I think the poop potty training stage is harder on me and FI's relationship than the newborn stage.

DD has been watching Jessie, a Disney show that is definitely geared towards kids a little older than she is. I said last week that I didn't want her to watch it any more because the kids were mean to each other and I noticed she was acting out a little. Last night, she was throwing tantrums over nothing (sounding just like the little girl on the show) and DH finally agreed with me.

Sorry kid, back to Disney Junior you go.

My kids are really into Garfield and Friends right now. We're like "YAY!"

[omgzombies]

I was going to bring the kids into the city and let them go to the Beach exhibit at the Building Museum again, then stop for lunch with H at his office. But I have laryngitis, and my summer cold has me all sleepy. So we're home today. The kids think it's great fun that mommy can't talk right now. I am less amused. I get it pretty much once a year, so I'm used to it, and usually it eases up as the day wears on, but it's annoying.

After 10 years, 8 months, and 2 days of paying daycare and preschool, I made my last payment today EVER!!

*swimming through money, Scrooge McDuck style*

To further prove my children laugh in the face of the sleep chart they both woke up at 530 and would not go back to sleep. On one of the rare days mama could have slept later.

Jerks.

Also, I am working from home because daycare is closed today. DS insisted on watching a Winnie the Pooh Christmas movie. Then he insisted on wearing my Santa hat. Then he got tired of wearing it and insisted *I* wear it.

So, here I am, working in my PJs at the kitchen table and wearing a Santa hat.

My baby turns TWO on Sunday! TWO! We're officially out of babies.

Last night Carl went grocery shopping and when he handed me the cocoa and powdered sugar I asked for he said "doing some baking this weekend?" I just looked at him with a confused dog face and he finally remembered, "oh yeah, you do that".

You'd think after a decade living together, homemade birthday cakes wouldn't be such a novelty.

Ugh...Jessie is the worst. DS is 9 and I won't let him watch it either.

Our teachers voted to strike.

Now, I'm all supportive of them and what they're doing. But waaaaaaaaaaa, end of summer already!

I've been cleaning and assembling furniture all morning. I'm on bag 3 of toys to be trashed.

Having a BBQ on Monday is great for my house!

Yep.

DS1 watched Lego Star Wars and he's hooked. I'm kind of excited about this.

Also, I talked him into dressing as Captain America for Halloween. So now I get to be Wonder Woman!

We notice DD acting out if we even let her watch Lilo and Stitch. It's a scary reminder as to how impressionable she really is.

And this...


Edit...
It's impossible for them both to look happy simultaneously.

I feel like I'm going to puke everywhere. On one hand, yaaaay. But then, puking. Boo.

Natalie asked at dinner the other night if we could do prayers "like they do at school." I was thinking back to preschool. So Jeff says yes, you lead it, Natalie.

"In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. I pledge allegiance, to the flag, ..." So we all did it together, and tried not to die from laughter.

LT is walking around in a ninja costume he wanted at Costco.  It is a size 3-4.  It is too short, but he loves it and is the cutest ninja ever.  He just told me "hold on, mommy, I have to concentrate."  ::melts::
