Three all about me!!

Talon turned three on January 6, and so far I think the twos are easier. Yes it is fun to be able to understand what they want, but now they expect it "right now." O and if you don't give it to them the tears start to flow!

Talon has been able to speak clearly for a long time now. We went threw the "why" stage.(and still going) But now it seems to be "all about me." "we are going to a party for me??, we are buying that for me?, why don't I have one of those.

Also the tantrums, just get worse! He is and always has been a whiner, but now the whine turns into, tears and then a full blown cry, which makes the baby cry, which makes me want to cry!

But all that said, we will get threw it just like the "terrible twos." We will survive on the nights of him running threw the house naked singing "shake your booty," and the hugs we get with his face scrunched up to ours saying "suga bugga." Also on all the smart things he comes up with already to remind us we are doing a great job at this thing called "parenting!"

Laundry, Costco and more!

Ok so Monday I start off with a load of laundry and start to clean the house from the weekend. But I realize that I never finished the laundry from the week before, so now I have to fold those clothes. (which are probably two loads worth) Then I realize the boys have no clothes so I have to do there's too, and bed sheets need to be washed, and it just ends up being a lot of laundry, and now you see why I never get it finished. If its not the bathroom towels, or the blanket we put Aiden on so that he doesn't puke all over the rug, it is something else over flowing.

I always try to have a positive attitude about the chores of a household. Because they have to get done so I might as well try to enjoy myself while doing it. But laundry is one I can not get positive about. It is never ending!

On another note I love Costco, for most things! Trash bags that we got when my son was maybe two, were used for almost everything and today I think I am seeing the end of them. Also, toilet paper, for some reason from Costco last longer then the store bought kind.! Not to mention the fun things that are there for less price then somewhere else, like coffee creamer, eggs, frozen veggies, cheese, meat, and the soaps!! Just wanted to give Costco a shout out!

I know I ramble, but it is kind of how my brain is right now. :)

My boys!!

Ok this WILL be cheesy!

I love my boys!! All of them. We will go threw the list!

The Hawk is just so cute and smiley. He is army-man crawling and pulling at everything. At a very young age he was already cooing. (to follow the rest of the talking men in my life) He is just growing nicely!

Then we have big bird! He is amazing with how well he speaks! The kid can have grown up conversation! Also, he is very into games, and has found an old "Operation" game (the buzzer is broken) but has memorized all the names of the bones and things to pull out. My favorite is the "whoopin band" (rubber band) but he has the right idea. He knows that a hug cheers me up and scrunching his nose next to mine and saying "you cute smug a bug" makes me crack up. He is just getting so big and smart!

Then daddy bird, who has been surprising me left and right. First by taking off a whole week at Christmas. Then coming home early to hang with us, all the days he is able. Then letting me get out of the house alone, when I need it!!

Then the man in my life I have not mentioned that live with me (cause there are more great men in my life that don't live with me, but that's a whole other blog) but we can't leave out the bubba! He is our dog, to which I snuggle with every night as my heating blanket, and the one who greats me at the door every day. He is loved my all and turning gray.

So there you have it "My boys," hope you enjoy~!
