Get that girl some ice cream quick

Okay so I am a dental hygienist, so naturally my sworn enemy is sugar, right? Well its basically true, especially when it comes to my kids, I want them to have perfectly perfect teeth, what on earth is so terribly wrong with this? Nothing right? Right. So how come when Randy offers Krista a Dairy Queen ice cream cone if she gets 100% on her spelling does she suddenly turn into the spelling bee girl. I mean I saw a 45% turn around on her spelling test grade. In one week! Am I withholding the sugar that much? I mean really. And as happy as I am that we found her motivation should sugar really be it? I just have to just wonder at it all. and please pass Krista the ice cream. Quick!

Help I'm stranded

Okay so I don't really need help exactly, but ouch, I hate not having a car. I am definitely a get out of the house and into the world girl. My favorite day is errand day. I might just be crazy. My car just blew it's alternator and it's getting fixed this weekend but I feel like my alternator blew, not my car's. At least I have great friends and husband to take me around, like to work, you know so I can pay for the alternator that my car just can't seem to live without. Maybe its like that new jacket I just have to have. . .

He's a hard working little boy

I love the way Nathan gets out the mop every time I sweep. Then I have mixed feelings when he heads straight for the pile I've just swept. But one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen was when I let him help me mop the floor. I put his chubby little hands on the handle and covered them with mine. He looked at me with a thank you on his face. Our strokes together were so so painfully small, but we laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. My sides are still feelin' it. I have the best job ever!

Jealousy hey hey Jealousy

So the biggest fit I think I ever saw my Nathan have was when I came to get him up from a nap with Maddie in my arms. What a cross look on his face. What a strange howl came out of this sweet boy's mouth. It's a good thing Tawnya knows her stuff and can juggle two babies at the same time. Tawnya came for a visit to my house this week, the brave girl does in deed juggle her babies. I don't really know how else to explain the manuvering I saw. I am at once in awe and a little jealous. Have a fabulous week. Look for new pictures soon!

Its been awhile

It's been awhile since I've caught up with you. I think the best way to end a quiet streak is to talk. So Hello. Again. Funny story, Nathan can say I love you. He has been saying it for a while now. It just took me quite a long time to figure it out though. But if you have ever heard one of those talking dogs say it you can get a general idea of just how it sounds. He doesn't use a w sound, he uses a lot of the L sound through it. Randy and I have even been using his version. Have I mentioned that I love being a mom to my three gorgeous children? See you much sooner. Tiff
