366 Project: Week 42

Sunday (Day 295)

October 21, 2012

Had to get a picture with Felicia Day to prove to Kadence that she was still alive, since her character died on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. ;)

 

After we showed Kadence the pictures, she got upset that we didn't take her, because she wanted to take a picture with Felicia too.

 Got to meet Eddie McClintock and take a few pictures with him. This is a lean in photo, and a lean out photo. I was trying almost unsuccessfully not to laugh.

 Best part of the weekend though was meeting and taking a picture with Firefly's Gina Torres and Alan Tudyk. I know, we're giant geeks.

Monday (Day 296)

October 22, 2012

Poor kid now has to talk on the calculator instead of the phone. . .that's what he gets for breaking my phone. lol

Tuesday (Day 297)

October 23, 2012

Trying to hang on to him while walking home from school.

Kadence held a snack up in the air, and tried to get Korvin to jump for it. . .and he did. Then she told him to say "apple," and when he did, she gave him another one. Perhaps I'll let her potty train him too. . .

Wednesday (Day 298)

October 24, 2012

His newest perch. Don't worry, when it looks like he's doing something dangerous, I always make sure he's ok before stopping to take a picture. . .then I make him very angry by not letting him do it again. :)

I love that my children love to help. What I don't love, is the extra work that comes from all the helping.

Korvin went though a process today of uncleaning my formerly clean laundry by using whatever he could grab to dust and "clean" other things. Then there was that time that Kadence was helping me fold kitchen towels, but decided to lay them all out on the floor to do so. Oh, and that time when she was folding them on the couch, but when she'd put a folded one in her pile, Korvin would stand behind her, take it off the pile, and throw it behind him on the floor. Actually, that one happens a lot, because he does it to me too. It's like working with a dissemble line. . .like an assembly line in reverse. . .which is why my laundry is in a constant state of limbo. lol

Thursday (Day 299)

October 25, 2012

This is Kadence's computer. She built it herself. :)

K1: When I grow up, I'm going to be a fab'lous superhero!
Me: Really?
K2: Rewe. . .uh-oh.

Friday (Day 300)

October 26, 2012

What's that? I'm to remain seated, and keep my hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times? Yeah right. . .

Saturday (Day 301)

October 27, 2012

 First pumpkin carving. I think Patrick did pretty good, don't you? :)

Yesterday Kadence told me when she was never going to leave me, and she was going to live with me forever. When she got married, she was still going to come back and live with me. I asked why she wasn't going to live with her husband, and she said something along the lines of that was silly, and she was going to be a superhero, not a mommy.

Today, after she helped me take care of Korvin, she informed me that she had changed her mind and was going to be a mommy, because being a superhero was silly. . .but she's still going to live here, and she's not getting married, because she has to stay here with her dad. I'm just leaving this alone. . .

366 Project: Week 41

Sunday (Day 288)

October 14, 2012

They've been dehydrated, and are now roasting. Tomorrow they'll all become salmonella free almond butter. :)

Monday (Day 289)

October 15, 2012

When Korvin gets mad at one parent, he goes to the other parent to tell on the one that upset him, whine about it, and be comforted. However, what's a boy to do when the person he's mad at is the only person around? He got mad at me, climbed off my lap and walked off. He then paused when he realized that there was no one he could go to and tell on me. So he walked around in a circle before coming back to tell on me TO me, and then climb back up in my lap to be comforted. Silly boy. Babies don't need coffee, cell phones, or TV remotes. Don't get mad at me just because I won't let you have them. ;)

Well, he got his coffee after all. I moved it out of his reach (or so I thought) before going to get the clean laundry. I somehow forgot that he'll always find a way to climb to what he wants. He came running in, and grabbed a washcloth from the clean laundry bucket, and then ran off again. I went into the other room to find that he had spilled my cold coffee, and was cleaning up his mess. . .pausing to suck the coffee out of the washcloth. It didn't take long before he was laughing hysterically at everything.

I'm proud of him for trying to clean up his mess, but we ended up skipping morning naptime. It's Monday. This is what happens when I try to get something done. Therefore, I should just quit trying. lol

Extra bonus Monday points: Korvin wanted to talk to Daddy, so we called him. When Daddy didn't answer, Korvin got mad, grabbed my phone, threw it. . .and shattered the screen. I would rather upgrade because I choose to, not because I have to. But, thanks to Korvin, this will be replaced with an iPhone.

On the upside for today, I think I've convinced Kadence to stop inviting random people we don't know to her love party. lol

Tuesday (Day 290)

October 16, 2012

He wasn't happy when I told him it was time to wake up, so he insisted on being comfy on the couch. :)

Patrick: Were you a bad boy? Did you drink mommy's coffee yesterday?
Korvin: (huge grin and giggle) Cofgahee!

Wednesday (Day 291)

October 17, 2012

Reading me a bedtime story. She read the whole thing. :)

Thursday (Day 292)

October 18, 2012

Bath time bubble bearded baby. ;)

My sweet baby has moved into the phase of always ending up being a dirty faced little boy with sticky hands. However, wet washcloths are his favorite toy. Winning! Well, as long as they're wet with water, and not coffee. ;)

Last night Kadence wanted to cuddle before she went to sleep. I laid down next to her, and put my arm around her. She picked it up and said "Here, put this over by where you are." I said "But you wanted to cuddle." She said "Yes, but you stay over there, and keep your hands to yourself."

Tonight, she wouldn't sit by me while I read her a story, because she said I would be in her bubble. Then she asked to cuddle again before bed. I told her I couldn't, because she didn't want me in her bubble. She hasn't thought this through. She wants to cuddle, but she doesn't want to touch. So what she should really be asking is for me to lay on the other side of her bed, not touch her, and talk for a few minutes before she goes to sleep. lol 

Friday (Day 293)

October 19, 2012

Took the kid to Palio's and got him some gluten free pizza, since he's been wanting pizza forever. He was slightly confused about being allowed to have it, but he happily gobbled it all up. :)

Saturday (Day 294)

October 20, 2012 

Hey look, it's Bruce Campbell. Patrick and I went to Dallas Comi-Con's Fan Days this weekend. 

So I was staring down this Dalek, and then he felt me up. Not only did the Doctor not show up and save me, my own husband didn't do anything except laugh. . .and take a picture. lol

366 Project: Week 40

Sunday (Day 281)

October 7, 2012

Facetime chatted this morning with my babies. Poor little man had just woken up, and he was NOT happy. See the tears? :/ He cheered up shortly thereafter.

Monday (Day 282)

October 8, 2012

Korvin walked with me to pick Kadence up from school. Then they held hands all the way back home. :) They found a dead frog along the way, and stopped to examine it.

Tuesday (Day 283)

October 9, 2012

Daddy put Korvin down while we were shopping this morning, and so the little guy went straight to pick out what he thought we needed to buy. He made healthy, organic choices. Kadence would be proud. ;)
Kadence asked me if she could send this picture to Sophia. The conversation went something like this:
K: Can I send this to Sophia so we can have a love party?
Me:
K: Please can I send this to Sophia so we can have a date and have fun?
Me: What is a love party?
K: It's when you love all of your friends, and so you have a love party.
Me: Um...ok.
K: Yay! A love party for everyone!

So if/when you, or your children receive an invitation to a love party, that's what it is...not that other thing you were thinking. However, I still can't keep a straight face when she brings up plans for her love party...like making carrot cake, for which she says the recipe is 4 carrots, 14 nuts, and 1 small egg.

Wednesday (Day 284)

October 10, 2012

Korvin decided not to take a nap. He was far too busy. He got a handful of crayons, and Kadence's notebooks, and was scribbling away for over half an hour.

Thursday (Day 285)

October 11, 2012

Korvin tried to take a bite out of my Apple. So I decided that meant it was dinner time. I made him some mac and cheese (gluten free) for dinner, which he'd never had before. It didn't take him long to finish it off.

Friday (Day 286)

October 12, 2012

Soaking almonds to break down phytic acid. Then they'll be dehydrated, roasted, and turned into almond butter. :)

Saturday (Day 287)

October 13, 2012 

Roasting fresh pumpkin seeds apparently makes me the best wife in the world. Good to know. Lol

Kadence says they're watching Batman. Korvin says they're watching Batmmmm.

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
