SSHHH! sleeping kids

It would drive me nuts to sleep with blankets over my head.

Doesn't everyone sleep with a lightsaver (or is it light saber?)!

I just love going in and checking on my kids when they are sleeping, you just feel their sweet spirits, and it always makes me grateful that God trust me to raise these amazing kids. It also overwhelms me with all i have to teach them and how fast time goes. I love them so much.

It's always fun when I get a chuckle out of how they are sleeping and have to go get Nate so he can see it too!

Leprechaun trap

That darn Leprechaun went to the potty in our house. Kind of freaked Meg out not the best idea for a freshly potty trained kid!

Then he snuck into the kitchen while we were cooking dinner and made our mashed potatoes green

Meg liked the green potatoes!

Emma's class had to make a trap to try and catch a leprechaun with. Hers was a castle, and when he smelt the gold inside he goes in the door, then it springs shut, and he's trapped. We will find out later today if she caught one!

SHE almost caught one but he forgot a gold bubble gum coin as he escaped! He also caused all sorts of havoc around the school putting chairs on desks and moving the classroom around!

This can't be good!

So Nate's little truck was having trouble rolling the window all the way up. So Nate who has always been MY Mr. Fix It made it his Sat. day project. He was done with the hard part and was just making sure the screws were tight and BAM! The glass window shattered and exploded! OOPS a little too tight! I bet now he will be wishing it didn't roll up all the way instead of not having a window at all!

AAAAh the joys of being in law school!

i know kids say the funniest thing especially as they learn to talk 

It always brings a smile to our face when we ask Meg wear Dad's shirt is and she replies DAD's shit?

Friends

Chance made these two brother and sister,

Choice made them friends

                 

I am so grateful for these two kids, they have made it so much fun to be a mother. I am also so grateful for what good friends they are. They never fight Except for who gets to sit shotgun! I love that they are getting older and we are starting to have a friendship, they share their likes and interested. They are also interested in what i like. I look forward to the next 11-14 years of having them at home.

Purple Cow

The kids had early release so we got to have a mini party, until gymnastics and karate started!

I never met a purple cow, I never hope to see one,

but i can tell you anyhow i 'd rather see than be one!

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever had a purple cow or if this is something my family invented when we were growing up. 

I can just picture it...... Us kids wanting root beer floats, there only being grape pop, and my dad's sales pitch to us. Poem and all.

We bought it, and still remember the poem today!

Tie Score

Levi's new trick

So it begins, i have lost my newborn and now have a baby who is learning to roll, laugh, grab at things, talk and all the other fun thing that come with a baby. 

My question is why does he poop so much and i'm about ready to put 2 diapers and those plastic swim things on i mean seriously doesn't he know the diapers are there for a reason. How do they get it to go straight up the back? And i'm convinced he thinks it's funny to aim it down one leg, and see if he can get it on me. He always laughs when i strip him down and have to change his whole outfit.

The truth is i love him and WISH i could just sit and enjoy him all day and never have to cook or clean, wouldn't that be nice!
