2 year olds give me a headache...

Conversation with a super cranky Joshy this morning:

Josh: I need some doos (ie juice)

Me: ok, here you go

Josh: I want the giraffe cup

me: I already put it in the blue cup, I'm not dirtying another cup

Josh: I don't want doos *pushes cup away*

me: fine, I'll drink it, ok?

Josh: drink it Mommy

**drinking Joshy's juice**

Josh: ** crying** Mommy drank my doos!

Nose Cannon

I guess it's about time the kids figured it out, noses are great for shooting things out of.

We found gingerbread decorating kits at Michael's for a dollar. Yep, a DOLLAR! So we got a couple and had fun decorating them, and especially eating them. But Becca and Joshy discovered that these little round candies were a perfect size for shooting out of Joshy's nose. He got a green one stuck (which required a little help from Mommy to get out) and it left him with green boogers for a couple days. So that explains the green streak... why there is frosting in the other nostril? Well... you know....

Words I never thought I'd say... I use cloth diapers!

Seriously, they have come a LOOOOONG way since diaper pins and plastic pants. Look how cute these are? I'm totally loving the bright colored ones, they are super fun. And the laundry part? Not that bad! And knowing that I don't have to buy a box of diapers at least once a month ain't bad either :)

And this site is doing giveaways, hope I win some more cute stuff!

3 months

Can you believe it? I'm three months old already!

My toes are still cute, just bigger.

My hair has changed a lot... remember that full head of hair I used to have? I have replaced it with a mohawk...

and a mullet!

No more stick legs for me.

But I have kept my bright eyes and silly facial expressions.

I love Little Miss Sunshine and her friends, they are my girlfriends. We hang out every day.

Get this! I wear cloth diapers now. But no pins and plastic pants for me... I get cool Fuzzi Bunz with bright colors.

Aren't I just so cute?

Party like it's 1999!

That song always pops into my head for New Years. But maybe I don't want to party like it's 1999? That year I graduated from college, moved home, then back to Provo where my friends and life were. I thought my life was full then, but really had no idea what a full life was really like. So reflecting on what I have now that I didn't then comes up with a huge list. I didn't have my little family of me, Josh and four busy kids. We didn't have this home, even just last year. And those things are way more important to me now than any of the things that I thought were important back then. I didn't have drawings on my fridge made by my kids (but I didn't have drawings on my walls either) I didn't get little love notes every day. I was having fun and partying in 1999, but there was a lot that I didn't even realize was missing in my life.

So as I sit here just after midnight listening to the neighbors lighting off their illegal fireworks and the neighbor kids banging pots and pans with spoons (which makes me laugh because my mother in law does that still, even though her kids won't do it with her anymore) I think I'd rather party like it's 2009, or rather 2010. We'll stick with our quiet party of watching movies with the kids, drinking Martinelli's out of plastic cups, and then sending the kids right to bed. Happy New Years everybody! Party like it's 2010 :)
