Baby Leg

When Emrick was born, my aunt sent a gift of baby leggings and I totally fell in love with the idea. The pair she sent was purple and white striped and I didn't have anything in tiny baby size to match. So I went and bought a pink pair that will match literally everything in this baby's closet. And look how freakin' cute they are! I love love love them and can't wait to dress this child every single day and use the crap out of these baby legs! Also, I can't wait to go buy more baby legs! I am also going to buy a pair for Jacob. Sounds crazy, but they sell boy versions. As noted, he is potty training and wonders around the house naked on the bottom most of the time so he can remember to use the potty when ever he has to. With a pair of cute boy baby legs he will keep his legs warm while not having to take pants down every ten minutes to pee in the toilet. Genius.

Well...

This is my fancy new sink. Because yesterday when I was woke up by my fabulous son the old one had a huge chunk of it missing off the corner. Also there was poop in my hallway. Yesterday was not a great day. I know this looks like a regular sink to most people, but compared to what the old sink looked like, this sink is Gucci. Seriously, our old sink was ghetto. Straight out of the East side.

Because yesterday (all of last week, or perhaps the past couple months) were so terrible, I had to add a fun, adorable picture of my oldest baby having fun in the tub. He does have fun a lot. Just because there aren't pictures of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Tomorrow my whole family leaves to go to Las Vegas for my brother's wedding. We are not going to be joining them. We couldn't spare the money for the trip and also when everyone was buying tickets I was still pregnant and unsure of when girl baby would make her appearance. So we opted out. We are bummed to not be there because I love my brother and my soon to be sister-in-law. But, hard choices have to be made sometimes. So, here's wishing my family safe travels and a fun and cherished wedding day.

New Glasses, New Haircut

If you knew how I got this picture, you would be laughing hysterically. I was mostly just trying to show you my new glasses and haircut but I didn't do a very good job. Sorry.

Super Gross Alert:

If my son doesn't quite pooping on the carpet, I am gong to box him up and ship him to Germany.

A Friday in the Making...

Well, the good news is that it is Friday. Other than that my day is pretty well crap. I have the worst headache all day and Jacob is LOUD and Emrick wants to be held and snuggled all day. I got my new glasses. The prescription was a lot stronger than my old ones and it took twenty-four hours to get in. So I picked them up last night and had them fit. They told me to wait until this morning to wear them exclusively because the prescription is so much different. So I went to put them on this morning and they are way too tight on the one side. I need to take them back and have them refitted. Bummer. We went to story time today and Jacob was pretty well behaved. We left Emrick with my mom at her house so Jacob and I could go alone. When we got back to my mom's house he was the loudest, naughtiest kid ever. We came home so he could have a nap but that didn't work out. I should have known better. Burger works tomorrow with is such a bummer for me. Hopefully these kids calm down and sleep and behave tomorrow. Wish me luck.

A Little Poem

Mother, oh mother, come shake out your cloth.
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth.
Hang out the washing and butter the bread.
Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue (lullaby,rock-a-bye,Lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due (pat-a-cake, darling, and peek-a-boo).
The shopping is not done and there's nothing for stew.
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo.
But I'm playing 'Kanga' and this is my 'Roo'.
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue? (lullaby, rock-a-bye, lullaby loo).
The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs.
Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.


Obviously, I didn't write it. But I found it on a website and thought it was lovely. Just wanted to share it. Yesterday Jacob did much better using the potty. I broke down after Monday and bought some Pull-Ups. He pooped his pants three times on Monday and I couldn't handle it any more. So yesterday he wore Pull-Ups and didn't pee in them once. He also pooped in the potty! So I am feeling better about it today, like we are making some progress. Thank goodness. Emrick is being a little pistol today. She cried all night last night. Well, she slept well from nine until twelve-thirty then ate a bottle and cried the rest of the night. Finally around six-thirty this morning she fell asleep. But then Jacob woke up and woke her up. We have been having great fun today! I put her in her swing and she has been sleeping there for a while now. Another thank goodness. I am getting ready to shower (hopefully) because I have an eye appointment this afternoon. I am going to a place called Vision4Less and they say it's a one hour service. As in I will get my eyes checked and pick glasses and come back in an hour to pick them up. Like one hour photos. Cool, huh? I will let you know if that's how it works out. Possibly post a pic if I get new frames.
