Just call me Mommy beardie

I think I would make a good lizard mom. Puff has kind of taken over our attention. Of course we still have our everyday stuff to do but the household stuff is slow to get done. If I can't find the kids or even Chris I know where to look. We can't get enough of holding Puff or feeding her. It's pretty cool to watch her eat.

We've already had her make a run for it. Taylor was holding her and Puff jumped off her leg. Freedom! We did get her back into the tank safely after she hung out under the dresser.

All in all the whole family is loving having a bearded dragon. Spencer did ask when she'll breath fire. He's convinced she needs to be a bit older.

I hate disappointing my kids

But sometimes you have to. When Chris went to get Quinten from Sunday School this past Sunday, his teacher let Chris know that they prayed for our baby. In a bit of shock Chris asked what baby. The teacher said Quinten had told the class we were having another baby and wanted to pray for it. She felt really bad when Chris informed her we were not having another baby. Now that is a sure way for a rumour to start. Q has been talking about wanting a baby lately and we've had to explain that will not be happening. Although we didn't go into details as to why it won't be happening. I guess now he'll be praying for a miracle.

Man kids crack me up.

Another change

I figured with the snow we got and the freezing cold weather that came with it, the current background is appropriate.

I was reminded at my eye appointment this week about what Quinten said about my eye pictures. The doc said he hasn't forgotten it and it keeps him laughing. I think the kid is obssesed with boobs, already.

Anyway I know sometimes we all need a little laugh. And if that is you today think about what Quinten said and imagine how embarrased I was.

Have a great, hopefully not too cold, Monday.

Kids say the darndest things

All parents could write a book with all the things our kids say. I had an eye appointment this week and the assistant took a picture of my eyes which showed up on the doc's computer as 2 round things. Quinten kept talking about the doctor looking at my boobies all while I'm trying to get him to stop. As the doc was looking at the eye picture Quinten said it again. This time the doc heard him. He had never heard that one before but said Quinten was right they did look like boobs. Then gave him a high five. I guess his fixation has started already.

A lost treasure

I was feeling some what motivated today so I tackled the junk cupboard. Everyone has one right? Well I'm glad I did because I found an untouched $25 Starbucks card. I'm sure the barista in the drive thru thought I was nuts. I acted as though I had one the lottery. Well the coffee lottery at least. It's been a great day so far. The kids have been pretty good today and then coffee that I didn't have to pay for all while listening to Christmas music. It's been good.

Just say no to eggs

Well tried having a poached egg again. Yuckarama. Must have been a fluke that I liked it. I will resume eating my eggs either scrambled or in omelet form.

Now for the important stuff. Spencer has finally cut his first tooth. And he is a biter, Yowza. He is now army crawling, backwards crawling and getting up on his knees. I'm sure by the end of the week he will be almost real crawling.

Taylor and Quinten continue to amaze me with what they are learning. If you get a chance ask Taylor to tell you some knock, knock jokes. This is one of our favorites. (the joke was originally told to me by Steve. Thanks Steve we've really enjoyed it.)

Knock, Knock!
Who's there?
Pile up.
Pile up who.
HeeHeeHee!

I know I'm such a kid.

Well I am going to get back to the hockey game. Happy Monday!

Oh Dexter....

how I long to watch you. Recently Chris and I have been watching the tv series Dexter. On Shaw on demand it is unedited and free, and we can also watch them whenever we want. Or so we thought. There are 24 episodes and on Saturday night we watched episode 23. Chris fell asleep so I didn't think it would be fair to order the 24th one and watch without him. Sunday we went to order the last episode and it is gone from shaw on demand. In hind sight I should have ordered it and we could have then watched it. (Once you order you have 24hours to watch.) NOw I am on the hunt for it. If I have to buy the series I will. I even looked again today to see if maybe they put it back on. No such luck. I was really into the show. Very dissapointed am I.
Today was vaccination day for Taylor and Spencer. Taylor was adament that she would not be getting a needle. Well she was right about a needle. She was lucky enough to get 2. Boy did she fight it. For a little girl she sure is strong. Spencer wasn't too thrilled about his either but it didn't help that the poor kid is sick. Spencer weighs in at 15 lbs 7 oz and 25 and 3/4 inches. Taylor is 35 lbs and 39 1/2 inches.
Last night we had a little camp out in the bonus room. The kids thought it was so great. (Taylor's words.) We had Subway up there and for those that know we don't let them eat on the carpeted areas very often. That in its self is a treat. THey got to have chips and pop, in the can. Another treat. THen had banana boats. Yummy! I think the kids liked having the whipping cream sprayed in their mouths better than the banana boats. We then watched a movie and all slept out on the floor. I didn't have a great sleep. It was the one night that Spencer got up lots. The kids slept great though. They had so much fun they asked if we could do it again tonight.
That's all for now. Who knows what the next days ahead hold in store.

Kids say the darndest things

This morning Taylor came into our bed, too early. She kept saying something stinks. Then she looked at me and said "mommy you have bad breath. Turn your head over there." Kids are so honest. She's lucky I didn't breathe my dragon breath on her.
I got the phone call I've been waiting for, for the last couple of weeks. My family Doctor does not see obstetric patients, but my ob doesn't nornally see his patients till they are about 2o somethings weeks along. That poses a problem. I need to be seen by somebody. I have an appointment set for June with my ob but it took some convincing for him to see me the whole way through. I know he is super busy, but it is nice to not have to switch Doctor's in the middle. Normally it probably wouldn't matter if I saw an ob or not, but because I've had 2 c-sections a 3rd is inevitable. It sucks but what can I do. Nothing. Wow that was a lengthy way to get that out.
I know it has been a week since a poop story. Quinten thought you guys would want another one so he provided that entertainment today. I left the kids with my mom this morning and she thought because he had just pooped he wouldn't poop again anytime soon. So therefore wouldn't need duct tape. Well he did. Luckly I caught him in the early stage of playing so he didn't make as big of a mess. I'll have to post a picture of his super hero belt, as I like to call it. Maybe I should start drawing pictures on it. You never know it could become a new fashion trend.
That's been my day. Chris is off this weekend to a hockey tournament. Hopefully the kids cooperate for me.
On my last post sandra commented about women who eat ice cream have an easier time getting pregnant. I actually heard that too. And we all know how much I love ice cream. I wonder if it really is true. Who knows.
Later!
Peace out!
