We had been implementing the whole - sing happy birthday to yourself twice while you brush your teeth in attempt to actually get some of the sugar bugs out. Jdog totally caught on, Crazy T would put the toothbrush in his mouth and actually sing happy birthday... no brushing occurred per say.

My new obsession... picked up on a whim at Tarjay:

The boys love them and I am no longer having to be the tooth brushing police! The tooth brush flashes for 60 seconds - bonus is its even a bit longer than the old happy birthday song and dance... Eventually we will get to one flash for the top and one flash for the bottom... baby steps.

And... just for the record, no, i am not getting paid for this public service announcement... but if the fine folks at firefly want to hook a sista up... i'll happily oblige.

a little of this and that

apparently the photobooth on the apple never gets old! :)

* if it doesn't stop snowing soon I am going to make plans to migrate south with the birds next year... my kids haven't had a full week of school since I think 2011 started... killing me. not them. just me.

* I just realized that my due date is smack in the middle of the kids spring break. Nice.

*You really shouldn't register your first born for Kindergarten while hormonally pregnant. It's not pretty. You might do the ugly cry on the way back to your car.

*Eeeeek! AJ finally signed off on knocking the wall down between our kitchen and playroom. I am getting nervous- demo day was supposed to be today but since the snow is pushing back other projects for "Fix It Dan"- it is now scheduled for this weekend. It won't change the fact that we still have a kitchen from the days of Mad Men, but I'm kinda partial to my 1950's stove and oven as they still work! My Bosch 3 yr old dishwasher that was purchased by the previous owners has been a total NIGHTMARE- a story for another post! ;0)

*Thomas has made it till 5pm two days in a row with dry pull ups... so maybe he won't go to college in diapers... however- he's playing me because as soon as he got sent to his room for, insert inappropriate action of choice, he peed in said dry pull up.... BOTH NIGHTS.

So much for my new years resolution....

Me: "Thomas, Why don't you want to go on the potty like all the big kids?"

Crazy T: "I can't go on the potty, I'm allergic!"

How can I argue with that logic.

Merry Christmas!

"The twees are bwoken... all the leaves falled off!" - Thomas, age 2.5

....a conversation that followed the breakfast debate of when to get the super power leaf blower....

Halloween 2010!

It's crazy-ville around here! Wanted to just post a quick.....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
this will be our last Halloween as a family of four! ;)

Are my bathrooms dirty?

Jack potty trained himself at the gym babysitting room and apparently Thomas is going to follow in his footsteps!

He peed on the potty at school today! Hip Hip Hooray we are one day closer to a diaper free house.

If anyone ever told the younger, stupider, carefree me I would be so excited about pee on the potty, finishing dinners or days at school with no biting, hitting or pushing reports I would have rolled my eyes... oh no but now we make up songs about the like and well, my old self would have thought that's just kind of lame ;).
