life...

Life seems to happen so fast it makes it difficult to blog regularly.   Heck it makes it difficult to get dressed on a daily basis.   Well I mean I'm clothed of course.  Just not for company beyond a homeless person.

Anyways...

Wed. we took a jot down to Ashland to visit Aunt Sandie and go to Science works.


in the bubble!
That's about as exciting as our Spring Break has gotten.
  The most exciting thing for me though was Monkey 4 sleeping through the night!!!!!!
FINALLY
He'll be two in a couple weeks.  Pathetic. All my kids have been pretty ridiculous, not sleeping throught the night for forever.  A light is now seen at the end of the tunnel and oh does my soul rejoice.  Those who sleep fairly normal or wake up once wouldn't get the magnitude of not sleeping for about 9 yrs straight!!
Anyways, the weaning is now seriously underway...I've kinda lost all sympathy to the screaming ( kinda).  He gets pretty ticked off when I tell him no but it makes it soooo much easier than the hurt tears do.

  On another note: I recently made a  "30 things to do before I'm 30" scrapbook page and once I get my stinking scanner running ( and no it's not rocks or cereal...I don't think) I plan on occasionally sharing scrapbook layouts. 

God Bless,

momism:  if you've ever used the restroom in public or someone elses home and forgotten to shut the door out of habit you are probably a mother.

Because all us moms know that shutting the door won't keep them out!!!

funny boy...

picture from a hike in Jan. 2010


he asks me everyday now:


why do you think they call skyscrapers skyscrapers?

why do you think they call a 2 wheeler a 2 wheeler?
 
why do you think they call oranges oranges?
 

and so on.
anything he can think of. 
and then you answer.
and he tells you if you are wrong or right.
(because he is the authority...
and don't try to argue with him...
trust me.  He'll win)



and the other morning when I woke up the middle 2 monkeys where sitting on the couch having an incredibly heated argument as to whether Santa is magic or not.

Mind you, the fight was not whether he was real, but whether or not he was magic.

Because of course he's real.


God Bless,
Mandy


p.s.  does anyone know what I can give my littlest monkey to make him sleep through the night?
Like sudafed? Vodka?
I'm totally joking.  I was leaning more towards melatonin.  
Kinda...
(and if yours slept through the night at 2 weeks you can stop reading this now because I plain and simple don't like you)     :)
