Crazy Moms with Crazy Kids

First of all let me just announce that as I was uploading pictures to this post I heard an odd noise coming from the bathroom. Like a cup of water being poured into the bowl. I thought Noah had busted the potty chair out again, which would be annoying. No... MUCH WORSE. I go in there and he has the bowl his popcorn was in sitting atop the toilet seat. He hands it to me and excitedly says "I pee in my bowl!". I can tell he placed the bowl on the floor to pee in it because there are nice little pee puddles everywhere and the hand towel is on the floor, spotted with whatever pee puddles he managed to mop up before I arrived. Why why why. I swear... boys are freakin' insane. It only takes 2 seconds for disastrous things to happen. Yesterday he climbed all over my counters, covered in chalk. He was digging in the snack cupboard and when I got over there he kept yelling at me "NO CANDY, MOMMY!" (that's what he's doing in the pic). I had little black hand prints all over my microwave. Luckily chalk is very washable.

Jamie and her kids Sophia, Sienna, and Jesse came over today! We had so much fun. They were here from like 12 until almost 4. The time flew by. We played outside for a little bit, but it was entirely too hot for all of us. Most of the time the kids just destroyed Noah's room, fought, and told on each other haha :) It was really fun, though! We also had a little snack and then colored for a long time.

I got out my super washable markers and Jamie and I decorated our children with them. They started it! We just made it all more structured ;) It was fun. We are crazy moms... no wonder our kids are crazy lol. This isn't the first time I've done this to Noah either. I equate it to playing dress-up or even face painting. They love it. Sophie wanted to be a cat. Her mom gave her giant lips and I was cracking up every time I looked at her. Noah just kinda looked like a pastel clown. I was busy snapping pictures otherwise I probably would have decorated him more.

The kids decorated themselves a bit as well. I love this pic because it almost looks like Sienna was drunk or something so Noah drew all over her. Sigh... yeah we're weird and we have great fun being proud of it haha :)

haha no otherwise I don't think we would have done it. They're so washable they completely come off just with a baby wipe :)

Looks like a ton 'o fun to me! The markers, not the potty incident. I remember when my son decided to get creative when he had to go potty... I would find little yellow pee puddles everywhere in the bathroom except the toilet. In the tub, the sink, the wastebasket... Fortunately it was only a short phase and he doesn't do that anymore or I'm sure his wife would have said something to me by now...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
