Kidbits: Our Life in a Series of Face Book Updates... Part 4

"Got back from the zoo a little bit ago. No one wanted to leave. Jason actually cried when he saw we pulled into the driveway! Lol."

August 8

"Jason had a little something extra with his dinner tonight. For some reason, he ate the nose piece from his glasses. Don't ask me how/what he did. I am still scratching my head. Lucky for him that he didn't choke again!"

August 10

"We opened up Mommy's Hair Salon o' Terror again yesterday and gave the boys hair cuts. Their hair looks great, but jeez you would think we were inflicting great bodily harm while we were doing the cutting!"

August 15

"Today's mother of the year moment: stabbed poor Shawn under his chin with my pinkie nail. Made him cry and bleed. I feel bad. :-( Hoping he forgets by morning. He tends to remember these kinds of things."

August 16

"Much of the day was spent hiding in the linen closet. Yes, all of us. Well, all of us except Isaac. :-) They had a blast! Too funny."

August 17

"Last week I could hardly keep my eyes open at the end of the day. Jason was so tired of me falling asleep on the couch that he took to just pulling me off of it whenever I sat down. When that wouldn't work, he'd settle for hiding my blanket. Shawn would wait for me to pass out and then smack me in the face to wake me up.This week of school is much better than last (so far at least!). I have only napped once!"

August 31

"The comment of the week came from Jason. He was sitting on his naughty chair for being an utter pill (gotta love it when they are cranky with sickness). While there he yelled out, "I QUIT this place!" Sigh. I think I am in trouble."

September 9

"It doesn't matter where Shawn is. If he thinks I have chocolate, he comes running! He is his mother's son, that's for sure. :-)"

September 10

"Yesterday Shawn was building a tower with his blocks. He wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing, so the blocks would often fall as soon as he stacked them. When we told him to "keep an eye on your blocks," he stopped what he was doing, picked up a block, and immediately held it up to his glasses! I nearly lost it laughing. I sometimes forget that they are so literal at this age!"

September 24

"Ordered yet another set of lenses for Shawn...if they ask me one more time if I own a dog, I think I am going to scream. No! I don't own a dog. Just a kid who bites his glasses when he gets mad at me. Sigh."

October 8

"Jason at dinner: "I'm parched! Can I have some water?"I swear I scratch my head at least 50 times a day wondering where they get this stuff!"

October 14

"Shawn after dinner: He looked at me and immediately scrunched his eyes tightly closed. "Moooooommmmmyyyy!" he said. "It's getting dark in here..."

Well open your eyes, baby.

"Oh! There you are! I was scared of the dark!" Such a comedian!"

October 14

"Went to get the boys & found that Shawn was missing a lens in his glasses. Couldn't find it anywhere. No problem. The lenses I had ordered last week were in. We got to the store only to find the lenses were for women's frames. WTF? Have to reorder AGAIN. Finally found the lens we lost in one of my mom's CUPBOARDS under the shelf liner. Shawn tried HARD to hide it!"
