Big Guy is 8

The Big Guy is 8 today. I can't believe it. We have had fun celebrating but because I don't download pictures for 6 months at a time, I am posting this hospital picture of him. Haha...first-time-Mom-me. I guess by the humongous size of me I assumed he would be gigantic and his clothes ended up being too big. Could we not afford a cuter hat? Did they not sell cute baby hats way back in 2001? He actually had a beautiful little head but I think the scary nurses wouldn't let me take one off of him EVER. I couldn't wait to get home away from those nurses so I could do what I wanted to do. He was as red as he looked here and was jaundiced by the time we got home. That is a whole 'nother story. Don't mention Billi Bed around me if you can help it.

Happy Birthday BIG guy. Eight is great.

[Very] Happy Meal Toy

This toy keeps showing up in my house. I didn't see that movie and was quite disturbed to find it in my toddler's Happy Meal bag. You should see how it spins and vibrates. I did, however, like the way my friend spit her Coke out when I held it up to show it to her.

The Agony of Sharing a Room

For whom you might ask? I think me but today is another story.

Big Guy - almost 8; Little Guy - almost 6; Baby Girl 2, Hubs - 45

(Back-story: Big Guy and Little Guy have been sharing a very large room for about 3 years now. Big Guy on the top Bunk and Little Guy below. Until the last year every night was a huge up-all-night-party. Now it is mostly a lot of fighting and throwing.)

Tonight's conversation with me and the Big Guy before bed was about how it would be "cool" if he had a neat desk and some other things in his room. I pointed out all the holes in the wall and furniture. I also mentioned the missing pictures around the room before I told him I wouldn't spend any more money on that room because everything gets trashed. I forgot to bring up the marker on the wall right where he sleeps on the top bunk. He asked for a trash can and I told him that he had one a few months ago and it was sat on and thrown around until it was crushed. He said "I bet if this was only my room I could have a trash can." I like the way he didn't mention the Little Guy even though that is who he was referring to. He proceeded to find a plastic sack and hang it on the drawer pull of his dresser as his trash can. He showed it to his brother and said the following:

BG: Little Guy, do you see this bag? This is the new trash can. If you mess it up at all you are in big trouble. I will move out if you do. Do you know what that means? To move out?

LG: Yes, you will move out of this room.

BG: That is right. I will be out of here.

LG: Where will you sleep?

BG: Probably with Mommy and Daddy in the Master Bedroom. I will move in there.

LG: The MASTER bedroom? (evil laughter) Why do they call it that?

BG: Because it is the biggest bedroom in the house and it will be big enough for me too.

Mr. First Born cleaned up the whole room (why he needed the trash bag) and when he was done the Little Guy only had to take a few clothes to the laundry room. Wouldn't you know that kid whined and tried to negotiate only taking half of them?

The end of this story is that those clothes are still there on the floor and we will continue this tomorrow. I would bet a ton of money that the trash bag will be ripped apart in the morning. Also, there is poop rubbed on the carpet. Will it never end?

Lizard for Halloween

Sticking her tongue out is her latest "thing". Lovely.

This is just a preview of Halloween. All three will most likely be dressed differently on the actual day.

I just got a pumpkin today. I almost missed out on it.

Do you have candy corn lights on your house?

Never Never Drop Your Pinwheel

Whatever it takes.

I got all three kids in one picture and not one of them was crying or screaming. Awesome. That is pretty much my low bar now.

"It is okay to do this if Mommy has her camera."

"Mommy is a genius for picking an icee the same color as my shirt."

Slacker's Disclaimer: Although the weather can be extremely nice down here in Atlanta, this picture was actually taken this summer.

Fancy Pants

Baby Girl stirred things up at church last Sunday in her very fancy pants and her very thin ponytail.

My girl and Star Wars Legos. Something is wrong with this scene.

Dear Baby Mozart, I don't care if you are not educational

Disney Offers Millions of Parents Refunds

My kids are so old now that they didn't even have these two when they were little. I don't care. I got my shower while Baby Mozart played and when I was pregnant with the Little Guy it was really a life saver. I thought I would die in the first trimester and it was pretty tough taking care of a (wild) 15 month old boy. When I could no longer do puzzles I could pop in one of these movies and doze for a little bit. That can't be any worse than when I couldn't stomach making him lunch and just opened the refrigerator door for him to go at it.

I might also add that Baby Mozart gave us a lot of laughs when that blue thing would stick out his tongue and make that funny noise. It made my boy laugh and that made me laugh.

Guess what I am saying

I really hope I am not saying "look at the camera." I bet that is what I was saying unless it was "go get Mommy another cookie."
