The joys of boys...

Just a warning for the weak of stomaugh stop reading right here

Ok, we are sitting at the table well Donnie, Corrin, Kolette and I were after dinner. I had sent the boys to the tub. This is what I heard...

Ian: Connor do you want to smell my underwear? I just tooted and then pooped in them?(the pooping is what we call skid marks.)

I went in to talk to Ian. I only made it as far as the door and a quick peek before I had to leave or else my parental spiel was going to be interrupted by laughter(my own). I then went in and I picked up the underwear and explained what skid marks were. I also told Ian that was gross and not to say that.

Seriously that was not s/thing I had mentally planned for when I 2 boys. But I can see this is going to be quite the ride. I just have to say girls aren't that gross or at least I hope not.

Laughter is good for the soul

Just a cute pic of Corrin and her friend who was cracking Corrin up. I thought it was great hearing their laughter or in Corrin's case her cackle. I was accused of cackling when I was her age.

Bravery tooth style

Just wanted to show off Ian's lovely toothy smile. Since he has always been so shy I have put off taking him into the dentist for his own appt b/c I wanted it to be positive. I made the appt w/o thinking about it being spring break and marked it on the calendar. I lined up a friend to watch the kids while I took him and on my way to her house I realized that I hadn't had my customary day before appt call. So I called and they didn't even have an appt down for him. I told her that we did b/c I wrote it on the calendar and the calendar never lies of course I didn't tell her that. She called me back 2 more times until I told her I wasn't trying to be a pain but that I had lined up the kids w/someone to watch them and that my son was shy and he actually wanted to go in even knowing the kids were at his friends house. So I decided that I would just camp out in their office. It worked esp when they saw Ian's face it is alot harder to turn away a cute boy than his pushy mommy. So anyway we had to wait about a half hour and then we were in.

The hygenist was great and talked him thru it all and he watched in fascination. He did everything she told him it was great. I am so glad he got to go in. He has to go back next week to see the dentist since his dentist just had a new baby or rather his wife did. Priorities right where they belong. I am so thrilled it went so great. Maybe school won't be such a rough go like I thought. But did Ian really have to grow up overnight like he has? My baby boy is growing up.

bowling and onion skins

Kolette and her cousin Shelby acting goofy at the bowling alley

My mom and brother w/the kids after the Onion skins. Connor and Kolette had kisses on their cheeks from Connors PE/Music teacher who was in it. She kissed Connor and then Kolette said as we walked away where's my kiss. So we had to go back and get her a kiss too. Of course after she heard that Connor got to shoot the play gun she wanted to go back to do that as well. Those two are cut from the same cloth. The 2 blue eyed ones are much happier to be reserved. Makes life interesting

Connor for some reason thought he had to make kissy lips for this pic in case you missed the lipstick on the cheek. Mrs. Johnston told him to keep it all week till he goes back to school. He is a little worried since it wore off already and Kolette said she rubbed hers in.

Flipping the bird!

We were outside talking yesterday and Donnie said s/thing about flipping the bird. He was talking about s/thing and Corrin heard. I said you know what that is don't you? Corrin says "Yea!" and then she shows me how to flip the bird. She connected her thumbs together and waved the rest of her fingers. Hence flipping the bird...

more love stuff...

A week ago we had the "I love you do you love me?" issue w/Connor. Well I told Ian that we don't kiss girls other than our mom or sisters. He looks at me and says "I know, but I would let Marlie kiss me!" I looked at him in shock and said "No" and he said w/a sheepish grin "It was just a joke".

Ok, I am not that stupid but he sure thinks so. What am I going to do that boy only seems to pick girls for friends and the bossier they are the better. Maybe it is all a ploy for him to get kisses. We will see what Kindergarten brings.

Bowling fun and more

Today was a fun day for the kids. My friend went out of town and asked if her son aka Connor's best friend could stay the night tonite and play tomorrow. No problem and of course it made Connor's day as well. We decided to take the kids bowling so I asked if one of Corrin's friends could come as well. So we all went bowling. Amazingly enough this is the first time the kids other than Corrin have bowled. Now that they are smoke free I felt good about going. They had a blast. Now if only I could always bowl w/o the worry of a gutter ball. But if I could use that little thing that you place your ball on and roll it down then it would really impove my score. They were hallarious! We then went to ice cream and now the sugar high is preventing them from going to sleep. Think Amy think sugar before bed duh! Don't they teach that in Parenting for dummies? That only keeps them awake for much longer and then they will wake up too early in the morn. Then their moms will want to kill me. But they are all great kids and a joy to have over so life is good... Not to mention that spring break is here and the sun was out and we even got a bit sunburned on our necks. Spring! Spring! Spring!!!!
