Hair dresser!

OMG, O. just said the funniest thing!  She was a hair stylist today, and when she was done, she said in my ear, "When your hair is bad, call me!  I'll answer.  Every time.  Here are your ingredients for your hair."  And she pointed to her play brush, hair straightener and curling iron!

Short sleeved pants

Last week it was unseasonably warm, thank God!  The kids wanted to wear short sleeves and shorts after school, so I let them.  What could it hurt?  It's 66 degrees!  After so many snow days, and cold weather days, they deserve it!  So, the older two went upstairs and changed their clothes and on the way back down, I heard O. say to J., "I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt AND short sleeve pants!"  So there!  ;)

Dislocated elbow! OW!

My youngest daughter was playing and running through the house, slipped on a toy, fell, and landed on her head and arm.  Thus, dislocating her elbow/forearm.  We thought she had broken it!  Took her to Urgent Care (LOVE that place!) and the dr. popped her elbow/forearm back in place!!! YAY!!!  What a scare though, for us AND for her!  She's only 1 1/2!!!!  My poor little angel!

Insurance commercials

Is it bad when your kids can recite insurance commercials at the dinner table?  I guess that just goes to show you who's got the most commercials running through kids programming these days.  It's a shame, but I guess someone has to fund these cable networks.  Maybe THAT'S why we are charged so much for insurance!
Still though, I love the sound of kids playing in the next room WITHOUT the tv on!  It's a welcome change every now and then!
My sweet little E. is so darn cute!  And getting older by the minute!  Today she wanted down and wanted to walk by herself!

My darling daughter

I can't believe my sweet baby is 20 months old already! I remember when she was born!  And as I sit here watching her play, I replay in my mind her last 20 months.  Time certainly flies by!  She's so independent now!  Walking, running, playing on her own, talking is coming along very nicely, getting along w/ her siblings.  She's developing into a beautiful little girl!  She's a great snuggler, and just sweet, sweet, sweet!  Unless you get on her bad side!  Then, she's not so nice!  She gets frustrated over the simplest things, because she's still too little to understand how some things work.  And if she doesn't like something, she'll let you know!  Her personality is really developing, and it's so fun to watch!!!!

The first recipe!

My kids like to help out in the kitchen.  And now that my son is in kindergarten, he thinks that he's an expert at everything!  Food included!

Here's his recipe:  Chocolate milkshake
Chocolate Ice Cream
Milk
Ice

Mix altogether and serve w/ whipped cream on top! 
LOL!

Sickness!

Wintertime seems to be the breeding time for illness.  And my children are no exception to be being exposed to sickness.  Unfortunately!  It seems like the illness this year is lingering as well.  My son started feeling sick last Thursday, and today it came back.  And has passed it along to my youngest daughter.  Fun fun stuff!  At least they are in good spirits!!!  And at least we have stuff going on all week, so I won't have to hunker down and stay at home all week!  And Friday I get a break, and am going scrapbooking Fri into Sat.  I need a vacation!!!!  LOL!
