Dirty Work

Todd and Kylee were having fun toting Kamber 

 around in the Snugglie carrier. 

And Kamber totally let them drag her around like a rag doll.

She looks HUGE in that thing!

I'm thinking they are practicing to carry the new baby 

around for me.

Loving that I can get my big kids to do the dirty work for me! ;) 

Totally loving that they like to!

How do you eat your dinner?

This is how we roll during Spring Break.

2 weeks of it.

First week one was good.

Second week, not so much.

But we're survivor's...I think.

Ask me next week.

Off with Paranoid!

The other morning I had started the dishwasher.

A little while later I heard the dishwasher still running, but I knew the load I had done was already done.

I checked the time and I knew there was no way there was 52 minutes left.

I stopped it and opened it up.

Behold an Ark!

It must have missed being in a flood!

Thanks Todd!

So, ladies here is proof that he does know how to use the dishwasher!

Gotta teach them young!

Animals at the Ball Field

Lookie what I found at Rocky's softball game.

An elephant, a kitty cat, and a tiger.

Todd spent all day working on these masks and

insisted on bringing them to the ball field.

I let him and I think they turned out great.

The kids looked pretty darn cute too!

Yes means No

Apparently, "Go get in the bath tub." really means...

"Drop your drawers in the kitchen".

I suppose it makes their laundry closer to the laundry room.

Less walking up and down the stairs for me.

Time: Bedtime

Me: Todd, why are you laying in the hall? Go back to bed.

Todd: (Creeps back to his room.)

Me: (Lays down next to him.) Why were you laying in the hall?

Todd: I just couldn't get to sleep.

Me: Why not?

Todd: Because I needed one of those eye things.

Me: What eye thing?

Todd: Can I show you?

Me: Sure.

Todd: (Gets up and goes to my room.) This.

Me: Okay

So here's his eye thing he can't sleep without.

Night night!

Baby Rock Star

Kylee loves to jam out to our favorite gal Taylor Swift.

Caught in the act singing, at the top of her lungs:
"I hate that stupid old pick-up truck you never let me drive!"

She loves this song and always asks if we can sing the stupid ole truck song.

It's adorable.

And maybe one day I won't refer to my 4 1/2 year old as my baby.

I'm not there yet.

Reliving his Glory Days

After a horrible day of his mean ole mom making him clean his mess in the playroom, doing his homework, being nice to his sister, not making a mean face when asked to do said items...

eating this nasty dinner.

You would of thought I scooped up poop and said eat up.

It just must have been a horrible day for him cause last night he made his own bed...

in the pack and play.

Complete with a baby beanie.

Being a baby was a piece of cake!

I fed him, clothed him, changed his diapers, kissed him, played with him.

He laughed at me, cooed at me, gave me slobbery open mouthed kisses.

Those sure were the glory days, till I became mean ole mom!

He had such a rough day he just needed to go back when things were good around here.

Poor guy.

Maybe today I'll be nice and I'll pick up his mess, and do his homework and give him candy for dinner.

Do you hear the sarcasm in my voice?!?

Oh to be a kid again!

Death by Hanging

Apparently this bunny was naughty.

When I got up from my Sunday nap I found him hanging from my pot and pan rack.

I totally made a mental note to not get Todd too mad at me.

Last night I told him he needed to head up to bed.

He turned around and said, "Mom! Why do you have to be so mean?"

I better watch out!

I may wake up hanging there with the rabbit.

Interesting...

He did this to himself.

Fast asleep he was.

Whatever works dude!

How many stuffed animals can you hold?

Kylee holds 6 every night.

Plus her big pink blanket.

Every morning I wake up to her on my bedroom floor.

Plus her 6 "comfy" friends.

How bout that?!?!

Big Red

Don't ya know that big red cups are not for drinking?

They are for flamingo cages.

Just ask Todd.

He'll tell ya so.

And this is why I love my camera!

Before we headed home tonight we stopped at our neighborhood Alby's for a fantastic deal on soda.

Those 24 packs make pretty sweet seats for my kids in the cart.

Then we headed home...down the long stretch of road out to BFE, where we live.

Some days I wonder why we chose that since there is really one way in and one way out.

While I was taking my test the kiddos swam and swam at my mom's house.

They were exhausted!

These two cuties CRASHED the minute was left TB.

Can you see the drool on Ky's chin?

She was so out!

And this one whined about being cold.

Good thing we teach our kids about problem solving because he tucked his legs in his shirt and then drifted off to sleep.

While they were visiting the Sand Man I was in a stand still due to an accident.

With the kids asleep and nothing to do...

I whipped out my camera and started to play.

First I'm happy that the kids are asleep.

Then I'm sad that I have no one to talk to.

(Doesn't Kylee look cute all conked out?)

As you can see, I got over it real quick and just started being silly.
Can you see the hangy ball in my throat?!?

GROSS!

Then I got hungry...and thirsty.

It was a drag being stuck, but I manged to enjoy myself.

Maybe a little too much!

Night all!

I'm finally home!

You said cheese!

Me: Hey Todd, say cheese!

Me: Ok, you silly, really this time. Give me a smile.

Todd: Is this good?

Me: You, goof! Really, smile!

Todd: Like this?

Todd: How about this one!

Me: I give up!

New Addition

Who needs another baby anyways!

Apparently we don't cuz today I found this one in the closet.

New Sleeping Arrangements

Before I head to bed I like to give the kids one last kiss.

Last night, I found Kylee's bed empty.

Apparently beds are overrated....

Sleeping behind my treadmill is much better.

Looks comfy huh?

This girl cracks me up everyday with her random thoughts.

Oh to be 4!

My Lovely Lady

I love this girl! She's just the right amount of sugar and spice. Look Miss Sassy Pants eating her morning bagel.

And what about playing in the sand? This girl would stay here all day if I'd let her.

And she's got this sweet silly side. What's with that hat?!? I could not stop laughing.

She loves to get sassy and dirty, silly and sweet. She really is my lovely, lovely lady!

Thanks for putting a smile on my face everyday!

Geez!

Came upstairs to go to bed and found this!

I know I was out super late last night, but ya'll didn't need to pack me up and kick me out.

**I didn't really get kicked out. Todd was "packing" for our trip. Wasn't that nice of him?!? Nice of him to make a mess for me to clean!**

Cowboy Boots and Silly Kids

I was going through my pictures last night and came across these.

Undies, cowboy boots and a goofy backpack.

A sweater in the dead of summer, the same cowboy boots and mom's bag.

These two crack me up!
