My kids & their filthy music

Lily has been spending crazy amounts of time like this lately. I am sure our septic system has reached its toilet paper quota for the year. You may question my sanity in potty training a not even 2 year old. I didn't choose this she just really loves it. And the good part is that I am not stressed out with high expectations because of her age, but I am secretly hoping that after a week of this we can go back to stress free diapering.

I can't complain too much because she is doing a pretty good job of it. However the filthy music that I have had to listen the last week is really getting to me. The routine seems to be that after the bathroom thing she watches the "potty show". Every song of course refers to pee and poop in some new and exciting song genre- regae, ballad, and up beat. Think of the controversy a 10 second potty scene caused on God's Army and that made it a PG movie. With all the scene time spent in bathrooms on this show it must make it at least PG-13. Luckily we went to the library and got "potty bear" to spice things up a little bit new pee and poop songs and now the characters are puppets instead of real people.

Speedy Gonzales and the Black Stretchy Pants

Tues April 6 started as any other day. We woke up and went to a doctors appointment for the girls. That afternoon when I got home I was starving. I ate way too much and then soon got a headache that I blamed on the chocolate dessert that I ate. After resting for a while the phone rang and it was a neighbor who started off the phone call saying "I was hoping that you wouldn't answer because you would be at the hospital. I laughed at her and said no way I have at least two more weeks left. After the phone call about 6:30 Dave told me our goat had had a baby but had died so we called all the kids out and told them about it and we buried it. Then we had a late dinner and put the kids to bed. About 5 minutes later I had a contraction. I thought weird and Dave told me it was just goat sympathy pains. So as I had a few more sporadic contractions I convinced myself that it was just braxton hicks because there was no way that they were "real." I sat down and watched AI ...

Lily and Matt and the destruction of a whole box of kleenex Tom Ari in the tree Matt's birthday

Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...
