The Great Conspiracy

Here's the discussion I'm pretty sure my kids have everyday at nap time through the wall joining their bedrooms:

Cole: So Kendall, which one of us is going to stay awake today and  drive  Mommy crazy?

Kendall:  Well, you've skipped your nap the past 4 afternoons, and then yesterday  we  both stayed up, so I guess it should be my turn today.

Cole:  Great because I'm pretty tuckered out after all those tantrums I had this morning.  Thanks for being so considerate.

Kendall:  No problem big brother.  And Mommy and Daddy think we need to work on   sharing!

Cole:  Yeah, grown-ups ... they have so much to learn.  I hope I don't get dumber when I get older!

Kendall:  Maybe if we let Mommy have a rest one afternoon she'd be more collected ...

BOTH:  HA HA HA HA HA .... not a chance!

She's My Baby

This is what I looked like a year ago.  I can't believe my baby will be 1 on Saturday!  Where did the year go?!

Could You ...?

Today my hubby and I exercised our privilege and right to vote.  We then took the kiddos to Home Depot to look at rugs (I know - we live life on the edge!).  On our drive home we crossed paths with a van for a fire extinguisher business ... the driver was smoking a cigarette out the window.  Now, there is no direct link between smoking and needing a fire extinguisher ... but it struck us as kind of funny.

On that line of thought ...

I just can't bring myself to drink a glass of water while relaxing in the bathtub.  Somehow it just seems the wrong thing to do.  I don' t remember my mom telling me not to drink the bathwater but, it must be back there in my subconscious somewhere.  Of course, I wouldn't be drinking the water I was sitting in ... but its sort of like smoking while delivering fire extinguishers ... odd in its own way. 

She Steals The Covers

Easter Cutie

This is the first Easter with my little girl.  That means getting to doll her all up in a pretty Easter dress. 

Sunday morning I got Kendall all ready for church and then left her for a few minutes to play while I pulled the last few things together before needing to leave the house.  I even took the extra precaution to put a bib on her.  Kendall is teething and when she does she tends to spit up, which I'm well aware of.  So I wasn't that surprised that when I went to scoop her up to get her out the door that she had puke on her bib.  What I wasn't expecting was for it to be on every inch of her bib, have a large puddle on her lap as well as on her sweater (an extra layer of protection) and that she would have chewed on the sleeves of her sweater after she spit up.  Luckily he dress is a dark purple and she cleaned up nicely with some scrubbing.  Crisis averted.  I did have a back up by the way, but it certainly wasn't as cute. 

So the moral of the story is: a) don't get her dressed until the last second you're about to go out the door, and b) you can dress her up, but you need to wipe her down before you take her out.
