Monday-Walking to the Bus Stop


Jake takes the bus on Mondays and Wednesdays because Liv goes to preschool and it doesn't start until 830. So, we walk up-I stand on the corner and watch him walk the rest of the way. Liv loves to take her stroller for the walk. I love the pic of the sun coming up and Liv walking with her stroller. So pretty!

Sunday-Betty Homemaker I am...


Though some may disagree...I made the kiddos chocolate chip pancakes and even make orange jello with this ghost tins from the dollar store! (ignore the spillage-I may be Betty Homemaker, but I'm still a spaz :p )


Saturday-And they bowl!




I took the kiddos bowling on Saturday. It was Liv's first time! We had a blast. Liv kept insisting on going up and bowling, and Jake kept attempting to be a Border Collie and was trying to corral Liv, then she hit him, he tattled...Oh it was grand! lol Really, it was fun. We went with my friend Erin and her daughter Sammy.

Another One Bites the Dust

Jake lost another tooth! I think that makes 7 total! Again, we don't have the tooth. Others have been dropped down the sink-this one got lost at school. As Jake put it, "My straw made it fly out like a sling shot!" Apparently he was playing with it with his straw from his juice cup. Poor kid doesn't have much room in his mouth. I'm pretty positive he's destined for braces.

Mmm Mmm Good...

I heard a weird noise and turned to see Liv doing this:


I caught her licking the syrup off the paper plate (yep, breakfast on a paper plate-gotta problem with that?!?!?! lol) She had 2 french toast sticks (thank you Eggos lol) and 1/2 banana. The other half met it's demise on the ground. I swear, I don't know what to do with her. She begs for things then only eats 1/2. I've taken to saving the items and making her eat them later, however, bananas are un-save-able. Can you even imagine that a couple hours later? Blech...

Oh, and the Jake-ism for the day: This is what he said to me in the car tonight: "Mom, I like to smell the air. I think I'm going to be a smell detective" LMAO! Can you imagine? Wonder where he can go to college for that...

So, no picture today...

Ok, so I didn't take any pictures today. None...but if I'd had a camera, this is probably what I would've captured:

AM:
Liv running around with Gumby and Pokey, beating them on the head, screaming YEHAW!
Jake taking 20 minutes to pick out something to wear because I made the mistake of not pulling his clothes for the day.

PM:
Me picking Jake up from school early because I had a dentist appt-where was he instead of recess? In the classroom, missing recess, because he was too busy talking and interrupting the teacher all day.

Getting to the dentist's office-what's first on the agenda before we walk in? Soap in Liv's mouth for giving me a huge amount of attitude on the way to the dentist's office. OR even BETTER...Both kids sit like little Angels UNTIL I lean back and get 2 people over me and am incapacitated, then it was a version of "Kid's Gone Wild" where Liv decided it would be GRAND to run up and down the aisles @ the dr's office, and Jake, oh my sweet little Jake, not to be outdone by Liv, decided that the saddle that is FOR SHOW, in the corner, would be great to sit on. Yep, all the while, I'm waiting for a hole to open up in the floor to swallow me whole. THEN they had the audacity to cry when I said no cookie upon leaving the dr's office.

So, needless to say, when we got home, both kids ate dinner and went straight to their rooms until bedtime.

So, with all the picture choices today, you can see why I was so overwhelmed and couldn't pick just one. Just try visualizing it....

Top 5 Reasons I'm So Cute


1) I look great in pink
2) You couldn't resist my pouty face
3) My sweet little voice
4) I can get away with pigtails
5) Duh...Because I'm cute!

Ok this was from Jake's soccer game the other day. I'm cheating...I didn't take any pics today. But, I had to post this one. Isn't she cute?? Yep, that's how she gets away with everything. She flashes that stinking smile. Everything is better after that smile. Pour water all over the floor? Just give an innocent smile. Used a sharpie all over you clothes? No problem-out come the pearly whites. The "I can get away with anything" smile...Yep. It comes out often in this house. If the smile doesn't work, the whining comes...Oh, the whining. I think my ears have actually bled from it.
