so ridicuwas.

My almost-4-year-old {wahhhhh} is embarking into the world of adjectives head first.  We are full of descriptive words.  No longer is it ok to just wear a shirt, we have to wear a beautiful shirt.  A pair of boots has become a pair of wuvewy {lovely} boots.

When she puts on a princess dress {which is literally every.single.day}, she looks in the mirror and proclaims, "well, don't I just look fabeewous {fabulous}!"

I think it is so hysterical.  She always has the facial expressions that go with the word.  

Yesterday:

"Mommy, isn't it disgusting and so ridicuwas that Jack doesn't wisten to me?"  As she stands there with her arms crossed and shaking her head. 

Yes, yes it is ridicuwas. 

Starting the new year off with a bang!

Or...a bust!

Jack + train table = fat lip :(

His favorite things!

Jack has become very opinionated in his ripe ol' age of almost 22 months.  Oh toddlerhood...what a fickle time.

If left up to him, he would survive on the following 4 foods forever and ever:

1. scrambled eggs - he requests them morning, noon, and night.

2. fruit snacks - aka "foot nacks"

3. french fries - aka "frinfry" said as one long word.

4. blackberries - I really need to invest in a blackberry bush.  He inhales them.

His favorite forms of entertainment:

1. planes, trains, and automobiles - I think every single Christmas gift is in the transportation category.

2. Fireman Sam - have yall ever heard of him?  It's a British clay-mation show that, for some reason, has both of my kids obsessed.  Netflix has it and for that I am grateful.

3. iPad/iPhone - admittedly, we have created a monster who gets MOST unhappy when it is put away.  When he is in detox {it's serious folks}, and we mention he can have it, he yells "hipad {iPad} hoooooooooray!" and goes running to the back, where it's hidden.

4. Paci and Sassy - his always-present pacifier and beloved lovey.  He's never far from them.

If Jack were stranded on a desert island, I have no doubt he would enjoy his time as long as he had those 8 items.

I love this boy!

Sick boy

The past 2 weekends have looked like this:

The only good thing about an ear infection?

staying in jammies ALL DAY and snuggles...lots of snuggles!

Pumpkin Patch!

This past weekend, in between all of the puking, we went to the pumpkin patch!  Last year, Jack sat nicely in his stroller and it was a fun and relaxing time.  This year?  Not so much.  I mean, it was still fun, but it was def. not relaxing.  That's ok though!  That's just the stage of life we are in and I just have to prepare for it and make these memories with my babies!

This first picture cracks me up...this slide is serious business.  Last year, Reese FLEW out of it.  This year, Jack face-planted.  Of course he got right up and showed no signs of being traumatized.

I kind of love that we come to a pumpkin patch and there is all this fun stuff to do, and yet my kids want to swing on a swing they have at home.

This year, our sweet niece Coraline came with us and yall, I mean, she is just the cutest thing ever.

Oh man, she is sooo stinkin cute!!!

I love this pic of Jack and Aunt B or Beeeeeee as brother says!

Another fun thing is the Corn Crib!  Jack was not a fan at first, but once he found out he could throw it?  He was all about it!

Love this boy!

Sweet girl!

Seriously.  A tractor.  The boy was in heaven!

By the time we made it to the actual pumpkin patch, my camera started dying so I didn't get too many pictures.  Also, it was hot! Kids were whining! But, I did get a few good ones.

"Look mama, I jump soo high!"

Jack picking out his "punkpin"

I would have loved smiling faces, but tops of heads are better than nothing. 

Love this picture!  So carefree and happy!

We can't wait to go back next year!

Parenting badge

I earned one last night.

Know which one? Vomiting.

The kiddos were supposed to be spending the night with B's parents. We get a call about 7 saying Reese had gotten sick. She said she was all better so we decided to wait and see if anything else would happen....
Duh, it happened again. Right after she had her medicine. She still said she felt better but we decided to go get her. Thankfully my in-laws kept Jack because I was worried we might be up late. Ha. HAHAHAHA.

She was good until 12 when she got sick again. Then again at 1:30. And then every 15-30 mins until 4 AM. She was so pitiful and would say "mama I'm gonna throw up one more time" and then apologize after each time. Bless her heart!

Of course she was up and ready to go at 7:45 this morning. If you're doing the math I basically slept from 4:30-7:45. Yippee!

Luckily, she's been fine all day and even though she hasn't really been hungry today, she's back to normal. We had planned a trip to the pumpkin patch and Reese's MO tends to be "get sick when there are important plans/events" (strep at Christmas every year, seizure on vacation, etc) so I was happy we got to keep our plans. I will post on the pumpkin patch later.

Who would have thought she was running on about 5 hours of sleep?

It's that time....

CHRISTMAS CARDS!!

I know, it's only October.  But, considering it takes me about a month to get a good picture with 2 children looking, smiling and just looking cute, I need to start early.

One place that always has the CUTEST cards is Tiny Prints.  They have adorable colors, fonts, picture layouts, etc.  Seriously, there is something for everyone.  My favorite are the Christmas Cards .

I love that there are so many options with different shapes and sizes for pictures. They have designs for newlyweds, newborns, and new puppies!

Here a couple of cards I thought were cute from Tiny Prints!

I can't wait to decide which card I'm going to use!
