Funny, Funny Child

She never ceases to amaze me....

Yesterday evening we got back from our wonderful trip to Kansas. It was raining and all around cold so we got both kids changed into their pjs. ZM was sitting in his bouncy seat while CW was running around drinking her juice. But she kept stealing the paci from ZM. This has been an ongoing issue, she hasn't used a paci for over 6 months but suddenly she wants his. Finally in an effort to stop this we explained that she was a big girl and big girls get juice but if she wanted the paci then she couldn't have her juice. So she stole the paci and we took away her juice (yes mean mean mommy). She gave it back and got her juice back. This happened a second time. After this I commented to hubby that this was going to blow up in our face when she traded the juice for the paci. Not even five minutes later she walks up, hands me the juice, pulls the paci out of Z's mouth and takes off. running. giggling.

Yup that's my daughter...her mother's child!

Then this morning I was changing Z's diaper. Now you all know what happens when you change little boys diapers. I was really careful and kept it covered but I needed a new diaper cover so I was over looking in the laundry basket when I heard "splash splash splash" and hear C giggle. Hmmm. C in her sweetness thought Z would want to go nakie and took the diaper that was covering Z off. Pee all over my nightstand and the floor.

Again, that's my daughter!

My own creativity...

I am probably the least creative person you know. My friend Nat knits wonderfully beautiful things, my friend Meg makes her own diapers, our friend John takes great pictures (usually of my kids) and other friends create scrapbooks for their children....I do none of these! Now when CW and ZM are old enough I will be great at helping with homework but creative things like art are going to be at risk.

So you can imagine how incredibly proud I am of the fact that I made CW a tutu. Keep in mind I have been looking for a reason to get her a tutu for EVER. Hubby kept saying no. I finally, brilliantly if I do say so myself, figured out that if I made her be Tinkerbell for Halloween then I could get a tutu. But of course when I recommended Tinkerbell, hubby started getting all technical about it--he loves the Peter Pan story. And OBVIOUSLY none of the tutus I could find were up to 'his' standard. Since google is my friend, I figured I would just find an easy to make one and make one, cause obviously he wouldn't be dumb enough to criticize one that his wife so lovingly made lol. Luckily it is a rather easy project and I managed not to screw it--well at least I think it is perfect. It was so easy I made another one this weekend that is two shades of blue. But according to dear old Mother in law I made it too tight--thus too puffy! Luckily that wonderful baby of mine doesn't care and twirls around whenever you put it on her.

October

Have I mentioned that I love October. It is such a wonderful time of year, the weather is gorgeous. And there is BASEBALL! Being from Nebraska you would think we would be a football fan family but hubby is a KU fan so that destroys that...so we watch baseball.

We actually happen to be down in good old Kansas visiting family. We went out to eat lunch around noon today, keeping in mind the KU game started at 1130. The resturant was really empty so I commented to hubby that it was nice because no one was there due to the game. He looks at me and laughs and says they aren't busy cause it is a little early for the lunch rush, we aren't in Nebraska, life doesn't stop for KU like it does for the Huskers.

Have I mentioned Boston is winning against Tampa Bay....

Where, oh where, does the time go

I just realized that I have failed in all my blogging efforts the last couple of weeks (okay, lets say months just to be fair!). Between school and work my computer time has been severly limited.

Just to update you, I am no longer Pregers (YIPPEE). ZM decided to come three and a half weeks early so we had a great SEPTEMBER surprise! He is a wonderful baby and is doing very well despite being in the NICU for a couple of days. If CW would get rid of this fever our house would be golden. Especially since ZM sleeps through the night and so does CW when she isn't sick. *Yes you can hate me*

I promise to be more up on my postings!!

PS GO BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta love the race for OCTOBER...
