BREAKING NEWS...Fugitives on the loose!

I just love the kids' school. Today, these were in their back packs. They've been doing a western type theme the last few weeks.

Fresh As A Daisy

Is something we have not been lately. Big kid beds! Cripes! I went to bed around 12:45 am & woke up to the boys playing at about 3:15 am. I went in their room & the lights were on & Jonah was on Jasper's bed. I told him he could sleep there, but they had to remain in bed & keep the lights OFF! So this morning, no one wanted to get out of bed for school. Would it be too terrible if I duct taped them to their beds at night? :)

They are now napping & that is exactly what I'm going to do. My eyes are rolling back in my head. So for anyone who tries to call me, I have both phones turned off. :)

So....I'm tired

Life has been tiring ever since the new beds. Thank you very much, Grandma & Grandpa Wright! :) I'm teasing. Not about being tired, though. I know it was time for them to go in big beds. But the sleeping has been a lot less...for all of us. They are usually in bed by 8:30 pm, but the boys have been staying up until 10 pm or so. I stay up until midnight or after. I have to. I feel like I need that "me" time. The morning comes early. For instance, it was 5:30 am this morning. It is 7:10 am & I'm sitting here blogging while I have 3 kiddos running around. One, Jonah, who is pushing my CD drive in & out & in & out.

We may actually be on time for school today!

Jasper Wanted To Look Nice For School

So he decided to put on makeup. I think the Barbie Blue really brings out his brown eyes. However, in one of the shots, it looks like I punched him in the eye.

Kisen Boy

My nephew...isn't he gorgeous!?

Go Trojans!

Not the Trojan's you are probably thinking of. It's the football team that my nephew, Trev, plays on. We've managed to make it to a few of his games so far. The kids like going & they love the .25 popcorn.


Number 41...Trevor!

Okay, do you see where I have drawn the arrows on the following picture? One of the little cheerleaders looked pregnant to me. I couldn't stop staring. None of them are older than 6th grade. It didn't look like little girl chub to me. It really looked like a pregnant belly! Just as I tried to conspicuously take the picture, that other girl got in front of her.

But you can still see a bit of the belly.

Brings back the days when I was a cheerleader for the Browns.

My uncle Tony & my dad. Such handsome guys.

I'll fill you in

Once again, I have slacked on my blogging. It seems like life is moving so quickly. I've also been taking more pictures & that takes up some time. It is so much fun though. And, I'm getting some business from it. So let's see...here are some things that have been happening:

~Grandma & Grandpa Wright bought the kids their new twin beds. They are awesome. The kids are adjusting still. The boys like to party. Jonah likes to flip the lights on & off & on & off & on & off. Most mornings, they are asleep with the light on. He will get up in the middle of the night & turn it on. Iz is doing okay in hers. She did get up last night & come to our bed about 12:45. I remember it, but I apparently let her in. Never have we co-slept with the kids. It is my great fear that they would never leave. :) I fell right back asleep & she did too. I have to say, it was sweet...but no more! Yea, we'll see about that.

~Jasper has yet to poop in the potty. What are we going on now? Like a month of training? He usually pees okay. Needless to say, we have been cleaning up our fair share of crap. Iz is fully potty trained. Jonah is still a no-go.

~The kids are LOVING school. We are late every morning. I think the teachers are use to it. I really do try to get there on time. But it is really hard to get three 3 year olds ready & to school by 8 am by myself. I've given up on trying to look decent to take them. Heck, I don't even put on my bra sometimes. I'll just throw on a sweatshirt to cover it! And brushing my teeth!? Well, that waits until I get home from taking them.

~Isabel has developed a major attitude. She's very bossy & is enjoying throwing herself on the ground while kicking & screaming & yelling, "NO!" I am too lenient on them. I'm not a big spanker. We were coming home from Target last night & no joke, she said she wanted juice AT LEAST 30 times. We told her over & over that we had none in the van & we would get her some as soon as we got home. I got to the point where I wanted to peel my own flesh off & eat it in a corner. Then, we got to the point of dying laughing. It was almost demonic. We would laugh hysterically towards the end. It was like, "HA, HA, HA, HA...oh, my lord, someone please gouge my eyeballs out...HA, HA, HA!" At one point, I said, "Isabel, I'm going to have daddy pull the van over & I'm going to get out & spank your butt!" Nate said, "Yea, Sure. She will think you are playing patty cake with her butt cheeks." True.

So, those are some things that are going on around here. I know I will have loads of pictures from the last month to upload.
