(ben and sara - at mindy's wedding)
in late honor of b-man on his b-day, as yesterday my computer was on the fritz....
ME: you cannot wear these shirts together, they look ridunckulous(sp?), and it is going to be 90 degrees today.
the BIGGEST BEAN: BUT I WAN'T TO WEAR MY PJ'S SHIRT, MY TRUCK SHIRT, AND MY ORANGE SHIRT.
ME: absolutely not - i said no, now get nakies, choose ONE stinkin' shirt and let's go.
the BIGGEST BEAN: urgh...your a bad mommy. uhm, mommy, i wan't to wear five shirts though....
ME: NOBODY DOES THAT.
the BIGGEST BEAN: uncle ben does.
happy b-day b-man, we love yah!
in other news, i took a spin class yesterday - loved it...gonna do it again, and again and again, and the instructor was a fabulous man in his 50's that was not perky or irritating, and was very clear on the fact that if I fell off the bike in the middle of the class and hyper-ventilated, that he was to (and he absoutely promised)continue the class as if nothing happened and just let me crawl out the door...no biggie!
really.
tea and big man started their swim lessons today. she is a wild child, no reservations, while M is pretty sure we are bringing him to the pond to feed him to the loch ness, and does nothing with out a look of sheer horror on his little face. it is hysterical to watch.
the computer is headed downhill, and fast, so if i ever don't get back to you, call me, as i may have just tossed it out the window in utter aggrevation, just a warning.
benji bean is fabulous...rolling over and chattering away, and he has also decided that i come get him out of the crib much quicker if he shrieks as opposed to cries. it's fun, no really.
anyhow, gonna run and finish picking up - i spent SIX, yes people, read SIX freaking hours cleaning my KITCHEN today, yup, just the kitchen. organized the drawers, the cabinets, everything, UNRECOGNIZABLE. and i probably could have spent four more if i didn't have these three children running wild....
before i go, on a tea-note...
t likes to brush her teeth "all by self", it's a big deal. i turn the water on to nothing more than a dripping, and set her up standing at the sink on her little potty, and she and her strawberry shortcake toothbrush go to town....she has been known to do this for an hour at a time....mainly just drink the water out of the bristles, but regardless. i was cleaning the dining room two days ago, i set her up and left the bathroom. about 10 or so minutes later, she came into the room i was in and had just the most disgusted look on her face...and oddly, a strange and familiar, yet not so minty fresh smell coming from her mouth....upon a quick trip to the bathroom, it was discovered using my nancy-drew style detective skills, that T had taken it upon herself to brush her teeth for 10 or so minutes, i'm guessing ten, based on the looks of the soap/what was left of it, using my homegrown-mondo expensive-farmers-market-delectable-on-your-skin-yet-not-so-much-in-your-mouth PATCHOULI soap to brush her teeth...
she is SO my kid.
love it.
love you all,
c-yah on the flip side...
