Cheerios under construction!!

Note to self *do not leave 13 month old and 3 yr old alone with a box of Cheerios!*

So I went to the bathroom (its downstairs in the livingroom where the kids wre)...and for once the kids did not follow me in there! Hmm...they must be up to something...as soon as I am finished washing my hands I come out to find...
Natalie had decided the Cheerios on her highchair tray were not enough so she got the box off the table and dumped it all on the floor! Mind you the box was just opened this morning! Then Wyatt decided that the Cheerios made a great construction site and used his wheel loader and bull dozer to scoop them up...

Ah...they were having so much fun playing I decided to leave them out for a bit...but seeing as how I hadn't vacuumed yet they were mixed in with cat hair, my hair, carpet fuzz, and whatnot...so no use in salvaging them...they are now known as Construction Cheerios and will be vacuumed up at naptime!

I was excavated today!!

So here I am sitting at the computer when my 2 year old son, Wyatt, comes up to me and shows me a toy. "What's that?" I ask. "An excavator" he replies. So I begin to pull my hair back into a pony tail when I feel him put his toy in my arm pit. Now I am wearing a tank top and haven't shaved in a couple days, so when I look down to see what he is doing, I see he is making his excavator dig in my arm pit! "What are you doing?" I ask. "I'm excavating you!" he replies with so much zest! Then he laughs a hearty laugh and continues to excavate my arm pit hairs. All the while I am caught mid twist in tying up my hair and here he is excavating my arm pits (and tickling me in the process)! I guess I need to shave ... or wear long sleeves! lol I love my son's creative imagination!!

Nite nite nana

So Wyatt was laying on the ground last night playing and eating a banana when I hear him say "nite nite nana" and he was covering the banana with the peel like a blanket! Then he crashed out next to it!

New car!!

We got a new car! A 2009 Chevy Traverse ... its a crossover between an SUV and a minivan. It seats 8 people and has a ton of cupholders! lol Now I can be the cool soccer mom ...lol... and the designated driver for our MNOs!!

Artfire Cafemom Team

I found this site through ... Cafemom of course!! lol And there are a ton of beautiful items in this shop...one of which I am very interested in is the nursing cover!! Being the breastfeeding mom that I am it would be nice to have a nice cover to use in public instead of a blanket every time I needed to feed my baby! If you are interested you should def take a look and get one yourself as well! Also check out their blog for the nursing cover giveaway!!

My new addiction...

Cloth diapering! So finally on my 3rd child I have gotten the courage to try it. I have done much research on it but I am still a bit lost ... I have been a servant to the disposables for years now so I am looking for something easy, convenient, and most of all cost effective ... then lo and behold I come across this website:

http://www.teenygreenies.org/

What better way to find out what works for you than to use a lending service! Currently they are only helping the Twin Cities metro area but you can always ask about starting a branch in your city! I can't wait until they are all over the States as this is such a great service to everyone. Including the environment!!

Wyatt and the razor...

So Wyatt, whom is 2, got a play shaving kit for Christmas from his great-grandmother. "What a cool gift" I thought...Well as you can see from the pictures, this is what happens to little boys who watch their mommies shave more than they watch their daddies....maybe he will become a swimmer?! hehehe
