The never ending creative thoughts of a 10 and 6 year old




This weekend hubby and I went away for some non kid time. In our stead my WONDERFUL Aunt Linda stayed with the crew, my Uncle John joining them late Saturday afternoon as well. They went to Planet Fun with the cousins, ate McDonald's including choices I am to stingy health and price wise to allow (good for them for the treat!), tacos for dinner, church, even the park too! Smart woman to figure out the key to less trouble with 4 kids, keep em movin!
#1 lost a tooth while we were gone and the tooth fairy came leaving a note similar to the last one. This confirmed that his parents couldn't possibly be the tooth fairy:) He went on to contemplated what he would do should he ever win the lottery. In his plan he would get #3 something but he was still trying to determine what he would want. #3 finally decided he wants a skate board and I added why not a entire skate park since he is buying #2 a roller skating rink. This being her new obsession. She still doesn't get that unlike the inflatable ice skating rink you don't buy a roller skating one like that.
He informed Daddy that he would pay off the house and all the bills. This even included paying electric etc which he would have solar panels on the house so it would save money and the environment, lol. Next I would get a minibus. Seriously! He truly meant a small bus not van too! In my state of shock he added that next he would get me a maid, and chef. Alright then, I suppose forgiven since he paid enough attention to me saying I would want a chef. Daddy said he wanted a 4 wheeler too. I am not sure where that all landed in the end.
Another eventful conversation was the sleeping arrangements on Saturday night. Everyone wanted to sleep upstairs so Aunt L suggested the boys take Mommy and Daddy's room. #3 said he wanted to sleep there but if he and #1 did together one of them wouldn't survive. My thoughts exactly! Those boys are HILARIOUS!
#4 seemed to bond well with them, especially Uncle John. She has some special pull to him and Aunt Lisa overall. He taught her to make clicking sounds with her mouth which she repeatedly used to get his attention. She hid her nose from him and happily interacted. #3 loves to wrestle with him a great deal too. Funny non of the Uncle's have made much of a bond with my kids so it is reassuring to see one of them doing this.
Kids minds are so precious, life is so short and I am thankful to capture as much of it as I can!!

Toddler world here we come...

It is funny to me how each and every one of my 4 children have adapted to new skills differently. It is so very true that once you have been through it does not mean you know it all. The older I get the more I realize that having more kids makes you more seasoned with a larger idea book. Eva has put me through no binky which I never really believed was true, and no bottle only milk from Momma EVER. I have been safe from the climbing out of the crib routine though she is 20 months there is still time, LOL. Eva's new skill is opening the fridge. This in itself is not anything magical or over the top. But it is frustrating!! I had to call a service man for this fridge some months ago because it wasn't working correctly only to find out that it was simply condensation freezing over and blocking air flow due to the door being open too much. No suprise there are 6 people here on a daily basis and up to 8 often the large majority children. He showed me how to fix it, spent 5 minut...

Piglet strikes again...

Lately dinner has become a major source of tension in my home. Many of you may know I HATE to cook as it stands so any additional frustration pulls at my temptation to not cook at all. The girls are pretty good about trying foods, eating salad and not complaining too much. The boys on the other hand have really gotten ridiculious. They would not try sloppy joe's, pulled beef which was AMAZING. G even had several helpings, or pork chops, even cheeseburger pasta (mac and cheese with beef). I have always felt that you must eat a few bites of everything and then if you are full or truly not hungry than fine. Fruit or vegetable is available anytime. But when I watch #1 eat 9 pieces of pizza, an adult meal at any fast food joint, or even restuarant I realized that he is playing the system. He has gotten a little better, except for gagging on sweet potatoes which he later was shocked to find out they were a potato and said if he has know that he would have ate them, What??? He does no...

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...
