Breckin

Breckin is such an amazing girl.....
One evening she was picking her clothes out for school the next day (which I don't even have to ask her to do). She was asking what would look good with the shirt she had picked, I told her to get some jeans. She immediately started to cry.

Me- What
Breckin- I don't like to wear jeans.
Me- Why, does your bum crack hang out when you sit down?
Breckin- No, My legs look fat when I sit down!

OH MY GOSH....What have I done to my daughter....She has listened to me every time I have said I feel like I look fat, or that I don't like my thighs (cause I really don't)
I am so sorry I have passed my insecurities to you!

So she is still crying

Me- What now? (me still reeling in what I had just heard)
Breckin- I don't want to tell you.
Me- To bad now you have to tell me.
Breckin- It's something that you do, that I don't like.
Me- (oh dear)
Breckin- I don't like it when you SWEAR!

Wow, talk about putting myself in check...
Thank you Breckin for helping me be a better person

No swearing or talking about my fat---guess I won't be saying much...

Oh Brenner

Yesterday Brenner decided Dexter (the dog) need liquid...so he dropped his pants and peed in the dog dish..And instead of stopping him we took pictures!

Potty Trained

A couple weeks ago Brenner (2 1/2) decided he was potty trained...What was I gonna do..say no?

Lets just say it's been a breeze...He has only had a handful of accidents and it's usually when Nathan or Carson are in charge ( surprise ). The only problem is that sometimes he decides to pee in inappropriate places....like the kitchen sink or London's tea set....What can ya do. So if you drive by and he his peeing out the front door, don't be surprised. Better than peeing on the carpet, right?

And by the way he is still talking in the 3rd person...and what point should I be concerned that my child is going to sound like Carl Malone...

London's birthday-
Sept 27th

We had a little party before school, played game decorated cupcakes, and had lunch. She loved all the attention....
That evening we took her on her "birthday date"
She chose bowling and decided she wanted to eat dinner at the bowling alley! When I asked what she wanted to eat she asked if they had Ramen! Boy that could saved me alot of money had I know she would be happy with ramen!
She got a new bike.
I love this girl! She makes me laugh everyday.....


Breckin's Birthday
Oct 5th

It was not her "party year" but they didn't have school due to parent teacher confrence. So we went to Ross and she and London got to spend their "grandma money". Breckin bought 'littlest pet shop" and London a 'barbie'. (SUPRISE) That evening for her "birthday date" she also chose bowling and Texas Road House....really....why not Ramen?
She also got a new bike.
Breckin is still the sweet, eager to please girl she has always been.

Happy Birthday my sweet girls......

Conversation

Brenner.....Mom, Brenner ready eat. (He speaks in the 3rd person..is this a problem?)
Me....What do you want to eat? Cereal, Pancakes, oatmeal?
Brenner.....No, Mcdonalds.

For 1 split second I was tempted to pack up the kids and go...... Cause you know how I feel about Dt. Coke from Mcdonalds

All in a day....

Brenner learned how to open his bedroom door....roll down the car windows with his foot...and undo the top buckle on his carseat all today...yay! let the fun begin...
