Prayers

Emmy and JoJo a few nights ago. Jacob was being a turd and didn't want to participate.

Girls day out

Emmy and I had a date on Sunday, we went out to eat and then went shopping, just us two. We went to get school clothes, since she is starting mother's day out (practice school as we call it) after all. We got some new shoes, and a few outfits plus she picked out her backpack and lunch kit. Littlest Pet Shop of course, although it was a tough choice for her between that and Tinkerbell. When we got home, she wanted to put on a fashion show for her Dad and brothers.

We went swimming between when we got home from shopping and the fashion show, hence the hair-do. Hahaha.

She picked this next one out all by herself. She picked up the shirt, examined it and said "OH MY GOSH! This shirt is one one dot nine nine dollars! I can't pay for that!" Uh, hello. Like you're paying. I said "it's twelve dollars Em, I think we can handle that if you want it."

She really doesn't look as doofy in this outfit as the picture suggests. She was being silly with her pose. She was all over this one because it had a purse to match. Girls are fun. :)

So she's all set. We'll say that this is her first school experience. Last years three days total hardly counts. I'm way less hormonal than the last time I tried putting her in, so I bet it goes much better this time around. Plus she HAS to go, she starts kindergarten next year! Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!! :(

Dr. Emmy

Yesterday, Emmy and I were playing "you be" with her Littlest Pet Shop animals. "You be" is Emmy's favorite thing to do. She gives you an object and says "you be this" and then you have conversations between your object and whatever her object is, and you visit imaginary places with your "you be" objects. Usually it's an animal of some sort, but she'll play "you be" with anything. We were out eating once and she forgot her toys, she picked up a fork and told Basil "here, you be this" then they proceeded with a "you be" session between his fork and her spoon. She has a very vivid imagination. ANYFREAKINGWAY, yesterday, we were playing and we went to the carnival. My animal rode the merry go round a few too many times and got sick. Her animal was the doctor and she said:



"Here, you need this medicine. It's called diarrhea infected, and you need two scoops. It's supposed to stay in your tummy for a while then you'll feel better."



Diarrhea infected. I'd run toward a medicine with that name, wouldn't you? ;)

After we played "you be," we played Memory. She beat me two out of three times and at the end of the game stood up and said "I KICKED YOUR HINEY! NA NA NA NA STICK YOUR FACE IN POO POO! I'M THE BEST MEMORY PLAYER EVER!"







She's a trip, she really is.

New trick

I put Caleb in his bed to play for a minute and found him like this when I went back:







And he's SO proud. We lowered his crib mattress just in time!! Problem is, he can't get down so once he stands up he either squeals until somebody rescues him or he lets go, falls and hits his big fat head. Either way, it's very annoying. Lucky for him he's cute. ;) Once he started moving, he really started moving. I was cleaning the bathroom earlier and when I turned around to walk out, there he was. I almost tripped over him, he's very stealthy. I had flashbacks from when Jacob and Jonah were little, I'd find them standing over the toilet staring down at the toy they'd just thrown in there. Time for some toilet locks because toilet wise, things don't stay as clean as they did when Jacob and Jonah were babies, and it's all their fault. Boys are gross.

Birthday part 2

I'm having computer issues so since it's working right now I thought I'd better post while the posting is good. :)

We had a pool party at the Pompano this weekend for the boys, they wanted their classmates to come celebrate with them. They had a really good turnout and everyone had a ball. They now have an impressive Transformers collection going, although I still can't figure out why any kid would want to play with them, they frustrate the hell out of me.

He's on the move!

We're in trouble now!!








I'll try to get a video together to post, I'll have to wait until I have one where we don't all sound so stupid while we're trying to get him to come to us. ;)

Jacob was visited by the tooth fairy!

He lost his first tooth yesterday while swimming at the Pompano, and I missed the whole thing dammit! It was apparently very entertaining too, according to Basil. Jacob lost (actually lost - as in didn't know where it was) the tooth and was crying about that and Emily was crying because Jacob was crying (and because there was a tiny amount of blood). Jonah was the only one holding it together, he was busy looking for the tooth. They did find it, and Jacob came running into the house proudly sporting his new gap and the tiny little tooth in his hand. We put it up and I hurried to make his tooth fairy pillow, nothing like waiting until the last minute huh?

Here he was Saturday with all of his teeth:

And proud of his new gap:

Getting ready for the tooth fairy:

Look! She came!! (she brought a gold dollar coin):

Weren't they just born yesterday? :( Sheesh, I've got one losing them and one growing them at the same time.

Oh, Caleb decided to start crawling this weekend too. Nice weekend for milestones apparently. I'll make a new post for that (and one for Jacob and Jonah's pool party) later in the week.
