Just Curious

A friend of mine has the kids today so I can work on packing and cleaning. We move in about 9 days and I'm feeling pretty good. I started packing a while ago, so I don't have much left. I was a little overzealous in my packing, because Nate keeps having to unpack all the kitchen things I put in boxes (I guess we can't go a month without needing measuring cups).

As I was taking a lunch break today I was looking over my blog stats and was quite surprised to see how many people view my blog each week. It even tells me how many from each country. I would love to find out who is actually visiting this site (think of it as a late Birthday present for me, because I'm sure you all intended to send me something). To give you an extra incentive everyone who leaves a comment before Sunday will be entered into a contest. I'll announce the winner Sunday night, and I promise it will be a very good prize!

Privacy

This morning when I tried to sneak into the bathroom without being noticed:

Piper burst in: "Mommmmmmy" she stops, listens. "Mommmmy" she squeals "YOU GO POTTY", claps, "YEA MOMMY, you get candy".


Ya know what, I will take the candy. It's just been that kind of a morning.

Life with a boy

What is that in the grass?

 Hmm let me pick it up and see.

Oh mom, it's just a toad.

Little Red Wagon

The wagon has been quite popular around here lately. It seats two, but the problem is that three people and a dog want to get in. They have figured a way to make it work and much to my surprise there is very little kicking involved. 

I usually pull them across the field that is next to our house. Juno usually bails midway through the ride and Asher runs after her.

Piper's Prayer

At dinner last night this was Piper's prayer:

Dear God thank you for the snakes and butts. Amen.

Brothers

I remember when I was pregnant with each kid dreaming about what they would be like. With Piper and Dexter I really envisioned such love between the kids. So far that hasn't happened. Asher and Piper fight all the time. Asher is constantly annoying Piper and in return Pipes screeches about it. Let me tell you it's a blast to witness. I was really hoping when Dex came along Piper would turn into a little mommy and really have an interest in Dex. Once again my expectations were way too high. Asher and Piper basically ignore the little guy. I'm hoping this changes as they get older, or at the very least Piper stops making jungle noises in protest to Asher. 

 The other day while princess Piper was finally napping I got some shots of the boys. Dex has a cold this week, which is the reason he looks like a zombie in these pictures.

 Asher did have fun here, until Dex tried to bite his back. I purposefully didn't include the picture of Asher throwing Dexter off his back.

In case you haven't heard we are moving in three weeks. Our loan finally went through on the new house. I am so so so relieved that we have renters moving in here and we get to move to an amazing place. Asher and Dexter will be sharing a room there.

Glove Puppets

Even though I have neglected posting about our crafting lately we have been keeping up on it. A few weeks ago I watched Jada and Bennett in the morning and we made glove puppets. I found some really cheap gloves at wal-mart and we converted them into bunnies.

 I think they are pretty cute!

I haven't gotten to any crafts this week for a few reasons. One is we are packing up the house and I started putting a lot of that stuff away. Two it's really warm out and I prefer to have the kids outside if possible. The third reason is Dex has a bad cold this week and if he is awake he wants to be held. Most of my crafts involve a glue gun and doing that with a wiggly Dexty in my arms may not end so well.
