The joys of being a mother!

We have been talking to Henry about getting ready to go on the potty. He is totally afraid of the toilet. This should be fun. So Sophie in her high pitched mom voice (which is odd since I have a pretty low voice) says to Henry....
"It's ok bubby boo. You just go poop and then pee on the potty."

I can tell she is thinking.

"Mom, why is pop then pee?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well when I always go poop, sometimes long time somtimes not a long time, then I know I am really really done cause the pee comes out."

I am stunned....uhhhhh, wellllllll, uhhhhh.

How do you answer that one? I have no IDEA!

"You know that is a good question. Ask Grandma next time we are there."

Halloween Pictures!!

We got our camera back and finally got to upload pictures. This is from our Utah trip!

Grandma and Grandpa Eastmans house! The ghost is Grandma Judy!

CAN'T GO ON! We have a monkey down!

Sophie and her cousin Katie. Sophie thinks she is pretty cool!

You Can't See Me!!!

Henry was being talked to about something he had just done wrong. I was sitting right in front of him telling him why we don't hit. All of a sudden he closed his eyes so tight. Trying no to laugh I asked if he was listening to me. He replied....

Very softly, "Herry is not here."

How do you NOT laugh?

We are alive!!!

What a couple weeks! I have let the blog go big time. It started with me RIPPING, yup I said ripped a butt muscle in crossfit. Hurts like....So then we thought why not drive to Utah 13 hours when I am not suppose to be sitting on my butt. So we did. We got to see Adam who just got home from his mission in Mexico and attend the Eastman Halloween party! I left my camera in Utah so these are borrowed pics for now. Then when we got home, I was in pain, Henry was sick, I had a really bad root canal and so on..... Phhhheewwwww. Here are some pics to catch you up to speed.

As soon as I get more camera I will post more pics! Thanks for the borrowed ones. :)

It's cookie making time!

Im not sure what is wrong with my camera. I apologize for the awful pictures. We had FHE which consisted of Wii and hot and cold for the activity and then making cookies for refreshments. This is how they turned out. Henry was a little sweaty from Wii.

Tampons!

So the other day my back was hurting and the kids love to fix my back. I lay down and the rub, hit, sit on...you get the picture. I must have been tired because during the torture I drifted off. I could feel Henry messing with my shirt and some sort of toy. He usually plays cars on my back and it is really relaxing. Sophie decides she is going to play with my hair which only puts me farther into a drift. I wake up and can not figure out what they were playing with.
The back of my shirt was full of Tampons that had been unwrapped and "ejected". The cardboard applicators were now wrapped up in my hair as "curlers".

I had 2 thoughts...
1. HEY, these are expensive.
2. You guys were way off, but pretty creative.

Sophie goes to the Dentist!

She had her first cleaning and x-rays on Tuesday. She wasn't nervous at all. I did have to lay down with her and she rubbed my hands pretty hard at some points. Hey, even adults hate the dentist. She had her eye on the prize. She got to pick something out at Target if there was no fussing or crying. She was focused.

And then exhausted...
