Sometimes my kids say the most random things!
I took the kids out to see Trav's parents tonight b/c we haven't been out there in almost 2 weeks & I'm not sure when we'll make it back out there again. Anyway, we were on our way home tonight & Caleb was being fussy. Mind you when we're in the Saturn & all 3 kids are in the back seat, we get kinda cozy & personal. Well, being the fabulous big sister that she is, Samantha started singing to Caleb to get him to calm down & go to sleep. This girl makes up some good songs if you take the time to just sit & listen. Tonight I just happened to be listening & I'm glad I was b/c it was a great laugh!.....
Samantha: "Little Miss Muffett sat on her tuffet, eating her turds away..."
Yep...I laughed so hard I nearly had to pull over! I finally got control of myself & asked Samantha what it was she had said (thinking maybe I heard her wrong). She repeated the above & I again broke out into the giggles. I finally stopped giggling & was able to correct her. Try as she might though, it kept coming out "eating her turds away..." Even after I explained what "Curds & whey" are!! She' not usually the type to keep saying something incorrect once she's been told what it should be. Guess we'll keep working on it!!

Good Bye Baby Mullett
Well, my mom cut Caleb's hair tonight. I wore the cape and Caleb fed me the hair pick - yes, I said he fed it to me. He definitely did not want to hold still (be glad you missed this one Nat!). There are still a few straggler hairs but they will have to wait for another day! The pix aren't fabulous, but they will have to do. You might notice in one that his eyes are kind of red - he took 1 (ONE) 30 minute nap today & was up from 8 am until 9:30 pm. GRRRRR......
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE - I had Caleb in the ENT's office today (don't say a WORD) & he said that Caleb's ear looks fantastic! Holy cow! It only took 1 year, a zillion trips to InstaCare & CV ENT, 2 sets of tubes & 3 visits to the chiropractor (with about 6 more to come in the next 2 weeks)! Pray that it lasts!!!!!
Check out the cute little curls going every which direction - makes for some killer bed head! Not to mention it is sticking straight out on its own because he rubs his food in his hair when he gets bored!
This is the one that you can tell he's super tired.
Like how boofy it is on top? It was too long to mohawk again but not sticking straight in the air like his brother's hair does.
Well, he had to taste it too you know! My handsome little man...no more boofy mop top.
Not the best tasting object in the world! Notice the cute curls are all gone... :( I hope they grow back but I don't think they will.
Not quite so much boofiness on top now! The back is still kinda long, but we couldn't get him to look at his toes!

Pictures
This first picture is just a random one. I saw this idea at school. This is just one of those plastic picture frames that holds 2 5x7 pictures in it that they made into a calendar! I took a picture so I can remember how to make them for Christmas!
My patient Nash - he does NOT look comfortable at all! He was completely exhausted...
The toothless grin....

Toothless...
Alright, I know, bad mother moment - I don't have a picture yet. But, to be fair, my camera is in my car waiting to go to school with me tomorrow!
On Monday night Travis got in the pool with the kids at my parents' house. Samantha had an incident & smashed her face against the edge of the pool. Crisis averted. (One mention of tooth pulling & you'd have thought I was slitting her throat!)
Skip forward to tonight. We'd been at my parents' house again & she'd been in the pool, again, but there was no face smashing incident. She ate dinner and everything was just peachy. Then....we got home. She decided she hadn't had enough dinner & wanted some toast & raspberry jam (the girl eats this by the truck load). I was off getting something for Nash when he comes & tells me "Mom, Sam got hurt." I go to the bathroom & find her with a mouth full of blood. She bit her toast & it must have bent her tooth funny because even though there was a bunch of blood, the stupid tooth was still in her mouth hanging on for dear life. After 45 min. of trying to convince her that she wasn't in fact dying and that she would feel much better if she'd just pull it, I told her I was just going to do it for her. Picture in your mind a child actually trying to climb the walls to get away from you and screaming like a wild banchee. I put my hand up NEAR her mouth & in her hysterics she swatted my hand away & hit herself in the face & knocked her own tooth out without me ever even touching it!
Meanwhile, Nash passed out in the hallway from exhaustion while waiting for me to help him put his pjs on. Now that the bleeding has ceased, & she has realized she is NOT dying, I think she might be able to eat her beloved toast again!
