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)

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)

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)

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 48

Sunday (Day 337)
December 2, 2012

Christmas came early this year. ;) Thanks Patrick. . .but you still have to wait for yours. It's not nearly as useful though. Lol

Monday (Day 338)
December 3, 2012
Labeling GMOs is easy. See? :)


Tuesday (Day 339)
December 4, 2012
13.5 lbs of raw cheese in my fridge. You can file that along with the other odd stuff under "things that make Rachael happy." :)

Me: Someone needs to go to bed.
Korvin: Me!

Me: Someone is a tired, cranky baby.
Kadence: It's Korvin.

It seems we all agree. lol


Wednesday (Day 340)
December 5, 2012
"That's baby Korvin. He's a baby hippo, because he was born underwater." -Kadence

Korvin needs a nap, but he keeps asking for my coffee instead. Definitely my kid. Lol


Thursday (Day 341)
December 6, 2012
He wanted to play dress up. . .with KK's clothes. Lol


Friday (Day 342)
December 7, 2012
When he's ready to get KK from school (usually when he wants a nap,) he goes and gets the Boba carrier, and starts dragging around trying to convince me that it's time to go get her.


Saturday (Day 343)
December 8, 2012
 Christmas party gift exchange. Kadence picked our gift. When she pulled the paper off the box and thought the gift was nursing pads, she said "But I don't even want to nurse!" Hahaha. . .homemade apple sauce, and pear purée. It'll be gone tomorrow. :)

Kadence learned the 10 commandments at school this week. "Thou shalt not kill means don't murder. So don't murder. Please don't murder, Mom. Ok?"

Well, I was just thinking about that, but since you asked so nicely, I guess I won't murder anyone. lol

366 Project: Week 47

Sunday (Day 330)
November 25, 2012

Small problem with letting the boy help pick out his Christmas gifts. . .he screamed about giving them back. Guess that means he'll just be that much happier when he sees them again. Lol


Monday (Day 331)
November 26, 2012
Patrick puts water in his hair to make it behave. This morning, Korvin climbed up to do the same.


Tuesday (Day 332)
November 27, 2012
He's got this stacking thing down. :)


Wednesday (Day 333)
November 28, 2012
We have a reward system for Kadence where she can earn quarters. For months she's been working on earning 65 quarters to pay for her music box. Today she earned the last 2 she needed. :)

Dear Korvin,
I'm glad your sister is helping you expand your vocabulary. However, "eyeball" is not the correct answer to every question you are asked. In fact, it hasn't been the correct answer yet. . .especially when you sign "more" while saying it. Let's go back to yes, and no, shall we? It was less confusing.
Love, Mommy


Thursday (Day 334)
November 29, 2012
Raise your hands if you're 5! ;)

Dear Kadence,
5 years ago, you made me a mommy. You've spent the last 5 years making me laugh, and occasionally you make me cry. . .usually because I'm trying not to laugh. :) Sometimes you make me more patient, and sometimes more exasperated. . .but overall you make me a better person. I'm so happy I'm your mommy. No matter how old you get, you'll always be my baby girl.

I'll love you forever.
Mommy


Friday (Day 335)

  At Patrick's company Christmas party. Seems like a good hand to me. :)
 As Patrick was laughing at me. . .and the wall was holding me up. . .I decided all that crap about having to be in pain to be beautiful is just that. Crap. I look best in the morning before I get dressed and put on makeup. My husband says so. ;) Goodbye boots. We're not friends anymore, and we shan't be meeting again.

Saturday (Day 336)
December 1, 2012
If I got this for Patrick's graduation celebration, that would make me the best wife ever. . .but since I already am, I'm not gonna bother. ;)

Sunday (Day 323)
November 18, 2012

He had some bunny crackers in his hand that he insisted on feeding to her, instead of eating himself.

Baby junkie needed a hit, and was looking for a fix. All that was left in the teething tablets bottle was powder from a few tablets that got crushed. He was trying to get every last bit of it.


Monday (Day 324)
November 19, 2012
Kadence wanted to push Korvin in the swing. Korvin didn't want Kadence to push him in the swing. So every time she did, he yelled "Ow!!" Lol


Tuesday (Day 325)
November 20, 2012
I'm making marshmallows. :)

Watching Korvin run across the room for the sole purpose of giving Kadence a hug always makes me feel better. Regardless of whatever is going wrong at the moment, at least my children genuinely love each other. . .for now anyway. ;)


Wednesday (Day 326)
November 21, 2012
100% made from scratch. (Who came up with that term?) The blackberry pie is made from blackberries we picked this summer. I'm having a really hard time leaving the maple pecan pie alone until tomorrow. :D


Thursday (Day 327)
November 22, 2012
My baby cuddling with KK's baby while watching TV. :)


Friday (Day 328)
November 23, 2012
Kudos to Target for putting something that wasn't full of crap in their bag of freebies today. I'm now addicted to Angie's Popcorn products.


Saturday (Day 329)
November 24, 2012
  Helping Daddy put lights on the playhouse. :)
