My lil monsters

There is a reason you get an update once every 3 months. I love those little gremlins though. I must assure you though, that I am totally kidding when I call them that. I couldn't live with out them. They bring so much joy and laughter. Of course, this also comes with tears and frustration. Like, the monster in the closet. Never really thought I would have a kid like that. Now I have one that refuses to go to bed and is honest to God, loosing sleep over these so-called monsters in her closet. Or the littlest one that things bath time is a good time to see how fast she get start running while she is in the water. I come out of bath time probably more wet then they are. I have to bring in a towel for myself. My work is never done with them. From the first minute they are up, until well after their little sleepy heads are fast asleep, I am on the move. Maddison throws food as far as she can when she's decided she is done eating. I tell ya, that kids got an arm on her. And did you know there is a lot more that a vaccuum WONT pick up than what it WILL pick up?? The lessons you learn. One I have not learned or figured out, that you may be able to help me with, is how my 4 year old got red marker on her butt. HOW? How does this happen? Did she go to the bathroom and do it? Who knows. Our best guess is she went potty with a marker in her hand and thats where it came from (The mark is not consistant with that, so I'm not convinced). I have been getting a lot of questions latley of what she can and can not say. She's smart enough to know when new things she hears from kids are questionable. It's almost like she knows they are bad words, but if she asks me, she gets to say them. So for now "WHAT THE SHOOT" , "HECK", and "SHUTUP" are not nice words in our house! HAHA! Oh, and while we are on it, did you know that Donkey say's damn in Shrek? Never noticed that before I head her screaming it. So just a little FYI. I have seen the movie a million times and never noticed that word. Hmm. Interesting :) .

So I leave you with the promise that when I am slow at work with nothing to do, I will come and update this more with the little quirks of my kids. See you in a few months!! LOL!!
