Gotta love days like today...


I have had such an amazing weekend with my 3 kids. Had alot of time to sit in my lawn chair , watching them play together, chasing my boy, rocking him, kissing him. Summer has finally made it here and I am loving every second of it. Tonight we stayed out til dark, watched the kids swim, played with Kanon in the sand and slide, pushed Ava in the swing. After all the fun I took them in and threw their booties in the tub. Kanman had sand caked to his scalp, Ava had grass in her buttcrack hahah, poor Ady was stuck in the tub with these 2 little crazies! Here are some pics from tonight.

Sleepy


What a day it has been. Today I had Peyton, Luke , Ady, Ava, and Kanon. They were all angels however those little dudes wore me out so now I am headed to bed. We drove to Dexter tonight to watch Luke play ball, he was great, got an awesome hit, we are proud of him!!! I am loving getting to keep Luke, he makes me laugh and smile and we are forming an even closer bond than we had, same goes for Ady & Luke, they have yet to argue, they are best friends and they have something so special. Anyway I have a blog Im gonna write about in the morning so stay tuned .

He is gorgeous right? How lucky am I to be his Aunt. So So blessed!

That's Just Crap!

Woke up at 7:30 am to the smell of feces. Usually the smell is smothered with a diaper, however this time it was all over little man's crib. Kanon sleeps in a crib- a smaller one- like the ones you get in hotel rooms. I like to have him near me at night but not in bed with me because we are already over crowded anyway. Kanon apparently had woke up, taken his diaper off, pooped, smeared his poop everywhere, stomped on his poop, painted with his poop, decorated his crib with the poop, even had poop on the plastic matress. After gagging for 20 minutes I scooped him up and put him in the bathtub, while bits of poop floated around in the water *gag* He kept trying to grab them and I was so close to puking all over myself. After getting him clean and all the poop bits down the drain, I slapped on another diaper and put his little booty in his other crib and began scrubbing the crap crib. So far my day is crappy, I sure hope this is no idicitation of things to come. I will be taking 5 kids today to the waterpark , and meeting my friend Kim there with her too kids for a day of fun in the sun! Wish me luck and lets hope to a crap-free day!

Jon & Kate plus 8




I have been wanting to blog about this subject for a while, but was waiting to see the season premiere. My thoughts on this? ....well first and foremost it doesn't really matter because its none of my business. However I felt I needed to blog because I have been a fan from day 1. Seriously since the 1st episode, not just recently jumping on the bandwagon, I have been on the ride for a long time. I love the kiddos, they are so adorable and such good little kids. I can't imagine if I had cameras on my kids, you guys would probably be thinking we needed to be on SUPERNANNY. 8 little kids in a house should be pure chaos, but it never really is , always fairly quiet. I really hope they stay together, they have done so much as a team for so long. Every vacation, trip, even little outings they are always together. I think it would hurt the kids so much not having them together. I just hope the media calms down and stays out of their business, its gonna do nothing but hurt those poor little kids. So sad that when they go into a store or supermarket they are gonna be bombarded with magazines of their parents on the front page with big headlines calling them CHEATERS. They need to think about the kids, the ones who are going to suffer from their magazines and pictures. Anyway the premiere was great as usual, was sad to not see them on the same couch the whole interview but I am still happy they were at the party together. I can't believe the sextuplets are another year older, they keep getting cuter and cuter!

Onto happier and smellier things. About a month ago it was mentioned on someone's blog about Goat Milk Soap. I thought I would give it a try, I am a sucker for things that smell good. When I got to the website there were all these comments from customers, and that's what sold me! People had wrote how soft it made your skin, how you can shave with it, it feels like you have been using lotion on your skin, and the smell is very yum. I ordered right away. My favorite is Ocean which I will post a picture below. I have also ordered, Milk, Honey and Oatmeal -thats a great one too, and Fiji Island is good, haven't ordered anything that's not good but definitely would recommend OCEAN, I just got done washing my face with that and my face is softer than Kanon's butt, and that is really soft! Adyson, who has always been big on the tube of body soap has made the switch. She loves her goat milk soap and I catch her in there washing her face so many times a day hahaha. Please check out the site http://www.goatmilkstuff.com/ I received the soap very quickly after ordering, it is packaged very neatly and I will never switch back to regular soap again!!!! Hope you try it out!




Last but certinately not least is a pic of Ady & Luke playing in the water on Sunday. What a pair they are, there is so much love between these cousins. They are the best of friends, it has been a joy watching these 2 grow up together.

Farm Town

Hi this is Kanon and my mommy can't blog tonight b/c she is playing farm town. Sad huh? She started this game a few days ago and she is glued to her computer chair. She does hop up from time to time to change my diaper luckily. What is farm town? Why is my Mommy stuck to her chair? Hopefully this trend will end soon so Mommy can get some sleep, she looks very tired . night night blog fans!

Not Me Monday!


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

* Yesterday we spent the day at my parents house, Ava did not hop in the "little gator" with her cousin Lawson to take a spin. They also did not have a head on collision into a block of concrete. If that would have happened all of us grown up's standing around would have noticed right? That would have never happened....esp in our care.


* We are now the owner of a turtle named Tucker, and I would never paint his back in all different girly colors in shapes of squares right? That would be so mean and I would probably get turned in for doing so. However no way in the world would I take a picture to document such a horrid thing and then to post it on facebook? Not me, no way!!!!!!!


* I didn't go out and buy some new ammo for bribing my kids to clean and be nice to each other. However I hear there are these Kid coupons that reward them for doing things ex: cleaning, being nice to their siblings, doing what their parents ask of them. That would be such a major form of bribery, and I would never do such a thing, not in this house !

* Last night Adyson had a tooth hanging by a thread, she did not want me to pull it whatsoever, I would never be the type of parent to tell her that if she let me pull it , I would take her out for lunch this week instead of leaving her at school during noon, and I also wouldn't bribe her with a movie for the weekend. That's just not my style.


* You know those coupons mentioned above, well I would never offer my oldest daughter 2 of those coupons for cleaning my car out after school today, that would be child labor right? Not me, no way!
