Long Time, No Blog

It has been a long time since I have blogged. My life has been very busy. Like I said in my last post I am pregnant. Recently was Thanksgiving. I had to work, since I am a waitress. My kids had dinner at home with their dad. Then my 13 year old daughter wanted me to go shopping on black Friday. So I did. Boy, was that a mad house. Christmas is next month already! Busy, Busy!

I'm Pregnant

About 2 to 3 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant, with my fourth child. All of my previous pregnancies I planned on having the kids. This time it was a total surprise! And I have been hit the hardest in my first trimester; feeling sicker than any other of my pregnancies. Hope all goes well!

Playing outside.

Today my 2 year old was outside in the garage/driveway playing with his basket of bouncy balls. At one point he was throwing them down the driveway (which is at a slant downwards). So they went into the road. And 2 boys (about 10 years old) snagged them and took them into their house. So I went out and said "Did you two see any of his bouncy balls go across the street?" And one of them said "Um yeah, we found 2 marbles, 3 bouncy balls, and a golf ball." And they went into their house, came back outside and gave them back. I can't believe they were going to steal them! Well at least I caught them in time....

In control?

So today my 2 year old said "I want to play outside." So I said "Ok then lets go get some play clothes on you." And I got his shirt on, but then when I grabbed a pair of pants he said "I don't like those pants" So I grabbed another pair and he said "no not those pants." Then I said "fine you pick". So he picked the exact same pair of pants I chose out the first time. He just wants to be in control!

Dentist appointment

Today my older kids had a dentist appointment. Since we recently moved they hadn't been to the dentist since we moved. So this was their first time at this dentist they complained how it was so where near as nice or high tech. And the whole time my 2 year old was being really loud playing in the waiting room, so this older lady kept glaring at us. Then afterwards I took them to get a smoothie from a fast food place and the minute my 2 year old saw where we were, he said "I want fry fries." Which is what he calls french fries. Oh what a day.

Clown Face!

So tonight my 10 year old daughter came out of the bathroom, with a clown face. She used her play make-up and turned herself into a clown! First my 2 year old has tattoo arms, now this! And there are before and after pictures!

Tattoo Arms...

So today, my 10 year old gave my 2 year old sleeves of tattoos. He always asks for tattoos when he sees her wearing them. So they did a lot. He has 2 arms full of tattoos, and he says "I am a BIG MAN"! He thinks he is so tough, it's so cute! :)

Adventure to the store

I took my kids to the drug store to grab a few things. Everything that my 2 year old saw he wanted. We walked through the shoe isle and he wanted flip-flops. We walked through the first aid section and he wanted Dora band aids. We went through the candy isle and of course he wanted chocolate. We walked through the fishing section, and he said he wanted a fish! Even as we walked through the wine section he grabbed a bottle of wine and almost dropped it! It is definitely very hard with him.

Climbing.

My 2 year olds new thing is climbing. He climbs on everything. He uses his jack in a box to climb up to counters. He even picks up a stool and carries it to a counter, climbs up, until he gets just what he wants. And if I tell him to stop he gets mad and bites the counter, or even throws something at me! He is like a never ending battle.

Water or Milk?

I have been trying to get my little 2 year old to settle down so that soon he can fall asleep. The tough part is that he doesn't know what he wants. He has been going back and forth about what he wants to drink! First he asks for water, so I bring him a bottle with it. Then he says that he wants milk. So I bring him another bottle with it. And once again he says he wants water. So I bring it back to him. And what do you think? He once again says he doesn't want it, and he says he wants milk. So I am seriously thinking...this is the last time I bring him what he wants. Luckily he is satisfied with it and he is sitting with it in his little rocker chair watching In between the lions. Mama drama accomplished!

Today my kids were hungry. They thought that there wasn't anything good to eat. But they made a snack that they haven't made in a while. Pretzels and Peanut butter. A perfect combination of sweet and salty. That made them happy! Mama Drama accomplished!

Skateboarding!

Lately all that my little 2 year old wants to do when he plays outside is skateboard! He just loves it because my 13 year old daughter who skateboards taught him how! Well now he is addicted. And if he gets mad he will say "I hate you". I can't believe he knows that!

Hungry and growing!

You know your 2 year old is growing when you give them a plate of this much food and they eat it all. My 2 year old ate this much food which is cheese puffs, bananas, a granola bar, and turkey in seven minutes exactly, then he even asked for more! He sure is a hungry growing little boy!

Drawings on the walls

All the time I find my little 2 year old with a writing utensil of some sort. And I find that he has used it to draw somewhere in the house. And the picture is just one of the walls he has drawn on. The best way that I could get Sharpie off the wall is to use hand sanitizer (as weird as it sounds) and a soapy wet rag.

Cranky wake-up.

My little two year old just woke up from an afternoon nap. Of course as cranky as can be. I offered him milk, to sit in his little rocker chair, even a cookie. He didn't want any. He just stayed cranky as I held him. Until I offered him a little Clifford juice-box. And he took it, and was happy about it. The best part is those little juice-boxes are 100% juice. So I didn't have to worry about giving him something to unhealthy or sugary. Mama Drama accomplished.

My Blog

I just created my blog today. I call it Mama drama, I talk about the drama of being a mom. (Especially since I am a mom of three). So far today there hasn't been much drama. I hope all stays well :)
