Please. STOP with the, “I DO WIT!”

Posted on April 9, 2009 by Heather

“Mommy, I gotta go potty!” dance, dance, hop, jump. I open the bathroom door. “NO, I DO WIT!”

“Mommy, my underwears are all a twist” (trying to get dressed) Let me fix it? “NO, I DO WIT!”

“Mommy, I want a purple cup today.” Let me get it out of the dishwasher. “NO, I DO WIT!”

“Mommy, I need my buckles” (carseat) Let me click that. “NO, I DO WIT!”

“Mommy, I need a spoon!” I open the drawer, she slams it closed. “NOOOOO! I DO WIT!”

If I open the door, she shuts it and reopens it. If I put on her shoes, she rips them off, throws

them down and insists on doing it herself. Today? She put HERSELF in time out.

If only she would stop this, and my older kids would start! “Dishes? NO! I DO WIT!”

The Car Wash Crisis

Posted on April 8, 2009 by Heather

I decided to get a car wash this afternoon, because the gas station tricks you into thinking you’re getting a great “deal” purchasing the deluxe car wash and dropping the gas price X amount of cents. First, we’re stuck sitting behind 2 cars. Two cars, at 5 minutes per wash = angry rear facing baby. We take our turn. Brinn watched curiously as the lights flashed and the WOOSHing sound kicked into high gear. Then we get sprayed. Tiny chuckle.
Her window got sprayed, frantic screaming.
Shaye watched as the rear windows of the van were being attacked by evil water droplets and rainbow colored soap foam, so she launched into a terrified wail. The 2 of them are screaming their heads off, and Maeve starts screaming at them to stop screaming. Genius. And we haven’t even dealt with the car wash dryer yet. The air starts blowing and howling, the kids have pretty much started to hyperventilate, so I sped out.
Screw it. It’s only a minivan. No one is looking at my van, and they’re certainly not looking at the DRIVER of the van. I put myself through hell for what? Because ultimately:

Sophisticated, yet Sexy. REALLY?

Posted on April 8, 2009 by Heather

Dumb, pathetical, and brilliant idea of the day.

EZCOMBS. Or is it a hair zing, topsy tail, butterfly hair comb, a twistii? Either way this is the worst product I’ve seen on television in a long, long time.

My Little Dharma Initiative Member eats Wax.

Posted on April 7, 2009 by Heather

I was taking pics of the ham because any day she’s going to let go of that table!

She’s obsessed with my PB wax eggs…
.
I tend to be one of those people that buys cute candles and feels guilty about lighting them.
Well, not this year. Happy Easter…
There are bite marks and chunks now missing out of every one of them.

And since the weather sucks yet again (is this the Carolinas, or Canada???) we’re lounging around today. Shaye still looks cute of course, I told you about this onesie…

from my LOST fan friend, Darlene.
This is one of my all time favorite clips, made by my talented friend Shannon..
By the way, if you check out Shannon’s page, you’ll see a few pics of the girls.

Brinn’s still on the poptart kick BUT

Posted on April 7, 2009 by Heather

yesterday someone stole her breakfast. I kid not, I went into the kitchen to empty the dishwasher. Shaye was crawling around, and Brinn was sitting at the coffee table on her little chair eating her nutritional breakfast of organic milk and poptarts. Shaye caught wind of something on the table and helped herself.
“haha see me mom?!”

Cartoons and poptarts. Life’s good.

“Um, wait, uh, mom *sniffle* that was MY poptart…” *pout*
