Hey Mom!

I am now very ripe and ready to roll with the end of this pregnancy! I feel like it has been an eternity of late night potty breaks, heartburn, wild out of control emotions, and patience that have been tested to the limit. I am however sooooo looking forward to meeting my new little one. :)

This story of my life begins with a mid day potty break. My six year old is playing the Wii on my bed. So I am in the bathroom and I hear him giggling. He then shouts "Mom do you know what would be groce?" I am thinking great another random tought out of the mouth of a babe. "What?" He then starts to giggle again, "it would be so groce if you just pooped the baby out in the toilet! "
Now you have to know my six year old stuff like this is everyday at our house. I of course just laughed. He keeps asking how the baby will come out. I keep telling him it's a secret special way, and when he is eighteen I will let his dad tell him!!!

I have a head ache..

My six year old got off the school bus the other day, and he wasn't looking so good. I asked him what was wrong?
he replied,"I have a headache on this side of my head." He was pointing to the right side of his head. Then he went on to say, " I think that the reason I have a head ache on this side of my head is because I need to go to the all day school, so that the other side can get as smart as this side that hurts, then my head wouldn't ache any more! "

The moral of the story people don't quit school after kindergarten or you will have a permanent one sided head ache!

When I get to be a grown up.....

We were sitting at the dinner table tonight, and my six year old is enjoying his breakfast for dinner pancake when he gets this look on his face. I am thinking alright here it comes the wheels are a turning. "Mom when I am a grown up I am going to live alone so I can enjoy my alone time." Apparently he does not get enough alone time between playing his DS and the Wii. My eight year old got this disgusted look on his face and replied,"you will be lonely all the time if you live alone." He just shrigged his shoulders and took another bite of his very delicious pancake! "No I won't I like being alone."

Well it looks like I am raising a hermit!

It's just a little bit.....

My four year old has been potty trained for a year. I know what you are thinking, but he took forever to get the hang of it!
He will be playing, and hold it until he is going to pop! He has at least one accident everyday! I have bald spots from freaking out over this! Every time this happens he will say to me over the top of his glasses " it's okay mom it's just a tiny bit." I am thinking " yeah a tiny bit that requires new under wear and pants!" I think that I am going to teach him how to use the washer to clean his own just a tiny bit accidents! Gotta love him!

I don't want my hair cut!

I asked my sister to cut my boy's hair because I nicked their ears the last time I cut their hair so they won't let me anywhere near them with the clippers! I don't blame them.
My 4 year old went first and he was telling his aunt how good she was at cutting his hair, but not my mom she cut my ear. Nice! Well if they wouldn't move then we would never of had that little problem! Any who, it's my 6 year olds turn and he is no where to be found. Great I have scarred him for life! I call out for him to come get his hair cut and he yells back,"No way! I am never getting my hair cut again! " I was reassuring him that I would not be touching his hair. He was not going for it. So then I use the Santa is watching you trick! I know I am clever. I told him that he wouldn't be earning any gold stars from Santa if he didn't get his hair cut.

He finally comes into the kitchen and tells me "I heard Santa praying to Jesus that I wouldn't be scared to get my hair cut, and I am not scared anymore." I know that Santa is such a good ole' boy!

Grocery shopping with the elves watching....

I had to take my two younger boys to the store with me the other day. I would rather have all my teeth pulled then have to take them, but in this case I didn't have a babysitter so I was on my own to brave the isles of the local grocery store with three kids. Ages 6, 4, and 17 months. Before we ever arrived to our destination the boys had started to bug each other in the car, and my nerves and patience were already out the window by the time we got to the store!

So we get to the parking lot and I turn the car off, look back at the boys who are now having a smacking war. Hurray for me! I love that I have Christmas to hold this over their heads right now. "Boys, did you know that Santa's elves will be hiding in all the shelves in the store watching to see what you do?" They both looked at me then at each other the fighting stopped immediately. I went on to say, " if I were you I would be really good the whole time we are shopping or the elves that hide and spy on you will tell Santa what you did!"

Did I mention that I love this time of year? You have never see two boys be as good as they were the entire shopping trip!
I love you Santa's little helpers!

Veteran's Day

My six year old comes home from school on Wed and tells me that he needs to thank his grandpa's that fought in the wars.
I sadly had to inform him that all his great grandpa's that fought in the wars have died. He got this look on his face like WTH?
He goes on to say, " What? Guess I will have to wait until I die to tell them." Nothing is less then dramatic with my little kindergartner. I told him that he has to be an old man when that happens.
