So, i dropped my oldest off to school for the last time this year this morning! On one hand I've been wanting this for quite some time(so tired of waking a baby to bring to school, waking a baby to do pet sitting at the lunch hour, then waking a baby to pick up from school) but on the other hand I'm a very busy individual and as of tomorrow i will no longer have any pre set commitments for the first time in 9months.WHAT am i going to do with myself??????????

So, it would seem that we might and i stress might just be done with the remodeling stuff(besides the new slider) Chris is going to sand again(for the hundredth time)SUCKS! and hopefully all will look good and we can prime and paint this weekend.(Yeah) I go back to work tonight and ya know I'm just not feeling it. I only work VERY part time but still not feeling the need to return like i have with the other 2. I'm quite enjoying(when theirs not any wining, crying,fighting,mess making)my time home, esp with summer on the horizon. Oh well. Ari the awesome little man has finally achieved the all nighter(as i see them) and slept from 9:30ish until 6:25 this morning, Yeah little man you rock!!!!!! Where was this babywise(and Erin) with the first 2 i ask ya?! and ya know he only cries when he has a tummy ache or when he wants to go to bed. Honestly Erin i don't know if all would be so well here without your emails in those first few weeks, you were such a trooper with me, YOU ROCK. well the kitchen is calling and i need to make dinner while i have the chance.

cloths

Good evening all,
Why is it that you can't ever keep kids in cloths let alone the correct ones??? Next thing i know Isaac is in his t shirt,socks,winter jacket (thats to small) and underwear and then i spy Norah she has decided to help me make burgers and is wearing only a pair of boys "panties" on backwards no less, rubber gloves and is smashing some burger. These kids are crazy i tell ya.

Check out this cool Iris i have growing, what an awesome color. I thought it was going to be black until it opened up.

2 Norah funnies from this week

1)we are sitting on the benches in the kitchen and she says "mom don't burp my butt"

2) Chris "Norah you don't like my ice cream? is it because it has nuts in it"? Norah "Yes, I'm just a little girl"

farts

So i have decided that the "honeymoon" that was Norah acting more like her older brother "well behaved" is over, turns out that she is back to her old self and old ways and ya know it's not like I'm not a good mother, i do all the things good mothers do: color, stamp(which I'm not really fond of), paint,read, walk, stroller ride, go to parks and playgrounds, play play doh, really she is not bored she's just Norah and well.......... she's like a fart, when she's silent she's deadly!!!!! Have a good weekend all.

Norah

Already this morning!!, I'm packing Isaac's lunch and she comes to me covered in lotion of all things(hair, face,arms, cloths) argh!!!!!!! we get back from taking Isaac to school and i need to start laundry feed the cats and clean litter boxes(trash day tomorrow) so being the smart woman that i am i take her down with me to "help" well after i feed cats and start laundry i start the litter boxes and while I'm doing that she decides to "feed" the cats all over the floor i explain that cat food is expensive when you have 4 of them and that they were just fed and don't need more food "leave it alone"! back to cleaning, mind you I'm on a little chair just behind a dresser that we don't use thats being used as a blocker for little kids and litter boxes and she's on the other side, next i know it's too quiet once again and i look...... She has taken one of the just filled cat bowls and dumped it into the plug in water dish that i have down there for the kitties. So she gets a spankin and put in a spot and told to stay there while i finish up with the threat that if she moves she will get a spankin that will hurt and no play doh today!!!!!Well let me tell ya i turn around and she has found conditioner and is just getting ready to "play" with it............it's 9am.

Whew, I'll say it again Whew, busy days for sure. More work was done on the house hopefully next time it will be done. Norah has been a very good girl since the addition of Ari, not so naughty/mischievous, well that has all changed as of today what a number. We had to do a little food shopping and get Chris a birthday present and after the contractor got here we left. Well we decided to go to mcdonalds for some lunch on our way to mallie and roxies. Well she didn't want to come in bc she was eating and well that worked for me bc Ari was just getting up and i thought that she could keep him company while i went in. Apparently she got bored and thought it would be a good thing to take her chocolate milk and spit it out of her mouth out the window(it went down window and car door) and that apparently wasn't enough so she had to take the ranch dipping sauce and spread that all over the inside of her door and seat. This child is well aware that that was not a good thing to do and sorry to say it folks but she did get a spankin (not a good enough one bc no tears) and then was not so gently escorted to the bathroom to get cleaned up and directly to bed for nap.Seriously i wasn't in the house for all that long!! I don't think her feet even touched the floor. All the while Ari is awake in his seat just a smiling away happy as can be. Well i get the car unloaded and get him inside and still smiling. get him out of his seat and bam i got a wiff, this is by far the rankest kid i have the little dude is just fowl!!!!!!! he starts laughing at me as i change the first blowout he has given me, JUST NASTY!!!!!!!!! Why do they have to be all happy about it. It's a good thing my gag factor has improved with each kid or I'd be pucking for sure. Got all that taken care of, then bottle, play time then nap. Wrapped some presents then got a couple of kids up to get Isaac from school.(have i mentioned how excited i am for summer vacation) Chris's birthday was today the old man turned 35. we had the dinner he wanted(homemade pizza, crust and all) then got a tiny strawberry cheesecake sang to him and had him blow out 1candle. Norah wanted him to have slippers and Isaac wanted him to have a cd so he got both. It was a good time, just got the kids to bed and we are getting ready for some pistons basketball. I'm gonna post some pics from the last few days then some of tonight. Night all
