What a poo poo day...

Yesterday between Jakob, Kadence and I, our crank scale was pretty high. Today was Ricks turn. The odd thing about that is Rick never and I mean NEVER gets cranky. Granted he has a temper and every once in awhile blows up, but that is started by yelling like a gorilla and then walking out the door and shutting it so hard the house shakes. So he saves us from the real blow up...which is a good thing. Sometimes you just need to loose it away from people. I usually just walk out the garage door and scream as loud as I can. (Good thing us insane people live out n' the countree)

So when I get home from school Rick is just crank crank crank. I kick him out of the kitchen and send him to his room without lunch. Then the poo starts. Kadence first, which is natural, she is still in diapers. Lately she has been a poo factory, one after another after another and it is not pretty. (Not like mine, it is like roses you know.) Can't wait till this summer and potty training. Last one out of diapers, that deserves a party.

Then it is Jakobs turn. Right before we get ready to go outside I hear him whining in the bathroom. As the proper parent I go and look to see what I can help him with. UGH!! the wall, the floor, the toilet seat, his hands, his legs oh man...then he steps in it. Yes, I am talking about poo.

With as much strength as I can muster I pick him up and carefully take him upstairs. it isn't easy to do the man-hold (outstretched arms keeping child as far away from you as possible) with a 25 pound toddler. Into the tub for a good scrubbing. At the same time keeping Kadence from climbing in to the dirty water. This is a job where you don't fill the tub, just let the water run and produce a lot of suds.

Kid all clean, now time to tackle the bathroom. I have a special cleaner for that mess, it's called bleach and water. Children up with their cranky dad, whom seems to be not so cranky, while I scrub, scrub, and scrub til the bathroom is a gleam of clean. UGH...

Finally we get outside.

The perfect ending to a poo filled day? My Krischan doing a Martha. "Rice cups" he calls them. He dug out a hollow in his hot dog (yes, I wimped out and made hot dogs for dinner for the kids, big whoop. Sometimes I just make pancakes and call it a day) and placed some of his rice in it. Makes a mom so proud. Watch out Martha...


And the pooper became pooped...


Yes, he fell asleep at the table. AWWWW...

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.

Birthday cake

When I was little the big thing I always looked forward too on my birthday was the cake. Ok, presents were always good also, but the cake lasted and was always homemade and delish. It was also always a given that the person the birthday cake was for got the first, and last piece. If it wasn't a rule, then I at least followed it. My birthday was this past Saturday and my husband came through with a Mrs. Goodman's cake. (I am still waiting for the year that he braves it and makes a cake from scratch with the kids for me.) Luckily he got a small one, because I ate a slice after my kids sang to me, then I ate a piece after they went to bed. The next day I ate three slices, yes three. I can't stay away from cake it just pulls me in. Besides, birthday cake tastes better than any cake, any day of the year. Monday was Kadence's birthday. There was once slice of my cake left so I saved it for the next day and ate the cupcakes I got for Kadence's family celebration. You...
