My daughter has the overwhelming urge to eat my food.  Specifically, my oatmeal.   It seems as though every time I make oatmeal,no matter how many servings I make....she is begging for more and ends up eating my breakfast.  I swear, it happens all the time.  I've even made 4 servings so there would be lots extra....but to no avail.  She still will eat until it is all gone. Eating mine before they wake up is a guarenteed way to ensure that both kids hate the sigh...

So I haven't posted a good kid article in a while and I realized that if I don't write it down...I forget the cool stuff. So here's some for each of them. Girl has been sick. Very sick. The amount of snot coming out of that kid is astonishing. I understand why she felt so bad. My sinuses are in revolt and I dont' even have a fever! So the sinus drainage was making her sick to her stomach and cough non-stop. She sat on the couch with a box of tissues and every few minutes, she would b...

Connor got up from his half eaten dinner. He studiously avoided my gaze and mumbled, "I'm not hungry." as he tried to sneak down the hall. "Wait right there. Did you eat ALL your food?" He continued burning a hole in the floor with his gaze. "I don't want to eat my vegetables. I'm not hungry anymore." Since I had not put out the main course, I knew he was lying through his tightly clenched teeth. He will usually eat broccoli, but salad seems to be less popular and he resists every ef...

I'm on the computer playing my newest addiction, Chuzzle Link I HIGHLY encourage eveyone to play and become addicted. Anyway, my son comes running in the room. *giggle giggle* I finally turn around to discover the reason for said hillarity. He is naked....again. "What are you doing?!" "I'm naked!" *giggle giggle* *Roll Eyes* "Yes. I know you are naked. Why are you naked?" (Usually he takes off ALL his clothes, to include his shirt when he goes to the bathroom.) H...

Have you ever started to laugh because you just "got" the joke you heard....last week? I just "got it". My son loves chocolote cake. He usually calls it black cake. He does know how to say chocolote, but he never uses it in conjuction with cake. I've wondered about this and just caught on yesterday. I made brownies and asked him if he wanted some. His response? "No mom. Those are black....hmmm...Black-ies? Black cake." *long pause* "Ummmm.....brown-ies? Yeah, I like ...

Sometimes you suddenly realize just how much your children have grown. Sometimes it is the big events like starting school or graduating that stand out; other times it's the little details. HW's unit rented out a waterpark for the welcome home celebration yesterday. My son, who just turned 3 a few weeks ago was excited but a little aprehensive at the sight of the waterslides. He thought everything was amazing and cool, but he wasn't sure about actually going down the slide....until we w...
