Girls Pajama Party!!!

Breelyn and I had a pajama party in mommy's and daddy's bed. Yes... I am the cheesy mommy who bought matching jammies. Janin thought I was pretty silly having matching jammies but she is my only daughter (Janin says for now) ha ha. I have waited a long time for a little girl. I absolutely love having my precious boys but now I am not the only female in the house.

I enjoy times like these so much. I love when your children are still babies and they look at you with such adoration.

Belated Valentine's Day update!!!

Valentine's Day was a lot of fun. It was just my three kids and I. We made cookies to decorate with lots of pink frosting and candies. They were both more interested in licking the frosting from the bowl then decorating and eating their cookies. It figures :-)

I was taking "naked bottom" pictures of Breelyn and Aden wanted in on the action. He is such a ham... I swear. Deegan would have also wanted to be in the pictures but he was busy driving his cars on the fireplace bench. Something he does daily.

My awesome husband surprised me and took me for a massage and to a hotel overnight. Janin's sister, Tami, and my brother-in-law, Lawrence, stayed here with all 3 of our children. How lucky are we??? It was nice to get to have a normal adult conversation with my husband without being interrupted by three midget-humans that look like us. It was strange to be without our children overnight, but enjoyable all the same.

it's times like these...

Ohhh my little Deegan!!! He is growing and changing ohhh so much. He keeps me on my toes, causes me to clench my teeth and makes me laugh until my side hurts. He told me the other day... after I took the "broken" poptart out of the package and handed it to him, " ahhhh mom (big sigh) that's not supposed to happen". I just laughed !!! He is becoming such a young man at almost 3 years old. On a different note... I decided (MOM) it was time to pull out the old wooden spoon for discipline. I have been trying many approaches with him with no success. I have not gotten to this point with Aden so this is new for me. I haven't actually had to spank him with the spoon... he has gotten very close but just leaving it on the counter and reminding him it is there is all that has been necessary, SO FAR!! I have to hold back the smile sometimes when I show him the spoon because it brings me back to my childhood. Today was Deegan's day. He pooped in his underwear, again, and I found myself soaking the underwear in the toilet in order to get them cleaned off enough to go into the washer. I can't keep throwing the nasty underwear away! lol This was going on while Breelyn was crying because I had riped the bottle from her mouth in order to keep Deegan from pulling his dirty pants off himself. Later in the day... Deegan got up from his nap and came running out of his room as happy as a clam. All I could do was double over in a hysterical laughter. Pink marker all over his forehead, hands, legs (and later discovered, his bed) and he was no wiser to the fact. So sometime after he went for his nap he had a van Gogh moment. My little Deegan, what a precious boy he is!
