things i wasn't warned about...

how perfect that the very day i decide to jump back into the blogging world my children would give me something perfect to blog about?!?!?!?


so tonight, as i was folding laundry (and i must admit my first load in nearly 4 months!) i see my children running back and forth from their rooms to mine with arms full of every stuffed toy we have in our home.

after several trips it dawns on me to ask....
mommy: what are you guys doing?
alivia: smooshing munky, mommy.


i know, i know...
i should have known right then and there what was going on, but...
my brain is a bit fried these days.


i wouldn't normally be a mother to pose my kiddos while they nearly suffocate our dog...
but, it made me laugh!

things i was never warned about...

brian brought a ranger cookie home for alivia when he picked levi up from school today.

alivia took one bite of it.
chewed like she liked it, and then must have bit into something that was no good.

cause she took the wad of chewed up cookie out into her hand,
walked over to me, and whipped it all down on my shirt!

when she saw that her mother was thoroughly disgusted by the whole mess...
she looked up and said...
"what? it's only a cookie mommy!"

i think it's safe to say she'll be stick with good old chocolate chip from now on!

the things i wasn't warned about....

you must be wondering what this cute little chubby cheeked girl is doing under a post like this,
and now i am going to explain for you...

tonight, i was helping anyone who needed help getting their pj's on...
i started off by undressing nataley. and then i remembered the note i signed when i picked levi up at school. he had a fire ant in his pants and it bit him a few times on his upper thigh. i let nataley walk around the house in the buff as i examined levis bites.

next thing i know a horrific stench is lagging behind nataleys pathway while she is leaving mud like trails behind her!
yes, my child pooped, stepped in it and was traipsing it around the whole family room floor.

i grabbed her, took her over to the tub, and quickly bathed the poop off of her.

then,
me, being the woman i am, decided to grab my camera to capture this moment i will one day look back and laugh about. i walked over to where the poop was and....
IT WAS GONE!
the dog ate it, how gross!

yep, my whole day was pretty much one incident like that after another...

and sitting down her now thinking about it, there is a funny irony in the fact that today, of all days, crazy stuff like this kept happening...
which i will get to in a future blog post,
hopefully.

the things no one warns you about when your pregnant...

tonight after dinner at pine craft park, i noticed alivia would not stop picking her nose.
then, i saw the tiniest bit of blood; so i decided to investigate the situation.

upon looking in my child's nose i noticed a foreign object stuck pretty far up her nostril.
i placed one finger over the clear nostril and told her to blow....

and out flew a bloody kernel of corn!

it looked like a freshly lost tooth.
gross!
