"Tookin my Take" puts me back on the couch
It feels tedious to go over the details.
Vinegar, sprinkles, flour, sugar, measuring cups, icing, cupcake cups, and beef bouillon.
You get the idea.
The boys saw his birthday invites I am about to send out... through the night found the decorations...
He was just helping by "TOOKING MY TAKE!!!"
With vinegar and beef bouillon apparently...
and without icing because he had eaten that just straight away.
I guess it is back to the couch.
*sigh*

Random.. yet again
We have been so busy with getting this house sell ready.... but you know what.. we are done... it is on the market... it is on realtor.com and a sign should be in the yard today.
Lets hope it sells quickly. Lets hope that it doesn't take many evacuations of 4 humans and 4 animals to get someone to buy.
Now... maintenance mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My mom and Tra have been such big helps with getting the house ready... they have spent many of days painting, and cleaning and all of that. I love them for it... I could never repay it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found out that a friend of mine has been waiting until we could get together to tell me she was pregnant... she wanted to surprise me and some more soccer buds...
she is due in 10 weeks.
She LOOKS like she is like 20 weeks.
She looked wonderful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We finally did our income taxes and got them submitting and those funds should be hitting our savings account soon. I love income tax time.
LOVE IT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I almost had round 3 of the plumber coming out.... and I caught the culprit wet handed too.
He had push and flushed 1 rag... he was going for a second.
Thankfully... it came out with the plumbing snake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of snakes....
The oldest wants one... a real one for his birthday.
We are going to take him to a pet store to handle one to see if it is a for real want.
and yes, if it is, we are considering it... We might let Nana buy one for him.... WITH a few ground rules.
1) it is a CAPTIVE BREED ONLY Ball Python that is a baby when we get it.
2) it comes with everything it needs... including a double locking aquarium.
3) I can't be responsible what happens if it touches me.
4) I want it to be fed frozen mice... not a real one that will squeak when captured.
5) The boys do NOT get to watch it eat.

Our Ninja is getting ballsy
Last night putting the boys down was typical. D goes down and is almost happy to be back in bed, and G fights begging for various things like having to pee, water, dada.. whatever so he doesn't have to go to bed.
After a few punishments for getting out of bed, he seems to have settled in the monitor and nothing happened for all of 10 minutes... this usually tells us he is good to go to sleep.
So at that point, we began some trim painting in our bedroom and bathroom. We bring the monitors in there with us, but overall, hear nothing out of them. After about an hour of trim painting... I decide to take a break... and so does J.
J walked into the kitchen first...
"CAN I HELP YOU SIR?!!"
I think.. HOLYCRAPAREYOUKIDDINGME!!
He had tried to make alot of coffee
Opened several of the spare goodie bags left over from the birthday party
Gotten a few cups down for a drink
and... this.
He was covered and sticky.
He was multicolored.
He did something I had always dreamed of... one bite of everything JUST TO SEE if it taste different.
He was put to bed and me and J were left scratching our heads cleaning the kitchen.
Yes, we had forgotten to turn the alarm system on his door on. And we discovered that the monitor he has doesn't alert you went he turns it off at the base...
And I officially hate having a split bedroom house.
And I am going to take the Pedi advice and get THIS.
After putting G back down... we were cleaning and just trying to wrap our brains around the fact that he did this while we were awake and in the house...
J broke the silence
"You know, he is getting really observant"
'Why do you say that?'
"Well, as much sugar as he poured out, he sure knows how his momma likes her coffee."
'A funny!! Nice'

Parties all weekend
We celebrated D turning 2, but J and I also went to a surprise party for one of my best friends, Kim. She turned 30 and her inlaws threw here a surprise 70's party.
She was shocked and surprised.
She loved it.
And I love her... hope she had a great one.

Time for another random
Emmilu - 3 men in the house.. sometimes is very fun... other times you are in real need for a female conversation. Call me and we will take advantage of each other in that way. We can talk making baby food and cloth diapers.
Just get use to fart laughing times 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never thought this phrase would ever in a million years come out of my mouth, but I will say it...
"I was awaken from my morning to sleep in to a grown man singing 'can you teach my alligator manners' at the top of his lungs in a high pitched, ear bleeding tone... but it woke me laughing".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just recently uploaded pics from the camera... there was 2 videos of my label maker.... like 3-4 minute videos... of just my label maker.
I didn't take them.
J didn't take them.
But we are not going to point blame... but I have to GUESS it was part of someone's late night adventures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of G (believe me.. we were talking about him)... *knock on wood* he has not come out of his room and played in 2 weeks... he hasn't TRIED to come out and play in about 5 days...
progress maybe...
And speaking of progress.... for 2 years we have been consistently taking the boys to the nursery at church, or to the class that they need to be in... either way, every Sunday, within 15 minutes of them going in, we have a worker coming to find us out of the sermon to come get our crazed children because of various reasons;
1) they are trying to get out and are letting other children out.
2) he is making himself sick crying
3) he just won't stop crying
4) he just refuses to stay
It has been so frustrating...
But guess what??
Out of the blue last Sunday, G decided that he wanted to be in there.. didn't cry.. didn't try to get out, and didn't want to leave when we came to get him....
It shocked us so bad.. it was worrying us.. but definitely not enough to stop it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lady that just had the octuplets... and already had 6, including twins, at home... in her 2 bedroom home that she shares with her parents... because she is single and is obsessed with babies (according to the grandmother) and convinced a doctor to give her extreme fertility treatments... and she is only 33 years old... and is apparently crazy...
People like her piss me off... and her momma should have slapped her long ago.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you know putting a new coat of paint and changing the trim can really change the look of a house.. like completely different...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fact that all 24 digits are working is what makes go "wow". But didn't Goliath have 6 digits on each hand and foot too?
1 Chronicles 20:6
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't believe this was over 2 years ago...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G has been denied by Early Intervention... no delayed enough.
D on the other hand, by my surprised, has been accepted. Apparently his communication and cognitive levels are at least 25% delayed.
I am shocked.
He is chatty Cathy... but apparently that is not good enough.
My biggest concern is his cognitive levels being so delayed... that is what engineers like me thrive on and having him delayed bugs me a bit...
ok.. maybe not so shocked.
