Christmas Stockings

Take note that my nephew has everyone at gunpoint at this moment. Ah, the spirit of Christmas!

Leaning Tower of Angels!!!!!

So it wasn't until after the tree has been put up and decorated when I notice that our tree is leaning ALOT! Oops....oh well, what memories can be drawn!

The Green Kitchen Monster

Does anyone ever get the feeling that you are being watched? Or just a funny feeling that something was off? Well today I know that I was being watched, take a look at what was taking peaks at me! No matter how you move, it still watches you! Pretty creepy huh!











I am not sure how the eye got stuck to the wash cloth, but I didn't even notice it until I just happened to set the wash cloth down right after I stuck it in soapy water and this is what I found staring back up at me! Talk about your weird happenings.

The All Around Husband Award

Okay ladies, your eyes are not deceiving you, Louis truly is doing CRAFTS!!!!! Well, to some extent! What a wonderful husband I have to help me when I am in crunch time just days before Christmas! Thanks Honey!!!! (I won't tell anyone that you are domesticated to some degree)

Bedtime Stories

Our FHE tonight was about feeling the Holy Ghost and knowing when to recognize it.

Conversation between Allyson and Mommy tonight at bedtime.

Ally: "Mommy, I really need to talk to you."
me: "About what sweetie?"
Ally: "Sometimes it is really hard to obey and sometimes it is hard to be a mommy"
me: "You know what Ally, you are right!"
Ally: "Maybe you and I can work on it together."
me: "I think that I would really like that Allyson. How did you come up with this?"
Ally: "The Holy Ghost told me to tell you".
me: "Well you know that the Holy Ghost is pretty powerful and maybe we should do what he
says, huh"
Ally: "Yep, I love you mommy!"
me: "I love you to sweetie!
Ally: "I hope that you have a good rest tonight and you feel better tomorrow".
me: "Thanks Allyson!"

Out of the mouths of babes!

Stinky Situations

Those of you who are a bit queezy or easily nauseated, I hope that you take my caution to the wise. Yesterday I was trying to take care of 3 sick boys and one sick mommy, plus clean my house and do laundry. Well I finally had decided that I wasn't winning the battle. Anyway, I noticed that Dylan had a stinky diaper and that I needed to change him, so I go into the other room to get the wipes and diapers, when I returned there was no Dylan. I am thinking, okay he knows it is diaper changing time. Anyone with a 2 year old, or at least in my house, diaper changing is a chore. Literally having to chase and WWF wrap to get the boy to sit still. I am looking for Dylan at this point only to find him in the bathroom no diaper sitting on the potty seat, smeared up his back and down his legs and yes a little on his face and now on his hands was poop. All over the toilet seat, potty seat! YUCKY!!!! I said all that a sick mommy could say who was pleased to see her 2 year old attempting to get on and off the potty by himself, "Dylan, are you serious! Good job for sitting on the potty, but next time let's tell mommy so that she can help you". Need less to say, after that was bathtime! Yeah Dylan, Boo Mommy for having to clean it up~
