Lexi is here! YAY!!

We are so excited. Lexi got here today to live with us. The kids can hardly wait for Aunt Lexi. They have been bouncing off the walls.
Just when I thought my kids were a lost cause, Henry pulls the sweetest move.
The kids were worried cause there were no pillows on her bed. I told them we were getting some and not to worry. When we came in the door Henry ran upstairs and pulled his pillows off his bed and handed them to Lexi.
Melt my heart. He remembered all day and wanted to give his beloved pillows to her.

It kind of makes up for the night before. Sam and I were watching 24 and the kids were not quit ready for bed. We told them since we wanted to watch a "mommy and daddy" show they could go up and get in our bed with a movie. We hear HYSTERICAL laughter and wonder what is going on. I send Sam up to see what is going on. The kids thought it was hysterical to spray each other in the face with febreeze! I mean laughing like I have never heard. After washing and making them drink a bunch of water, I asked why they would do that.
Simply..."it was just so funny, mom."

Wild Animals!

After an evening with my 2 WILD ANIMALS, I have done some thinking? Why? Why are my kids, those kids? They were so out of control in a restaurant tonight. We met Emily and Andrew to pick up Sophie and get some dinner. It was like a 3 ring circus. Every time I try to talk to them about it they have some witty come back. It's all you can do to keep it together. I swear every time I am not taking them in public again, but we all know that doesn't work. I am an out and about kind of girl.

On the way home they yelled Bob the Builder and Barbie back and forth as loud and as long as they can. OH MY WORD...It's enough to make you want to jump out of the car at full speed.

So you think we get home and things calm down...you would be wrong. It's now turned into a full blown Kung Fu Panda fight. Complete with body slams off the couch.

"If someone cries, I am not going to feel bad for you..."
"That's it, go to bed...."
"When Dad gets home you are busted..."

Guess what they still are wild. It's not like they are naughty or mean, JUST WILD!!!

EVERY TIME I take them to someone else house to play they tell me how well behaved my kids are and what a joy it was to have them. I almost look like I was hit by lightning, I am sure.

They must of forgot which kids are mine!

I am dumbfounded. MINE??

So is it an evil conspiracy, let's break mom and dad?

What is it?? Someone tell me before I lose my mind. I am starting to think people will think I am crazy when I don't believe them my children are so well behaved.

They are wild animals I tell you!

Haircut time!!

It was so out of control and I FINALLY convinced Sam to get rid of it.

Enjoy a little treat from Henry!
