Well, it's really overcast today, so Sunshine starts talking (nonstop) about the clouds and how he wants a rainbow. Out of desperation for an answer to him I say that Momma can't make a rainbow outside, only God can make a rainbow so you'll have to talk to Him.

Sunshine then says (in that singsong voice kids get): "Go-od!! I want a rainbow outside please,......No-ow!!! (in his regular voice) I'm talking to God mama!!"

Momma, "Ok dear, you keep on God's listening." (and His patience is much longer than mine) :-)

So, sometime while I was working last weekend Subvet had this little drama with Gator-boy:

Dad: Get those fingers out of your mouth!

Dad: The other hand isn't ok either!!

Dad: Hey! Neither is your foot!


















Some things never change!

So, Sonshine was flipping through a book I'm currently reading. He came across this page.




And he very excitedly points to the picture and says

"Mom!! It's.......it's ...... it's.... IT'S GOD!!"

not quite dear.

Later he picks up a magazine, points to this picture and says


"Is it Daddy??"
nope. but there is some resemblance...sorta.


And here's a little something I keep on my dresser mirror. Just thought I'd share.

Have a good day folks.

We had a birthday party Saturday for me, Gator-boy and Sugars.

Sonshine kept saying it was HIS birthday!! When asked when his birthday was he'd tell you "November 25th" Then would sing Happpy Birthday to himself. He had to open every present with the birthday person and then played with them all!




He never did figure out that it wasn't his party after all!!

As we're driving to preschool past the snow I heard a lot about the snow from Sonshine.


"snow is cold mama"

"snow is for eating"
no, I think it's dirty by now.

"snow is for throwing"
you'll have to ask your teacher if she wants you to have a snowfight.

"I see the snow mama"
Yes, what color is that snow? Is the snow white?
"I see Snow White!!"
........(where'd the dwarves get to?)

Well, I haven't posted about sister yet so I guess I'll do that for this week.

Here's the secret to sister's happiness.

a book or piece of paper.

Yup, she's just like her mama and daddy.

I wanted to get a pic but she moves to darn fast, there she was with a book in her little hands, laying on her back "talking" away to it!! it was sooo funny!!

She's getting her 3rd tooth and has started "commando" crawling (elbows and belly). Today she commando crawled right up to Gator and tried to take the book out of his hands....to which he told her "NO No NO!"

Alas, Mightymom's Memory Misplaces Munchkin Moments..............

Sonshine said something that cracked me up....now I'm having a hard time remembering what it was we were talking about.



Well, this isn't an exact quote but it's in the neighborhood.

Mom, "Did you have a good supper?"

Sonshine, "YEEES"

Mom, "Was it yummy?"

Sonshine, "YEES, I am eating yummy stuff, like Daddy!"

(Daddy is very important around here....we put on our own clothes like Daddy, we wear big boy underwear like Daddy, we poop in the potty like Daddy, and apparently we eat like Daddy too!)

I've thought long and hard about this for this week, and I have no idea how best to explain this situation.

See, Gator-boy talks to us a lot. But not in any language we can understand. He will walk up to you and in all seriousness look you straight in the eye and talk. Then will say "OK?" and walk off. We've decided to sign him up for ESL classes, but they don't give them in Gatorese. It comes to mind tonight because 2 different times today people who aren't usually around him actually thought he was telling them something and expected me to translate. Sorry, I don't speak Gatorese. Do you??



This kid marches to the beat of a different drummer....anyone recognize his drumstick/baton and hat/drum???



And, just to be fair I'll put in a video of Sugars "talking" to the phone....

Gator-boy, "cup please, cup please"

Mom, "here you go."

Gator takes cup, takes a drink then turns cup (with straw) upside down to watch the water run out the straw onto the floor.

Mom, "NO!! NO!!"

Gator hands Mom cup, says "all done" and walks away.

YIKES! This kid's gonna give me grey hair!!

Daddy, "Your dresser drawers are a NO TOUCH! Do you understand me??!!"

Sonshine, "Yes Ma'am."




Mom, snicker, snicker, snicker.

Well folks, the sad truth is that I really haven't seen much of my munchkins this week to know what they are saying. But I will tell you about this moment of amazement.

Gator's in Early Childhood Intervention (aka therapy) for his speech (etc) delay. His therapist came yesterday armed with a couple of new "games" for him to learn. One was a sheet with 6 different colored bears and 6 matching bear pieces for him to learn to match colors. The other had 4 shapes to match. She also brought an observer.

She was giving a rundown to the observer on their way to my house about how he couldn't match and hasn't been interested in playing any of the matching type games we'd tried.

So, she gets out her bear sheet and hands the bear pieces to Gator. He IMMEDIATELY sits down and puts all the pieces in the right places! Repeating the names of the colors as we say them. He did the same for the shapes. I got out another matching game we had and he sat and did it too!! Again repeating the words after us.

Welcome to my world. Just when I think my kid "can't" do something he sits and does it perfectly while I sit speechless and marvel and God's perfect plan for our lives.

I ran away.

Well, Gator got sick. YUK,

Then


Sonshine got sick. YUK YUK GROSS.

So............

I went to work!! yeehaw. :-)


Now Subvet's sick. Poor guy, kids puking and pooping everywhere on his first day as SuperDad. And now he's sick right along with them. I'm hoping he doesn't decide to retire from retirement.


I'm loving the questions so keep em all coming and I will answer them next week when I actually have a day off or two.


For Tiny Talk Tuesday I will tell of a little experience we had sometime last week.

Dad and I are talking in the living room one dark and dreary evening (we've had a few of those lately)

Gator turns the lights off.

Dad: "Turn those lights back on!!"

Gator turns the lights on.

Dad: "Thank you."

Gator turns the lights off.

Gator turns the lights on.

Gator says: "Thank you."

Dad and I just looked at each other. I mean really, what do ya do??

Sonshine is learning to write his name. He's known how to spell it for awhile....he's also known all his letters and their sounds for awhile....so I'm not sure why this suddenly came up.

It's a O Mama, O looks like a donut! We have donuts for supper? YEEES Mama, you need to cook donuts for supper!!!!


And you know it's got to be good when your (blogger) husband calls you on the phone and says you need to read a particular post....then when you say you're not going to get on the comp tonight as you have other things going on he proceeds to read you the post.....well, it was good enough to steal!

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old
son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was
very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled
something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she
was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while,
so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No".

I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have
any clothes with me."

Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he
replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell
was getting worse Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny , did you have an
accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and
spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!" While 30 people
nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his
pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the
best laugh they'd ever had!

thanks Cookie

Question: When is a WalMart NOT a WalMart?

Answer. When it is located on the ritzy side of town, the writing is in green, not blue and it says "Neighborhood Market".

Well, my new job officially starts on Monday and I needed a couple more items to complete my trousseau. So I decided to stop by WalMart and pick em up. I was on the "other" side of "town" (actually in a neighboring suburb) and swung by their WalMart to get my last few items. I needed 1) a new purse as the one I've had was falling apart and about 20 years old. I'd quit carrying it and just stuck my wallet et al in the diaper bag. 2) a new watch as the one I had stopped and I never bothered to replace it.... and 3) a lock to put on my locker at work. Now, you'd think these 3 things should be easily found at WalMart right??????

NOPE. Not at our supersnotty supercilious WalMart Neighborhood Market.

Unless you're looking for things that can be found at a GROCERY STORE, don't bother. I hightailed it back to the land of the blue smocks and found everything I needed thank you very much!

In other news. I thought I'd let you watch a little show down that's taking place in our home.

Subvet and I each have 50 pounds we'd like to lose. SO, we've decided to have a contest. Yesterday was the kickoff. We will weigh in every Monday morning and I'll let you know who's ahead. Maybe I can come up with some cutesie widget thing for the sidebar....I dunno.


Speaking of sidebars, there's too much junk in my sidebar. But I can't decide what to get rid of. So, you tell me. What do you actually look at in my sidebar? anything? everything? Give me some feedback here folks.
