I have written in a while….been busy…scanning….old photos and posting them on facebook. My sisters hate me. The few friends that I did have hate me. Well actually they don’t hate me per se but I’m sure they didn’t want their prom photos posted. Hee hee. Such is life.

How was Thanksgiving? CRAP! I just remembered, the only photo that I took of Thanksgiving this year is gone. I got a new iPhone today. CRAP! *sigh*…..oh well.

I thought I’d post up something funny for your viewing pleasure. Last year I stumbled upon a site called ManBabies and I just thought it was sooo funny. So my sister, Nancy, who’s very familiar with Photoshop did some photos for me….

Here is one of my mom and Kayden….


Here is Zoe & C (this one had me laughing for a while)….


And here’s one of Kayden and C but because of the way his head sunk into the pillow she couldn’t switch heads so instead she made it all about C.
  

Kayden’s Words:
Right now Kayden is watch Dora and Swiper just swiped something from the Pirate Piggies and Kayden ran to the tv yelling “NO SWIPER NO TIME OUT!!!! GO AWAY!” The piggies started to cry and he started to pet each piggie on the screen while saying “You kay? You kay? Aww you kay?” (You okay?)

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So Zoe loves Carly Rae Jepsen. Her dad will make a comment like “Ew. Carly Rae Jepsen? Lame.” and then Zoe will start screeching “DON’T YOU SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT CARLY RAE JEPSEN!!!! DADDY DO YOU WANT A TIME OUT!” blah blah blah…. So yesterday I was playing some light dinner music for the kids and Call Me Maybe came on. She was singing along to it while eating but then asked me….

Zoe: Mommy, why does she say “and this is crAAAAAzy?”
Me: Because. She just met this boy and she probably doesn’t give boys her phone number but she liked him and gave him her phone number so that he could call her….maybe.
Zoe: Why is that crazy?
Me: Because Zoe. Girls don’t give their numbers out to just ANY boy.
Zoe: (smiling all sly while glancing over at me) UH OH! You gave your number to daddy!!!!
Me: Hahahahaha. I did.
Zoe: That’s why you guys are married now.
Me: Yup.

Best thing I ever did.

You know, the hubs and I were talking saturday night and he kept asking me if I wanted him to buy a turkey the next day. I was thinking ‘What is the rush with everyone?!’ Even on facebook someone posted that they bought a turkey on friday and I’m thinking ‘Wow. Someone’s eager for Thanksgiving.” I still thought I had 2 weeks for some reason. I didn’t know it was this week. I feel like I’m in some twilight zone sometimes. PROBABLY from the lack of sleep or GOOD sleep rather. Ever since the hurricane Kayden won’t let me put him down in his crib awake. I have to make sure he’s fallen asleep in my bed and then move him over. Then without fail around 2-3 he’ll wake up crying “MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! MOMMY!!!!!!!!!” And he’ll stay awake screaming for me for an hour or more sometimes. Two night ago I just went and got him and it was hell. Zoe who already snuck into our room was waking up off and on cause Kayden wouldn’t go back to sleep, the hubs was snoring, I was practically falling off the bed. I don’t even know how long he was up that night. Last night he was up for about an hour, I think. I don’t know what to do. I was trying my damn hardest not to get him last night. I kept thinking “this is for his own good, this is for his own good” but he just sounded soooo sad at times. I heard deep sobs at times. *sigh* He’s killing me people. Slowly but surely.

Kayden’s Words:
Snake, Flamingo (mingo), Bear, Cheetah (he’s soooo into animals), polar bear
His favorite book is Brown Bear.

During the week of Hurricane Sandy I don’t know what happened but Kayden got SUPER bossy. It’s all “Go away!” or “Come here!” or “Get up!” or “Sit down” or “Come!” or “Stop!” or “Mommy do it!” *eyeroll* I could be sitting next to him on the floor but he’s patting the spot in front of him while saying “Sit down! Mommy sit down!” And sometimes he’s borderline on the verge of tears if I don’t move. Annoying. Fine! Fine! I’ll MOOOOOOOVE! Also if you do something that he is displeased about he will state that you need a time out. Example, yesterday morning I asked the hubs if he could change Kayden’s diaper. Kayden wanted me to do it and started to cry and I could hear the “No daddy!” on repeat. FINE FINE! So I went over to change him instead and he said “Mommy. Daddy time out.” Let’s say he trips but when he falls Zoe just happens to be on the couch in front of him. He’ll say “Noona time out.” Did she have anything to do with him falling? No. Is he just looking for the closest mammal in our zoo to blame? Yes. This morning he was watching Curious George and this dog knocked over George and accidentally made him drop his piggy bank. Kayden starts yelling and pointing at the tv as if a horrendous injustice had been done while yelling “Mong-mong(doggy) time out!!!!”

Hahaha I just laughed out loud. I put Kayden and Zoe down for their naps and as soon as I shut Kayden’s door he started to cry while yelling “No jaja (sleep)! No mommy! Mommy!!!!” After a few minutes I heard him yelling “Help me!!! Help me!!!”

:: 11.10.12 :: Happy Belated Birthday
This past weekend Hannah & Isabella slept over. Perfect timing since we couldn’t really celebrate Kayden’s birthday last week. I made him a Brobee cake (don’t laugh). It was a last minute decision. He really wanted a Foofa cake but C and I vetoed it. The girls stayed up late saturday night to have a movie night. They chose the new Tinkerbell movie ‘Secret of the Wings’. Do your kids do this? While the movie is playing all I hear from Zoe and Isabella is “I’m Periwinkle who do you want to be?” “I’m Queen Clarion!” “No, I’m Queen Clarion!” “Oooh I want to be Silvermist!” “Fine then I’m Rosetta!” I vaguely remember doing this, or something close to this with my sisters. Omigod, how annoying we must have been. My bad Mom!!!! Hahaha…..

We’re still alive. No power, our house is ice cold, no hot water, we have a gas stove, but we’re safe. I am writing this post through my iPhone. I’ve been posting photos on instagram so you can follow me here: http://statigr.am/petitemandoo
