Recent Discoveries

Over the holidays I noticed a few things.

1. Truffle boxes are a combination of delicious chocolates and chocolate covered poisons. I think they throw the coffee ones in there to make the rest taste better by comparison.

2. When golfing, the laws of physics don't apply. I don't know how I can hit a ball only to see it go 90 degrees perpendicular to where I want.

3. Also when golfing, how can the T travel further than the ball?

3.5 How can grass travel further than the ball?

3.5b How can the ball go backwards when golfing?

4. Bubblewrap is often more fun than the present (or Mug) it is protecting.

5. Finlandia makes naturally lactose free cheese!

6. Old people at our gym hate kids.

7. If Eli and Dora Don't get naps, they are grumpy. If they sleep too long they are grumpy. If they sleep just the right amount they are grumpy. BUT if they sleep REALLY long, I am not grumpy.

8. If holding a kid with a dry diaper on your lap, and they pee in the diaper, even though you are not wet, it still feels gross.

9. You can golf in Oregon in the winter, but the course will be covered in half frozen deer poop.

Visitors

My Uncle Leon and Aunt Lorraine came to visit. It was really fun to see them.

The first words out of Eli's mouth were priceless...

"Wow, you have a BIG tummy!"

That is my boy.

I will tell you this. I am super Proud of Eli. He is honest. If Dora is screaming in the other room, you can ask Eli and he says "I pulled her hair cause she won't share!" or he will say why she is crying.

It does not mean he is a happy kid all the time, but at least he is honest... for now.

Eli

He is now using the bathroom like a big boy. Today I thought I would see if he could take a shower.

"Dada I have to go Pee!"

My options were to get him out, dry him off, put him on the toilet... or let him go.

He just went.

"Wow Dada, Peeing in the shower is FUN!"

Yes it is Eli, yes it is. Just don't Tell Momma

Finally fit the truck in the garage

Medical Question

Why is it if you eat beef jerky, then wait for an hour and have a glass of milk with a cookie, that your burps still taste like jerky?

Why not cookies? Those would taste so much better.

I will have to ask my doctor.

Toe problems and gross pics

I had an ingrown toenail that was not getting better. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and was going to get some supplies to do it myself when a buddy at work offered to help. Thank goodness he did.

I tell people that Lidocaine will feel like a bee sting, then things go numb. I am an idiot or a liar. I should tell them it feels like a thousand tiny chainsaws, that way they will be pleasantly surprised.

All Joking aside, it was not that bad, Clint did a great job. I would have had a really hard time doing it myself.

Don't look if you have problems with toenails.

Instructions

1. Numb with a Ring/digit block.

2. Clean and prep as shown below.

3. Elevate the toenail.

4. Cut the bad part out

4. Take pictures of the problem.

5 post it on your blog.

6. limp for the next couple of days.

Eli found out

The first thing the next morning, Eli noticed the tree was gone.

"Where did the tree go? Why is the house here but the tree gone?"

Guess I will have to eat the house next. Good, it has more frosting.

Don't tell my kids

I ate the tree

Naptime mischief

We woke up from our nap to find Eli sitting with a bowl of candy and smiling. I don't know where he got the milk duds!

At least we got naps.

swearing

I was raised not to swear, and I am glad I don't. I have realized however that I still use substitutions. I think the point of not swearing is to not get too angry.

Lately, I have heard Eli say the following:

"Mama, that is a NITWIT!"

"Those shoes are too small Dada. FRICKEN!"

He uses a couple of more 'swears', and only one of them is he using correctly, and it really makes me upset. He screamed "Stupid baby" to Dora when she took his playdough.

I also realize that he YELLS a lot. He must be getting that from me!

Does anyone have anymore suggestions on how to keep from "swearing" around Kids, and not yelling? Keep in mind I am already maxed out on excedrin and motrin.

Hugs and Kisses

Last night Bridget was out for church stuff so I took care of the bath time ritual, and bedtime routine. I also cleaned up the toy room and still have no idea where all these toys came from. We have toys I haven't even seen before! (I have a great mother in law!)

Anyway, I was getting the kids ready for bed and Dora came up and gave me 4 blankets then held her arms up for me to pick her up. She then gave my neck the biggest hug ever! Then Kissed my chin, my nose, my cheeks... like 50 times. And as I put her down she said "nank noo" (thank you) and "laa lou" (love you).

I am not a sappy individual, but that made up for the whole day of crying, screaming, kicking, fighting, slapping, hair pulling (obviously not mine), Ornament destroying, wall coloring, spaghetti staining, gummi fruit in the seat belts, wall cleaning, stinky diapers, sticky floors, ruined upholstery, sticky ipods, lost keys, missing baby Jesus from our nativity, daily headaches... In short that little gesture went so far, I almost cried.

Now if only Eli would show me some lovin'.

Wednesday is raceday!

Fun with hotwheels
