MORNING ROUTINE
For the past month or so our morning routine consists of this:
Sam waking up at exactly 6:03!!! Seriously it’s like he had an alarm clock….I’d bring him into our bed in attempt to get him to maybe, just maybe fall back asleep for another hour! We all know how well that went! He’d snuggle with me for about 2 minutes, before crawling over my head….kicking Daddy…trying to crawl to the foot of the bed…giving me a heart attack that he would fall off the bed…until I finally give up and go to the living room on the couch and let Sam play with his toys! Of course the toy he chose to play with…yes you guessed it THE.LOUDEST-POSSIBLE.TOY. he owns!!!!
Well this past week (and I know by writing this I’m tempting fate with the universe and Sam will this time wake up at 5:03!!!! But I’m gonna do it!) This past week…Sam has actually slept thru his alarm and is waking around 7:10! A much better hour of the morning…if there is such a thing!
Most mornings Charlie is still asleep through all of this. But every so often he too wakes up….The other morning (we’re still in bed…Sam’s with us) he calls out “Is it time to get up yet? (Since he’s been in a toddler/big boy bed he’s slept with the door closed…always… and will not get up to open it himself until we tell him too!) Anyways…he calls out…”is it time to get up yet? I yell back (totally joking) “NOPE!” So about 5 maybe 10 minutes go by…and he hasn’t come out yet…so I call to him…”why aren’t you coming out?” He calls back…”because he told me not too!”
Such an obedient child!

Life with boys....
I grew up in a house with all girls…except my Dad. There are three of us…and my mom…and we only had ONE bathroom! My poor father is all I can say. Oh but they put in the second bathroom after we all moved out! What’s the deal with that! (That became my dad’s bathroom!!!!) He finally had his own private domain!!!
Well I get my payback…I have two boys so now I’m the one who is outnumbered! And wow the boy genes sure do kick in early!!!
Sam who is just a year old already laughs at fart and burps!!! Oh yes….he burps he laughs…Charlie burps - they BOTH laugh!!! Sam has also discovered that when he farts in the tub it creates bubbles…again with the LAUGHS!!!
And all I can do is shake my head and laugh too!!!!

What's going on here!!!!
Seriously…it’s been almost a year since I’ve made a post!!! There’s something wrong here! I mean I should have time to post something daily that’s going on in our lives right? RIGHT…oh yeah I have 2 kids (2 kids which should mean double the work of having one…right….WRONG! Try quadruple the work)… Oh yah…AND I work full time!!!!
Well I am feeling inspired…I am taking a page or pages from some of my new favourite mommy bloggers…if you haven’t found these guys yet I strongly encourage you to do so! They are fabulous! www.dooce.com she even has a book! I have it…if anyone wants to borrow!!! You will find yourself laughing out loud! I usually read in bed…just before going to sleep…and several times I’d laugh out loud and Ben would call me a freak! But she’s really funny! Oh yah - she’s even been a question on Jeopardy! (I’m just saying!)
The second mommy blogger… www.amalah.com also fabulous!!! Oh and you have go to read Pioneer woman! Actually more importantly you have to read her story of how her and husband met… here. I dare you to stop after one chapter!!!!
So last week I’m driving with the boys somewhere…I have no idea where…probably to Crazy town! Anyways…I’m listening to the GLEE 2 soundtrack (I can’t tell you how much I love GLEE!!!!) anyways..Charlie’s newest thing is asking what the song is called…so I’m all it’s called “you can’t always get what you want” and when the chorus came – I sang along and had Charlie sing along too! He then proceeded to say “I like this song”. Later that night when getting jammies on he started singing it again….is was very cute!!!!
Sam – well any song he hears he bops his head…which makes him even cuter!
Stay tuned...this is seriously going to be a regular thing for me!
