This is what it is....

Here is my pathetic and lame attempt to make Bakerella's trick or treats, mine are supposed to be eyeballs!!
lol





It's WAYYYY harder to make than she makes it look on her site!!!

I'm feeling pretty upset right now....I just found out that my friend Jayme,aka out_of_mana who has twin boys Ryan and Dylan- a month older than Anthony, that one of her twins--Ryan--has retinoblastoma in BOTH eyes!!!
I'm just sooo upset for her.....she's a 3 times loss mama---that means that she's buried THREE babies, and now this---how much can ONE mama handle??
Her hubby was deployed, so the Red Cross is sending him home to be with her and help her and their boys!!!

I'd love for you all to join me in prayer for them all!!

Up till 1 am with fussy gassy baby.
Up again at 3 with fussy gassy baby.
And up now for the day at 5:30 with fussy gassy baby, and toddler that the baby awoke.

It's gonna be a GREAT DAY!!

This morning before school Charlie causually mentioned to me that he thinks he *effed* his math test yesterday..... I was like ummm what?!? He repeated that he'd *effed* his test! I loled and then explained to him that he needs to say *i got an f* and not *effed* because it meant the f word. He got a horrified look on his face as the realization dawned on him what he'd said! Lol! What a kid!

Just got back from taking Hope and Charlie to the dentist for cleanings.
Alex watched.
Next time, in 6 months, he'll get a cleaning too....hopefully!! LOL!

Bad news, Charlie and Hope both have cavities and have to each have 2 more appts to get them all fixed.

UGH!!
 

The hygenist asked if Hope drinks alot of juice, I said no, she usually wants water or milk.
Then she asked if she chews alot of gum. yep.
What kind? I said the one in the pink round thing, and it's a loooong piece--oh Tape Gum? yep.
Evidentally that is one of the WORST sugary gums ever, and her teeth are decalcifying at the gum line...
sigh.
So NO MORE tape gum, daddy is the one to buy it for her all the time!!! So HE'S getting a talkin to when he gets home!

And the dentist also lectured them on brushing MORE.
 

I guess I get to be the *healthy snack nazi* and *brush your teeth nazi* and *NO GUM nazi* now....sounds like fun to me!!
ha,

Alex did okish, watching, but his attention span is like 45 seconds long, so hopefully in 6 months he'll be
able to sit thru a cleaning!! ha. We shall see!!

ok, off to make them brush their teeth!! 

It's sooo sweet that Alex is starting to share.....but NOT so sweet when he's trying to
share his sweet tarts candies with the baby!! He was laying next to him, and then I heard
him say, "here baby, you need one" and so I went to look, and here was a sweet tart, sitting
on Anthony's cheek, that Alex had put IN his mouth, but that GOD that Anthony spit it out!
Thank God for tongue thrust reflex!!!
whew
So I had a talk with Alex about what Anthony can eat--only milk from mama's booboos....and how
Anthony is not a big boy like Alex....I hope he gets it and does not choke the baby while sharing!!
eek!!

This morning I nursed Anthony, then set him in his lil bouncer seat....he's such a
content baby.
So he started sucking on his hands and cooing, etc....next think I know he's
quiet,
so I look over at him and I see this. too cute!!




Sound Asleep!!


He also slept thru the night again last night. From 10:30 to 6:30!!

And after his morning nap, I heard him *talking*, so I went up a few minutes
later to check on him, and he was just laying there, looking around and talking
to himself....he's soooooo GOOD!!

Gosh, I just cannot get over how SWEET he is, and soooo CONTENT!
God knew I really needed a good baby, after having Hope and Alex aka Miss Sassy Pants and Mr. Messy.
LOL!!!

ok, off to take a nap with my kiddos!!!

This morning, Charlie made instant oatmeal packets for himself and Alex, then Hopey came upstairs, hungry.
And of course dressed in her finest tights, dress and a crown with a handkerchief under it, over her hair!
I said, Go have Charlie make you an oatmeal.
She looked at me, incredulous and said with distain: "Princesses don't eat oatmeal."
and shook her head, like she couldn't believe that I didn't know that!!
So I asked her what Princesses DO eat, "Fruit!" she stated.
ok then....!!!!
LOL

So the other day, These came in the mail from my fluffy mail fairy!

A diaper and matching booties, and booties to match the diapers I
already had made!!!!
Squeeee!!!



And do you see that tiny little teensy diaper????

SQUEEEEEE!!
 

It's for my keychain!!!!

And it actually opens up like a REAL diaper, and it's sooo tiny!!!

And booties to match the diaper covers I already got from her!!!
 

soooo cute!!!

And my sweet boy modeling them!!




THANK YOU diaper fairy----you totally made my WEEK with that package!!!!!!!!
HUGS!!

This baby of mine!
He's sooo sweet and content and just amazingly delicious!!

 

I love when he's nursing, and will look up and me and smile, then dive back again onto the breast,
nursing furiously, as if to make up for those few sucks that he missed by grinning at me,
but then he does it again, like he just cannot help himself,
but to tickle the fancy of the giver of the milks, with a gorgeous little grin.



Then, he falls asleep, still hooked up....sucking occasionally,
as if my breast is a paci....or maybe reassuring himself that he's still in my warm loving arms...

There is just something YUMMY about a sleeping baby, snuggled deep into your arms,
fully relaxed and breathing deeply....just makes me feel soo...... mushy inside......
I want to just eat him, I love him so much!
The feel of his little body just fully trusting, resting on me is amazing....
the curve of his fat lil cheeks and the soft rise and fall of his chest....
an occasional little moan or grunt, as he dreams of only-God-knows-what.....
his sweet little chubby hands relaxed, the deep dimples of his knuckles......
his lips parted as he is completely resting.....I'm just sooo amazed at the lovleyness of him......
the delicious way his head fits into the curve of my neck,
and the perfection of his lil bum resting on my arm.....
the feel of his smallness, the sweetness of his back.....
the chubbiness of his legs, his tiny fat feet....
Just everything about him is soooo delicious!
he's just SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

My sister just announced her pregnancy!! She's due with #3 in May 2010!!!!!!

I'm sooooo excited for her!!
I was just telling my friends that she needs to get preggo, since she and I have gone back and forth
having babies since Hope!!
So, she kept up her end! LOL!
And I'll be passing the torch to Laura, my brother's wife-- for my year! LOL!

Anyhoo--here is how my sis told me!!




Look at how HAPPY she looks! Isn't she just a BEAUTFUL preggo!!??
 

!
 

Just cuz he's cute!!

Still working on the never-ending mountain of laundry....sigh... still think that a dressing room/laundry room is a fabulous idea! LOL!

My computer is still wacky. My friend Dani and her hubby came over to try to fix it, but we ran out of time, had to go out of town to feed their horses. Charlie and Hope got to ride!

I took these with my cell phone, so they are sorta not the greatest quality. heh







Then after the riding, we went out to a new friends Potato Farm for our Small Group Bible study....and while we were there we got to pick potatos and sweet corn and take as much as we wanted FOR FREE!! It was sooo fun! So now I have a tote full of potatos and a drawer full of sweet corn....so guess what we've been eating for every dinner! LOL!!
It was so fun!
Even Charlie had a great time, he usually is all bored and all--when are we going hoooome?? lol, but there were 4 other teenaged boys there, who he is friends with, so the all had fun riding 4 wheeler down to the lake and doing boy stuff!
I helped make potatos for dinner, and got a BLISTER on my fnger from her knife. I'm used to my cutco knives and not cheap ones! LOL


Then yesterday, I spent the entire day doing laundry!
sigh.
Hope had preschool and dance, so it was a run run busy day...good thing my hubby was home!!

Today, finishing up some laundry today, and just taking easy.
I'm not feeling so great.
Sorta nauseaus....but not like I'll actually barf, and it's just random, not constant.
And yesterday I learned the meaning of *explosive diahrea*--ugh. TMI,  Iknow!

Tomorrow is playgroup, and Hope has preschool.

I'm a busy busy mama!! LOL
