Last Night Of Metal Mouth-WOO HOO!!

God Love Little Boys

Watching Jake grow is amazing and crazy all at the same time. He's in that age now where everything is a WMD (weapon of mass destruction) At first I was annoyed because he would turn a doll, lego, train tracks, little people, ANYTHING he could get his hands on and make it into a sword. He starts flailing it all around the house, knocking things over, going crazy. I just shake my head and tell him to stop, because let's face it-It can be very annoying! Now he's making machine gun noises with everything. Holy Mary, it's like nails on a chalk board. If I never hear that sound again, I wouldn't be very upset.
BUT THEN...I read an article my mother tagged in one of the many magazines she gave me (maybe Good Housekeeping?) either way, it was an article about the stick. Yep, a plain ol yard stick. It went on to say how wonderful a stick can be. Little boys in particular (not saying girls don't do it, but you kwim) love the stick for its wide variety of imaginative play they can get out of it. It can be a baton, a sword, a magic wand-You name it, the possibilities are endless. I just never thought about it that way.
So, baby boy, the next time we're outside and you pick up a stick (unless there's mass people around LOL) play with it to your heart's content-I can't wait to see what your imagination comes up with next!

Saturday-Liv's TV Stance

This is Olivia's TV watching Stance LOL I *think* she was watching Little Einsteins. Look at how long her hair is getting! I'm terrified to cut it because of the curls, though, even at the top of her head there's still kinky curls so maybe she'll keep it? I don't know...I hope so! I love it =)

Friday-Snowy Pics!

I just thought these pics were cool lol

This Is What I Mean When I Say Jo Will Take Just About Anything...

We'd just made it into the house after picking Jake up (Liv hadn't even taken her jacket off!) when Liv decided to "decorate" Jo Jo with Legos. Poor Jo Jo...She just sits there and takes it..

SAVE ME MOMMY!!!!

When Dogs Attack...

Let me start off by saying, Jo Jo is a pretty mellow dog by trade. She takes so much from both kids (Liv especially-Livvie's taken to pulling her tail since Jo Jo got her hair cut because it's soft lol) I'm pretty sure if you clocked the amount of hours Jo lays around and just sleeps, it's be in the 2os lol. That being said, she's easily wound up. We try and get her moving once a day at least. She likes to get wound up and run laps in the house. If she gets really crazy, we can get her to steal Jake's socks right off his feet, which is quite amusing. Jake used to get pissed when Jo did it, chasing her and yelling. Now he finds it amusing.

Jo Jo going after her prize...

Give me that sock, NOW you little turd, or I'll bite your toes off!

Ahh, my sweet prize-A stinky Jake sock. Life is good...
