"Personally I dont think so"

Thing 2 has a new phobia. Me and the fam went to a pre-thanksgiving party. A group of our friends have this party every year. It is really fun! My poor hubby never gets to go to the real deal because of work. So, this party is really great for him to have a little turkey and yummyness.
A lady at the party made these little black olive penguins with carrots and cream cheese. Thing 2 loved them. He grab a bunch of them and was playing with them. I thought great he will eat something will a little color. I asked him if he was going to eat them. "Personally mom, I don't eat things that are pointy" See the cute little penguin has a tooth pick to hold the body together. I took the tooth pick out and said "look no more pointy!" Well he wouldn't eat it because it lost its little body.
New phobia = no eating pointy food :-)
I have to agree with him on this one though those penguins sure were cute!

Look below and see if my son Thing 1 looks like James Bond..

James Bond

I have the Young James Bond living at my house! I have had several people tell me Thing 1 looks like the New James Bond....What do you think?

Here is Boogy's first hair-do! I know pretty lame :-) but I am really trying. It is really hard to get my fat fingers to work with such cute little hairs. Any advice would be appreciated!
And yes she doesn't have any sheets on her bed for the picture. We had a little accident and they were in the wash :-)

Hair

Today was the day to try to make Boogy's hair look cute. I always see cute little girls with ribbons and bows in their hair. I want to do that for Boogy. My mom never did my hair. It was always cut really short or grown really long with no cute hair style. I think I owned one bow when I was little and I would wear it all of the time.
So anyways I tried a ponytail with a bow. Nothing crazy just something cute that says my mom cares how I look.
Again a disaster! Fighting and wiggling and jumping. I finally got the hair-do done and it looks OK. Not very neat. I ended up grabbing a big lump of hair and putting a rubber band on it and sticking the bow on.
She is beautiful no matter what. I just don't want her to look back and think her mom doesn't care.

Nail polish

So I am not really the most girlie of moms. I don't do my hair really fancy. I don't put on alot of makeup and I really don't wear expensive clothes. I am pretty ordinary. But I thought it would be a good idea to polish my babies nails. I see babies all of the time with cute little red or pink finger nails. So I loaded up the kids went to Target and bought one cute red polish and one cute purple polish. I sat my Boogy on my knee at home and attempted to polish her nails.
WHAT A DISASTER!! She wiggled and yelled and punched. If she knew how to bite she would have don't that to. How do mothers polish their daughters nails. I had polish everywhere. I had it on me and on her, it was on her face and her arms. I don't think I am going to try that again. Or I might wait until she is sleeping.

I do however need to learn how to do her hair. We will see how that goes. :-)

What a Gross Morning!!

So I am sleeping very well this morning. I woke up around 7am and I thought my Boogy was being very, very quiet. But I was enjoying her sleeping in. That doesn't happen, and I wanted to sleep in. I was being a little greedy. Well 7:30 rolls around and I thought I better check on my little princess. She is very reliable with her wake up time and she was now an hour late. This is when the horror happened (Yes she was breathing it wasn't that horrible) I open the door and this awful smell hits me. I approach slowly, very slowly.
Flash back to last night: I thought it would be a good idea to let Boogy sleep in just her diaper. She is always sweaty in the morning. Her room is the hottest room in the house and well I thought she would sleep better in just her diaper.
Flash back to this morning: While I was approaching her crib I see a beautiful little girl covered in POOP! Poop was everywhere. It was in her hair on her blanket and all over her sheets. There was a POOP decoration on the wall. While I was trying to fight the need to throw up. I did admire the art on the wall. She is only 11 months and she did a good job. Oh, it was so gross!! I ran to the tub and started to warm up some water. I scrubbed her down, scrubbed the crib and scrubbed the wall. I washed all her bedding.
Oh, again it was so gross!! And the really bad thing is I remember this happening with Thing 1 and Thing 2 you would think I would have learned my lesson with them. Sleeping in just a diaper isn't a good idea ever!!
All is well and clean now.....

Home body

Thing 2 has decided he doesn't want to go anywhere. He only likes to stay home. He is always trying to get out of Kindergarten (yes,he is only five) He claims he has hiccups,tummy ache, Head ache, and a bad case of ichies. He always says "Mom, I to sick! Personally, I think I need to stay home with you cause I am to sick." I always manage to get him on the bus.

But lately I am having a problem getting him to go to Grandma's house. Grandma does everything right. She makes him pancakes (his favorite) She has a car mat for him to play with. She has a fun back yard, where he can play all day if he wants. She has video games and he gets lots and lots of loves. But he will fight me to go over their and when we are coming home he always says "Mom, Personally I think this will be the last time I go to Grandma's house!" What to do? My little man is becoming a Home body!

Why can't cookie dough be a diet food? Why does eating to much cookie dough always gives me a tummy ache, yet I always eat to much? Why did I buy cookie dough in the first place? Why when I bought the cookie dough I bought the biggest one ever sold at Costco?
Again I ask Why isn't cookie dough a diet food? :-)

Where is my camera?

So I was so excited to be adding pictures to my blog then some thing terrible happen. My camera has gone missing. I love my camera!! I have had this wonderful camera for 3 years and it does a great job. I posted my pictures and then the camera vanished. I am pretty sure I had a future little artist that might have borrowed it. He likes to create some neat looking pictures that I would be happy to post. (but he wont admit to anything) I can't find the darn thing. So until I find my camera I might be in a photo depression for a while. I miss my camera :-(

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun. Thing 1 was superman and Thing 2 was Spiderman. My Little Boogy was a cute little bee. I forgot to bring her wings to the party so she was a cute bee without wings. We went to my half sisters house and the kids trick or treated around her neighborhood. It was so cute Thing 1 said this is the best holiday ever. I think he might say the same thing in December with Christmas.
