My babies :)

Love these little monkeys :)

Rotten boy :)

Gabe, you certainly do keep your momma on her toes! Thursday morning I got Hannah out of her bath and went into her room to help her get her clothes picked out. Her room is right accross from the bathroom, so when I heard a splash, I went to investigate :) This is what I found...




Silly, rotten boy :)

Hannah and the book :)

Part of what we are working on in "school" right now with Hannah is sounding out words. She does pretty well, and last week we started working on these little books that are part of our cirriculum. The super nerdy part of me was really excited for this week to come, and I have to say, it was not a let down. Hannah did really well, and can now officially read her first book!! It may only have 5 words in it, but I still think it counts :)

I am super proud of my little girl, and I truly hope that she grows to enjoy reading as much as her daddy and I do!

The Oatmeal Hypothesis

As I mentioned in the previous post, this past week has been a bit on the "poopy" side :) So in order to cope I resorted to chocolate :) Hannah and I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to help mommy destress :) Which brings me to my oatmeal hypothesis...cookies made with oatmeal are only half as bad for you as regular chocolate chip cookies. And because they are only half as unhealthy, then you can eat twice as many :) What do you think?

I did use raw sugar and wheat flour when baking these, so maybe that means I can eat 3 times as many... :) *

This guy...

Is coming home today, and I am so glad! The hubby has been traveling for work all week, and it has been a rough week. Normally when he is gone, things carry on in the normal manner, but this week...not so much. The kids slept like poo all week. Gabe and Hannah each pooped in the tub at one point. The dog pooped in the house twice. Gabe pooped on the floor and the dog ate it. (Anyone sensing a theme here... :) ) Gabe threw my wallet in the tub and ruined. And those were just the big things :) There were more temper tantrums than normal, and a lot less sleep than normal. So in light of all the poo, I am so glad that Nick will be home this evening. It's not that I can't do this mommy thing without him, I just really really don't want to :) Love you honey!

Parade :)
