Random Thoughts

It's been a long time since I've posted and I apologize for my absence. Mike has been gone for the past 5 weeks straight and I'm tired. Here are random stories and thoughts.

In the hour following Luke's "bedtime" he made 4 -5 trips to the bathroom to go "pee pee", each time letting a few drops go. ON the last trip, he was standing there, waiting for the pee pee to come out and I'm standing there giving him the "I know you are lying to me about having to pee" look. Then he says, "I love you mommy. Happy Mother's day!" I chuckle and giggle and luke gets away with lying to me about having to pee. I'm a sucker…and he knows it.

Earlier today, I made a quick tip to the store to get some things to cook dinner. I come home to a squatting Gavin saying, "Mommy, it's a buggy" pointing to the tiniest ant. Mike yells from the kitchen, I'm coming to get the buggy. I walk to the kitchen to get dinner going and I hear Mike from the next room, "Gavin, Where's the buggy." (Gavin responds by opening his mouth and points inside) Mike: "Did you eat the buggy?" Gavin: yep

The Boys have decided that being naked is awesome, especially outside.


The socks and shoes totally make this a fashion statement.

I have to say that I'm not really a big fan of the 3 and a half age. Luke is supper sweet and mostly a really good kid, but his whining and temper tantrums are getting old and so is the talking back and "fresh" attitude. I can't wait until school starts. Granted it's only 2 mornings a week, but the thought of being able to grocery shop with just ONE child in tow is like going on
vacation.

Gavin's "terrible twos" are also in full swing. He is testing limits and when he makes up his mind about something, there is not stopping him. I'm pretty sure I look completely ridiculous as I try to wrestle a 30 LB 2-year-old into a shopping cart seat. And I ALWAYS end up with a bruise.

I've decided that etiquette and proper social behavior is at an all-time low and that everyone needs a copy of Emily Post Etiquette, and also refer to it when they do not know how to behave.

That's all for now. Enjoy.
