Night Night

Its 8 mins till midnight, so all I have to say is................Whoo Hooo, I am finally done with my homework! (For today!) I stupidly waited till tonight to start it, and it turned out to be a weeeee bit more complicated than I thought it would be. On a good note, it was quiet all evening when I did it. Elijah and Peyton didnt put up a fight at bedtime, David fell asleep on the couch. And Olivia was up till 11:00 doing homework as well. (I have never seen this child do so much homework, since shes been living with us).
Good night peoples, I will type at you later!!

Awwww

I have been thinking about this since it happened, and I could help but to share it. I was at Elijahs school this afternoon, and was on the playground with the kids. I was talking to a bunch of them about their favorite shows, their birthdays, pets, etc,. Fun times I tell ya, fun times. That was the best time I had all week!! So one of the girls that I was talking to is Elijah's best friend, we will call her L.
L and Eli have been stuck together like super glue for almost 2 years now. L was over with me and the other kids talking, and Elijah was off playing with some other classmates. So one of the questions I asked them was "When is your birthday?" and they told me, to which my crazy butt said to all of them in the most suprised voice I could find "Oh, thats my birthday too!" Of course they were all excited, and didnt catch on. So I asked L about her birtday, and she told me, and I told her mine was then too. She put her hands on her hips, looked at me and said "Wow, we can have a party together, you bring the beer, I will bring the juice!" So sassy!
We got around to talking about pets, this one lil boy told me he had a fish, one girl had a dog, on lil one didnt have a pet but had a lil baby. L, said that she has a fish that her grandma bought her, and she named it Elijah! How freaking cute is that?

Funny Kids

Wow, kids are the best comedians in the whole world. I see why they had that show "Kids Say the Darnedest Things!"

Mom: Hey Pate, how are you?
Pate: I not Pate, I HULK!!
Mom: Ok, HULK, how are you?
Pate: HULK good
Mom: What does HULK want for breakfast?
Pate: HULK eat green food
Mom: So do you want green food?
Pate: No Mommy Hulk, want hotdog

So it was a hotdog for breakfast. Not something I would eat, but hes been on a darn hotdog kick these last couple of days.


Another one, but from Elijah

Elijah: Mommmmmmy, come here.
Mom: Hang on a second, I will be there in a minute.
Elijah: Mommmmmmmmy, I have a surprise for you.
Mommy: Ok, where are you. (Hes always in one of a few places)
So I walk to the sound of Elijahs giggling.
Elijah: Mommy, I have a suprrrrise for you, dont get mad.
Mommy: Ok, I am covering my eyes.
I walk in there to see Elijahs hair is PURPLE!! Not just one part of his head is unpurple.
Elijah: Mommy, look I am a rockstar!
I proceeded to laugh, and start to scope out the room, to see what else is purple. Nothing that I can see is purple, other than his head and his hands.
Elijah: Mommy, do you like it?
Mommy: Wow Eli, where did you get that?
He then told me how he found it in his sisters room, and saw her put it on earlier that morning, and he thought she looked cool. A kid is going to impulate stuff, and thats what he chose to emulate. I also found out that he got the rockstar part from Guitar Hero, that we recently purchased!!

And the best part of the whole comedy routine was as I was putting some clothes in their dresser, and walked into a conversation about scary things.

Elijah: Peyton, a ghost is scary as a Zombie.
Peyton: No, Zombie SCARYYYYYYYYYYY
Elijah: Know whats scarier than a Zombie?
Peyton: HUH B-B (He calls Elijah BB sometimes)
Elijah: Two zombies!
Peyton: Noooooo!!! (And proceeds to run onto his bed, and hide under the covers)
And Eli then said something about the ghost and zombie were mean and going to get him.
To which Peyton figured out how to quiet Eli down for good by saying this simple lil set of words "BB, Misses Gulch going to get you!" And Elijah went straight into his bed and hid under the covers.
Anyone who has watched enough Wizard of Oz, as myself and my boys have, would know who Misses Gulch is! To the boys, Gulch is even meaner than the WITCH!!

And the last thing... (Which just happened a few minutes ago, almost made me choke, it was so funny!)
I decided we were going to do a lil Mexican themed dinner, and was cooking Quesadillas and Taquitos (lil rolled up tortillas with meat), and Elijah was helping me prepare it.
I put the Taquitos in the oven, and Peyton saw it and said "What dat?" Elijah said that they were "two key toes". Ok, I thought it was funny!

Project Mommy

I have had a total blast today, hanging out with Peyton. The weather here has gone from sunny 80 degrees on Friday, Tornado's on Saturday, Snow on Sunday, to a breezy 67 degrees today! Its taken its toll on my sinuses and I REALLY wanted to stay in the bed and hibernate the rest of the winter away. But alas, I am mommy to a two year old, who snuggles in the bed for a good 2-3 mins at the most. So after lagging around for an hour or two, I decided there was NO WAY I was going to get a chance to get back in the bed, so I grabbed a couple cups of coffee, and totally woke up. So Peyton and I read for a couple of hours. I am proud to tell yall that Peyton knows all of his colors, all of the ABC' (Can recognize, say the letter and its sound) has had a HUUUGE vocabulary boom over the last couple of months. His memory is amazing, don't know where he got it from. Yeah, I do....He stole it from me when I was preg with him, I haven't been able to remember anything since I conceived him!! Back to the reason I am typing.....lalalala......so we read. After reading, we started to draw & then he wanted me to trace his hand. My brilliant butt, came up with an idea, which is going in his baby book. I traced one of my hands, one of David's (dh) hands, and inside of them I traced Peytons hand! Its so cute to see the size differnce. After a lil more drawing, he sat down, and ate his lil lunch, and I decided to clean off the entertainment center. Well, I had long gotten tired of the decore on it, so I removed it all. Peyton saw me dusting, and decided to join it. Thats when I got the brilliant idea to bring dirt inside. Peyton and I grabbed some flip flops and sweatpants (cause you can do that in the south, LOL) and head outside for our craft project of the day. We had a dying tree in the front yard, which the wind of the storm on Saturday had broken, and there was a huge peice laying on the ground. Peyton and I pulled twigs off of it, and from the ground. Then we dug up stones, and put them to the side. Now, getting a two year old to just hand over rocks, with no leaves, no dirt, no bugs or no grass, was a bit of a challenge, so we used a strainer outta the kitchen. We came inside the house, and dumped the rocks into a beta fish bowl (RIP Cookie-Fish) and realized it looked so empty. Low and Behold, mommy had sand that she got from the beach 5 years ago, sitting on her desk. So we dumped the sand in there, added the rocks, added twigs, went back outside, found some shrubbery to fill up the bowl, and added some fake flowers! Peyton want to pose with it, so I put him on top of the entertainment center. After the photo session was over, we listened to some music while I put some pictures into frame, and Peyton "dusted". I guess Peyton got a wee bit tired, so he fell asleep on the floor.

Peyton posing with the thing we did today!



End result.



Please ignore the rest of the entertainment center, the top is all you need to look at, LOL!




And then theres Elijah. He got home, right as Peyton fell asleep on the floor. He helped me pick out the last pic (the black and white one, on the right, of him as a baby with his Grampa!)




And last but not least, here is the end result of Peytons hard work!

Holiday Season......

Thanksgiving and Black Friday are OVER! If those two days are going to be how this whole holiday season is going to go, I opt to stay home in the bed! Although parts of it was rather fun, or maybe the lack of sleep made it more fun in appearance! I got most of my Christmas shopping done! I do have to say that didnt get the two major things that intended to get, Power Ranger Jungle Fury Megazord for the Elijah monster. And Hulk Smash gloves for the Pate. I have been looking for about 3 weeks for em, and they are always sold out. Looks like I will have to order online. Now, I am going to do everything I can to get these for the boys, since thats all they are asking for. No other thing is on their list, thats it. So as to not break their lil spirits, I am on a mission. I got already a whole bunch of stuff.... board games, Handy Manny tools, tent/camping stuff, LeapFrog stuff. Nothing too big, I have already gotten rid of SOOOOO many toys and don't want a lot of clutter. It looks like time to get on with FreeCycle and get someone to pick these toys up.

Noting the boyds

I really feel like the rug is being pulled from underneath me all the time. I cant keep up with life, and my mind is always moving in a speeding direction. Unfortunately my body is moving in the slow lane. I am going crazy at work, cant focus. So when I do get a min, I will play catch up, and post about things, like Halloween, my new nephew Coy, and other Boyd happenings!

P for Pate

Ok, so we were supposed to set our clocks back last night, and for the most part, we did. Except for the one most important clock in the house....Elijahs internal clock! The boy woke up at what was supposed to be 6:30, but is now 5:30. My husband is up too, playing on his xbox360, so that should count for something huh!? Nope, "mommy, I want a cup of milk" "mommy Pate is stinky", "mommy I want breakfast" so guess who gets up to do it, MOMMY!
So an hour into being awake Peyton decides he wants a cup of milk too. So I drag my happy ass into the kitchen and pour a cup of milk. Peyton says "P for Pate" and points to the magnetic letters on the fridge. Elijah being the lil smart ass that he is says "Mommy, I can spell Pate." He grabs the P, puts it in a central location, then starts looking for something, telling me he doesn't need help. I told him I would be right back, I returned to 2 very happy lil boys, and see this .........P8. Get it P eight? He spelled Pate! LOL
