Kid Art...

My son is super excited that M. Night Shyamalan is doing the Last Airbender Movie. Now for those of you whose kids watch NICK or read the books it will always be AVATAR: The Last Airbender. He drew this picture the other day.

Now my daughter all of a sudden while doodling faces drew Perry from Disney's Phineas and Ferb. That square blue thing with the tail is Perry or so I was told. The rest are her doodles...apparently she didn't like the one girl she drew.

Fight, Lie, Play Innocent...

Okay so my son (he's eight) and my daughter (she's 5) have been having issues with each other lately. She's bothering me...He's not sharing...You know normal sibling rivalry. Well my darling son gets rough with my daughter and when she tells, he says she's lying. He didn't do anything. Well I'm not deaf or blind and certainly not stupid, hell I have a little brother myself, so when those eyes come out (and moms you know the eyes I'm talking about) I can tell he's lying. So it takes but three minutes for me to get him to tell the truth. You would think by now he would know I can hear them fight. I can see the facial expression and know who is telling the truth and I remember the crap I tried to pull with my mom when I fought with my little brother. And I catch him or her if its her every time....but no we still fight, lie, and play innocent.

Questions?????????

It seems that the questions never stop. Every time I turn around one of my kids is asking a question. It doesn't matter if they know the answer they ask anyway. Or if they don't get the answer they are looking for they keep asking!

"Why is the baby's poop green?"
"Where are we going today?" (this is asked as soon as one gets out of bed)
"Can we go to the park?" (mind you they ask this on rainy days)
"Why is that this color?"
"Why do you have to do that?"
"What does that mean?"
"Do I have to have a baby in my belly when I get older?"
"Why can't boys breastfeed? They have boobies too."
"Why do we have to go to bed?"
"Do we have to eat that?"
"Can we have a snack now?" (This just after they say they are full and can't finish their dinner!)
"Why does the baby have to keep crying?"
"Why won't she leave me alone?" (my son on his 5 yr old sister)
"Why are there stars?"
"Can we go to the moon today?"
"Do we have to take a bath?"
"Why are their bees?"

And my list goes on and on......Questions 24/7

The Princess and the Pee...

So my kids have a bedtime of 8PM, and after I tuck them in (with the threat to my daughter, she's 5, that if she doesn't stay in her bed I won't play barbies tomorrow) with kisses and blankets snug, I decided to play around on the internet. Now I've read a lot of mommy blogs and I think of some of the adventures my kids bring to my life, so I decide I'm going to do my own mommy blog! I go to blogger to start designing my blog, playing with titles and fonts and color. I hear my daughter run, yes run, down the stairs. I hear her run into the bathroom and then back up the stairs. I think okay, yes! She went back to her own bed this wasn't a MOMMY I can't sleep night (yes I know the night is still young). Two minutes later I hear her elephant feet again running down the stairs, but then I see her run past me and into the kitchen. Now my mistake was pausing for the second to think did she really just run into the kitchen. So I get up and walk out to the kitchen to find her with her underwear down at her feet and a puddle on the floor. She missed the big bag of sugar I just bought and had sitting in a grocery bag on the floor by five inches. So after I cleaned her up, got her to bed, and then helped my husband clean up the mess (we had pee prints from her little feet showing the way to the bathroom), I sat down and thought what a way to start the blog, The princess and the pee!!
