Kidbits: Our Life in a Series of Face Book Updates... Part 5

30 Day Challenge #2

Shawn has a bag of magnetic letters he likes to play with. Today he would pull each letter out and talk to it. The conversation went something like this:
S takes the letter out: "Hello R. What are you doing?"
The letter: "I'm going over here!" and he'd shove the letter to the ground.
Isaac and I were rolling watching him say it over and over. I tried to get it on video, but he wouldn't let me. :-(

Tried to give of of the little people nutella instead of peanut butter on his sandwich. Was told it was "ex-cus-ting." i tried to tell him he'd like it, but no. He went on to say he thinks he "prefers" cheese. Yes he used those words. Sigh. Any guesses as to who it was?

Trying to explain Batman to the boys. I sense they are not impressed. In fact, Batman has been tossed to the side so they can pay with the villain gorilla instead.

Jay came up to Isaac earlier and asked him what's the dealio? One of us may have listened to some Pink on the way home from the doctor's appointment today. Cough. Cough. I can't wait until Shawn springs that one on Isaac, too!

We recently got the Beatles songs for kids CD, and they've been listening to it nonstop. Non. Stop. Sigh. Anyway, tonight while Isaac was getting Shawn ready for bed, "All you need is love" was on. Instead of singing the actual words Shawn kept saying "All you need is Mom...all you need is Mom." The boy's got it right, now doesn't he! Lol.

Made a sticker potty chart for the boys. Then I had to go back and make one for Isaac and myself because the boys insisted we get stickers, too. Right now, the big people are the only ones with stickers. Ahem. FYI-For any of you who come to my house, ignore the charts on the wall. It will give you way too much information about us. I'm just sayin'.

Jason came into my room this morning saying, "It's a special delivery, mommy! Happy Valentine's Day!"

He was close... :-) (It was Mother's Day!)

I had to kiss Jason's tongue after he bit it earlier today. Not sure how we got started on the kissing of the owies, but this latest one makes me want to stop it. Ew.

In our house, jelly beans are worth a hundred times more than gold! I can get them to do almost anything with the promise of a jelly bean. Ahhh... Must send Isaac to the store to stock up on more before it's too late!

about the Easter bunny-- Jason: "The rabbit had glasses just like me...but he's a... weird."

Why is it that you boys always seem to want something NOW! at the exact same time? Couldn't we spread the wealth, boys? Shall we work on a schedule? No?

Jack lost his umbilical cord this morning. Ugh. With all of the stuff I've witnessed, the cord wigs me out! Go figure! Happy Birthday to me!

Boys, must we ALWAYS scream/holler/yell/shout about every single thing? You two just need to stop it already. My ears can't take it any more! Is this some sort of freakish 3 year old thing that no one told me about?

Poor Jason face planted on the living room floor and has a big fat lip. Note to self: he doesn't appreciate it when mommy and daddy try to document his injuries in photos. Must remember that. The chaos that ensued after he saw the camera wasn't worth the effort! Bummer.

Cute Baby Saturday

30 Day Challenge #1



Practicing holding his head up with daddy. He's already getting to be so big!

There is something about this playmat. The boys love to come lie on it with Ja.ck. It is very sweet to see!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - All We Need Is Love

"All you need is love..."

Shawn and Jason showing each other a little love. Kissy, kissy everyone!

Let's all just say, "Awwwwww..."

And here is Jackson, showing himself lots of love. He's looking in a mirror. He is his own biggest fan it seems! :-)



Because love is all you need...

Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! Hope your day was as nice as mine! :-)

Cute Baby Saturday

Jason's showing Jack how his playmat works. "Just push here and you get to listen to 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star!'"

Jack and mommy after a bath. "Why do you always do this to me, woman?"

Shawn lying in bed yesterday. Daddy was making him laugh.

Coloring Easter Eggs!

This Easter the boys got the chance to color Easter eggs. They absolutely loved it. They did a really good job with it, too!

Here us Jason dipping his first egg in the pink. I found the tip on a multiples board of putting the eggs inside a whisk to make it easier for the kids to hold. I have to say that it worked really well. There was no dropping the eggs this way.

See that excitement? No, really. He did have fun.

Daddy's showing Shawn what to do with his egg.

It didn't take long for Shawn to become a pro at the whole dying eggs thing.

Jason used all of the colors for his eggs, but his favorite was his first pink egg. He was so proud of that thing!

Our beautiful eggs!

And Shawn's beautiful hand!

They had such a good time that Jason keeps asking when he gets to dye eggs again!



Easter 2011

The Easter bunny dropped a few goodies off for the boys.

Jason got up first and had to check out his Easter surprises. He loved the cars. :-)

Shawn was a bit more interested in the candy in his basket. He is my boy after all.

"Cheese!"

"Hi, mommy!"

Mommy and Jack. Jack's in his "My first Easter" outfit.

We spent a quiet morning at our house and then headed over to grandma's house, where the boys had lots of fun playing with the Easter baskets grandma gave them.

 Again, Jason goes for the car...and Shawn goes for the candy!

After opening their Easter baskets, we ate a yummy dinner before the boys got the chance to color Easter eggs. They LOVED it! (I had enough pictures to make that a post all by itself!)

We even got the chance to take a family picture!

It isn't perfect (Shawn has the habit of saying "Cheese" either two seconds before or two seconds after you take a picture), but I'll take it. You would, too, if you saw the other options. Wait a minute...why don't I just let you see for yourself. :-)

Let me present outtakes from Easter 2011 family photo shoot...

Picture 1 - the adults are focused on the camera. Sadly no one else was.

Shawn's tiring of the photo shoot. Jason is busy watching television. I'm still trying to smile through the chaos. Lol.

Now Shawn is trying to get my attention. He'll just grab my face if I don't respond to him fast enough!

More tears for Shawn. Jason is finally looking at the camera! Yeah!

Daddy is trying to focus Jason on the camera. Shawn is calming down finally. Jack is trying to figure out what he did to wind up with this crazy family. Notice I am still smiling. Hey. That is what I do!

See? That first picture isn't so bad, now is it? :-)
