Just had to institute the "no erasing" rule or we'd sit here doing homework forever. It seems the apples don't fall far from the trees...

January 6
This is what I've been saying for years now!
~~~
The boys' LeapPad Ultras have limited internet access, much (all?) of which is YouTube like videos. They love this feature! Right now, they are watching a video of a little girl explaining how to make strawberry shortcake. Too funny.
~~~
You know what I didn't want to hear just now? I didn't want to hear Jason say, "Mom, my tummy feels a little funny."
Sigh.
Sigh.

Santa brought Jason a Hot wheels car maker. I think he's in his version of heaven right now while he and Isaac make cars. Too funny!
~~~
December 26
Okay look, little boy. When I yell your name and you reply, "What are you do-wang?" You KNOW you are being naughty. Then when I tell you to stop and you say, "Ok I keep it," it does not help things. No, you can't "keep doing it" either. So stop already.
and
Jack throws toys over the baby gate (that blocks the kitchen) when he gets angry at them. I swear it is his version of banishing things to the cornfield. Toys, beware. Do not make him angry... LOL

December 25
Poor Shawn has had better days. I thought he was perking up midday, but he went back to vomiting and being just pitiful looking since then.
Jack manage to escape the house and run across the street before I found him. I think I lost 5 years during those moments. And thanks to mom's neighbor who found him.
Jason is having a pretty great day. He's watching Turbo for the first time!
and...
Jack and Jason are having a fabulous Christmas so far! Poor Shawn is not feeling good and is sleeping. He hasn't had the energy to even unwrap his gifts. Hoping he perks up very soon.
~~~
December 24
Last night Jack was making this horrible hacking sound in his bed. I ran in there thinking he must be choking on something. He laughed and laughed when he saw me. "Don't worry. I okay!"
~~~
December 22
The littlest just spent the last ten minutes repeatedly taking me away from the living room to another part of the house. He'd get so angry each time I'd come back to the living room and would immediately take me out again. All because he wanted to get to a candle and he knew I wouldn't let him get it if I was in the room! The little turkey!!!
~~~
December 21
Jack just brought me a piece of trash, said, "Here you go, miss," and went on his way.
Um...?
~~~
December 17
My mission this vacation is start potty training the littlest. He shocked me this evening by going in and sitting on the potty all by himself. Granted, he was fully clothed, but I was still impressed. I just about fell over when I stripped him and sat him back down. He actually went! Please, oh please, let this mean I will not be banging my head against the wall over the next few weeks.
***edited to add: The potty training was a bust. We all got sick. :(
~~~
December 16
Three coughing, runny nosed boys are in the house. Sigh. At least we should be healed by Christmas.
and...
Jason's opening line this morning: "Mom, imagine if I had a thousand gold teeth. Now that would be something!"
~~~
December 12
Not to be outdone, Shawn just killed sounding out "at" words in the *Nat at Bat" book!
and...
Mind Blown. Jay just read the book *Little Blue Truck* with very little help from me. (I helped with words like "neigh" and "couldn't".) The AR level is 1.5!
Way to go, Jay!!!
~~~
December 8
Him: So does Santa bring you and daddy a present?
Me: He usually brings presents to kids.
Him: But you said he brings presents to people who believe in him. Don't you believe in Santa?!
Me: Um, well...I did say that. Yes, I believe in Santa.
Him: Good. I wonder what Santa's going to bring you?
Me: Sigh. I really have no idea.
~~~
December 6
My boys know all the words to the National Anthem but not a single Christmas song. I must remedy this issue at once!
~~~
December 4
Little one has melted because Isaac went to the store. Trying not to take it personally, but the continually wailed, "I want daddy!" is a little much. Just saying.
~~~
November 24
So...you know your kids have seen Monsters, Inc a few too many times when they throw a dirty sock on you when you walk into a room, and they run around talking about a "2319!"
(A kid's sock on one of the monsters led to the CDA-child detection agency-having to come and destroy the "contamination.")
~~~
November 18
Jack just blew my mind when he finished singing "Royals" after the big boys stopped singing mid song. Lol.
~~~
November 11
Got a nice, solid head butt to the nose yesterday. It is slightly swollen still today. Ouch. Man, it's sore!
Just another entry in the "My kids are trying to kill me" scrapbook. Sigh.
~~~
November 9
Jack tripped over his own feet when he was leaving his room first thing this morning. He still has a mean lump right between his eyes. Poor guy.
~~~
November 1
Parenting fail: Jason's new shoes are 1.5 sizes larger than the ones he was wearing. No wonder he complained they were tight! Poor guy!
and...
Out came tooth #6!!!
~~~
October 19
Poor Shawn. He's feeling so yucky right now, but he's still trying to convince me he feels better. May be a long night if this is any indication.
~~~
October 17
You know, if I'd have been smart, I'd have taken out stock on Advil or Dimetapp before school started. At least then I would be getting something back for all of the money we're spending on medicine this year. Jeez.
~~~
October 16
The boys were asleep approximately 2 seconds after their heads hit their pillows. We have the joy of yet another round of the Sick. I guess the consolation is that this one is fast moving.
~~~
October 11
Apparently we have a case of Kinder love. She likes him. A lot. Worse, I think the boy knows (and enjoys) it. Sigh.
I am not ready for this at all! He's not even 6!
~~~
October 9
Whew. I almost forgot the Tooth Fairy was coming tonight. That would have been a disaster!
~~~
October 3
Called to check on the boys and ask how school went. Shawn said it went well. Jason said he played with Layla at recess. "She's my number one fan!"
Lol
~~~
September 28
We discussed talents this morning. Shawn said his talent was cleaning up his cars. They decided Jack's talent was knocking things down. Jason's talent was building big sky scrapers with his blocks.
"I've got another talent, momma. Want to know what it is?"
Sure, Jay. What is it?
"I'm great at picking my nose!"
So there you have it.
~~~
September 26
Shawn lost his second tooth today!
And by lost, I mean it's really lost. We have no idea where it is! He went to school with it, but came home from school without it. Lol.
~~~
September 25
And on the Tooth Fairy note, Jason has 4 - yes FOUR - loose teeth. That will make 8 teeth for him. Shawn is still working on losing his second tooth. I think Shawn's will come out over the weekend.
Time to stock up on gold coins!
~~~
September 17
The boys missed school yesterday, so they did not get this week's homework packet. They did not get the packet today. Their teacher will be out tomorrow, so they likely won't get it tomorrow either. Surely their teacher won't be so cruel to send home the weekly homework packet on Thursday when it's due on Friday.
I have to admit that this lucky break makes me wildly happy. Ahem.
and...
Dang. Got homework packets today. Bummer.
