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...

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
