Crazy, Funny, Beautiful Kids

Being a parent is so draining yet so fulfilling. It's full of stress yet also full of humor. 


I feel like many days I'm on a teeter-totter. One moment I'm ready to send them all up to their rooms so I can have a bit of space and quite and then next I'm laughing at their silly shenanigans and pulling them close for a long hug. 

It's not always easy but I do love being their mom. They make me smile and laugh...they melt my heart over and over again.

Silly words from Mini Man...
  • We had one of Jeremy's former students over for dinner and Mini Man apparently walked in on him in the bathroom and said, "you want to play pee swords...did you know girls sit down when they pee? That's weird!"
  • Before seeing the new Cinderella movie, "I'm just going to eat popcorn with my eyes closed!". He actually ended up really enjoying the film.
  • While coloring a picture, "this is awesome right now, I can't even bear it!"
  • Holding up a Boba Fett figurine to Jeremy, "Daddy for Halloween I'm going to be just like this! Just like this! Except I'll be taller."

Silly words from Little Lady

  • while in the bathroom, "the seat is cold can you hold me up?"
  • "I can't go to sleep because there's too much love in my body"
  • "Early today Satan was trying to trick me but he can't cause daddy learned me tons about God"
  • "Mommy, someday can you bring me to Facebook?"
  • While rubbing scentred lotion on her feet, "my feet are going to taste like princesses"
  • Telling Jeremy about her new sneakers, "they have hearts on them and this squeak stuff on the bottom."
  • "Cinderella is king of the princesses"

Silly words from Big Buddy

  • Jeremy hears a loud thud from upstairs so he goes up to investigate. He find Big Buddy on the floor under the bunk bed holding on to his baby blanket. Jeremy: what happened? Big Buddy: "why don't parachutes work !?"
  • Trying to console Little Lady after our Whoopee Cushion broke, "it's ok that the fart balloon broke, I'll be your fart balloon, just push on my tummy."
  • "Poor people have very little money and rich people have lots and lots and lots of money. Medium people have just the right amount; we are medium people."
  • "I'm bleeding thirsty!" We put the axe on this little phrase since it sounded too much like a British curse word. 


What silly things or antics do your kids do that have you laughing?

A Little Red Cardboard Barn

We've finished our farm unit and are moving on to a new theme tomorrow - but before we do I wanted share the barn we made. The wooden farm animals came with a beautiful handmade ark that we gave Big Buddy for Christmas a couple years ago.  I would someday love to have a wood barn but it's currently not in the budget. So in the mean time we decided to improvise and make our own.  I stumbled upon this perfectly sized milk box (4 gallons per box) while subbing and thought it would be sturdy enough to handle play. Hubandie and the boys used an x-acto knife and wood glue to build a barn shape. to get the doors to fold out hubandie used an x-acto knife and scored the inside of the cardboard We then painted with a basic primer and outlined a window and a door with painters tape. cardboard is very porous so priming is a must if you want decent coverage Big Buddy however insisted that we add more windows so it looked like the barn in our book The Big

Preschool Syllabus: Dr. Seuss

Normally I'd do a Dr. Seuss unit in March around his birthday. We had to do one now though because on Saturday Big Buddy and I going on a date to a  Dr. Seuss exhibit . The exhibit is only at the museum until January and I'm afraid if we don't go now we might not get the chance. We are of course reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books. A great advatage to studying Dr. Seuss in November rather than March is that all his books were available at the library. I also found a great children's biography which is perfect for preschoolers. Pebble First Biographies: Dr. Seuss  We've read it a couple times and Big Buddy loves reciting all the facts he's learned WRITING CENTER ADDITIONS big buddy's name in sand paper letters, coloring pages  & mazes from seussville.com skills practiced: fine motor, letter recognition, creativity,  reading comprehension LEARNING "TRAYS" -   I rotate these, setting out about four a day from which the boy&#

Jack-O-Lanterns on the Fridge

Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in FamilyFun Magazine  and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap. my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue *i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them   glued (very messily) and ready to cut Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :) Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
