it and climbed out of the crib! (he's done it before when I left blankets by it on the floor) I think he was afraid of the height until now. About 30mins into nap time his lil heiny came running out into the living room and I put him back and he got right out etc every 60 seconds at most the entire 2 hours left of nap time. So I bought a crib tent II only to find someone had returned a used one with holes etc. AND it doesn't fit my crib!!!!! We just got through building a walmart cheap special and putting the crib tent on. I'm so upset I love my crib! I love trevor more though and him with out nap was no fun!

It's a Zoo Here

In keeping with being totally fancy!

We went shopping for a backpack. Last year she chose THE cutest lil corduroy pink w/ hearts bag. It got ruined in about 3 months of use! Jansport got smart this year and their corduroy bag had a sueded bottom. For some reason my daughter and 60 yr old women both seem to think animal print is "stylin" I tried to get her to choose one with polka dots or hearts but this my friends is what we walked out with.......

SO Fancy!

My daughter lives and breathes Fancy Nancy! 

She is all about looking fancy and has been known to pout or cry when she thinks she's not fancy enough. They just released a doll and dress up at Target. I bought her these red ballet slippers like nancy's assuming the ribbons were attached. They velcro on and don't stay up very well since her leg is too skinny. Imagine her disappointment! Luckily I sew and am going to sew some elastic in the top and sew them permanently to the shoe. She is drooling over the dress up dress for this outfit as well. 

other books (we have them all)

The book that started it all
