I'm not one of those moms

Unfortunately, I'm not one of those scrapbooking moms. I really wish I was for the sake of my kids memories, but this blog is my way of scrapbooking if you will. I do however, send emails to my friends and family from time to time with funny kid stories. So I'm going to back track a little right now and put in a couple email stories I sent out this summer.....



Pure Chaos

Time for another funny kid story…. I was giving all three kids a bath in our bathtub the other night and I asked them to pick up all their toys because it was time to get out and get ready for bed. So they get all their toys in the basket and Maya lays down in the bath because she likes to wait for ALL of the damn water to run out of the tub before she gets out (which takes forever in those garden tubs – and she pushes every last drop of water down the drain – I’m rolling my eyes as I type this). So, Maya is laying down, Camden is sitting indian style admiring his buddy (refresher, this is what we call his penis) and Braeden stands up and puts his arms out for me to get him out of the tub. I’m reaching down for Braeden and Camden gasps in excitement (keep in mind Braeden’s midsection is eye level with Camden at this point) “mommy, Braeden’s buddy is getting bigger! It’s going to be big like mine someday right?!?! “ (I’m thinking Braeden’s buddy is “getting bigger” literally, so I look over and sigh in relief realizing that’s not what he meant) Then Camden reaches down to inspect his buddy and do a comparison of his and Braeden’s buddies. He then proceeds to look at Maya’s midsection closely and he looks back and me and says “mommy, you and Maya don’t have buddies, right? But Braeden is getting bigger and his will be like mine one day right?” I’m laughing so hard at this point that I have no clue what to say to him, so I just continue to get them out of the bath, dry them off, wrap their towels around them and we head to the living room to get pajamas on. Well I’m on the floor getting Braeden dressed and Maya and Camden are both running around the house NAKED!! I tell them to stop running and get their pajamas on. A few seconds later I look over and Maya is still naked, doing a headstand with one leg on the couch and the other on the ottoman to prop her up because she can’t do a free standing headstand yet. Basically she’s spread eagle and she’s still naked! What the hell is wrong with my house!?!?!

Pre-School Graduation

Camden graduated from pre-K in May and the program was sooo cute, they sang songs and said their pledges, wore the graduation caps and even walked across the stage to get their “diploma”!!!
















Camden lost two teeth in two months!

My kids seem to be growing up way too fast! Camden graduates pre-K one week and the very next he loses his first tooth! He then loses another just two months later.....boohoo
