And Bear says...

Bear: Mom, is the ocean really five feet?

Me: Its a lot more than that.

Bear: Like ten feet?

Wordless Wednesday: The way kids think ;D

Lyon yelled to me, "Look Mom I disappeared!"

That is him underneath the green blanket.

;D

And Lyon says...

I was breastfeeding Sissy and Lyon came to sit by us.

He told me he needed to hold Sissy.

I told him no because she was eating and he couldn't feed her.

He told me that yes he could.

I told him that he couldn't because he doesn't have boobies.

He replied with,

"Yes I do have boobies, da boobies in da dwarwer!"

Contrary to popular belief...

Lol!

Okay probably not popular belief, but I just want to make sure that you understand me.

Even if it does sound insanely cheesy, this has to be said.

I love my children, with every fiber of my being!

With every ounce of energy I have!

I would do anything to protect them,

I would go to the ends of the earth for them.

I carried them in my belly as they grew from barely there to practically ripping me apart.

And then they did rip me apart as they were thrust from my loins!

And I would do it all over again.

I love them each, and I will do my best to raise them, to teach them, and to show them my love.

So contrary to what I sometimes put on facebook and twitter, or scream and cry to Superman about, or even sometimes post on this blog; I love my children, I love them no matter what they do, even when they are crying that they hate me. I love them.

Bear, Lyon, Fenix: if you have been reading all of my blog posts sometime in the future, remember that I do love you very much.

:D

And Bear says...

Me: Bear, Sissy is getting into your Valentines.

Bear: Oh! (looking at his Valentines) Oh my babies you could have gotten killed!

This one is a bit old, I found it written in my notebook, apparently I forgot about it ;D

Thats where the joy is....

As Moms, we complain an awful lot about what our children put us through.

We complain about sleep deprivation, we complain about potty training, we complain about teething, we complain about boogers, and poop, and spit up, other bodily fluids, we complain about snotty disrespectful teenagers, we complain about our children not listening to us, we complain about a million other things that I am sure I have yet to discover.

We often wish our children would just do this or just that. We want life to be perfect, our babies to sleep, and to learn what we teach them the first time we teach a lesson, or listen to and follow directions we give them the first time we give them.

We imagine what life would be like if things were perfect and our children too.

See but here's the thing, if it were all as we imagine, what would we laugh about, what would we talk to the other Moms about so enjoyably, what would we blog about.... The world would be an empty place without the sleep deprivation, toilet training, breast milk leaking, motherhood stories!

Don't you think?

Bedtime stories that never get finished

The kids that don't have a long enough attention span to sit through the whole thing

Not buying that really cute ( ) so that you can buy your kid that ( ) instead

Not Showering for who remembers how long

Wearing the same clothes for who knows how long

The kids that can't seem to wipe their boogers on a tissue but use you and the furniture instead!!!

And somebody said...

Me: What do you want for lunch?

Boy: Ummmm, I'm having smell.

Friday Fragments there is just too much swimming around up there

(This is me this morning, trying to keep my eyes open, lol!)

( I am seriously not trying to look so ornery, lol!)

This morning I am tired, no scratch that, I am exhausted! My eyes have rejected me. They don't want to open. I made the mistake of putting contacts in and now the urge to keep them closed is even stronger. Sigh, oh well. At least I can still type with my eyes half open. Though reading that's another thing all together. I am thinking I better have Superman edit this for me(done) to make sure there aren't 500 mistakes in my typing. Lol!

You know how there are those kids that are always talking about aliens, and aliens taking over bodies. Well I've seen them. You know, on Arthur "And now a Word from us kids" there is that kid that talks like he's an alien. You know what I am talking about. Don't deny it! Unless of course you don't.....

Anyway I think kids get this idea of aliens from their parents. I think this because there have been numerous times this week that I have wanted to accuse Lyon of being an alien because, good grief, he has never thrown so many fits and tantrums. It's just not normal. Alright it's normal, but he's making my stand on spanking harder and harder to stand by. Grrrr.

I really really really want to go lay down on my couch with a bowl of popcorn or a bag of chips, a Dr Pepper in my hand. Have I ever mentioned how comfortable my couch is? Well it is! The arm rest is just the right height to rest my head on without cricking my neck, the cushions have just enough give and cushiness, and it is long enough that my feet don't hang off the end. Though, as many of you know it's very beat up. To say the least. This week I've spent too much time on CSN.com, they have a large selection of furniture and oh my, just about everything else you can think of. Anyway, I looked at couch after couch, sofa after sofa. They are pretty! I want one! Someday though, someday....

Speaking of CSN.com, I am going to do a review on one of their thousands of products. Not a sofa though :( Still something awesome ;D

So stay tuned for that.

To end this rant of Friday Fragments,

My baby girl is nearly walking! She is getting too big too cute too fast!

For More Friday Fragments:

Have a fantastic Friday everyone, and an even better weekend!

And Lyon says...

"I found a match Mom! See dis misser tato an'dis misser tato's mommy!"

"Bear Graves over and out"

I didn't encourage this at all. This is all Bear. The clothes, the dialogue, the picture.

I told him where he could do a news report, and I made sure the camera was recording.

Then I left the room and let his news report unfold.

So worth watching!

I love how he starts everything with "And"

My favorite line is "And now its time for me to do the talk"

Lol!

I also love,

"And folks,"

Yep, Bear definitely cracks me up!

Oh, and that would be Lyon, near the end, yelling about wanting to watch another one show.

;D

And Bear says...

Bear: I wonder what Santa made for his husband for Valentines day.

Me: Santa is a boy, he would have a wife.

Bear: Santa is a boy?!!

Not so Wordless Wednesday: Imaginative airplane

If you ever wonder why my couch cushions are so beat up,

Know, that not only are they a hundred years old,

But they also are taken off my couch constantly to be used in various

imaginative creations.

In the picture Bear has imaginatively created an airplane.

Bear is the pilot.

Lyon is the passenger.

And Fenix is a bird flying by the plane.

She is too smart and awesome to get sucked into the engine so no worries there.

And Lyon says...

Bear and Lyon were sneaking out of their room, after bedtime, and trying to get away with hanging around outside my bedroom door. Superman went to send them back to bed. When he opened the door Lyon shouts to him,

"We on da mission!!!"

Oh, well in that case.....

What dreams may come

In the middle of the night last night.

Poor little Bear crept stealthily into my room and up into bed with myself and Superman.

So stealthily in fact that I didn't notice he was there until I woke-up curled at the end of my bed with no blanket. I looked over to find Bear in my spot taking up half the bed. Oiy. I rearranged myself climbing between Superman and Bear. I woke-up again later and must have startled Bear awake because suddenly he was telling me why he came to my bed.

"I just had a bad dream Mom. I came in and then Donald Duck came in and Pete. And then Pete broke your heart Mom, for real."

You could tell he was upset about it. I tried really hard not to laugh

because lets face it its funny.

I told him that it was okay because he could fix my broken heart for me.

He said,

"I did."

And that was that.

Superman carried him back to his bed, I got my spot back and all is well once again.

And Bear says...

Me: What are you looking for?

Bear: The present Jesus gave me.

Me: The present Jesus gave you is your body.

Bear: No I don't mean that present, I mean like a football.....in a box....

DLE2701V AKA my dryer...

Remember how I got a new dryer?

Well, I did, and I still love it.

Its a DLE2701V, ;P

I was thinking about it, while my dryer has a million options for drying clothing

(DLE2701V options A)

(DLE2701V options B)

(DLE2701V options C)

It is missing a few.

For example, where are the-

line dry,

tumble dry low,

lay flat to dry,

options?

I'd like to know...

;D
