Y’all, she’s something else. I asked if I could take some pics of her and she came with me reluctantly and then would NOT let me stop taking pics! She got super goofy at the end.

Tonight we stopped at Wendy’s and Mr. Fox ordered the kids Double Stacks. As he was handing them out, R3 said, “I want my bubble snack!” R2 will ask you if she can “chub your cheeks” – meaning she wants to pinch them. LOL R3 grabs your cheeks and says, “bubba cheeks!!” R3 had a felt reindeer head and was holding it upside down saying it was an “applepus” – it kinda does look like an octopus like that! LOL Mr. Fox grabbed R3′s nose and told her he had it in his hand – you know, the trick where you put your thumb between your fingers. She stopped, looked at his hand, looked at him like he was mental and said, “Uh uh, that’s your FINGER!” Last night she went with Seester to look at cars and run errands. At one of the dealerships they went inside and the owner had two small dogs (Dachshund and Yorkie) and R2 fell in love. She asked Seester if the Dachshund was a boy or girl and when Seester told her boy she asked how she knew that. Seester told her because she could see his penis – and explained when asked that it was on his belly. The man there looked at Seester like she was crazy, of course (we’re used to that) and then R2 asked where the vulva would be and Seester told her under the tail. R2 lifted up the Yorkie she was holding and said, “Oh that’s not a bellybutton, it’s a penis!” Seester and the man found that hilarious and Seester agreed that, yes, they were both males. R1 told me that he heard God speak to him the other night, telling him to do the right thing. Friday night Seester came over to put the kids to bed/babysit while Mr. Fox, MIL and I went to a movie. As she was putting the kids to bed R1 told her his story about God speaking to him. She told him how awesome that was. Then she told the kids to stay in bed and go to sleep. R2 said, “But what if I have to go potty?” Seester said, “No, I just told you to go potty before you got in bed.” R2 said, “But what if God tells me to go potty?” Yeah, this is what I’m dealing with, people. I haven’t quite found my groove yet with all the activities, etc we have going on. I’m not used to being so busy and while I love it in some ways, I think we might have a bit too much going on. Working on that. I have to get these things my kids do in writing so I won’t forget, because I have the worst memory ever. So this post is a mish-mosh of things. First, my R3. Her vocabulary astounds me daily. Not even 2.5 and she speaks almost as well as my 4yo. The other day she was being fussy and wanting to nurse but I have limited her to bedtimes, because she wants to nurse instead of eat. So anyway, I was naming off things for her to eat and she was saying no to every one. So I said, “How ’bout some poop?” and she said, “That’s nasty, Mommy.” NASTY? Where did she get that word? Not gross or yucky but nasty. Seester and I were quite blown away. God has given me a wonderful son. I had a really hard time when I was pg with R2 and I have worried for a while that I damaged my relationship with him. It was rough. But through lots of prayer and letting God work on me and R1 – I can see that He has used it for our good. R1 is an amazingly sweet and loving little boy and it just warms my heart to see how sweet he is to his sisters.
Yes. This is R1 putting R2′s hair into a ponytail! *swoon* I know, right? My friend Kristen posted this recipe on her blog a while back and it was a huge hit. I had forgotten about it until my MIL told me how much she liked it – and since she’s here visiting I’m making it for dinner tonight. I’m trying to get back in gear and start cooking actual food again. I went through a slump there for a while and we were eating junk most days. After reaping what I have sown I’ve learned my lesson (again) and am back in the kitchen. The sparkling kitchen that my amazing MIL cleaned for me today. So, it’s South of the Border Lasagna for dinner tonight and here’s the plan for the rest of the week: Breakfast: No bake oatmeal cookies Lunch: cuc/tom/onion salad – already marinating! Dinner: South of the Border Lasagna So now that that is posted I can tell you about my crazy afternoon. Yeah, you’ll probably laugh. R1 and I loaded up headed for the safety study. The van wouldn’t start. Mr. Fox had taken it out and put it in his car and when he does that it doesn’t want to cooperate. So I got MIL to jump me off and we headed to Mr. Fox’s work (on his orders) to switch out vehicles and give him the grocery money. He left his phone at his desk and so he didn’t hear me call the 50+ times I called while sitting in the parking lot waiting. Then, the van ran out of gas. Yep. Finally we went inside (someone didn’t close the door all the way) and waited. I called and cancelled our appt because there was no way we were going to make it. I got the keys from Mr. Fox and R1 and headed to Starbucks. I had intended to finish my grocery list while waiting on R1 to do his study but since we didn’t go I had to improvise. So we had drinks and chatted in Starbucks while I finished the grocery list, and then we headed to Publix. Rushed home from Publix, dumped the groceries (noticed my MIL had been cleaning my kitchen the entire time I was gone) went back to meet Mr. Fox at work with a gas can and help him jump off the van. Success! I headed BACK to Starbucks to get a thank-you drink for MIL. I want to tie her up and make her stay. Or maybe just disable her truck so she can’t leave. I can’t seem to find the time to dump, edit and blog each days’ pictures. My blog needs to be 2 days behind so I can keep up! LOL On top of that I haven’t been able to find the chord to my P&S so it hasn’t been dumped in 3 weeks! Some days I only use that one. So… yesterday. We got up and had to be in Homewood by 10:30 so we skipped school because Mommy is not a morning person. We headed to Aldi because we are rarely up that way and scooped up some great deals. Then we went to (shh!!) McDonald’s for lunch and I was a bad mommy who let her kids get Happy Meals. (I know, I know…) Then we stopped at the Dollar General because I needed some packing tape (yeah, I ended up spending $40!). I let each kid pick something, I do owe them allowance after all. R1 chose a ninja:
R2 got a jewelry set:
And R3 picked a baby doll. After nap Mr. Fox came home and headed out back, accompanied by R1 and R3 to do some work on the pool. About 10 minutes later R1 comes in yelling for me to bring my camera because R3 found a frog:
She put the frog in a bucket and then wanted him back in her hand but when I tipped the bucket over and he touched her hand she jumped and hit the porch and scurried off under the edge. She said, “I’m sorry Mommy!” ROFL!! I told her it was fine, she didn’t do anything, that we could try and get him. That didn’t go so well. I got him to back onto the porch but R1 got in the way and he freaked and jumped off the porch. R1 went after him but he got into a hole in our deck.
I told R1 to stick his hand in there and feel around for him, but he told R2 to do it, chicken that he is.
Mr. Fox ran up to Publix to get dinner tonight and while he and R3 were gone R1 and R2 decided to make up dance routines to songs on R1′s mp3 player that he hooked to the speakers in my room. They were so excited, I had to get stern to convince them they had to wait until after dinner to show us. R1 asked Mr. Fox to hold the flashlight on him while he danced and he turned out the lights. They had so much fun and were so cute. They took turns and had even picked a song for R3 to dance to even though she had been gone.
“Peter, James and John in a cell phone.” I’m still laughing and it was yesterday that she sang it. |
