Are you serious??

Ok, I am having one of those days. It's 12:20pm and we are all still in pj's, uncombed hair, and our house is one big MESS! I don't even care...I woke up feeling that way. So when we woke up and I realized it was going to be that kind of day I decided that I would be an awesome mom today and let my kids eat some left over ghost cake (from our halloween party last night) for breakfast. I thought that they would jump at the chance and that they would think I am the coolest.

So I asked them if they would like to eat some of our spooky cake for breakfast and they both looked at me and said, "No thanks mom...can we have cheerios and yogurt instead?"

WHAT! Are they serious? What kids would choose cheerios over cake? So there we were at the kitchen table...them with their cheerios and me with my cake. Oh well!

Suggestions? Son saying rude words

I have a problem that I wondered if you all could help me with. My sweet little boy who just turned three has learned some rude words. He has been saying "shut-up" and "stupid." I don't know where he got these phrases, but I know it has to stop. I have tried punishing him for saying these things, but it seems like he maybe wants attention and that is why he is saying these things. I have tried to explain that these are not nice things to say and he just looks at me like "huh?" Any opinions or suggestions?

Calling All Bloggers!

Hi everyone! This is my first post here, although I have been checking it often for quite awhile now. Here's the reason for it: My sister-in-law has this site called Occasional Genius. It is part blog, part idea site. She has tons of ideas for decorating, parties, holidays, baby showers, you name it, she's got it. The blog part is pretty new and she is trying to get people to come and participate - she wants to make it a place where she puts up ideas (and some funny commentary) each day, but also other people can add things in different categories. Right now she is asking people to do a post of old Halloween costumes so that she can put them all together and make a little Halloween section where people can come and get ideas. So, first go here: http://occasionalgenius.com/2008/10/07/the-instigator/. She explains what to do. Then follow the instructions and put a post on your blog with old costume pics. Put her link on there (pretty please!) so that all of your wonderful visitors can check it out themselves and add their posts. It should be pretty fun! The site really does have tons of great stuff on it. Holly is kind of legendary in our family for her fabulous ideas. So go check it out.

This is why I hate Sidewalk Chalk...

So, I am new to this blog and I'm really excited. I am a mother of 4 little boys (2 of which are twins as seen in the picture above) I definitely have my hands full and am sure I will be sharing lots of interesting stories about what my boys come up with. I am also looking forward to laughing with you as I read what you are going through.

As you can see, I hate sidewalk chalk. I posted this on my family blog too but I thought it was so funny I'd share it here too. I am banning the stuff from my house! If any of you are in dire need of it, please let me know and I will be happy to give it to you! I can't understand how they always seem to color more on themselves (or anything else) more than the sidewalk! Does it look like they know they are in trouble? What a mess!
