Yawn...

Don't you wish you could sleep anywhere?



I mean, anywhere!


Just lay down right where you are currently standing and be asleep in three seconds...


Say to yourself "I know I'm in the middle of eating but, gosh I'm tired" and fall asleep midthought...


"This volleyball game is boring. I think I'll lay across someone's lap and go to sleep."



Yeah, that'd be nice. Why is it though that when it is bedtime and they are put into their beds that are actually made and designed for sleeping, suddenly they aren't tired and can't sleep?!

 

Spiderman and Batman vs. Killer Art Clay from Outer Space

November 6, 2009
TRex cracks me up. He's been playing with clay lately. He makes things out of it. He covers his "guys" with it. He is inventive and hilarious.

We watched the Monsters vs. Aliens halloween special on tv a few nights before Halloween. If you saw it then you know it was full of funny "alien" pumpkins. TRex made some of his own.



Apparently, there was a bad guy in our living room who did this to Batman and Spiderman. No worries. They foiled his plan eventually.



What inventive things do your kids do...

Vote For TRex!

November 4, 2009
I have never entered my kids into a contest for their cuteness or anything like that. I think they are great and I'm always super jealous of the people who win but, I've never actually entered one. I'd hate for my unluckiness to rub off on my kids!

BUT, the costume that TRex wore this year for Halloween and this subsequent pic was just way too good to pass up the opportunity to enter him in the first contest that came along. I actually said to hubby "Man, he could have totally won a costume c...

Our Happy Halloween!

November 2, 2009
We had such a good time on Halloween! My brother-in-law had a party at his house where adults and kids alike all had a wonderful time. His wife is such a good hostess and always blows us away with all her homemade goodies. Seriously, I can't believe I forgot to take pics of the desert table. It was quite a spread. Cookies, mini cakes, candied apples, personal pumpkin pie bites. That last one was my undoing. I could have made myself sick off those. I will be getting the recipe and posting befo...

Trick or Treat!

October 30, 2009
T-minus 2 days (or one day depending on if you count the actual day. I never know how you do that.) until the Trick or Treating Extravaganza! We actually have pretty great plans this year to trick or treat with all the nieces and friends and then have a fun party at my brother-in-law's house. We did it last year but, the night was cut short since it was a weekday. This year promises to be fun!

The kids' costumes are pretty much set. TRex is going as Logan from XMen and hubby is anxiously conte...

Memories on the Wall

October 28, 2009
One of my favorite things about our house, aside from the...

hooligans in the kitchen...


and the silliness in the bathtub...


and the kids sleeping in random places at any given time...


is all of our pictures I have all over the place.


I walk around the house and look at them all and remember what was going on when they were taken and cherish each memory. Some are really old and some are more recent. (It's been a while since I rotated so mostly they are getting old!) This wall in the dining room i...

Tuesday's List

October 27, 2009
I've found the blogger that has turned an obsession I love into a wonderful blog carnival! Love From Texas is a super cute blog that I recently found and became instantly addicted to. My closest friends know how insane I am when it comes to making lists. Well, Jessica, the sweet writer of Love From Texas, apparently shares my list insanity! Today is my first time joining in her Tuesday List fun and I'm so excited!



Today's List is all about Halloween!

Not Me Monday

October 26, 2009
This blog carnival was started by MckMama. Check out her blog to see what she and everyone else has NOT been up to.



Snappy and I were not sick all week. Poor Snappy. Poor Mommy. Though, Superman and Superboy (aka, hubby and TRex) seemed immune. Snappy and I are both doing better, she more than me. I'm being a trooper though. No worries people...no oinking around here. Just sinus problems and earaches!

Earlier in the week, after Snappy was done playing with dishes in the bottom cabinets of the ...

Rant

October 23, 2009
So, I ran across a blog today with a post about the Baby Einstein dvd's. This blogger wrote about the AAP recommending zero tv time for kids under 2 and the fact that all people who bought Baby Einstein dvd's in the last five years will be able to get a refund. The blogger seems to be in complete agreement with the AAP and all the denials of the educational value of these dvd's and the horrors of letting a child watch tv.

Poppycock.

Yep, I said it.

I read through the comments on that blog post ...

Show us your life...Fall Decorations!

October 23, 2009
So, my new addiction is a blog called Kelly's Korner Blog. She has amazing recipes, sweet stories, and the cutest little girl ever (next to my Snappy of course!). Show Us Your Life is one of her blog extravaganza ideas and it's so much fun. So, here I go participating...

Fall Decorations!

Well, I haven't been that wonderful with decorating. I did start with the Halloween stuff but, I'm guessing I'm more of a magazine flipping, idea having, window shopping decorator than an actual decorator. I w...

TRex

Big Brother to Snappy. TRex is our 6 year old, super crazy, high energy, sensitive and sweet, unbelievably intuitive, movie quoting, story telling, dinosaur loving, mini-Superman. (and sometimes Spiderman or Hulk or Wolverine or one of many other characters.)


Snappy

Sister to TRex. Snappy is our 3 year old, baby toting, crayon loving, song singing, cuteness connoisseur, giggling, stubborn little Princess. She is both a Daddy's Girl and a Mommy's Girl. And she's figuring out how to twist TRex around her finger.
