This box is nearing the end of it's life. . .I'm not quite sure what we're gonna do when it's gone. Lol

Dear Korvin,
Please stop unlocking all the doors. You're going to let the zombies in.
Love, Mommy

Well, it's no box. lol

There should be a space in the baby book for Baby's 1st "No thank you!" Just sayin'.

The word of the day is "sassafras."

I generally leave her style choices alone, as long as she dresses appropriately for weather. (She can't wear tank tops when it's close to freezing etc.) She got herself completely dressed before I woke up this morning. Didn't have to change a thing. She explained to me that she put a long sleeved shirt on under the short sleeved shirt she wanted to wear, and put leggings on under her skirt so I didn't have to tell her to.

Korvin has been very apologetic since he woke up. After he kept telling me "sowwy" for no reason while we went down the stairs, I said "Hey, next time you decide to take a 3 1/2 hour nap, would you tell me first so I can take one too?" He said "Ok! Ok! Sowwy 'gin."

Then he screamed at me because he didn't get something he wanted, so I put him in time out, and told him he wasn't allowed to scream at me. He cried for about 2 seconds, stopped, seemed to be thinking a few more seconds, and then said "Ok. Sowwy!"

Oooooookay. . .

2 hours of water aerobics today. . .I skinny wrapped my thighs after I showered when I got home so they won't look so scary anymore. You're welcome, world. lol Korvin woke up and was whining. I was gonna go sneak into his room and find his binky for him, but you can't really sneak when your legs are like this. Hahaha. . .thankfully, he found it himself and went back to sleep.

There is some real quality time going on here.
 

Korvin: Jacket.
Me: Ok, you can wear my jacket.
Korvin: Outside!
Me: No, we're not going outside.
Korvin (nodding very earnestly, like I just didn't understand): Yes! Outside. Jacket.

Oh, well in that case. . .sure, let's go outside when it's freezing in just our pajamas and a light jacket. I really need to remember that he doesn't understand sarcasm. lol

He likes makeup, but just to make his hair look just right.

I told them to clean up. . .so they filled the shopping cart with toys, and used that to carry them all where they were supposed to go. Beats running around all over the place back and forth.

I've always wanted to be woken up and questioned at my front door by two sheriffs deputies at 1am. . .oh wait, no I haven't.

They were investigating what appears to be a prank call. Upside, I apparently look too young to have a 13 year old anyway.

I'm grateful for them doing their job, but Korvin had already been up twice, and started crying for a 3rd time after they left. Which brings me to a new goal for the year: make enough money to hire a night nanny. Lol

Watching the rain. In their box.

Kadence to Korvin: "Mommy would tell you to be quiet, because she's not feeling well. Now go play, or watch the rain." Hahahaha Well, she's not wrong.

She found a dandelion on the way home from school. She said "I wish for some organic chocolate ice cream." Then she blew the dandelion. . .and then asked me "Will my wish come true?" Nice try kid. ;)

Patrick: Say "pretty."
Korvin: "Piddy."
Patrick: Say "mama."
Korvin: Mama.
Patrick: Say "pretty mama."
Korvin: Stinky butt.

My little executive. . .he decided he wanted to be like mommy, and run his own business. So he borrowed daddy's iPhone and iPad, and got busy.

Batdaddy and Batbaby were brushing their teeth together this morning before we went out shopping. Kadence got a balloon at "Old Natie's." She named it Alexandra. (When Alexandra popped, there were many hysterical tears.) Over lunch, Korvin decided for once that he needed to use a fork instead of his hands. Not only did he need to use a fork, he needed two of them. He's apparently making up for lost time. . .but it's ok because his pinkie is out, so he's being proper about it. :)

This is how we take our Greens around here. . .cause we're cool like that. ;) It's  38 herbs and "superfoods" that give you the equivalent of 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables. . .which is awesome, since Kadence and Patrick don't eat vegetables.

Outlet protectors would be more useful if Korvin didn't just walk over and pull them out. My whole house is going end up being Korvin-proofed in duct tape.

The GelPro mat Sandra got me for Christmas has apparently now become the "snack waiting area."

Kadence: My gum hurts! (She scraped it.)
Patrick: Well, there's not much we can do about that.
Kadence: We can put coconut oil on it!
Well, I DO use it for everything. . . ;)

Patrick: I'm a rather boring individual.
Korvin: MMMMM-hmmmmm!

Kadence: When's the sun coming out?
Patrick: I don't know. That's not something we can always predict.
Kadence: Because we're not God.
Us: Yes. (involuntary giggles)
Kadence: That's not funny!
Us: (more involuntary giggles)
Kadence: Stop laughing!
Then she started laughing.

All of this was within a 10 minute period. ;)

Um, I don't remember ordering any fragile broken glass. . .and can it really be considered fragile if it's already broken? Funny thing is, there was no glass in this package, broken or otherwise. lol

Kadence was singing the same line of a song over and over and over, so I told her that was enough, and to please stop. Korvin started clapping and said "Yay! Thank you!" It wasn't clear if he was applauding her performance, or the cessation of the performance.

Fish and chips for dinner. ;)

What was on the agenda for today:
Patrick: Sleep.
Kadence: School.
Korvin: Move outside permanently, and vehemently enforce a no nap policy.
Rachael: Survive Korvin's agenda.

He eventually took a very short nap. . .but it was a very long day. lol

Goals help give you purpose. These are my goals right now. However, I had a little person helping me here (he erased my first list.) It resulted in my father pointing out that I was one f short of paying off my car. lol...which brought me to a new goal: learn how to spell. ;)

Korvin kept insisting he was "ungy" while refusing everything I offered him. So I did what I usually do when he can't communicate what he wants. . .opened the fridge, and asked him what he wanted. He walked away with both hands full of organic baby lettuce. Silly me. . .baby lettuce is for the baby. . .why didn't I think of that? lol

Miss Elaina showed Kadence how to crochet a chain today. It's what good potential mothers in law do. . .;)

Kadence and Korvin's cousin/godbrother came to see them.

Kadence kept telling Liam that everything was going to be ok, because his sister was there. She cuddled him, and cooed over him, and kept calling him a her...and she even covered his mouth for him when he sneezed. lol

Korvin has change his mind about Liam since their last meeting. He has decided that he loves that baby after all. He helped give him a bottle, and burp him, and give him his binky (which he was eyeing for himself, but realized that it wasn't his, and the baby needed it for himself.) He kept telling him "Love you!" (The "L" is silent though.) ;) 

Korvin showed Jake his Leapster. Jake showed Korvin his game boy. Korvin said "Cold!" He meant cool. Lol

Korvin ran across the room, stopped, popped a deep squat, and made farting sounds. Then he ran off and continued playing. It wasn't as funny the second time on video, but I'm still amused. ;)

  My silly little munchkins. ♥

Korvin: Ungy!
Me: You're hungry!
Korvin: Yeah!
Me: What do you want?
Korvin: Shrek!
Me: You already had your Shrek juice.
Korvin: Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!

What can I say. . .the kid really loves his Greens. Lol

Kadence has informed me that she knows lots of things. . .she just can't remember them all. Hahahahaha. . .yeah, I feel ya kid.

Korvin has a diaper rash. Patrick forgot to put cream on it. Korvin was came up to me grabbing his butt, and fussing while saying "It broken! It broken!" Poor kid.

Poor baby. This is how I feel when I wake up before I'm ready to as well, so I totally get how you're feeling.

Korvin kept trying to get something he wasn't supposed to have, and I kept stopping him, which made him angry.
 

Korvin: Gop it!
Me: No. You stop it.
Korvin: Gop it!!!
Me: You stop it.
Korvin: Kick 'o butt!!

Yeah. My 19 month old just threatened to kick my butt. I'd attempt to figure out where he learned that, but I'm pretty no one is going to confess.

Bedtime is nigh. . .Korvin tried to go to bed several hours ago, and it doesn't seem fair that he actually had to wait for bedtime to go to sleep, and daddy didn't.

He was trying to be King Candy. Really.

Patrick: I love you!
Korvin: I know.
Me: Korvin, I love you!
Korvin: Mommy! 'ove you! 'ove you!

Patrick is insulted. Hahaha

Patrick was playing Batman on the Xbox. He paused it to go take care of something. Korvin settled in, turned it back on, and started playing it himself.

Here girl, let me help you. You seem like you need a strong man-baby to fix that. - What seemed to be going on in Korvin's mind while he played with M.

When they left, he waved and said "Bye girl!" They kissed before she left, and then they both made the eeewww face. lol

Jupiter was right next to the moon tonight. You can't see it in the picture because it's too small for the camera to pick up. :) It's supposed to be another 20 years before Jupiter is this close again, so I hope you looked while you could, cause this picture isn't showing you anything. Hahaha

This kid will probably never get a haircut, because his hair provides far too much amusement for me.

Cute little baby legs. We've missed them over the winter. :)
Today, he wanted his clothes off, so I figured why not cause it was warm. Then he ran off, and peed behind the table. He whined until I noticed, and then ran off to the bathroom yelling for a bubble bath. I think he did it on purpose. . .

Kadence's Leapster was on the counter. Korvin wanted it. I walked out of the laundry room to see him on the other side of the counter much taller than he should be.

For the record, when he's doing something dangerous, I always make sure he's safe, and that I can catch him if he slips before I stop to take a picture. That's why there are only a few pictures like this. :)

 Had a good day at the strip club. . .good thing I used all those skinny wraps. . .lol

Ok, really it was from the My Consign sale today. :)

Now this is how you layer. ;) She put on the leggings and the tank top dress, and I told her it was too cold for her to not be wearing sleeves. I handed her the shirt, but she didn't want to take the dress off, so the shirt went on over the dress.

I love the way my house looks when it snows. :)

Me: Do you want to be Superman, or Batman?
Korvin: Batman.
Me: Do you even like Superman?
Korvin: Uhhhhh, Batman.
Me: Do you even like any of the other Superheros?
Korvin: Batman.

That one is Patrick's kid.

Me: What are you doing?
Kadence: Nothing.
Me: Why don't I believe you?
Kadence: Well. . .Korvin is trying to unlock the bathroom door. I was just helping him.

Uh-huh. Ok. . .that one is my kid. . .

He was very hyper before bed. He kept trying to scare everyone.

Daddy, you're the one that tells us what to do, and Mommy is the only one that changes your answer. -Kadence

The lady at the post office wanted to give the kids a sticker because she thought they were cute. There aren't a lot of sticker options at the post office. At least she didn't print postage for them. :) I wanted a picture of both kids with their stickers, but Kadence has been refusing to have her picture taken.

He won't eat if he's in his high chair. He'll only eat if he sits at the table just like everyone else.

Sometimes, he thinks he's a puppy. Sometimes, I think he's one too. :)

Me: Are you hungry?
Korvin: Cake!
Me: No, we're not having cake.
Korvin: Oh no!

I gave him fruit leather, and he pitched a fit. He kept calling me a "meeme". . .which is how he says meanie. Btw, he hasn't even had cake in over a month. Sorry kid, I'm not Marie Antoinette. 

Since he didn't get cake, he took one bite of everything offered, and refused to eat it while insisting that he was hungry. That is, until I gave him steamed broccoli with butter. He couldn't eat it fast enough.

So if your kid wants cake, what they need is really broccoli and butter. I don't think Kadence is going to be happy with this reasoning. lol

My nephew Caiden built a Walker from Star Wars. "I'm a genius!" Must get his modesty from his father. . . ;)

Kadence and Caiden came downstairs complaining. She said he hurt her. He was protesting.

Kadence: Caiden hurt me!
Caiden: It's her fault. She hit me!
Me: Did you hit him?
Kadence: Well. . .yes, but it hurt my hand, so it's his fault!

Korvin burped. He doesn't know what that's called. So he told me he pooped. lol

Korvin figured out texting today. He sent Uncle Natie a coded message. Lol

Korvin was underfoot in the kitchen, so I told him to go play with Daddy. He ignored me. So I told him to go play Xbox. He turned and bolted towards the living room yelling "BOX!!!" Wow.

Today when he didn't get what he wanted, he would cover his eyes while he cried about it. It's blurry, because that's what happens when you're laughing while trying to capture a moving target.

Herbal cold and cough syrup that I made today. Tastes pretty good, and opened me right up even though I'm not sick. :)

Korvin had something he wanted to do today after Kadence went to school. ;)

January 10, 2013

He really likes to "Keen up! Keen up!" Normally, when his toys are all picked up, he strews them about so he can pick them up again. Today, raisins were apparently more fun to do that with.

He doesn't want to ride on his toys. He wants to ride on hers. She, of course, was totally on board with that.

 

Kadence fell and hurt herself. Korvin walked over, wiped tears off her face, and put his binky in her mouth to make her feel better (or to make her be quiet.) She was laughing, so I guess it worked. :)
