Whatever...

I am the Queen of the dirty look and eye roll. Don't believe me? (insert dirtiest look and eye-roll)
It looks like I will have two little princes vying for my title. Jordan is currently in the lead because this weekend he added WHATEVER to the repertoire!!!

Example:
Mom- Jordan do not stand on the couch
Jordan- WHATEVER.

Dad- Jordan, listen to your Mom.
Jordan- WHATEVER.

The worst part is Blair asked him where he learned that and he said Mommy. And it's probably true. And we might have laughed. We are bad parents.

Another Jordan funny was Saturday we were out shopping and Jordan is doing the play by play and says we walked in rocks. Walks and Rocks rhymes. Dilly Billy rhymes. Daddy Fatty rhymes (OK I am laughing AGAIN as I type this). He cracks me up! Apparently the feeling is mutual because he tells me all the time now "Mommy, you are cracking me up". When I asked him about walks, socks and rocks he told me that 2 words rhyme, not three. DUH!

Last night before FHE he told us "Jordan is 2 syllables". Thank you Brooke! You are a great teacher!

Today...

Today is gone. Today was fun.

Tomorrow is another one.
Every day,
from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.

Ah the wise Dr. Seuss! Today was the first of Jordan's extractions and he did awesome! He is very excited about the Tooth Fairy coming to visit our house tonight! Mommy is not so excited about having to stay up late and try desperately not to wake up Dillon (NOT a night person!) Here's the patient:

For Home Evening tonight we did our family calendar for the month of October. We have lots of fun things coming up. The boys also painted some decorations for the month. Aren't they lovely?

Goodnight...

The picture is grainy but one day I will get a better video of him and the Little Critter book ( a personal favorite). This is what lulls me to sleep each night. My sweet baby is getting so big!

What on Earth?

Did I do to the darn Tooth Fairy? Just call us Snaggletooth Central around these parts!

Dillon was running down the hallway at Grandma's (2 minutes before we left...of course) and fell face first on ceramic tile. The only casualty was his front tooth. Maybe I will call him Chipper. Humor is all I have left at this point.


I also have humor about my own appearance OBVIOUSLY! But I have to document the fact that my boy actually wanted his Mommy tonight. Ahhhh, true love!

Aww!

How is it that our kids somehow know exactly what we need. Yesterday was bad, but today was worse. Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike working? No? Well here's not the place to start!

I just finished tucking in my wonderful little men. We read stories and couldn't find our nightly staple The Going to Bed Book. Jordan and I started the words from memory and Dillon scampers away and shows up with it. He is such a smart little guy! I love him so much. I swear when he starts to talk he will have so much to say. We snuggled, kissed and said goodnight and now I miss them in my arms already.

I love being Jordan and Dillon's mom!

My apologies...

Dear Mother,
I'm sorry that I came into this world as your second child. Like Jordan, Betsy must have tricked you into thinking motherhood was easy. I'm sorry that I would never make eye contact with you or sit and snuggle on your lap. Dillon must be that exact replica of me and I am now sorry.

Dear Nursery Teachers and Parents,
I'm sorry that my child is "that child". You know, the one who hits the other kids and runs away from you the minute you take your eyes of him.

Dear neighbors,
I'm sorry if the noise from my house exceeded that maximum decibel today. It has been a rough day.

Friends,
I'm sorry that my blog post is boring today.

Children,
I'm sorry that I have no patience today.

This pretty much sums up the day!

I am watching my weight!

My Mother-in-law and I joined Weight Watcher's today. Every Saturday from now until I weigh a 2nd grader less I will be at a Weight Watcher's meeting! I am really not good with public humiliation, so I am hoping this kick starts me losing some weight.

So this means when you see me stuffing my face with candy please smack me. That is all!

Maybe counting points will also help me with my awful math skills! The Beast tells me it is hard having to help your kids with their homework. Maybe I can hire Brooke Jenkins to tutor me when the time comes! :) Too bad she wasn't around a few months ago to teach me to tell time! Here's a funny story: I am almost 28 and until earlier this year I could not tell time. Seriously! Being a mother has taught me teaching skills and I finally taught myself with this little trick: Short hand= short word (hour) Long hand= Long word (minute). At least I think that is right..............................

That would be really embarrassing if Blair was lying to me.
