Toothless

FINALLY!!! She lost a tooth. Almost 7 years old and she had all of those teeny tiny baby teeth. (which I am not gonna lie, I loved) Both teeth came out within 24hours off each other. She's a couple years off her older brother who lost his first tooth before kindergarten - not that I am comparing.

This Does NOT Represent ME!!

I am outraged. So Op (Oprah, but I call her Op, wez tight), as I was saying Op came to town and as a city, we (minus myself), gave her a set of 'truck nuts'. I am disgusted, totally disgusted. It's like saying to Oprah 'we are so red neck and and the biggest bunch of DB's that we don't even know how distasteful these things are.' I don't particularlly find them offensive just douchey.
I was thinking of getting a set of steel ovaries to hang on the back of my car. How would the guys like that.

CANDY, CANDY , CANDY

The theme for my sister's birthday was 3 of my favourite things candy, candy and more candy. - well techniqually there was apps but if it was up to me it would have been all candy.

A fun FHE outting. I was also there, but it is rare you get a shot of me. Maybe I should try to get in the picture more... OK done, I'll try.

Not Such a Baby .. Well Kinda

Just for funnzeez me and my older kids put Nate in the baby carrier ... clearly he is too big and clearly he HATED IT!

A Fire or ...

I really like these quote , but I also feel like there should maybe be a few exceptions. IE - when you child takes an ENTIRE bottle of maple syrup and pours it all over you white carpet. There will be some definite yelling. At one point in the clean up process (as the devil child was sitting on the couch with his head down making the sound kids make when they have been crying too hard - you know) I just yelled out at the top of my lungs AAHHHHHHHH(not at anyone) because I was SO frustrated with being STICKY. I thought it would let off some steam and spare the 2 year old some serious sadness. It actually helped.

 When he was allowed to get out of time out. He immediately ran up and gave me a kiss then made a B-line to help me clean. -and I use the term HELP very loosely. i must admit at this point I started to think he was adorable again.

As a side note-  I told me kids this story when they got home, and today I went to pick them up to take them on a Valentine lunch date and 2 girls in Ethan's class came up and asked Ethan if they could smell Nate to see if he smelled like syrup.

DYB DYB DYB, DOB DOB DOB

Growing up with NO brothers I had no idea that this whole weirdo world of cubs existed. All these crazy chants and actions, it is like some kind of cult. When Bart first showed me what the cubs do each meeting I thought to myself - 'there is no way in HECK my son will want to do that ... NO WAY'.  -I was told warned to be supportive and enthusiastic (by Bart), and I was. I didn't laugh in front of my cub when he showed me the grand howl (I actually thought it was adorable AND hilarious).  But to make a long story short these 8 to 10 year old boys totally buy into this business. It is a genius program - GENIUS I tells ya.

My boy ironing his necker - necker seriously? The name is necker?
