Uh Oh!

OK, so I think my kids are going to grow up being a little odd or maybe just more experienced! The other day one of the dairy cows that we have had her baby which is super cute. He is all black which is much different from our usual red and white cows. So I asked the kids if they wanted to go see the new baby and Evelyn said, "Is it dead?" We have had a few dead calves lately but not that many so I'm guessing they either like the dead ones or they just stand out more. I'm guessing when they go to school we might be having to go in for extra teacher conferences. (The picture was a few weeks ago and she woke up in the car not very happy!)

Toddlers vs. Newborns

As usual getting a picture of Evelyn is like getting a picture of my mom!!!!!

Well I think my two babies are out to get me this last week. They haven't been sleeping well so they have been falling asleep around midnight and then rolling into our bedroom around 7 in the morning. Now I know for most people that is an adequate amount of sleep. But for those of you who know me this simply does not cover the sleep I need. On top of being pregnant and not being able to sleep well as it is I have to have two bad babies whining and crying at night and intermittently throughout the day because they are tired. Maybe if I started whining with them it would help. I'm not sure who said that with a newborn you don't get any sleep but I remember getting more sleep when they were new compared to the toddler days. Maybe I'm just extra sensitive. I know someday I will look back on these days and want them back very badly but for today I'm tired and I would love to take an ambien and book a hotel room for 3 days!!!! Neither of which I can do but I can dream! I think that God makes them so cute so you don't ship them off on days like this. I love my babies but I think I would love them more if they were sleeping.

Soap In The Mouth

Well I had to do it and I didn't think that the whole thing was going to be that traumatizing but it was. So my little James has decided to start swearing which is cute sometimes but not a good habit to be starting. He has started with saying Dammit quite a bit so we just talked about how that's a bad word and he shouldn't say it. Well apparently that wasn't good enough because the other day he had moved on to saying God Dammit. I will give everyone one guess where he heard that (Daddy). So I took the bar of soap and swiped it on his tongue twice. You would have thought that I had beat him for an hour. He was completely devastated. All day he talked about how "Mama put soap in my mouth." So as soon as Dwight got home James went over to him and said "Mama put soap in my mouth." His lip curled under and he got tears in his eyes. Who would have thought that I would have ruined my little boys life for the day. We have moved on after that but I'm happy to report that he hasn't repeated that word.
