E.C. VS THE E.C.W :)

 

There are times when you see an opportunity and you just have to seize it.  Seize it I tell ya!

 

Pocket Edward woopin up on some wrestlers!

Logan put Pocket Edward down!!!

Boy you are picky!

 

L.L. is quirky like his Mama.  So yes he gets it honestly.  It is just funny how kids pick up on the same quirks that their parents have.

For instance I only like using certain forks and spoons.  I have to use a longer fork with a thicker handle and it must be rounded.  On the spoon it has to be the teaspoon and still have a thicker rounded handle.

For example this is pretty close to my silverware:

So last night I fixed L.L. his Ramen Noodles, because thats what the boy is living off of right now.  Well most of the silverware was in the dishwasher, because no one in the house can load the dishwasher except me.  All that was left was silverware sorta like this:

(I seriously hope you did not think I had all matching silverware)

I put the fork on the plate and waited.

He comes to get his food and immediately started saying .....

"Ew, Ew, Ew, thats an old fork, its an antique (yeah right), I can't eat off an old fork!"

So since all the other type of forks were in the dishwasher he settled for a plastic fork.  My boy he does have some priorities he will not back down from.

Excuses, Excuses....

Do you have a hard time getting you children to brush their teeth???  Do you have a hard time brushing your own teeth??? (I hope not) 

The night time routine with L.L. is the same:

1. Take your shower

2. I mean it get in the shower

3. L.L. if I have to tell you one more time to get in the shower!!!

4. Logan that was not long enough in the shower there is NO WAY you could have washed off properly.

5. Logan did you wash your hair, come here and let me see

6. You hair is not even wet get back in there and actually take a shower!

7. Did you brush your teeth?

8. Logan go brush your teeth you don't want cavities.

9. Logan go brush your teeth girls don't like boys with stinky breath.

10.  What do you mean you can't use your toothbrush??

Apparently L.L. can no longer use his toothbrush because there was one of these on there.....

Cant say that I blame him.  Lucky for him we have backup toothbrushes.  :)

A.E.P # 1

Alternate Eating Plan Rule # 1 -

Don't beat yourself up for eating a cheeseburger and french fries (From a greasy diner, the best cheeseburgers you can get!)after your son's basketball game. I mean it was totally celebratory, they won their second game (all season!). Everyone knows that celebration dinners are totally calorie and fat free. ~duh~

(Tomorrow is another day)

World Tour

 

RockBand, excuse me I mean Guitar Hero World Tour has taken over our household.  Right now as I am typing Syd is playing AGAIN, and if Jessie were here she would be playing too.

Here are some random pictures of the new phenomenon.

 

This evening was no different.    I come home from work and Syd starts playing the thing.

Only tonight the area she was playing in was occupied by some Lego enemy forces...

She apparently got to close, because this innocent face playing quietly with his legos.....

Did this........

Right hook miss.... Spear, full contact.....

I think the graphics on the Guitar Hero have something to do with it, I think it can cause random violence in 8 year old boys....

I also think it mesmerizes 14 year old girls into playing 14 out of 24 hours a day,  the other 10 are spent sleeping.   As we speak she just finished the last of all the gigs on the World Tour, we just got the thing Thursday!  She has been playing just a weeee bit much!

Just a theory....

Pigs

Some of you will be able to relate.  Some of you may just be in denial.  Some of you will have NO idea what I am talking about.

When you have girls and then a boy, well I think its a little different.  You are used to girls. Girls who want to smell good.  Who want to look pretty and cute.  Who care about what there room looks like.  Hahahaha ok, ok, I am joking on that last one.  The girls room is a mess!

L.L. on the other hand well he is just a mess. Fights to get him in the bath.  In the summer he thinks swimming in the pool is a bath.  He would wear the same clothes everyday if we let him.  Now I will give him this, He does like to smell good when he goes places.  He likes to get into his Dads Ralph Lauren Cologne, and smell good for the girls. His words not mine. 

His room, Its a war zone, literally.  Little army men set up strategically to pierce the foot of any approaching enemy.  Lego warriors, tanks,  and planes scouting the perimeter of the room.  Guarding from the sisters and the dog, who might be looking for the stash of candy that is hidden on top of the bunk bed and inside the video rocker chair (because it now has a split in the middle of it from repeated abuse by L.L. himself).

Sometimes you just have enough of the messiness of it all.  Like when you can smell strange smells coming out of the room.   I am there, I have had enough.  So I sent him and his Daddy into the pit to clean it up.  So far I have seen B.L. come out with 6 glass Coca-Cola bottles left from Christmas, 3 cereal bowls with cereal still in them, 2 plates, and numerous candy wrappers.  They may be in there awhile.

L.L. came out at minute ago and had this to say, now remember he is 8....

L.L: "Mom I don't understand why you want my room clean?  I want to live like a pig."

Me: " You are not going to live like a pig"

L.L: "Why"

Me:  (classic Mommy response) "Because I am the Mom and you are the kid and I said so"

L.L. " I am not a kid, I am a small person and I can live like a pig if I want to, and pigs are cute.

Yes Little Logan they are cute, but you are still not going to live like one.  :)

Its off!!

Thank goodness, because that thing was starting to stink.  :[

 

We got just a tad bit upset when they brought out the saw.  He thought it was going to cut him, and even though the ran it across Mommy's hand and saw that it did not cut her, we still did not believe them.

Remember the other day when I said my kids were ham's when it came to the camera?

Here is more proof.......

Thousands of writings

 

Yesterday when Little Logan got home from school, I asked him what everyone said about his arm.

Me:  What did everyone say?

Logan: They didn't say anything, their eyes opened really wide and their mouths dropped open.  You should see my cast it has like a thousand writings on it.

Look, one up there just says "I am Emilee"  isn't that cute!

He seemed to have lots of I love you's from the girls on there.  Oh the attention I am sure he is getting from them.

While I am taking pictures of his cast, he says..

Mom I am pretending I'm sleeping ok

And here he is playing possum

Man he is a stinker :)

 

So I know that I have been a little here and there on the blog these days.  Just so much going on.  I have so much to do for the holidays, and no time to do them.  This weekend I have got to get cleaning and decorating done.   If I don't work on the decorating this weekend, it might not get done.  The holiday season is barely here and I am already  behind.  If I don't really post this weekend, don't worry I am around.  I will still be watching you.  :)

Monday I get a call from school.....

School:  This is the Nurse, Logan just fell off the Monkey Bars.  He says he hurt his elbow.  I have put ice on it and he seems to be ok, but we wanted you to know.

Me:  I am sure he just hurt his funny bone, send him back to class, I am sure he is ok.  I will get my friend Kerry who works there at the school to come and check on him.

-------

Me typing an e.mail to friend......

Hey can you go check on Logan, He fell off the Monkey Bars and the Nurse thinks he might be ok, can you go look at it?

Kerry:  He was able to pull his arm out of his shirt, but he says it still hurts some.

Me:  Ok, I am sure he is fine, probably just bruised his funny bone.

Tuesday

Sent him to school, his arm seems fine.  He says it hurts some, but I think it may just be bruised.  He is fine......

Wednesday

Notice it is still bothering him, even in his sleep.  Uh-Oh  :(  He screams in pain trying to put his shirt on.  Umm double uh-oh....

Me: Hi doctor?  I think we may have a problem......

Here we are at the doctor....

Here  we are getting a cast put on....

This would be more proof that We are THAT Family. 

For more Fro' Me to You's head on over to Kristen's at We are THAT Family.

I know this does not fall under the complete guidelines, but I am not sure if I am gonna scrapbook my My Mommy Uh-Oh's.  Now seeing as it was his first ever broke bone, I might scrapbook that.  :)
