I love you do you love me?

First off I would like to turn the clock back to when my kids were still all home w/me and innocent! I hate that they are getting big enough to deal w/all the emotional issues of boys and girls. Corrin has had a boy who likes her bugging her alot lately. He bugged her some when she was in 1st but they weren't in the same class so it was harder for him to have contact w/her. Now she has had him in her class for 2 yrs. He lays on her, pinches her, shakes her and generally won't stop touching her! Aaahhhh!!! Leave my baby alone. I hate that my sweet little girl has to be tough so he will get the point. I never thought I would have to tell her"Don't step on the foot it doesn't hurt as much as the shins" "If he really won't quit it you know where to kick him don't you?" "Make sure when you hurt him you say loudly DON'T TOUCH ME!" Honestly it is really hard when I go in her class to help and I see that boy to not get in his face and say "Leave Corrin alone do you understand me?" but I resist and hope he will just quit.

Now onto Connor. He is a very sweet boy and friendly to everyone. Now he has already picked out his wife and her name is Brooke. She is a very sweet little girl who lives in Tennessee. So she is safe from being a girlfriend. Yea! But our new neighbor girl invited our family to her sisters b-day party. She gave the invite to me so I felt a little obligated. Things go so busy I didn't think we could make it till Kolette cried that we weren't going to a party. So we go. Trinity follows Connor around and I thought nothing about it. But then I hear her mom say "We don't say that it is ok to like him but don't tell him you love him" Then she comes over to me and says that she told Connor "I Love you do you love me?" Luckily Connor acted like a guy and acted like he was deaf or couldn't hear her.
So when we get home I tell him "You understand we aren't going to play the I love you game right?"
He says very defensively "I didn't!"
He then says " But Trinity REALLY loves me and so does Summer"
I told him he was very lovable but lets just be friends w/girls it is more fun that way.

So then I take Connor to Ontario to get cleats that fit for soccer. I ask him about Trinity and Summer and he says "Summer almost kissed me and she always makes kissy faces at me." I asked what he does and he says when they act that way he just "Moves away" I told him "Good boy"

My babies are growing up and I am not ready at all. Ian starts school this fall and all he ever chooses for friends seem to be girls. What am I going to do then????????

Monday Monday la la la...

The beginning to a busy week. Went to the Chriopractor today and after throwing my back into pain 3 weeks ago I am feeling now like a human. Took Ian w/me and he was a perfect angel. The other little sunshine went to Joyschool. Made it so much easier. Told Ian to take s/thing to play w/and he took a lock, key and mini tape measurer. How easy can you get? Kolette would have HAD to touch everything and ask why couldn't she touch everything to the point I would need a massage from the stress of not relaxing when he is trying to crack me.

But my exciting and super cute news is Kolette started Ballet today. She was so cute and just loved it. Considering it was an hour long she paid very good attention. However having one of her favorite friends there Gracie made her slightly distracted. But what fun is anything if you don't have a good girlfriend to hold your hand? At one point the teacher asked them to line up. Now Gracie and Kolette are only 7 months apart but Gracie comes from tall genes and she is as tall as Connor. So Kolette is behind Gracie and holding her around the tummy which is shoulder level for Kolette and Gracie is reaching behind her to hold Kolette around the back. I took a pic on my camera phone and if I could figure out how to get it on my computer I would post it. Help Tiff I know you are a genius at this stuff. Anyhow it was so much fun to see her doing s/thing that was just for her. She had so much fun.

Now for sleep since the rest of my week will be hectic.

Happy Birthday Ian!!!

Today is my baby boy's 5th birthday! Wow, how time flies! This was taken a week ago and they were being goofy - shocker! Some of the wonderful things about Ian are he is just a complete sweetie. He will wait and hold a door open for me and today he wanted to open my car door for me before he got in. He will run to open the heavy doors at the school for me. He loves to get the laundry out of the laundry shoot and take to the laundry room and he isn't even asked. He is always the first to share whatever candy or treat he has w/anyone else esp. his mommy. If you ask to play with whatever he has as long as you use your manners he will share it. He is Kolette's protector and has been for Connor as well. I remember when he was 3 1/2 during a soccer game of Corrin's some kids were messing with Connor and so he yelled for Ian. Ian came over and started to throw sand at the kids and yell. It scared them off and then he was done. He went back to quietly playing with whatever he was playing with. He is a quiet boy and still quite shy but he is working on it gradually. He is just a genuine sweetheart and I adore him. I feel so blessed that God gave me the opportunity to be his mom. He has a heart of gold and I am thankful that I get to spend my days with him. I told him the other day he was getting so big and asked who said he could do that. He said "Not you!" Nope I am not in a hurry for him to grow up I love every moment I have with him. Thank you Lord for my precious boy!

Kolette's new haircut

Well these pictures were susposed to be switched the before pic is on the bottom and the after is on the top. She just loves it. She says she looks like Corrin's friend Kelsee. She tried to blow a bubble the other day and the entire piece of gum shot out of her mouth into her hair. Yuck! I tried ice and also butter but she has such thin hair and it was way too bad. So we got the new doo and she loves it. Now we will have to see how much she loves it when it won't make the same ponytails. But I think she is darling which is a Fancy Nancy word so Kolette approves. Corrin's friend Maya told her she looks "Fabulous" which is also a word Fancy Nancy says so Kolette is very happy.

I'm gonna teach Papa some manners

We were sitting at dinner and Ian burped. He smiles sheepishly and says excuse me. This is the conversation that follows.

Ian: Papa doesn't say excuse me when he burps. I am going to teach him to say excuse me. He needs to learn his manners.

Connor: Papa knows his manners he just doesn't use them

Kids you never know what will come out next...

Thursdays with Amy?

This is a cute idea I stole from Tiffani over at http://stillseekingsanity.blogspot.com who stole it from s/one else named Tiffany. My problem I don't have a name that starts w/a T. I will have to give it some thought and maybe I will find one. Anyway it is called "Thursdays with Amy" in my case.

I am thankful for my sweet Donnie who as 2 of my kids took turns throwing up last night he was there to help me out. I am also thankful for the shampooer I still have at my house to quickly clean up the mess that hit the floor. I am thankful no one has thrown up since last night.

I am listening to Kolette sing and Connor watch TV and my radio that is on upstairs that I forgot to turn off. Oops...

I am looking forward to soccer. I love to watch the kids play and have fun. I love watching how wonderful a coach Donnie is to the kids and how they respond to him. He is amazing and of course I am not bias at all.

Whats for dinner tonite? That is a good question. What will everyone's tummys tolerate? Maybe a fabulous meal of ramen noodles and toast. Yum! Be still my beating taste buds.

Missing... That is always a good question in this house. But after we found the 2 pairs of missing shoes there is hope. I am missing my sleep since I slept on the couch last night w/Ian in case he woke up sick. Sleep that would be soooooo nice.

Sickness X 3 or 4

We have been hit by the fever bug. My friends daughter was sick around my younger 2 a week ago. She got sick at the end of working on cookie dough so we had no way of knowing. So on Sat Kolette came down w/it and all it is is a fever. She only admitted to being sick when it got to 103 or 104. She hates to admit to sickness. Yesterday evening Ian came out w/a fever after going to bed. He has had a fever the entire time but acts like normal just a warmer version. I picked up Connor from school today and he gave me his hard earned skittle. He said he didn't feel good. Now he is asleep on the couch and we are waiting for the motrin to take over. Thank heavens for motrin and tylenol. They have saved our lives. Donnie has complained of a stomaugh bug and I dearly hope he keeps it to himself. The fever junk this time is totally manageable I don't want to clean anything up. I just shampooed my carpets I don't want them needing a cleaning quite so soon.
