Pick 10 things that are different in picture B than picture A.

A.
B.

I subscribe to the Family Fun Magazine and love to read the articles and see all the ideas that they have. Ava has been entering a new phase of having me hold her all the time. As lovely as that sounds, it is just not possible. So today I decided to give "the kitchen sandbox" a try. Although it was a lot messier than the picture, it was well worth it. Ava played in it for about 2 hours and Dallas & Reese played for about an hour. Another positive is the mess was in one spot. Usually I have a kid in each room making 3 separate messes. And it only got better. I was able to make phone calls without saying "can you hold on please, don't do that, I will just have to let you go". As well as do my laundry without Ava throwing everything I have folded the minute I turn my back.
So my Family Fun Review is: $3.59 + 30 minutes of cleanup= 3 hours of sanity! Thank you Family Fun!

  5. Glad the kids had fun and the mom could enjoy a break. I could use a break right about now...a 10 day cruise kind of break, with no kids ;).
    You don't need to tell me the paint color, I changed my mind, doing blue instead. I just ordered some bright pink toile for in there, hopefully I can pull this room together on a tight budget. Have a super weekend!

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
