2 reasons I'm doing this post

1-My past posts have been pretty negative and ornery sounding. Sorry. I've been a little stressed.

2- I had lots of random things I wanted to post about, and this seemed an easy way to do it.



2 things I love about McKenzie

1-Whenever I put her to bed, she begs me to tickle her back. She LOVES it!!! It's the only time she'll hold still and actually -sort of -cuddle with me.
2-I love to watch her mimic her brother. She thinks she is as funny as he thinks HE is.

2 things I don't enjoy so much about Kenzie

1- Her hair!!! Yikes. It's a disaster! It is ALL OVER THE PLACE! It's fine, and thin, and has a mind of it's own. I have to put something in it, or it's always in her eyes, but I think now the elastics are cutting parts of her hair. This is a big deal when their isn't much their anyway! I'm trying to keep it short, hoping it will thicken up soon, but does anybody else have any ideas???
2- Her attitude. She knows what she wants, and sometimes she doesn't care how mean she has to be to get it. She sure knows how to stand up for herself. She is very fiesty, and we've been working a lot lately on not letting her get away with yelling and throwing tantrums. Eating is the worst with her. She HATES eating, unless it's junk or not at the table. She is a little picky, which just usually frustrates me!

2 things I love about Carson

1-He loves to cuddle with me, and I love it when he puts his arm under MY head, (like James would do) and tells me that he loves me, even though sometimes I get mad at him.
2-He is so smart. He loves to learn, and I love teaching him new things all the time, because he actualy REMEMBERS them!!!

2 things I don't enjoy so much about Carson

1- His temper. When he flips out, there is no stopping him. I just let him lose it, then put him in time out,...then after he calms down, he talks. He gets so frustrated with things sometimes, and doesn't take time to just breath before he flips. I guess he is only 3 though.
2-His memory. Sometimes this is good. Sometimes this isn't. He remembers things from things we did 6 months ago, to different lines from movies he saw. He has started repeating things he's remembered, which doesn't always turn out so well. We really have to be careful what he sees, and what we say around him now. The other day I kept hearing him tell Kenzie to "turn her butt off". (This was from a line in "A Bug's Life" about the light on the fireflies butt or something). Anyway, not always good.

2 favorite things to see

1. The kids playing together. Especially when they don't know I'm watching them. A couple of days ago, I came out of the bathroom to find Carson reading McKenzie a book. So sweet.
2- I love watching the kids play with Daddy. He teases them a lot, but I think they secretly enjoy it. They love to rough house with him, and they love when he's home. I love to see them all playing together.

2 favorite activities (as of right now...)

1- Napping!
2- Reading a good book. Okay- question for all of you. I'm sort of in a book club, but the book they picked this month is so LAME!!! Nobody has read it and they sort of picked it random from the libraries book club books. I read a few chapters, and I'm not interested at all. Do you think it would be rude if I just didn't read this months book? I feel like I have better things to do, and read, than to waste my time reading something so boring, just to say I read it. I'm still debating what to do.


2 favorite new "things"

1- This...
This mascara is AMAZING!!! So...I really don't have any eyelashes. Well...I do, but they are so short that nobody can see them no matter how much mascara I put on. They aren't even long enough to curl! So....this sweet little find of mine has been awesome! One side is white, and you put it on, and it sort of attaches little white extensions to your eyelashes. The other side is the black mascara that you put over the extensions and...viola....beautiful, long, eyelashes!

2- Apparently I have never owned a pair of sweats. I told James a few months ago that I was going to spend some of my singing lesson money on something comfortable for me to wear. I don't know if it's because I feel crappy, or what, but I really just wanted something soft and cozy to wear when I don't feel good. So....this is what I found...

I'm really not a name brand kind of girl, and James keeps teasing me that I'm going "trendy" on him, but Aeropostale finally opened up in our Mall, and they were having some KILLER deals. I couldn't help myself. I'm not a huge fan of the "Aeropostale" across the butt, but other than that, I LOVE it! So soft, so cozy....yeah...your pretty much gonna have to burry me in it. I think I'll need another pair before too long, because as much as I've worn this, it's gonna be worn out in a week!

2 favorite foods (Since I've been pregnant. normally, this is not the same.)

1- I've been eating a lot of Regular flavored oatmeal. Kind of gross sounding, but it's filling, and it doesn't make me feel nauseated to think about.

2- Fiber One bars. Chocolate are the best. I can easily stash one away in my purse or my pocket and pull it out on a moments notice if I feel the nausea coming on. They are so good, and pretty healthy too! Gotta try em'!
