Wordless Wednesday--Too Many Treats in the Dogs WATER Bowl.

SO WHO DID IT?

[ANSWER: KRISTOPHER]

Wordless Wednesday -- -Some HOT Tots!

(Taking care of kids at home means you HAVE to take them out....RIGHT?)

YES, Plenty of sippy cups full of cold drinks!
(This was after only 15 minutes of running around!!)

Carowinds w/ my boyfriend.

My little Prisspot

Mason teaching Terri to "swim"
(5 inches of water DOES indeed count)

Tisses. cute!

Yep we went to Carowinds with....TRISTAN. ha!

Can I just say that two -2 year olds and a 5 year old (even with 2 grown ups) is WORK!

Military Daycare...is 2 TOO early?

My concept:

IF I can get them to walk together sooner or later it will be beneficial, yes?

sure...

right?

OKAAAY OKAY... its just cute!


Tristan wasn't too keen on the idea. Katherine cuddled him.

My little Cranky Cooker

I left Terri with Katherine tonight when I took Mason to T-ball practice/pictures. No big deal right? Daddys not home from work...so lets leave the baby [asleep] with a sitter.

This somehow turned into a BAD IDEA!!!! I laid Terri down around 5:00 for a nap. Sometimes she sleeps for 30 minutes. Well I left at 5:45. . .

I return at 7:30 to find Terri STILL ASLEEP!!! NOOoooOOOoo

OMyGOSH!

I got her up and well all you parents know how your kids get when they get too much sleep, right?

IMAGINE WORSE!! lol

She not only didn't want to be set down, she also ONLY wanted to be on my right hip (not the left) she also had to be rocked in a 45 degree angle. lol

Oh and I dare NOT stop pacing WHILE rocking. LOL!!!!

I'm laughing now. Last night was a different story. She FINALLY went to sleep at 11:30. ONLY to wake up again at 2:30 A.M. SCREAMING for me. She woke the whole house up. Then she was in FULL PLAY MODE. grrrrr!!!

I got her to go back down at 4 (YES 4 AM) and she was BACK up at 6 A.M.....


I kept her up till 7:00 when Kristopher got here, fed them both and then put them both back down.

I am now sitting here.... ::big sigh::

NO way I'm laying back down. I will feel like crap if I do. Maybe MORE coffee...

Oh wait Mandies bringing TRISTAN OVER TODAY SO I CAN BABYSIT HIM TOO>.....


ahhhh the joy!


TOO BE CONTINUED!!!


**UPDATE on today**

Tristan (my friend Mandies youngest son) is TYPICALLY a very mommy clingy boy. VERY! I keep him on Monday and Wednesday nights while she is in her night classes. (with or without her older two sons as well) Tristan has a thing of crying so hard when she leaves that he stops breathing. ::BIG SIGH:: She doesn't help the situation b/c well, she babies him. lol Her youngest what do you expect?

This morning when she dropped him off I prepared for the worst. With my lack of sleep I don't know how much screaming I can take. Don't get me wrong, Tristan loves me. His mommy is the first to admit that I am the ONLY person that he will kiss. He just kinda looks at her and wait to be kissed. But I get FULL PUCKED BABY LIPS! yay! [I guess I taught him this when he stayed with me for four days...while mommy and daddy slipped off to the beach last year.]

He cried for 2 minutes until she pulled out of the driveway and was an angel the rest of the day.
YAY!

NOW my little butterbean....KRISTOPHER....thats another story. He is the most well behaved child I have ever been around. He isn't the brightest (walking into walls and such) but if you ask him to pick up a toy and put it up he will, or to lay down and take a nap (he'll lay WHERE EVER YOU PUT HIM and not move) he does soooo good for me.

BUT TODAY....he was OBVIOUSLY having a bad day. Wait no. WORSE. A I haven't had any sleep and someone needs to give me a paci and change a diaper and give me 32 scoops of ice cream to keep my happy day. SOO BAD!

At lunch he took his plate in his hand and FRISBEE THREW IT!! OMyGosh no you didn't! Before I could go over and pop his hand (I am friends w/ his mom too) he picked up his sippie cup and chucked it too. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Kristopher I have had no sleep....please be my sweeet lit'l helper PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! "

I simply set him on the ground and told him that he needed to pick up the plate. NOPE! He wasn't having it. He just sat there and looked at me like "ay you ...your the one gettin paid YOU DO IT!"

::BIG SIGH::

His mom tells me that he throws fits all the time and doesn't mind her. I thought she was on something. I'm constantly telling her that either she is picking up the wrong child (HE IS THE ONLY ONE I KEEP) or else he is the next "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"!!!


After they napped (Kristopher on Masons bed and TERRI AND TRISTAN watched a movie in her crib.) I took them all (Mason so kindly assisting)out for a nice long walk and back inside for some dancing time. :-)

Can I just say that I'm soo soo very very glad that todays almost over!

Good NIGHT!

Terri Jade, Tristan, and Kristopher...my 3 stooges!

(I have more pictures I'll post later in the week!)

Moms need a night out too

When good ideas go very wrong!

Scenario:
Two hungry mommies, two hungry babies, no energy to cook, two car seats and the road!

Problem:
Friday night restaurants are always busy, ONE baby missed their nap, oh yeah on FRIDAYS ALL RESTAURANTS ARE BUSY.

Brilliant idea of the night goes tooooooo MANDIE!!

But my stomach was growling and I was NOT complaining....much.

I'm a **BIT** hypoglycemic so if I don't eat I get ill, or sick, or well you get the point. That is one of the effects of my Type 2 Diabetes. Fun Fun I love GESTATION!!! :-) rambling....sorry

So we get to the mexican restaurant and SHOULD'VE JUST PULLED ON OVER TO THE McDONALDS drive around the parking lot for NO LIE 15 minutes.

NOT FUN

Terri got inside and DECIDED SHE WAS READY TO LEAVE RIGHT THEN. [SHE was the napless toddler btw.]

ISSUE SOLVED:
After we got our cheese dip we had NO more problems. Thats my girl go for the cheese. :-)

Mandie and Tristan.

Terri and myself.

Update on Knitting...

Okay so the entusiasom was definietly there....

I got on my 4th or 5th row when my Dear Husband (GRRRRR) ::insert hostility:: come in the room and started to fight with Louie. Louie being my dear sweet little white Lhasa Apso a.k.a mommies protector. So he (Clint) begins to growl at Louie (TRYING to get him to play) and Louie leaps over me toward him and completely pulls the string which pulls alot of my knitting of the needle! GRRRRRR!!! Well I THINK that I fixed it until I got back around again and realized it was a little fumbled up. I figured that I would just go around it and on the next cast off (is that what you call it?) It would be fine. WRONG. It got worse, then Clint started up agian with Lou. AHHHHH Isn't this supposed to be calming? ::sigh::

Today I figured while I was out, I would try to find some plain black yarn and make a scarf instead of my original (stop laughing at me) plan, to make the worlds ugliest blanket. I found (2) white (2 pink) and a big black ball of yarn on sale for 77cents each at Hobby Lobby. To beat that the bamboo needles were on sale for 4.99!!!! WHOO HOOOO!! YAY for sales!

Here are a couple of shots today. Terri would not sit down in the dressing room while Keziah (who was with me again today) tried on some tops. She had to look and play with the ever so calm "Tookie". We only used the stroller at the Khols. Everywhere else today I had my moby and Keziah carried Tookie in the Mei Tai. I DID NOT get any babywearing picutres...I was too lazy to look for the camera! I know...LAZY ME!


Terri and Tristan are....OUT, sleeping like ROCKS SO I need to go read and try to start knitting again. Wish me luck! Terri didn't even look up at me when I walked in her room to take her picture, thats how tired she is.
