Tell me I'm NOT the only one!

Notice Logans Shoes? Well I give up, he likes them that way!


Here are my Beautiful babes, at Pechenga awaiting Hairspray the Musical. The evening started off great, with a yummy dinner and lots of excitment. It ended 45 min into the show, with "I'm tired, I wanna go home." 2 kids crying, a frustraited daddy, and sad mommy.. What We saw of the show was amazing. I hope to see all of it one day.. Lesson of the day: EVEN IF the little ones get a good nap, An 8pm show is just not a good idea.. SO I'M SORRY TO THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE SITTING NEAR US".. I really did Mean well!

"MOM, DON'T COME IN HERE"

FYI, when your 4 year old yells from the bathroom " MOM, DON'T COME IN HERE!" ALWAYS do!
I noticed the bathroom light was on and Logan was no where in site, I start walking toward the bathroom and I hear... " MOM don't come in here", I walk into the bathroom and find, Logan Standing near the toilet buck naked, holding Morgans toothbrush, with a full toilet. First thing out of his mouth is "I didn't do anything." I never got an answer other then I didn't do anything so I really have NO idea what he did, I just know it does not "smell" good.. So We threw Morgan tooth brush away, and I'm starting to think the poor girl needs her own bathroom!

Crickets Anyone??

Ya for spring!! Right? WRONG! I only say wrong because I'm FREEZING, yes FREEZING, here we are in almost in the middle of April, I swear last year it already felt like summer. Now it feels a lot more like winter, We've even got a fire going in the fire place, and I'm wearing socks..
The kids were off all last week for spring break, it pretty much stunk, poor Logan was sick all but one day. I felt so bad, not knowing he was sick, the boy really does not complain. he was fine all day, played with friends and ate like a horse, next thing I know he's laying on the couch, cheeks bright red, and just in a daze. I take his temp and BOOM 103 and Vomiting So here I am washing sheets, Jammie's, and floors. The only good thing about him being sick, (I know, I know, how can I say there is a "good thing" about him being sick) but he wants to snuggle ALL day, and he is just so cuddly. No I don't like him being sick, but I am trying to be positive.
So the one day he was better we hit the road to the Wild Animal park with some good friends, it was a great day, just a bit crowded. First thing we decided to see was the Butterfly display, they only come once a year, and it is really beautiful. The line was about 45 minutes long, so we ate lunch and chatted while we waited. A few of the workers were walking around in Butterfly costumes handing out MEAL WORMS to taste.. yes you heard me correctly, TOO TASTE. At first I thought it was a joke just to see who would do it, but they were serious! and my Morgan and Logan wanted to try it. ahhhhhhhh Well if They could do it.... So could I, OMG my friend and I had them in our mouths, luckily they were cooked and seasoned, honestly they did not taste "bad" kind of like Doritos, however the after taste, not so good.. Morgan however really liked them and kept asking for more. So after the tour, My friend went back to get her stroller and came back with CRICKETS! cooked and seasoned CRICKETS!... I refused to put one in my mouth, but of course Morgan was all for it. I seriously thought Logan would have been the one to put it in his mouth but NO, not even Logan would do it. The funny part was when Morgan was taking off its legs and sharing them with her friends, or saying " mommy look, I'm eating the butt.. AHHHH EWE GROSS, but the worst part was after she ate it and was talking, you could see little cricket bits all over her tongue. We found out there is a store near by that sells them cooked and flavored, She keeps asking me to buy them for her.. After we came home from the park, both kids went outside to see if they could find crickets for me to cook.. At least I have comfort knowing that if they are ever lost in a jungle, they will be just fine, just as long as there are crickets and meal worms around.C

Sorry, Mom's on stirke, go see your dad!

Have you ever had one of those days where NO one listens to you, not even the dogs, Or when you feel totally unappreciated, and taken advantage of or just plain disrespected? Well that's how my day was yesterday, I finally got so mad that I went on strike. I did NOTHING but sit in the other room and read my book. I did not finish folding laundry, and I DID NOT cook dinner. I let everyone know they could fend for themselves, and they did. When the kids had a problem, I made them go to their dad. I kind of think that I got my point across but only time will tell.

I FARTED IN THE BATHTUB

Ya for 4's!! Really? The Jury is still out on that one. At the moment I'm thinking more on the lines of "ferocious 4's" but I still have 360 days to decide. Between both kids fighting up a storm, I mean FIGHTING! Not yelling, not whining but getting physical, "she hit me", "he hit me", "she started it", blah blah blah...Both kids ended up in time out, Morgan in her room, Logan in the living room, and me? HA, I basically hid in the closet.. alright no I didn't, I just curled up in a ball and rocked back and forth. OK, I didn't do that either, but if you were in my house today you would not have blamed me if I did.
Now its 730 at night, YA its almost bedtime, Morgan had a bath, and complained that there were too many bubbles. Who is this child? There are never too many bubbles! Joe and I were sitting here enjoying a nice conversation while Logan played in the bathtub. Then BOOM we're interrupted by Logan yelling, "I FARTED IN THE BATHTUB"

Havin a ball!

So my blogging usually seems to be all about Logan, only because he gives me the most grief.. I mean Joy, I mean Stuff to talk about.... So its only fair to get my little Miss Morgan in on the fun. Oh she does keep me on my toes, but she is also very easy going, and caring. She is the most sensitive, caring child I know, I love the fact that she is so empathetic to everyone. She makes me so proud that she wants to help everyone, and I love that we show her how wonderful caring and helping others really is.
Now for the fun part... So Friday evening the kids were in the back yard playing in the trampoline, Joe just finished putting up the new net. THANK GOD, because this could have been bad, I just bought both kids new balls, they were having a "ball" jumping and watching the balls bounce around... Joe and I were sitting in the house watching the kids through the window, Logan was throwing the ball around and it ACCIDENTALLY hit Morgan in the face, it was a soft ball, but it really pissed her off, all off a sudden she chucked a fast ball right at his forehead. Logan went down, and I'm sorry to say We were cracking up... Does that make us bad parents? ok there was no blood, and no tears so I stand by our laughter!
