The Circus!

Josh got some buy one get one free tickets to the circus from a girl at work on Friday, so today we took the kids! We got there about one hour early and got GREAT seats, we were right in the front row but on one of the ends. We just so happened to pick the end that almost everything happened at! It was a VERY long circus-it went from 10:30-1:30 with a half hour intermission!

For the first half hour Lucie was a little unsure and had a deathgrip on my hand!

Always an optimist!

I think most children are much more optimistic then adults. Today I am getting one of my wisdom teeth pulled. I have really good teeth, never a problem and maybe three cavities in my life-so I am a little nervous. We were eating breakfast and I told the kids they were going to grandma's for a little so the dentist could take my tooth out. Grant immediately got REALLY excited and goes "WOW mom, you get to put it under your pillow and the toothfairy will bring you a quarter or fifty cents." How sweet-how can you be nervous when the toothfairy is coming( I am hoping for fifty cents)!!

First Trip to the Zoo this year.

So on Friday I took the kids to the Zoo, I have felt like a deadbeat mom because my last couple of days off I have stayed home and cleaned so no matter what-we were going to the Zoo! It was a balming 20 degrees out, but that didn't stop us. There were almost no animals outside so we had to go inside. We did have two memorable animal experiences. We were in the lion house and two lions were fighting/playing and they would run up to each other and jump at each other, etc. It was AWSOME(like Grant says).


Grant was helping Lucie pull the "ARE YOU AS STRONG AS A BABY GORILLA" thing.


Lucie went up to an exhibit and she couldn't see anything inside so she put one hand on the glass and her head on the glass and then she turned and looked at me with the back of her head on the glass. Just then a baby monkey came up to the glass where she was and put his hand right on top of hers and pressed his head to the glass right on hers. I was so excited I told Lucie to turn around and it scared her so she ran away. When I finally got her to go back the monkey was just peering over the edge. I am NOT an animal person but this was sooo sweet!!




SOOO EXCITED
Do you remember being a kid and getting something you had wanted for a long time, as soon as you got it you wore it/used it/etc. even if it didn't make any sense to at the time. Well on Saturday we went to the outdoor outlet mall about 45 minutes away. Grant had been asking for sunglasses for quite awhile since he lost his last ones. We went to Childrens Place and they had killer sales-including there sunglasses!! So I bought him a pair and he was in heaven. He had to wear them the rest of the time, so there we were outside, with a windchill of close to ZERO, it was snowing and we had HORRIBLE blowing snow-and this was my son, you can see the JOY on his face!!!

I have had ENOUGH!

I am sick of cleaning up messes I don't make, so I take it upon myself to give the kids a five minute headstart to clean their toys. Then in five minutes I went upstairs with rubbermaid bins and I started "CLEANING" my way. This is what Lucie said-it was hilarious!!

ME AM SO NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW
ME AM POUTING MOM
MOM MOM ME AM POUTING
ME AM NEVER GOING TO THE WATERPARK
ME AM NOT THINKING ABOUT IT
ME DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT
ME NOT HAPPY BOUT IT
ME IS NOT GOING TO GROW UP AND NOT GOING TO BE A MOM
ME SERIOUS

Grant then goes, wow she is a GRUMPIS-HUMPIS(he is into the rhyming thing)

I can't wait until she is a teenager!!

Funny Conversation!

This story was soo funny so I hope it is funny to just read it. This is a conversation between Grant and Lucie on our way to Piggly Wiggly.

Lucie keeps singing "you get the best of both worlds" song from Hannah Montana

Grant: Lucie stop singing

Lucie: You get the best of both worlds....

Grant: Lucie stop

Lucie: You get the ..........

Grant: Lucie you can only sing "You get the best of both worlds" if you sing ABC first.

Lucie: AB

Grant: NO BACKWARDS


It was soo funny, I wonder where kids get things like that.

My poor baby!

Josh picked Grant up on his way home from work and I went to watch Lucie dance, then came home. As soon as I got home I commented on how pale Grant looked and his eyes were dark, he wasn't lathargic but he wasn't himself. He sat at the table for about 2 minutes looked at his food and said he was done, he ate about 2 bites of an apple-he loves fruit. I continued to make comments about how awful he looked-I blow alot of things out of proportion so Josh kept saying he was fine. At 7:45(three hours after I got home)he started to throw up. Poor guy, he was up all night throwing up. He is such a trooper, I hope he feels better SOON!

Messing with it AGAIN!

I am trying to change my blog again, so if things look funny or come down they will be up agian in a few days!
