Madison Embarrasses Mommy in the Mall

This afternoon I had to run to the mall to exchange a shirt that Brooklyn got for Christmas. I realized that I forgot the stroller so I thought she would do okay because I knew we weren't going to be there that long so I said what the heck. Well mommy learned a very valuable lesson, don't forget the stroller. I was in gymboree and they have a tv for the kids to watch. Well Madison thought it would be okay to pull a little girl's hair. I knew it was her because she has a thing right now about pulling anyone's hair. I was so embarrassed that I apologized to her mom and dragged my kids out as soon as possible. I will never do that again and I forget the stroller we will be driving back home to either get it or just don't go back.

Daddy celebrated another Birthday.

Saturday was daddy's 34th birthday. If you ask daddy he will tell you that he is just old. That morning Brooklyn asked daddy "how old are you?"I told her that you don't ever ask anyone their age except your friends of course. We had a pretty quiet day. MeMe and PawPaw came over to the house and we ordered take out. Daddy wanted a cookie cake for his birthday and that is what we got.

We Finally Have our Carpets Cleaned

Finally we got our carpets cleaned. We actually got the whole house cleaned for a pretty penny. In fact, after they cleaned the house they decided to add on additional charges to the estimate that was given to us. After my concerns and deny payment, the company called me back and apologize to me for how the employee cleaned our house. Granted, our carpets were in need of cleaning and some of the stains i knew probably would not be able to get out. When I inspected the house I came to realize that the employee did not do what he was suppose to and they are coming back out to our house on Friday to redo my entire house. They are also not going to charge me for the additional stuff. I think we lucked out. Our kids do not like the fact they can't take food nor drinks upstairs anymore and that they have to take their shoes off immediately when they get in the house. Lilly doesn't like the fact that she is now in her cage at all times while we are away from the house. Daddy always put her in her cage but I hardly did and now is in there whether she likes it or not. I just hope we can stick to our new rules and our carpets can at least stay 90% stain free.

A typical Monday

Well Brooklyn didn't understand why there was a 2 hour delay. Trying to explain that to her is impossible. She is a person who would rather be in school 7 days a week. I told her just wait. All my kids were wanting to play in the snow again but I told them that it's too cold. The truth-I don't want to hassel getting them dressed and then getting them undressed. It may be fun for them but it is not fun for mommy. Finally after 2 1/2 years we are finally getting our carpets cleaned. Our poor carpets are in such bad shape. I hope they turn out good. Madison just decided to get a hold of my Dr. Pepper and spill it all over the carpet. Not good!!! So from now on, there will be no shoes allowed on my carpet. I am going to do my best to keep these carpets cleaned and free of stains. Is that possible? Have a good one

A Snowy Day

Well we got our first snow storm of the year. The kids were so excited. I didn't even tell them until today that we were going to have snow. Once it started coming down they immediately wanted to go outside and play. Finally around 3pm we went outside to have some fun. The kids made snow angels, we made a snowman and threw a couple of snowballs at each other.

Brooklyn and Logan go to the Dentist

This morning we took Brooklyn and Logan to their dentist appointment. This was the second time for Brooklyn but the first time for Logan. Logan didn't like it very much which didn't surprise me. I have never liked going to the dentist and that is the reason why my teeth are so bad. Logan does have a couple of cavities that will need to be filled but the only way we can do that is if we have IV sedation. Right there a lone is $1100 out of pocket. I sware, daddy and mommy can never get ahead. The whole visit in itself is around $1700. Who has that kind of money laying around? I am also part to blame on this matter because I give them anything they want and daddy will be the first one to say that I am the contributing factor in all of this. I am always giving them milk and apple juice in sippy cups and especially at night because I want a good nights rest and I don't want to have to get up 5 times unlike my husband who never gets up at night. We will see what will happen. I will keep everyone posted !

A Relaxed Lilly

Our dog Lilly has decided to take a nap on one of our children's animal seats. More times than not I will find her sleeping in these chairs. They are nice and cozy which she likes.
