Clambake!

After Rob played outside with the kids, they came in and watched a show in our bed. Pretty soon we won't all fit!

Happy thoughts

I started the year off saying I'd talk about what makes me happy, but I feel like this is where I can really vent. I try not to be negative on Facebook cuz I see SO MUCH negative and it irritates me. So a happy thought is I ate 3 Swiss cake rolls today. Jennifer made me.
Now to vent. Some people have a lot of nerve. First, I and my whole family were deleted from someone's Facebook. Then today I received an invitation to a shower for said person. Really? So you were mad enough to delete us all from fb but I'm still good enough to buy you a gift? DOUBT IT!!

This boy

Kendall has always played by the rules for the most part. A crayon is for coloring on paper. Don't get me wrong, she can pretend with any object you give her. But when whip out some dollar store treasure with markers, she means bizznass. The brother? Faaareak! Why color the paper when it looks oh so nice on these here hands? Or how about I throw them on the ground and laugh hysterically when the cat chases them. Maybe as he gets older he'll play by some rules. But then again, it could be fun to see what he does next...

GIRL TIME

I had such a great morning with Kendall today. Usually she is a teenager when it comes to waking up. That girl LOVES her sleep, just like mom. Today though, she woke up early and ran into my bed. Rob and Brenym were already gone so she was so happy that she could lie there for a few minutes. I opened my eyes and she was staring right at me, smiling. I said "whatcha thinkin about?" She responded, "thinking about what cute shirt I'm gonna wear today." Wait a minute, are you sure you're six? That is what I think about every morning after the alarm goes off five times. Then I just started tickling her and hearing her laugh in the morning instead of whining that she doesn't want to get up was music to this mom's ears.

Can I get a nap?

This pregnancy is just like my other two in that I AM TIRED. Like, sleep 11 hours at night and still could use a nap tired. A girl I work with explained it like taking NyQuil and trying to stay awake. They say at this point the baby is the size of a lentil bean so how can it make a person so tired? Thankfully Rob is very understanding and has let me go to bed early and take naps :) one of the many reasons he is awesome.
Kendall is insistent that the baby is a girl and we need to name her LuLubaby. Pretty sure that's not gonna happen.

Mike Tyson and a rant

So my toothless wonder bit someone. I'm happy she stuck up for herself, but I had to chat with her about good choices and biting? Not a good choice. She was also remorseful about it, so that made me a bit happy. A girl on the bus was poking at her, Kendall asked her to stop, she didn't, so Kendall thought it a good idea to bite her ear. I can just imagine her nibbling with her absent front teeth. So I felt good about our talk and that she will talk to an adult if she is picked on again.
Onto the rant....
Coparenting? Not so awesome when not on the same page. I tell Kendall to talk to an adult if someone his hitting or picking on her. Her dad tells her to hit back. NOT COOL!!! It's like my whole conversation with her went right down the drain!!!! I told her daddy was being silly and in this house, we do not hit or there are consequences. She said I know mommy. I sure hope she does. Conflicting "rules" for my poor six year old :(
