From the Eyes of a 4 year old

For an activity in pre-school, Lindsay had to cut out pictures in magazines that looked like their family. She had a little girl for Sammie, a toddler for Davis (she picked one with dark hair), a fun picture of mommy and this is the picture she picked for daddy.....

I've Been Tagged

My friend HeatherAnn tagged me about a month ago and I am just getting around to it. Sorry HeatherAnn. I am supposed to list all of my quirks. I guess it took me so long to post because I couldn't think of any until I talked to my husband of course. So here it goes:

1. I have to make the bed. Nobody else can do it. If Dave wants to do a kind act of service and make it for me, I just make it over again. I guess I am pretty picky. The crazy thing is, is that I don't have to make it everyday. But when I do make it, it has to be perfect. I also have to have the bed pretty much made before I sleep in it. Dave does not understand this and just laughs.

2. My girls' hair has to be done before we go anywhere. And it drives me crazy when they dress themselves and they don't match. On the other hand, I hardly ever comb Davis' hair.

3. I will pin my kids down and brush their teeth while they are kicking and screaming. I guess all the years of being an orthodontist assistant has done something to me.

4. I always have to be on time. In fact, I have to make a conscious effort to be late. I don't handle lateness very well. (I hope I didn't offend anyone).

5. In order for me to relax at night, my kitchen and great room need to be clean. Dave doesn't understand why it can't wait until the morning but he has learned that if he wants a relaxing evening with me, he HELPS.

6. I am big on routine. I try my hardest to follow a routine and if something messes it up, I go crazy. Week days run a lot smoother than weekends because with Dad around some things go out of turn. (I love you Dave!!!!).

I think I got them all. I hope they aren't too weird and that a lot of you out there are in the same boat as me. It would make me feel a lot better if I wasn't the only one. I guess this is where I am supposed to tag others so I tag: Denette, Anna, Kelly, Jen, Chelsea, Jamie and Claire

Davis Update

Davis LOVES to stick the corner of his blanket in his ear. This is what he does when he is tired. It is the cutest thing.

Whenever I send the kids out to get into the car, this is what happens. He thinks it is pretty funny.

Here is Davis working out in the yard and working on his tan. I think he takes after his dad.(Don't look at our dead garden. We are just beginners).

I was on the computer one afternoon and Davis came into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of cheerios from the lazy-susan. I didn't think much of it because the bag was not open. As you can see from the picture he figured out how to open them. I couldn't be mad because I should have been paying more attention and not on the computer "blog stalking".

This is Davis' favorite thing to do. Luckily Lindsay is okay with driving him around the yard. Sammie on the other hand doesn't like to do it. When Lindsay is at school, Davis just follows Sammie around whining and pointing at the little tractor. We better watch out when he gets big enough to drive it himself.

It is so fun to have a little boy. He keeps me on my toes all of the time. He definitely is more active than my girls, but I love it. The poor boy does walk around talking on a cell phone carrying a purse. Maybe he needs a little brother (or boy cousins) around.

Update on Lindsay and Sammie

We decided to put the girls in dance this year. If they have their mothers skills, then they are going to be GREAT dancers. (For those of you that know me, you know that they don't have a chance with my skills, and for those that don't know me, well just keep on thinking that I can dance). They LOVE going to dance. They are so cute out there in their tap shoes trying not to fall down. I can't wait for the 1st performance. Lindsay has already told us that she is not going on the stage. We will have to see what happens. The girls also started school. Lindsay is in Pre-K this year and Sammie started the 3 year old program. They both love it. Mrs. Sigmund (Sammie's teacher this year and Lindsay's last year), already can tell that they are nothing alike. She has already experienced Sammie's stubborness. Lindsay takes a lunch to school this year and she feels like she is such a big girl. They are growing up so fast. I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten next year!!!

No, I am not Pregnant

Apparently there are some people out there that thought I was announcing something (me being with child) with my last post "Hawaii Baby". I guess I can see how some would think that. I thought I would clear things up before any rumors may start. We are not expecting!!!

Have a nice day! :)
