I wish I was actually cleaning poop!

I thought I would never say this.....EVER, but I think I would actually rather be cleaning up poop than NAIL POLISH! Yep, you heard me nail polish. Tonight while our Home Teacher was at our home, Mag Pie decided to throw Anna's nail polish to her from the upstairs playroom. You might be asking some questions, like," how did she get?", or "Why don't you have it locked up so little children won't make messes with it?", Well, my answer back is, we think she climbed up and got it from the top shelf somehow, OR a sister got, who won't admit....arrrgh. Anyway, it was all in slow mo for me. I instantly saw her with it and said to Megan please get it from her in which there was no response, then Mag Pie was saying to Anna, (whose nail polish it is), here Nana, then she threw it thinking someone was going to catch it, instead shattered in the front entry way in every direction. our Home teacher was so nice and tried to help for a half an hour, but with little success. We said thanks for his help and told him his wife probably has their dinner ready for them and that he should get home. I am sure he was relieved. Jonathan said after he left that we should've taken a picture for the blog, which I am sure I could go down there and still get a good picture of the damage, but am too pooped out from being on my knees for the past two hours:-( We still don't have it all cleaned up. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get nail polish out of Fake wood floors, please send them my way! Hope everyone else's Sunday's were relaxing, cause I think we worked enough for all of you:-) J/k Tomorrows a new day right!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I don't know about the rest of you, but October has flown by! I think it has flown by because we have been SO Stinkn' busy! Between school obligations, church obligations and just plain life, I am pooped out! I have SO much to post about don't even know where to start, so let me think about this......ok we will start with the Trunk or treat party that we helped plan!Amanda and a friend of hers! She was a cat!Mag pie with her cuteness as an elephant:)
We seriously put this "princess Leah" outfit together in 20 minutes! She wanted to be her SO bad! I think she makes a really cute princess!Anna has been really into greek mythology, I don't know why, but she is. Anyway, she wanted to be Aphrodite, the goddess of love. nice, huh! She didn't understand why no one knew who she was:-) I was to nice to tell her that I wouldn't have known what she was, if she wouldn't have told me:-)

Our good friend and her daughter, who came to have some fun with us!

WE HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD ON OUR HANDS

This past month has been a real eye opener to have a "normal" two year old. I don't say this to gloat that I haven't had this, but I haven't. None of my other children had ever gotten into stuff the way that Maggie does! I felt like I was on the edge this past month. The pictures will say it for me!



This is the beginning of the lotionI am sure you are wondering why I haven't taken it away by now, but honestly I think this probably was the third mess of the day, on this particular day and I was thinking, "REALLY, another mess!". So I observed and thought I was going to post about it that day, but it is now 3 weeks later and oh well! Here are some more or her "deeds".


She had done this on her birthday right before daddy got home. She had poured a lot of it in the basket of dirty clothes. Do you think she was trying to tell me something??
She is trying to redeem herself with her cuteness, she was really trying so hard to clean it up, it was cute!A couple other of her "deeds" are one, if there is a stool handy, she will put it up to the fridge and let as much water and ice out. I now make sure all of the stools or any other climbing vehicles are out of sight! Second, is she has played in the toilet, another new thing for me. You would think that after the third time, she would get that it is gross and wrong, but nope, not her! Luckily she has not done that one since the beginning of October, phew! Well I really shouldn't complain, cause like I said above, this is the first of four that has been a handful this way! I'll cross my fingers that it is the only.


Nothing like making some yummy cinnamon rolls, to make a two year olds "deeds" be forgotten!So I was craving cinnamon rolls so bad for about two weeks. Maybe it was because deep down I wanted it to be baking season and COLD, so I attempted to make myself feel this way by making these treats! Unfortunately my taste buds have been messed with, with this pregnancy! This has been my biggest pet peive so far. I have never had this before! Oh well, everyone enjoyed them, except me:-( (boo, hoo, poor me) Amanda helping!Rolling,fresh out of the oven,
and wah, lah!!!


MAGGIE'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!!!!


She had cheesecake for her first birthday celebration, on her birthday!She loved it! You can see below when we were singing "Happy Birthday", that she was so excited. I loved how she was so into it!




Here we are celebrating a second time on Sunday with my dad and his wife. You can't celebrate too much, especially when they are little!

You'll see in the next video that she knew what to do! She was just as excited as she was the first time! So stinking cute:-)



We had a lot of fun this month and hopefully the next couple of months will fly by just as fast! Life is crazy, but you gotta love the chance to be alive and to be able to try over and over again!
