Crazy Randomness

I have these photos that I mean to do post on and never find enough time. So here are some of them.

The Village People?Girling up the boots for her.Butterbean has a "twinner" dress like Grandma and has begged for pictures of them together in them. So we finally did it.Here they are making the same silly face. Butterbean does this one a lot....drives me bonkers. he heIn her Thanksgiving get-up from school. She did not believe me when I told her she was related to Pocahontas. She kept saying, "Uh un....really?" Over and over. Silly thing. Then she thought she was cool when she finally believed me.Playing dress up. What a riot. She looked all Ninja-y or Charlies Angel-y to me.My daughter is the biggest slob at eating for some reason. She rarely uses a utensil unless I tell her to. And it is always all over the floor. I had to snap this when she was eating spaghetti. I asked her to use a fork and this is what happened.Poor Appleseed being tortured by Mommy yet again. He looks so cute with that thing on.Lately Butterball has been throwing fits. If I tell him to take a nap and shut his door he usually throws all his stuff around. This day he accidentally fell asleep on it all.Appleseed with his pacifier. I love the grin behind it. What cracked me up is that not 5 minutes before I had found one under there and threw it away. Then he comes out with that. Then one sad sad night he was in need of comfort and I was exhausted and just could not stay awake any longer feeding him and I pulled the one that I wanted to put in his keepsake box and shoved it in. I now have started using it for naps and bed time. And yes, occasionally he finds it during the day and pops it in. Silly kid.

Cruising

Here he is cruising around with his walker. So cute. Won't be long now.

Snoring away

Here is my Butterball snoring, or not snoring and then snoring. Kind of scary. Hope we get that appointment soon. See below post for what I am talking about.

Fun at the Doctors

We ventured to the doctors yet again. I really don't look forward to it. Usually I and the doctor end up yelling when conversing just to hear. Because my kids are fighting so loudly. It is a riot. We went to check on Butterball as he snores VERY LOUDLY and stops breathing while sleeping. First of all he is almost 3 1/2 years old and weighs a whomping 26 pounds. So cute. The doctor said his tonsils are larger than they should be for his age and that his adnoids are swollen and pushing down his cleft palate. So he is sending us to an ENT doctor. Oh yippee. But wouldn't that be something if he got this fixed and was a less moody boy because he wasn't so tired all the time? Hmmmmm..... Butterball is always hiding in the cabinets. I let my kids write on the table paper to help keep them entertained also. Darn, it still doesn't make them behave when the doctor comes in. Do you love my shoes? They are so tacky but they are easy to slip on and comfortable. I even had to wear them to church one day when I was out of town as I had forgot to pack any. he he

Yearly Santa Visit

Santa drives by on his fire truck every year and they throw out candy. It is a fun tradition that I loved as a child. It is fun to now do it with my kids. This is how Butterball spent it. We had put on his winter clothes and then he would change his mind and rip them off in a fit. So he did not get to see Santa as he was in the house crying that he didn't want to go out there. Silly kid. Butterbean giving me yet another goofy face.Appleseed kept getting snow in his face which he was not too happy about.One of the neighbors. Way too cold for me.

Butterbean

Me: So why do you try the foods at Aunt T's house?

Her: Cuz I know she will make me.

Me: But I will make you too.

Her: I know. But I know Dad won't make me. Plus she just has a better talent for cooking than you do.

We were setting up the Christmas tree and she said, "I can totally feel the spirit right now." So cute. Earlier that day she had told me, "I have the biggest and strongest spirit in the whole house." My girl that is the least nice in the family? Hmmmm....ok.

The vacuum has hurt her ears since she was little. So when it was her chore she wore her ear muffs to protect her ears.My daughter and friends sporting twinner hairstyles.She came out in this get up for dress-up. Cracked me up that she was filing her nails.And a close up so you can see the hair ball dangling from her glasses. he heMy daughter got her grades awhile back. All 3's and one 2.75 in penmanship. I have been giving her extra homework at home on a 1st grade level as she is very bright for her age. She does, sometimes, struggle with it or will get frustrated with it. But rarely. And depends on how tired she is. She can read on a grade level of 2.6 which is 2nd grade level I think. I was checking into moving her to the 1st grade after the last quarter. But after having heard what her teacher felt and praying about it we decided to keep her in Kindergarten. I was sad but am now OK. Her teacher said nothing that surprised me but disappointed me mostly. She said that intellectually she is ready for 1st grade but that emotionally she is not. She said she emotionally is a Kindergartner which made sense to me. And also that she would worry that she would struggle in 1st and would therefore struggle the rest of her life. She said if she stayed in Kindergarten she would be at the top of the class and would therefore be at the top of her class the rest of her life. So basically she likes the easy road which I already knew too. Darn. Oh well. I do now think this is the best but it was hard to get to that feeling.

Butterball and his isms

Fell asleep while I was reading.He seriously claimed he did not know what was on his face for a good 10 minutes. I can't believe him. So funny!He cracks me up that he has that table in bed with him. Love it!"When I was up in Heaven, Heavenly Father helped put Appleseed on my lap so that I could hold him. Him nice."

He saw a picture of Jesus near the tomb and he said, "When him died I was in there taking care of him. I wanted him to come back to life." Later in the day I wanted to see if he would remember what he had said. So I asked him if he remembered what he had said about Jesus in the tomb. He said the exact same thing as before.

"When you was married me and Butterbean were up in Heaven and I tagged her. And we were playing with Jesus and we played ring a round the rosy with him. It was fun."
