Never A Dull Moment

So you'd think we have a camera crew on our children 24/7.  The moment you want to tell everyone about how silly your children are of course the only thing you can do is blog! 

I had to leave work early today to get my sick 10 year old.  She's laying on the couch and wants some ice cream.  So, Sade gets home from school and I run to Sonic for everyone.  Me, Sade, Alyx & AJ are in the living room watching whatever we can find on t.v.  Sade's dad calls and is here to pick her up.  She gets up and gets her stuff to leave.  As I hear the garage door open to leave I look over and Alyx holds up Sade's phone.  I said "Oops, how long til you think she comes back?"  Just about then we hear the basement door slam, Sade comes up the stairs and we hear "Urgh!"  I yell out, "Did you forget something?"  She laughs and walks into the living room.  Alyx still holding her phone up I said, "I think you left something Nugget."  She's cracking up laughing and leaves.  As she leaves she wants straight into the door.  Face first.  Classic!

Not two minutes later, Alyx (still laughing on the couch) and I are watching Friends.  A.J. walks into the room and is running in place.  He's 8, he never sits still.  He has on those "swishy" pants that make noise when you walk.  You know the basketball styles ones?  Alyx pipes out, "Stand still your pants are annoying me." I couldn't help but bust out laughing.  A.J. says, "I like these pants and the noises they  make."  HAHA!

A few minutes later we are still watching Friends and I'm cracking up laughing.  Alyx says, "Oh my gosh my calm down."  It was just so funny I couldn't help but laugh.  She leaves the room. I think the noises were just too much for her since she's not feeling well.

So, A.J. sits next to me and he's all snugly.  All of a sudden I smell something.  You know how boys think it is just so darn funny to fart and make noises?  Well, there were no noises and I wasn't going to say anything but it seriously makes me sick and I can't stand it.  So, I look over at A.J. and he smirks.  I said, "If you are going to snuggle with me you can not sh*t your pants."  He started cracking up laughing.  I told him, "I am not playing, that is gross go to the bathroom."  He laughs and gets up and walks off.  Now I have the couch all to myself!

If this is what the weekend has to offer tomorrow can not come fast enough!

Happy Weekend!!

Snow Days

Day two of the "Blizzard of 2011" and I'm stuck home again with the kids.  So, today I told the girls "I think I'm going to get on the treadmill later".  Sade's response, "You think you are or you are?"   Uh?  I think I am?  She got me.  As I thought about it, I decided I might as well go shovel the driveway.  Needless to say that was a bad idea.  I should have stuck to the treadmill.  I made it about 1/4 of the way on my half of the driveway when my neighbor bailed me out with his snow blower.  Thank you retire neighbor.  I continued to shovel the stairs and sidewalk up to my front door and I look up to see the girls laughing at me from the window.  Did not take long until I decided, this looks good enough.   I told Sade to grab her camera and come take a photo of me making a snow angel in the backyard.  Instead she took a video.  On a side note, I would like to thank the companies Northface and Under Armour, because honestly it wasn't that cold. Oh and I had on my husband's work boots...NICE!

Here is the photo of my snow angel.  I have a video I will try to upload, but it's not working.

After affects - When I came inside soaking wet it was pitch black in the basement. I start taking Jeff's boots off and got light headed.  Whew!  Made it upstairs and to the shower and still felt light headed.  Note to self, I should have listened to my husband and let him shovel when he got home.  I was just trying to be nice to my hubby, but next time I'm pretty sure I'll stick to the indoor activities and will never complain about the treadmill again! 

Saturday with kids!

So, the hubs was out of town hunting and I was home with kids.  Kid #1 had a friend spend the night (+1), kid #2 went to stay at a friend's house (-1), and kid #4 had a friend over (+1).  I decided to take them (4 kids -2 teenage girls and 2 boys age 8) to dinner at ChickFila and to a movie.  It was funny, obnoxious, interesting and to say the least I might think twice next time.  Talk about self induced torture.  HAHA!  The teenage girls never stopped talking.  Luckily in the theatre they sat in the "couples" seat far away from me and the 8 year old boys did not sit still, slurped out of their slurpee cups the entire time and kicked the seats in from of them, which had people in them.  Awe...the life of a parent.

Me and Sade at home after the movie!
