Kadence and one of her Conner boyfriends. . .because she has several. 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.

February 1, 2013

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

366 Project: Week 51

Sunday (Day 358)

December 23, 2012

Giorgio Armani + Batman = ?
;)

There was a guy on the adjoining escalator going up while we were going down. I was momentarily tempted to grab his arm as we passed each other and yell "Do you believe in fate? I think you're my soulmate!" Would have been slightly awkward while holding my husband's hand, but still would have been funny. ;)

Monday (Day 359)

December 24, 2012

Playing at the park! Had to get rid of some energy. He LOVES the slide.

Kadence was having a fit because Patrick opened a coke. She told him not to drink it, because it was bad for him, and it would hurt him. He didn't listen. So she came to me.
K: Mommy! Daddy's drinking high fructose corn syrup!!
P: Rachael, control your organic child.
He should have listened. . .the cokes expired a year ago. lol

P(gets up from the table): Can you watch the kids for a minute?
Me: Yeah. . .(while thinking "Well, I AM their mother. . .")
P: Ok. Kadence, do what mommy says, and don't touch your shoes.

So if I tell her to touch her shoes, what should she do? Hahaha

Tuesday (Day 360)

December 25, 2012

Everyone else needed coffee to wake up. . .candy cane in the stocking did it for Korvin. :) Merry Christmas!

For Christmas, I'd like a functioning brain. . .for both me, and Patrick. This time, I'm blaming Texas weather. It was hot when we left home. Now it's below freezing there, snowing, and our heat was turned off when we left. Have I mentioned how much I love our awesome neighbors? That's twice in one trip that Amber saved us. I see lots of cookies in her near future. . .lol

Wednesday (Day 361)

December 26, 2012

Home is just around the corner! Still have some snow too, which made Kadence happy.

I may have kept children quiet on the way home with lollipops and gummy bears. . .it's Uncle Peyton's fault for providing them. But they ARE organic. . .and the kids HAVE been awfully quiet. . .so I think he's everyone's favorite person right now. Lol

As we were unpacking the car, the kids were playing with some of their new toys. We heard Korvin screaming like his life was in danger, and went in to find him backed against the front door screaming, while Kadence was using the broom to push his new tumbling chuck dump truck away while it shook, and talked, and did what it does. Patrick thought she was taking it away from him, and had her go help him unpack some things. I heard Korvin screaming again, and found him hiding in the other room while the truck rolled around the floor doing it's thing. Without Kadence and her broom, no one was there to protect him from the scary toy. Poor little guy. Things aren't always what they seem. Kadence WAS taking his toy away from him, but it was because it was terrifying him, and she was protecting him. :)

 

Thursday (Day 362)

December 27, 2012

Korvin's first time playing in snow. He wasn't overly thrilled. He touched it before I put socks on his hands (couldn't find any of our mittens,) and it upset him. lol. . .Kadence wanted to make a snowman, but the snow wouldn't hold together for that, so she made snow angels instead.

Friday (Day 363)

December 28, 2012

Bang up parking job. . .I went to Abilene to help Sandra get settled after she got out of the hospital. Savannah and I went to the store to get some things for her, and I had to take a picture of this spectacular parking job at the hippie store (as Ruth calls it.)

Saturday (Day 364)

December 29, 2012

 Can't go to Abilene and not go by Ruth's house. . .especially since there's an incredible bundle of cuteness that resides there. This is my favorite baby "nephew's" sleeping booty. ;)

366 Project: Week 49

Sunday (Day 344)

December 9, 2012

I think I saw Edward Scissorhands applying for a job.

K: Jesus doesn't have a body like men. Right?
Me: Yes.
K: Why not?
Me: Because he doesn't need a body anymore.
K: So he only has a head?

 

Monday (Day 345)

December 10, 2012

Kadence got a "big girl" haircut last night. She said not to take it all off because she didn't want to look like Uncle Benny, because that would be bad because he doesn't have any hair. ;)

I think Korvin was trying not to be seen. . .using ostrich defense. Lol

Both kids were snuggling contentedly in my lap while watching Backyardigans. . .I'd say that made me happy, but I REALLY needed to pee. So close to perfection. ;)

Tuesday (Day 346)

December 11, 2012

Does this baby make my butt look too big? ;)

This is how he likes to shop. . .and do pretty much everything else. Lol

Last time Kadence took her shopping cart and went shopping, she went to the "store" and asked for organic, pastured eggs. Then she yelled to me that they were all out, and asked what to do. I told her to go to the farm.

Just now, she told me she was going to the "store" and would be right back with the coconuts for our coconut oil party. I know we use a lot of coconut oil. . .but this is the first I'm hearing about a party for it. . .or with it. LOL

Wednesday (Day 347)

December 12, 2012

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. One day, he decided to help his mommy by cleaning off the couch while she was trying to fold laundry. He cleaned of the whole couch, and was so proud of himself. But then he turned around, and the floor was dirty. So he picked up all the clothes off of the floor, and put them on the couch. He was so proud of himself for cleaning the couch, AND the floor. But then the floor was clean, and the couch was dirty. So he again resumed clearing off the couch. This process continued until the little boy's mommy had finally grabbed all of the laundry, and sorted it to put it away. Then the couch was clean, and the floor was clean, and the laundry wasn't. . .but the little boy's mommy is pretending that it is. The little boy was so proud of himself for helping get all that work done!

Later, the little boy's mommy was very tired from having all that extra help. The little boy wanted her to get up and hold him so he could play with the light switches. She told him no, because she was very tired. So the little boy screwed up his face, and decided to see if a good fake cry would make her change her mind. It didn't. She just laughed and took pictures. When he saw the pictures, he laughed too.

The End.

Thursday (Day 348)

December 13, 2012

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. . .yes, that little boy. One evening while his mommy and his big sister were getting ready for his big sister's Christmas play (where she portrayed her angelic nature,) the little boy helped himself to some more chips. There weren't very many left, and the were all broken up, so he decided they were just as much fun to play with as they were to eat. The little boy started pulling the chips out of the bag, and making a pile next to him. When his mommy saw what he was doing, he started picking up the chips, and putting them all back in the bag.

After all the chips were cleaned up, the mommy, the little boy, and the big sister went to the play. The little boy was very tired since it was past his bedtime, and he was unhappy that he didn't get to help his big sister be an angel. So he plopped himself down on the floor, and decided to stay there until the play was over. The big sister said all her lines perfectly, and then yelled "Mom, I did it! Just like I was supposed to!" and gave her a big thumbs up. It was adorable, and the mommy was sad that the daddy didn't get to be there to see it. . .but he'll get to watch a video later. :)

The End

Friday (Day 349)

December 14, 2012

Kadence has been waiting, and waiting, and waiting to see baby Liam. She begged to hold him, and while she did she was crooning "It's ok baby, I'm gonna be your sister!" I guess that's true. . .since his parents are her godparents. :)

This is left (points left,) and this is east (points right. . .which happens to be north.) -Kadence

Had to make a stop so Kadence could go to the bathroom.
Patrick: That bathroom is probably dirty, so watch your butt.
Kadence: YOU wash YOUR butt! 

Saturday (Day 350)

December 15, 2012

Patrick, today you accomplished something huge. I know you don't think it's a big deal, but baby, you're the ONLY one that thinks that. This was trial by fire, and now you're on the other side. There aren't really words to express just how proud of you I am, and I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Now your diploma can go in the box in the closet with mine, and they can keep each other company. ;)

366 Project: Week 45

Sunday (Day 316)

November 11, 2012

I spent the weekend with an amazing little dude. . .and his parents. His mother is, afterall, my BFF. ;)

Kadence wasn't happy that I went to see Liam without her, and Korvin wasn't happy that I went ANYWHERE without him. Seems they've both survived though. Lol

Monday (Day 317)

November 12, 2012

He found an old baby hat, insisted on wearing it, then went and got his cape and had to wear that too. Now he looks like a tiny priest. lol

Korvin developed a new form of napping protest by pooping multiple times in succession. After the 3rd diaper, we called a truce. . .

Tuesday (Day 318)

November 13, 2012

Tammi told Kadence to write a letter telling her what jewelry she wanted. This was her list. Lol

Kadence: Your boobs are so big!

Me: Not really.

K: My boobs are so small!

Me: That's because you don't really have boobs.

K: But I have armpits.

Korvin likes farting when he's in my lap. This evening he did it, and started laughing about it.
Me: Eeeewww!
Kadence: What?
Me: He's farting on me!
Kadence: I think he's farting because he wants to watch the Avengers.
Korvin: Poopy! Poopy! Poopy!

Apparently, farting either means you want to watch the Avengers, or you're poopy. I'll try to keep that in mind.

Kadence kept asking how to spell words, and Korvin kept yelling out random letters and confusing her. :)

Wednesday (Day 319)

November 14, 2012

I had to go wake him up so we could get Kadence from school. He looks so comfortable, I might try sleeping with my pillow under my feet instead of my head and see if I sleep better that way.

"Dear Jesus. . .please let my mom know that superheros aren't real. . .help my dad's headache go away so he can have fun. . .and help his flesh. . .and tell him every day that superheros aren't real too. . .help him know what me, and Rachael are saying when we talk to him, and help him know what Korvin's saying too. . ."

By the time she got to "help his flesh" I was about to implode. Do I go to hell for laughing when a child is praying? It was dark, so she didn't see. . . 

Thursday (Day 320)

November 15, 2012

Kadence is grounded from TV right now, so Korvin wanted to take advantage of her being at school so he could watch a show. I turned one on for him, and then got busy with something. When I looked at him again, he had set himself up like this to watch TV. . .complete with remote. Lol

Friday (Day 321)

November 16, 2012

Korvin + doorknob + Kadence's face = bruised eye

That was a couple of days ago, but it's just now showing up.

Kadence just informed me that sometimes her butt itches when she gets a headache. Were she an adult, I'd have plenty of things to say in response to that. . .but since she's not, I said nothing at all.

Saturday (Day 322)

November 17, 2012

 Like my phone background? ;)

366 Project: Week 44

Sunday (Day 309)

November 4, 2012

Fermented cod liver oil gummies. The kids ask for them every day. :)

I soaked a pound of liver in lemon juice and water overnight. This morning I puréed it, and mixed it in with 2 pounds of ground beef, added seasonings, and made hamburgers. This is how Korvin feels about them. He ate 1.5 of the patties by the time he was finished. Lol

Monday (Day 310)

November 5, 2012

Which cooks first, the chicken, or the eggs? ;)

Korvin ate both chicken legs in one sitting. Most of the rest of the chicken was made into sour cream chicken enchiladas, and what's left will turn into chicken and rice casserole tomorrow. I've also got pots of rice and beans soaking overnight to cook tomorrow, and will also be making regular hamburgers (as in, liver free,) and spaghetti with meat sauce. Why all the cooking? My freezer was getting pretty empty, and it was time to fill it up again. :)

Warning: Potty humor hahaha
Someone doesn't always remember to wipe when she goes to the bathroom.
Me: Now we have to change your panties.
K: But why?
Me: Because they have pee on them, and they're dirty now.
K: YOU PEED ON MY PANTIES?!?!?!
Me: No, YOU did when you didn't wipe.

And here we all were thinking she was brilliant.

Kadence was reading to me before bed. She read the word "fat" as "fant" and when I corrected her, she insisted she was right by saying "But that's a lower case fuuuh." Well silly me. I didn't realize that a lower case "fuuuh" creates an "n" in the word "fat." 

Tuesday (Day 311)

November 6, 2012

Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. . .Lol. It's much easier to pull small portions like this out of the freezer as needed. Kadence wants to eat them like she eats the heart gummies though. I might let her. ;)

Wednesday (Day 312)

November 7, 2012

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

 

Korvin was walking around the house trying to go trick or treating again. I felt bad, so I gave him a small piece of chocolate. . .and then he kept politely asking for more. The last clip is him holding the iPhone recording a video of himself, and the ending just cracks me up.

Korvin brought me the Boba carrier, and insisted on being on my back while I was in the kitchen. Then he kept sticking his hand over my shoulder and insisting on samples of everything. When I was doing dishes, he got bored and told me he wanted to go bye bye, and started kicking his legs and telling me to giddy up.
 

Thursday (Day 313)

November 8, 2012

$5 for a pumpkin spice latte? I think not. Mine taste just as good. Better actually, since I know where it all came from. ;)

Friday (Day 314)

November 9, 2012

Look at all the pretty leaves outside my favorite hippie store. :)

Tried encouraging Korvin to eat with utensils at dinner. It would seem that he thinks in addition to being naked, everyone should just eat with their fingers like God so obviously intended. He's not a very civilized child. Lol

Saturday (Day 315)

November 10, 2012

Since mommy human is otherwise occupied with baby human, Bella reluctantly decided that I was an acceptable replacement human to cuddle with. Bella has tolerated me every time I go visit Ruth, but now she's clearly desperate for attention. ;)

366 Project: Week 43

Sunday (Day 302)

October 28, 2012

Kadence helping Garrett stir his coffee. :)

Monday (Day 303)

October 29, 2012

Korvin eating with the big kids.

Tuesday (Day 304)

October 30, 2012

Poor baby. Bedtime is still 2 hours away. Not sure he's gonna make it.

Wednesday (Day 305)

October 31, 2012

The adventures of Batman and Supergirl. . .in which Supergirl taught Batman that you can just walk into people's houses, and they'll give you candy. Batman had never had candy, and had no idea what it was, but he decided it was awesome since it was all wrapped in bright colors, and make crinkly sounds. Then he tasted this thing called candy. . .M&M's they were called. He was confused at first as to why he was allowed to be eating such things, so he moved away to a safe distance to finish them off so no one would take them from him. Supergirl was pleased to have shown Batman the ways of Trick or Treating, and the badness that is candy.

Thursday (Day 306)

November 1, 2012

This is Max the penguin. Max pees foam soap into your hand. Then you make sure to wash your hands really well to get the pee off. This hopefully will help a certain little girl remember to wash her hands. :)

Friday (Day 307)

November 2, 2012

Made chocolate syrup today, and let the kids clean the pan. You know, to make up for all that Halloween candy that just disappeared. Lol

Saturday (Day 308)

November 3, 2012

Someone has started helping himself to all the books in the bookcase, since he's tall enough to reach them. He sits and "reads" them, and then either puts them back, or brings them to me.

We were working on Kadence's Christmas list this morning. She asked for an iPad. Later, she asked me if she could have a baby shower next weekend. No, and no. lol

I believe the baby shower idea is in her head because my BFF Ruth, who happens to be Kadence's Godmother, had her baby today. :)

366 Project: Week 39

Sunday (Day 274)

September 30, 2012

 Mommy-KK date to see Madagascar 3. :)

I like this song. It makes my booty shake. -Kadence

Monday (Day 275)
October 1, 2012

I'm guessing Korvin thought I needed to clean the fridge. Or he was planning on doing it for me. Or he just wanted his wet washcloth cold. Lol

Dear Korvin,
Today you need to learn about the phrase "Don't shit where you eat." I understand that you don't like wearing a diaper (or anything else,) so I get why you bolt as soon as one is removed. However, it's very rude of you to run under the table, and then take a dump. I'm seriously considering tying you down when it's time to change your diaper. I still love you, but if you're going to keep doing this, how about targeting Daddy once in awhile? ;)
Love, Mommy

Tuesday (Day 276)
October 2, 2012

My big baby took his vitamins. I had told him they wouldn't kill him. He clearly disagrees. Lmao


Wednesday (Day 277)
October 3, 2012

Kadence forgot to put her chair back under the table so it wouldn't tempt her little brother to climb on it. So of course, Korvin climbed right up and helped himself to her water.

Korvin undid one of the snap on his diaper. Kadence was trying to snap it back, and surprisingly he was standing still letting her. She couldn't do it though, and got frustrated. She threw her hands up and said "Just go to your mother!"

Thursday (Day 278)
October 4, 2012

She wanted him to play in the playhouse with her, but when she yelled "Come 'ere kid!" he turned and ran. Lol


Friday (Day 279)
October 5, 2012

Korvin now likes to just sit with the Lego bucket on his head, just like Uncle Natie used to.

Kadence has decided to camp economy style. Who needs a tent AND a sleeping bag when you can use the tent as both?


Saturday (Day 280)
October 6, 2012

It's not a real number. Savannah called to check. Lol

Today I was in the McDonald's drive thru. . .because Ruth had a craving, and she made me. . .and you don't say no to a pregnant redhead. I thought she was pranking me, but no, she actually made me go to McDonald's. I personally didn't support them though. lol
