172 Diaper Pick Up

4/27/11
I learned a new game today that is not very much fun but I am sure a lot of parents will end up playing at some point in their lives. It is called 172 diaper pick up. The game starts when naughty children decide to empty out the brand new box of diapers that you just purchased from Costco and throw them around the room. The game is finished when the parent is done picking up all the diapers while the children cry that they don't want to clean up and you are getting after them. It is awesome! I hope I never have to do that again but I know that is just wishful thinking.

I Want To Go Home!!

4/25/11
Spencer keeps telling me that he want to go home, but we are at home. I am not really sure what to do. I alked him were home is and he just shruggs his shoulders and then continues to yell at me that he want to go home. Not quite sure where to take him.

The Hulk Strikes Again!

Today Jake thought it would be a good idea to take one of our sectional pieces apart, move it, and tip it over. A while ago he had cut slices on the side with a pair of shears and I guess he decided it would be a good idea to pull on the fabric he had already cut. I don't know how he does these things. The end piece is a recliner and is pretty heavy. Our couches are pretty much ruined.

Microwaving DVDs

4/16/11
So, I wrote last time how my sweet little boys microwaved formula samples. Well, that is not all they have been microwaving. Today I opened one of my DVD cases to find that the disk was ruined. It was warped and bubbled up a bit. Jake and Spencer put it in the microwave. Now I am really surprised that the microwave works. Where do they come up with this stuff?

Microwaving Formula

4/14/11
We usually have hectic mornings. This morning the chaos was added to by me not being able to find my keys. Usually it takes about 15 minutes to walk to Alex's school, which I like to do when we have time. Today was not one of those days where we had time. I had 7 minutes to get Alex to school. We ran almost the entire way, which was really good for me since I was pushing Jake and Spencer in a stroller. I never want to do that again.
Jake and Spencer are really good at making food for themselves. They put the food on a plate, push a button on the microwave, and warm up their food. Normally they cook hot dogs or chicken nuggets. Today they decided to try something new. I had received in the mail 2 sample cans of formula in a box. The boys stuck the formula, box and all, in the microwave and turned it on. Luckily I caught it after a few seconds otherwise I might be needing a new microwave. I really don't know why I am getting formula samples either since my baby is 2 and way beyond formula.

Stolen Coat

4/8/11
I have been struggling with Alex's teacher this year. I feel like she doesn't listen and is not very organizes. The icing on the cake though is that Alex's coat got stollen and she did nothing. I sent Alex to school with a coat because there was snow on the ground and he came home without one. When he told his teacher, she said they would look for it the next day. Now I have no coat for my kid so he had to wear a jacket today and it is cold and snowy outside. I am not very happy.

Spencer Turns 2

I cannot believe my baby is 2! It's crazy! To me it feels like I just had him and he is growing up

so fast! He loves animals and balls and his mommy. Spencer also really likes water and I find him in the sink all the time. Usually
it is the kitchen sink. He likes to do the dishes. He will also drink
out of the sink. He is just such a happy boy and I am so glad he is

part of our family. He is also very good, which helps me out since I have one that is a big challenge. He had a fun birthday and was so excited to blow out his candles. We had to take the cake from him while the family sang "Happy Birthday" so he wouldn't blow the candles out. I am looking forward to more fun moments in the coming years.
