This Moment- Tiny Pink Chucks

{this moment} – A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.  If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your “moment” in the comments for all to find and see.

Seriously,This Kid Can Bust Out Yo Eardrums

Tiny has released a whole new arsenal of tricks. Starting with the scream. Anytime she wants out of baby jail or the playroom she stands there and screams. Not cries. Screams. Our conversation goes like this:

BE: Tiny one sec I need to go pee pee (yes, I say pee pee she doesn't know what urinate means)

Tiny: EEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHBAHBAHHHHHAHHHH(at this point my ears are ringing)AAAAA

BE: Ok, Baby one minute I will be right there!

Tiny: AHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

BE:  I got ya Baby please PLEASE one more minute.

Tiny: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


She is also standing full time now and surprises the heck out of herself every time she goes from sitting to standing. She also gets this hilarious look on her face when you tell her "No Tiny".

Momma say WHAT!!??!!??

BG has been traveling on a weird schedule. He has been in and out randomly for the past two weeks. Last night I went grocery shopping WITH BOTH THE GIRLS BY MYSELF.  It was terrifying but I had to do it because we do need to eat. Little was a team player and let me pile groceries all around her in the shopping cart, so as a bribe I purchased her some chocolate pudding for BIZZERT (dessert). Tiny just chilled with some lettuce. Then we went by Sonic for some dinner...because even though I had a car full of food who feels like cooking after you have spent a hour and a half truckin' around the grocery store. It was also 7:30 and my kids get grumpy when they are hungry.

Little is dancing to GLEE in the background

HEHE Turkey Hat! Little keeps putting it on Tiny's head. Tiny doesn't mind and I think it is hilarious. Things like this make everything all worth while. ANYWAYS...I watched GLEE which was ok, The New Girl which I really am enjoying, and Raising Hope which I am liking more and more. I was a little disappointed in the GLEE song choices/number of songs but not every episode has to be a home run. I do have to say that How I Met Your Mother this week was really good. Lilly got her pregnancy boobs. Enough TV. It will rot your brain out.

 OOOOH! I forgot I promised you cake pictures. There are none. We didn't make a cake. BUT we did make some brownies out of a box! YAY!  AND I did take a few pictures...here.

Mommy I Brought Daddy a Poptart in The Shower

September is a special month in our house. Our anniversary is at the beginning of the month and BG's Birthday is near the end. Today BG turns 31 years old.

We have simple plans today. So far BG is taking a shower and Little has brought him "breakfast in shower". While I was on the phone with the Female Cruiser this morning she goes tearing into the kitchen. Our conversation was as follows:
 
BE: Watcha' doin' ?

Little: Its Daddy's birthday and he wants a Poptart.

BE: In the shower? It will get all wet.

Little : Ok I will put it on this chair. Don't eat it and it was stay fresh until he is out of the shower.

BE: Ok.

Little (picks up poptarts and runs out of room) I give them to daddy IN the shower!

10 minutes later I hear from the bathroom:

Little: DAD where are the Poptarts?

BG : I ate all but a little piece.

Little: Can i have the rest? (I dont let her have poptarts they are for BG ONLY)

BG: Sure. (Oy!)

SO now she is eating Poptart and running around the house saying she needs to find candles for the cake.

BG's B-day Present = The Water Bill

The big project of the day will be the cake. Both girls and I are going to bake his cake and make icing from scratch. Little loves to help cook but is feeling a little full of herself today. That plus the sugary Poptart are bound to make an intersting baking experience for us today. She has already asked 10 times in the last half hour WHEN will we be starting on this cake. Other then Poptarts we haven't even started breakfast yet. (Well, Tiny has been fed of course.) So here I go. Wish me luck. I will take pictures.

AND Happy Birthday to BG! I love you babe and I hope next year is better than the last! I am so happy that you were born.

Join Me in The War Against.....

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have something very important to speak to you about today. It is a trend we in this house have seen a lot of lately and I feel that sharing our story can help some of you unsuspecting parents out there. The often hidden issue is your child accidentally beating you. Now, I know there is some shame that comes along when a child accidentally hurts you but this is an issue that you should not stay quiet about any longer. I, too, have been accidentally beaten by my baby. It was a quiet night watching TV and suddenly BLAM! remote control to the eye. Today I visited my eye doctor because the twitching had not yet stopped. My friends...I am now a sufferer of Traumatic Iritis. My eye doctor laughed a little when she came in the room "trauma by remote " is apparently funny. This is something that will heal quickly after some drops and be nothing more then a bother for a few days but still I am speaking up!

Ole' Blue Eye

As you remember BG was injured at the hands of Little just a week ago and we as a family say "Speak up! Speak up against your children accidentally injuring you! Speak up against having to spend money to make sure your nose isn't broken! Speak up against $21.23 worth of anti-inflammatory eye drops! Speak up!"

Thank you. God Bless America and God Bless you.

P.S. Look what came for Tiny !!!!!!! BG Babylegs!!!!!!!!

Mondays Suck

Last Monday Little almost broke BG's nose. I currently think my eyeball is going to fall out. Tiny bashed it. Hard. With a remote control. Because the new show 2 Broke Girls was making her so happy...or  really really mad. 

My Tiny Face Basher

We suck at Mondays. Anything that could spill today did. I am serious. Ask my coworkers. Little had a goodnight tantrum (instead of a goodnight story and hug)  and BG leaves tomorrow and has no clothes packed at all. He is currently out getting cat food and something sweet for me to eat. God bless him. Tiny has a "cloudy" ear, is now on antibiotics, and keeps spitting up. She has also been really talkative today the Tiny word of the day is" BA". At one point, when I was cooking dinner at my local Japanese drive-thru place, the teenage boy at the window said " Have a nice night!" Then he looked at me and listened to Tiny screaming and Little having a diva-off with her sister in the back seat and said "Well ....try." His look of horror was so cute. He made me laugh. Little summed it up best today...after driving back and forth between TWO CVS' on the same road for a half a hour she exclaimed " Mom, My nerves are shot!" ...back at ya Little....back at ya.

So Much For My Folded Laundry.

Whelp at least tomorrow is Tuesday!

Take it from your Mumsy

There is a conspiracy going on in this household. The girls and BG against me. Here's the deal. Little said DADA first. So when Tiny came along and said MAMA first I was pleased as punch. But here's the thing.....Tiny knows who DADA is and when he comes home she squeals for him...When she wants to breastfeed she says MAMA. So therefore in Tiny's mind MAMA= BOOBS. Now I take breastfeeding as my most important and voluntary job. I love that no matter how many hours a week I work and no matter what else happens I am providing the best for my baby by breastfeeding her.....but can't a woman get a name around here...I suddenly feel like I am being used for my boobs. Oh well.

That's My Girl!

Speakin' of names. Little has been calling me Mumsy. She loves it. I think it's funnier then heck. I will totally rock Mumsy. Guess where she got Mumsy...yeah that's right... Tangled.

Yeah We have one of these too.

 FYI Little had an AWESOME game today. She got right out on the field no problem. Didn't hurt we offered more bribes then Jimmy Hoffa. First I offered Monkey Joe's (inflatable play place) if she played then the Female Cruiser threw in ice cream. What can i say people from Jersey know how the make things happen. I have been in the south long enough for the 55 degree weather this morning to feel freezing but we bundled up and Little was so cute running up and down the field. The Ninjas smeared the other 3 and 4 year olds....I know  you aren't supposed to keep score but after a while it was so obvious that the Ninjas kicked some...hind end. (We don't say butt in our house anymore and ass is so beyond not allowed.)

Good Game

Tiny Hiya!

Little Hiya!

After Ninja time ( Hiya!) We picked up Panthers Fan's canine friend from the vet and dropped him off at home. Then met Unc at a "deli" for lunch. By definition it is a deli but it's more like a fancy food boutique. Not anything like a REAL deli but the food is great. Then on to Monkey Joe's to pay up on our part of the bribe. The Female Cruiser still needs to pay up on the ice cream. After BG and Little had a blast jumping around like a bunch of three year olds we headed to get coffee and a "nack" (Little speak for snack) I had my first cup of coffee in almost 20 months. Tiny has not yet exploded but I am on standby with a camera in case it happens. (thanks for the tip Baltimore Uncle) It has been a great family day. We even Skyped on my cell phone with the Male Cruiser who is somewhere. Little wanted so badly to tell him about her game. I really hope to get to church tomorrow... truthfully it's really hard for me to get out of bed on Sunday morning and it won't happen without me. Maybe I need to invent something to get my family dressed without me.....hmmmmm.

BG plays

Little Ninja

Oh! I almost forgot. UPDATE on the "Tiny climbs the baby gate" situation....

PROBLEM SOLVED

Panther's game with Unc and Female Cruiser tomorrow. The Cruiser says she is going to make something good to eat and let's face it...I'm not there for the football.


So long, Farewell,
