Selective Hearing

JT has given new meaning to this term tonight. I was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, and I hear banging coming from the hall. I went to see what it was, and found JT kicking the wall. (my freshly painted wall!) When I asked him why in the world he was doing that he replied... your gonna die when you hear this one.... here it goes... " Dad told me to find something destructive to do." Ha ha ha ha! Of course James said constructive. But that is not what JT heard! Ugh, kids!

Life is never boring!




With Dylan around!!

Yes I am really going to try and keep up with this thing.

I started this blog back in the summer, thinking it would be a fun project. Was I fooling myself into thinking I would have any more free time? NO WAY! With all the kids home, ALL day, I didn't have a free minute to spare. Now that football is over and soccer is coming to an end, I am going to try this one more time. Wish me luck!

I'm BAAAACK!

Brag Alert!

My J.T. made a 100 on his science TAKS test!!!! I am one proud Mama!!! He never ceases to amaze me.

Mommy, I tuck!

Translation: Mommy, I'm stuck! I hear this phrase several times a day. My little guy has the knack for getting stuck in the oddest places. Some times it's his foot, or head, or other various body parts. I just don't know how he does it.

Bribery works...

It really does! JT helped clean Katie's room, he is in the process of putting his and Dylan's laundry away, then he will clean his room and the gameroom. All with a smile on his face!!! Why you ask? Because he is such a great kid? Well, yes he is... but that is not the reason. He needs a new charger for his Nintendo DS. He lost it on our last trip to Carlsbad. It is the same one his grandpa bought on our first trip to Carlsbad back in November. He has whined a little bit about not having it. But he has mostly sucked it up and not said much because he has to purchase a new one himself. Well... back to his sudden generosity. This week at school they will be allowed to to bring various gaming systems. He really, really, really wants to bring his DS. I told him if he did all of these things I would buy him a new one. Now, knowing my son, I never thought in a million years he would clean his and his sister's rooms and put his and ALL of his siblings laundry away. I guess we will be making a trip to Target later this afternoon. What else can I have him do while he is being so helpful??? Hmmm...

UH OH!

Is never a good phrase to hear. Especially when in the car and it follows a big SPLASH sound!!!

Sad Day : (

Today is a sad day for me. You raise your children to be independent. But, it is bittersweet when they actually start to BECOME independent. Katie has a field trip today, to go see a Cinco de Mayo show, at the local performing arts center. Parents were not needed for this field trip, but could come along if we wanted. I always go on all the field trips. Katie informed this morning that she did not want me to go. She wanted to try it by herself this time. I told her that it was ok to want to do things without mommy and daddy around. Of course, I was just crushed... not really, but I was a little sad. My baby girl is growing up!

We have joined the crowd!

We have joined the blogging world! We are like, so cool! James and I have created this blog, so we can share our daily craziness with friends and family. I can't promise how often this will be updated, or how long we will stick with it. But for now.... Welcome to our craziness!!!!
