What's In A Name?

The kids are playing dress up - a daily activity in our home. Grace came out dressed in a princess dress. She told me her name was Princess Fairy Sparkle. She asked me if I liked that name, of course I said yes. Then she said this.... Well, then how come you didn't name me that when I was a baby?
I didn't know I could. We will be going down to the courthouse today to change her name. Mom, can you get us a mug with Princess Fairy Sparkle on it??

Squirter

We went down to see Jared and Lindsay before they moved away to Texas this last weekend. It was a really nice weekend for me (I think I needed it). Well, it was the first long trip in the car that Jack didn't wear a diaper - he did so great! No accidents. We were almost home, seriously 5 minutes away and he freaked out cause he had to go potty. So Clint pulled over and quickly got him out and let him pee on the side of the road - don't know why but I was a proud mom at that moment. Good job Jack!

I Feel So Cheap

The other day we (me and the kids) went into Fresno. While we were there we met up with Nana and Avery. The girls were going to get the hair cut and Jack and I were going to go to Target. Jack did not want to go - he wanted to stay with the girls. So Nana bribed him and gave him a dollar so he could get something in the dollar section. While Jack and I were on our way there I asked him what he wanted to get and he said that he wanted to get a new mommy with his money.

Way to be honest kid.

The Best Day Ever

It was such a good day today -
Waking up to Jack screaming at 5:30, and discovering he had a fever.
Dealing with sales on Craigslist.
Getting things organized and priced, and somewhat cleaned up for our yard sale tomorrow.
Cleaning up Jack vomit and dealing with a 103 temperature.
Trying to help Grace have an okay day in such a not okay day.
Finding out that we will close on our house a few days after I really wanted to - but hey, it's done.

- let's see if I have the best night ever

Anyone want testicle ice cream?

Grace colored a picture with about 100 different ice cream cones on it. Now she is in the process of telling me all the flavors of them. She just told me that one was nad berry. And then asked me if I knew how to make nad berry? (I assume from nads (?)). And now I have to act like that sounds delicious - for the record, it does not.

I debated posting this - but it was too funny not to.
being a parent is fun

Random Pictures

I have learned a few things since becoming a mother. But the one thing that I have learned that makes me so very sad, is that I will not have my kids for very long. My 4 year old is a completely different person than her 2 year old self. I miss the 2 year old. I was holding my son a little while ago, as he told me about his sticker picture that he did, and I started to miss him. I know what will happen with the second that I did not know with my first - he will be gone soon. I am really going to miss my little man.
