Colton's Birthday Card From Class

Colton's classmates (all 3 years old) made him a card for his birthday.  They are all very cute, sweet drawings until you see what my son drew.  Hmmmm...Interesting to say the least!  Kraig and I both laughed a lot at this!  Good memories for when he is older!

Well...lets just say he is all boy!  LOL

Mommy I Flushed It!

This past Monday we had a first in our house.  The kids and I had been painting so Colton and I were in the bathroom washing our hands.  I washed his hands and noticed paint was on his shirt so I took his shirt off and threw it in the floor while I washed my hands.  I heard him say "Unna flush it" and I know he likes to flush the toilet (which didn't have anything in it thanks goodness) so I said "Ok".  I'm washing my hands and the next thing I know he says "my shirt...I flush it!"...I stopped...looked around and didn't see a shirt and it hit me!  I said "you did what?!?!" and he said "My shirt, I flushed it!".  Yep he sure did!  He flushed his (luckily small) cotton t-shirt down the toilet!  I did what any self respecting woman would do (not wanting her husband to be mad at her) and reached in the toilet trying to pull the shirt out but it was already too far gone and I felt nothing.  So I had to plunge the toilet a few times and boom...the shirt moved through and the toilet has worked fine ever since!  Silly little BOY!  He just wanted to see if the shirt would flush...and he got his wish.  So if anyone has a blue cotton t-shirt show up in the sewer system anywhere lets just say it's courtesy of my son.  :-)

Fire Truck Friday

Last Friday, April 27th when I picked up the kids from school I heard a teacher talking about having a 'fire drill' at school today and the fire truck coming to school and all because a little boy had pulled the fire alarm.  She was telling this to one of Colton's class mates mom's and letting her know it was not her son.  She said "I would have put $20 on this kid or this kid but it was not either one of them".  I'm thinking in my head 'ok...if it was not the kid standing at the door with his mom...and it was not one of the two other boys that is limiting the number of boys left in Colton's room...could it be my son?'  Well sure enough, I opened Colton's classroom door and his teacher had a huge smile on her face and said "Colton tell mommy what happened today" and I instantly knew and said "oh no...was it Colton!" and she said yes and laughed.  I told I over heard the other teacher talking about it at the front door and wondered.  She said Colton's class was about to go outside and the teacher had all the kids in the buggy but had to go to the bathroom so she parked the buggy by the door so the up front teacher could watch them.  She said she just got sat down and the alarm went off.  Miss Erin (the owner) said they had to view the tape to see which kid it was and she copied what the first teacher said by saying "I would have put money on this kid or this kid but not Colton!".  She said they were sitting there just waiting and Colton looked up and saw the red fire alarm button and probably wanted to know what it was so he reached up and pulled it down.  She said it is not supposed to be easy to pull so she didn't know if we would be mad that he pulled it or happy that he was strong enough to do it!  I told her it was just 'another first' so we laughed!  So needless to say daycare as well as the kids had an exciting day last Friday because they all got to see the Fire Truck!  Now Miss Erin just hopes other kids don't remember how to 'call the fire truck'!  :-)

Lauren and Colton Funnies

Colton has a few funny sayings and he decided to use them at the Easter Church Service yesterday. :-) Can we say stressed out daddy (and laughing mommy)! LOL

• While we were at church yesterday, the priest was talking and Colton had done really well but it was time to stand up and listen to the priest talk. Colton started talking so I was just trying to get him to quiet down and I said "Colton look...lets listen to what he is saying" and Colton said "Hu?" and I repeated myself...then he said "wha'd you say?" and I repeated myself again. Once again he said "Hu?" and I started laughing so he said "Wha'd you say mom?" The full pew behind us was laughing and smiling at mister talkative. :-)


• Then Lauren had to go to the bathroom so Colton of course said he had to go too. So as I'm walking out Colton saw the statues and started saying "look it's Jesus" (while the whole church is quiet besides the priest) and "there's another Jesus".


• Another funny saying Colton currently has is he will say "what you doin' for?" instead of "What are you doing?" or "What are you doing that for?".

Since Lauren is almost 5 she is starting to notice more body changes especially in me since I'm 6 months pregnant. :-)

• Yesterday morning I was getting out of the bath and she said "mom why are your peepers so fluffy and hanging like that?" and I said, "well it's just because I'm pregnant baby" and she said "and the peepers are full of milk". I guess she remembers when Colton was little. :-) She then followed it up with "when you are little they are like mine" and raised up her shirt. Geez...I hope this is not a view into my future saying "Lauren put your shirt down!" :-) I don't think her daddy could handle that much stress!

Colton Funny

Colton has not been sleeping through the night well lately because he is getting more teeth in finally! So last night he woke up. Kraig went in to put him back down and he was not good with this...So Kraig decided to bring him into our bed. At first he was happy about snuggling...but after a bit decided it was not his thing and said "I want little bed" and sat up like 'ok take me to bed' so Kraig and I laughed and said "you want your bed" and he said "yes!" So Kraig took him back to bed and he slept the rest of the night. :-) I've just never known a kid to say "I want my bed" over their parents! LOL This boy keeps me on my toes!

2 years and 2 months old

Lauren Funny - 4 years old

Well folks it happened. I knew the day would come where Kraig and I were put in an awkward position because Lauren said something 'interesting' to someone. Well it happened Wednesday night.

Kraig picked the kids up from Coleman's and took them to Taco Bell. They pulled up to the window to pay and Lauren likes to have her window down if yours is down, so Kraig rolled her window down and it happened. Lauren looked at the Taco Bell worker and asked "why are you brown". :-)

Kraig did a great job and keeping it together and just smiled and said "God made everyone different baby". He said the worker just smiled and he drove off.

Gotta love the innocence of kids!

Lauren Funny

So three must be the age where kids decide they are going to really start working their parents. I've noticed lately that Lauren will tell little white lies! YES my perfect little princess! While I was putting Colton to bed Wednesday night Kraig and Lauren were watching Wonder Pets. When I was done with Colton, I came out and the show was almost over. Kraig went into the bedroom and when the show went off I said "ok, lets go to bed" and she went right into bed and went to sleep like a princess...said "NO, dad said I could watch two!" and she meant it! I however was not born yesterday, so I said "no, daddy didn't" with a smile on my face and I put her to bed. I told Kraig what happened and he said he didn't tell her she could watch two...and so it begins! :-)

Lauren Funny

Last week I was at Target with Lauren and Colton and Lauren was riding in the big part of the cart. She was sitting down until we got to the section with headbands (which is why we were there to begin with...she had to have a sparkly headband just like Hannah Nana)! She then stood up to look at headbands, etc and when it was time to go I asked her to sit down. She promptly sat down continued to stand up so I started counting 1....2...3...and then I spanked her...(don't worry it was not that hard)! She turned around and looked at me and said "that wasn't nice mommy!" The lady looking at clothes on the other aisle just started laughing...and so did I! Ha! Oh, the joys of a 3 year old!

Love you Lolo!

Babe...Can you come here?

I was in the closet getting ready when Kraig said "babe can you come here?" and this is what I found...

Someone decided that she wanted puffs for breakfast (out of the diaper bag) and thought little Colty might want some too. So I of course had to capture the moment. :-) Thanks Lauren for being such a good big sister and thanks Colton for being such a sweet little brother!

Something I Never Thought I'd Hear My Daughter Say...

This morning as we are leaving the house for school and work Lauren casually says "Mama is your bootie big or no?" I thought "what has your daddy been teaching you?" but I just laughed and said "ha my butt is big sweetie" and I looked back and Kraig was just laughing. :-) Love you Lolo...even though you ask some funny questions!

BTW...I was told that Kraig has NOT been telling Lolo my "bootie is big". :-) Love you babe!
