My kids rock

Just sayin' watch this video and tell me if you don't agree :) 

Along with that I am grateful for spit up....never thought I'd say that. EVER. But this afternoon Sadie chewed on this lovely piece of junk

and when I went to fish it out she decided to swallow it....

after several minutes of gagging, chocking, crying, screaming, more gagging and blue in the face crying, the hair-tie decided to go all the way down instead of back up... 

JOYOUS. 

I was not happy.

But then a few minutes later she urped (spit-up) and up came the lovely little tie. 

Sadie eats everything and anything. 

Most food dissolves eventually, even paper, but the stuff that doesn't I either find because I notice her chewing or she comes crawling over to me yelling at me. 

If I try to get it out before she is ready she throws a fit. I guess I learned my lesson:

 I will no longer go a day without vacuuming. 

Today so far....(my ranting, I won't be offended if you don't read)

Started off with everyone sleeping later than normal and i got a mini workout in....Then on to our regular grocery shopping trip, where the kids behave exceptionally well, only once did I have to make Cole Buddy Michael Moss sit in he kart for screeching too loudly. 

"Mommy, I don't wan hold yo han, I wan houd Lucy's hand. Lucy I wan to houd your han."  

Had to get a picture because e never wants to hold hands and if we make him he wil only hold mine. 

Then Sadie baby took a nap on the way home and for a while after, I unpacked groceries while other two watched an episode if Wild Krattz. (Pretty neat show) 

Daddy came home for lunch! Love it when he comes. We had Mac n cheese for the first time since we got here (kids were in heaven) devin and I had to hold off on seconds because they ate so much. Sadie even had some, but after cleaning up after her I'd be amazed if anything actually made it to her stomach. 

Daddy went back to work, Sadie crawled around the downstairs for the next 20 mins yelling(the way she does when she is callin for someone) for him, I could almost guarantee it.  

P.s. their relationship is on the mend, her I-need-mommy-every-second-of-the-day phase is THANKFULLY coming to a close. Yesterday Devin walked by Sadie without saying anything to her and she started crying, his response was so cute, "oh, you're crying for me? You want me? I'll pick you up my Sadie babies." Oh man he was on cloud nine :) 

Where was I? Oh yeah, so after he left, I do a super fast pick up around the house since our landlord was coming with the Orkin guy, then the kids and I played until naptime. 

Lucy is hit and miss with naps still, but today was definitely a nap day, she didn't even make it through the songs. Sadie on the other hand is currently madly eating every scrap if paper she can fit in her mouth (I have no idea where it came from). After 45 mins of trying to get her to sleep, each attempt ended with me leaving the room frustrated and her laughing and sucking on the baby doll that Lucy so kindly gave her. 

 I know this face should make me smile, but at the moment it didnt. when she realized I wasn't putting her back to bed, oh boy was she full of smiles, and giggles, and hugs and kisses. 

Yes she gave me all if those while I just about cries I was so mad. 

And she has been trying her darned-est to play with me and get my attention, so now that I've vented and gotten over the whole fiasco I'll relieve you of my boring story, and very bad grammar to enjoy the rest of your day :).

In the words of Bonzi, Shenzi, and Ed,

    "TOODLES!"

Making poodles

The other day an ad came in the mail, it was for some higher end- expensive clothing store. But it had pictures of the models walking poodles, so they kept it and walked around with it for a while, Since then the kids have been talking about poodles and how they want a poodle, they even got to see a real poodle at the park last weekend. 

This morning they were telling me all the animals they want to have and while they were talking about poodles I decided we should just make a poodle for fun. I had some left over stuffing, found an outline of a poodle online printed it off and grabbed the glue. 

Set the kids to work and this is what they created!

I thought it was funny that Cole put SO much fluff on his dog, 

While Lucy was careful to not cover the (way-to-high-on-the-head) eyes and as much of the outline as she could manage. 

Conversations with Cole

How he introduces himself now

"I'm Cole Buddy Michael Moss!"

Those are my glasses, and he didn't looked phased by having them on...I'm blind, beyond blind without those things...Devin and I both wonder if he has my eyes...

We were getting in the car today and his seat was hot. He was turned around with his face very close to his seat, I said, 

"Come on bud, what are you doing?"

"I just blow on my carseat, betaus, it's hot"

Smart kid!!!

Then tonight, in the car, on the way home, Cole was talking to Devin,

"Daddy, I need threeh dollars and fife dollars"

Devin: "Why do you need five dollars Cole?"

Cole: "Betause, I need fife dollars to go see lie-lie's an kanaroos an jaffs at da zoo dad."

Too bad it costs more than five dollars to go to the zoo. He has been asking this a lot lately. Guess it's time for another zoo adventure :)

Love this kid and how much he is starting to have conversations with us.

5 Years! Oh they have been so good :)

Five years ago we exchanged these...
