Mixed Up!

So, again, just writing down things before I forget!

While Connor and Daddy are having a "boys night out", it's just Jake and me in for the evening. So I say, "Jake, ready for your yogurt, buddy?" His reply is, "Nope, no shank you alligador!" (Instead of See you later alligator!) I cracked up...I guess he's getting his little sayings a little mixed up! So cute though.

Controller of the House

So, long time no blog????!!! Yea, yea,yea, I'll give the specifics on another post but for now I'm going to write what is on my mind.
I think I 'm going to use this blog as kind of a journal of sorts...so, if at times it may seem personal or whatever...just skip over and read what you wish! But if I don't start writing things down, I'll forget and then there will be no memories of that particular moment...which is why I'm blogging. Here's how it went down:

Connor: "Can I have a PB sandwich please?" (It's 3:30...but he did
say please!)
Mommy: "I guess so...I mutter to myself, at least it's not candy he's
he's asking for!"
Connor: "Can I eat in on the living room floor so I can watch American
Dragon?"
Mommy: "Ughhh, I guess so." Already regretting my decision!
10-15 minutes elapse....Mom walks into the LR to the smell of a poopy
diaper and crumbs everywhere....
Mommy: "Connor, go get the hand vacuum and clean up your crumbs
please, this is why Mommy should've made you sit at the
table!"
Connor: "well, I didn't do it on purpose, Controller of the House!"
Mommy: "puzzled look and then crack up laughing, "What does THAT
mean?"
Connor: "Well, you are!" Laughing hysterically and happy with
himself for 1) making me laugh and 2) not being in toooo
much trouble!
10 seconds later...music to my ears, the ever-ready hand vac that I
couldn't live without! Man, do I have them trained or what?! Someone's gotta be in control of 2 little guys and 1 big one! So, I dub myself Controller of the House and will wear the crown with pride!

Soooo, this Thursday I am leaving to go with some friends to do a little "scrappin". There will be 4 of us going--should be very fun...love them all dearly but will miss Tracey and Shelly as they will not be able to make the trip. This is only my second year to do this. Made a lot of progress my first year but I am not crafty so this comes very hard for me! Soooo, generally speaking, I'm just gonna load up on great candies, tons of magazines and may not even get one page done but I will have a lot of fun trying! I keep telling Brian I'm not going to leave a list or a schedule for the weekend...but man, do you KNOW how hard that's gonna be???!! They will party hard all weekend, non-stop Wii I'm sure, trash the house, probably live on poptarts (actually, Brian will make sure they eat good) ...but you know what, they will have so much fun without "The Anal Organizer" around and by the time I get home, the house will be "relatively" spotless, floors waxed and Wii remote batteries recharged ready for Mom to take on another week! I'll keep you updated!

Just a Thought

Okay, so before I forget this cute little moment, I at least have to type it in our blog!
So, today, I was putting away our front door Christmas decor...yes, I have no excuses now, even The Epiphany is over! Anyway, the boys and I were outside, it was actually a pretty nice day and not too windy and I was kinda running in and out...the boys playing...rather nicely! So, here's the conversation with Connor and Mommy:

Mommy: "Connor, I'm going to run inside really fast and take this all the way upstairs and I'll be RIGHT back out okay? I need for you to keep your biggest and best eye on Jake okay?" (I mean, our gate was closed, where can an almost 3 and 5 1/2 yr old guy on 30 acres????)
Connor: "Okay Mommy!" Running off...then instantly turning back around saying, "which eye IS that?"
Mommy: With an absoluteness in my voice: "Definitely the right one!"
Connor: "Got it!"

Gotta love that kid! And yes, I did get all the decor down and no kids wandering down to the pond unsupervised! Yea me!

Sadness is setting in!

Okay, so I've been promising to post some new stuff but right now I am too @&!*** upset to do anything! My Sooners are sucking wind right now and I just can't do anything! Sorry, maybe tomorrow. I may still be mourning though...don't count on anything! I will send out a very quick "Happy Who Near!" (More on that in another post---hopefully with a video if I can figure it out!) BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!
