This morning...it is a rare event that they sit together to watch cartoons.


January ice storm. Next time I am stuck at home for THREE days with two active children due to weather, we better get snow!



Max got into the Bakers Chocolate!

One morning after Christmas, we missed Max. Where in the world could he be? Well, we searched in all the rooms. Nothing. He was quiet as a mouse and if you are a mama, you know what that means. I saw that the pantry was slightly cracked. What did I find? A little mouse had gotten into the Bakers Chocolate. That mouse had a name: Max. He squealed like a pig when I took that chocolate away.
********
Daddy went fishing today...so it was just me and my boys. I didn't do any cleaning! Ok, well I did wipe down all of the cabinets.
Some memorable baby and toddler moments from today:
Toward the end of the day, I told Thadeus we would go grocery shopping. He looked at me with excitement..."um, mama, mama, mama, can we, can we, can we get in the little cart," he says. I said, "what little cart?" Really though, I knew what he meant...he has seen the grocery carts with the little car in the front...he wanted to ride it. I said, "you mean the little car-cart?" He smiled so big. "YES." "Well," I said, "it depends on if there is one left. There are only two so if we can get one we will, but if we get there and someone else has them, then we cannot ride one." He thought hard for a minute, then said, "I wanna beat them mama!" ha! I said, "well, we will try our best to get to them first, okay."
We were able to get a car-cart. He drove that thing, or so he pretended. After we got all of our groceries, I put him in his booster seat, and he said, "mama, that was sooooooo cool!" Ha. I buckled Max in, then walked back over to Thadeus to buckle him in--he said, "well, you gonna get gas?" I told him, "Thadeus, we already got gas before we went into the grocery store." He said in a matter-of-fact expression with his hands swaying from side to side--"well, we can get some more." Um, no thanks. With gas 2.59 per gallon, I don't want some more please! HA!
Tonight for dinner we had nachos. Tostitos, cheese, beans, ground beef, baked at 350 for ten or so minutes. We had guacomole and homemade salsa. I made Max a soft shell taco. The first one went to the floor--it may have been an accident...however, I'm not all too sure. After that happened, I made him the soft shell taco--with all the fixin's minus the taco shell....He picked at it a while...then he picked up his plate and looked at me. I said, "Max, do you not like the taco." He looked at me, shook his head from side to side and said, "no." hahaha Alrighty then.
Happy New Year (2011)!
