Guess Where WE Are This Week???

Horsing around with Grandma!

We are camping this week with the In-laws... Will post when I can!!! :) Have a great week!

Be a Rebel...

So many people try all their lives to be unique, to push themselves away from the "norm" and create their own identity. Kids spend most of their teen years rebelling, while people stand back and shake their heads. "THAT child will never become ANYTHING... Why can't they be just like all the rest of the children their age???"

And who knew we could have avoided all of that hassle as a child, and just waited for people to think we were crazy, we were going about things wrong, we were doing a bunch of worthless work...

And all we had to do to become a rebel was to buy a farm, some animals and grow your own food....

Heard on The Farm...

There are SO many funny things that are said on a day-to-day basis, and at the time you may not really feel like they are THAT funny, but later... well, THEY'RE FUNNY! :)

Here are a few things that can be heard on the farm:

• The neighbor dog was giving Girl (our dog) a back-rub again! (As said by my boys of when the neighbor dog is "mating" with our dog... Yikes.)
• Aw! I just changed my socks yesterday. (As said by a boy on the following evening, after I asked WHO'S FEET STINK!??
• Look! That guys on a Loped! (Low-ped- AKA- Moped)
• How did you get food on the BACK of your head??? (this is all Austin's....)
• Is that mud, or is it POOP!? (as we often try to identify the dark brown clump on the kitchen floor...)

Anyone else have funny things that can be overheard around your house???

Time for a Cute Boy...

It's always a good time to check out a cute little boy! We have lots of those "cute boy" moments mixed in with craziness around here, so they balance out pretty well.

The other day, I was going to go out to the barn, so I started to get "bundled up" and Koen, my 18 month old, noticed me getting ready. He runs and grabs his brother's sunglasses and a small purse that I "outgrew" recently. He puts the sunglasses on his head and the purse on his arm, and wants to go out with me. He did not get to go out to the barn with me, not matter HOW cute he was.

But then, later, I need to go to my mom's and told the boys to get ready to go... Koen, once again, ran and got his sunglasses and purse. Here he is ready to go to grandma's!

If it can get much cuter than this, I don't know how! Now, time to teach the boy to grab a WALLET instead of a purse, so his dad won't freak out... ;) hahaha!

Newsflash: Internal Tracking System Found in Children

OK, so the kids have been M.I.A. for hours now, and I think it is safe to take a shower without being bothered. Ya know what I'm sayin'?

So. I grab my clothes, and go to the one bathroom that actually has plumbing. I start the shower. I peek out quickly to make sure the baby hasn't woke up yet, and that no stray child has wondered into our home and has to go #2.

Phew! Coast is clear. As I slip into the warm soothing water of the shower...

A knock. What was that? I didn't see ANYONE before I jumped in here.

Another knock.

Is this a joke? Am I on Candid Camera? Cuz if I am, I am gonna be real mad. I don't have any make-up on. Or clothing.

Another knock, then "MOM?"

"WHAT!? I am TRYING to shower!"

"Um. Deklyn said I was a bully."

"Are you SERIOUS? Is Candid Camera standing out there with you right now?"

"What?"

"Nothing. Don't listen to him, and GO PLAY! I'm TRYING to take a shower!'

Silence. Ah silence! I can start to let the cares of the day roll off and down the drain...

Knock, knock, knock. "MOM?"

"Are you kiddin' me right now?"

"Mom? I have to poo*."

"Well, there's NO way you are gonna do it right now, dude. I am in the shower!"

"But I have to go REALLY BAD!"

"Then you had to go 10 minutes ago, BEFORE I got in the shower, so you should have came THEN. Right now, I am in the shower! You HAVE TO come back after I'm done!"

"BUT..."

"GO! I'm in the SHOWER!!!!"

Silence. OK. SO this isn't going to relax me and whatnot, but at least I will get myself clean, right?

Knock. Knock. "MOM!"

"Are you serious? IS your dad home yet?!"

"Yes. He's home."

"THEN GO TELL YOUR DAD< DON'T TELL ME! I'M IN THE SHOWER!"

Silence. OK, I'm just gonna rinse this conditioner out before I have to jump out of the shower with it still in my hair, because someone outside the door had blood coming from a cut in their head or because someone has to #2 SO BAD.

I am POSITIVE that children have this tracking devise in their brains that tells them when their mother has locked a door, or when she starts to relax like .5%. They know it, and they don't like it!

I wonder if this is something we can have removed, like the salivary gland on a dog. Hmmm... Somethin' to look into...

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

One day about a week ago, I came home to a broken plant bowl and a plant with hardly any leaves (this plant has had its issues anyways...). I came in, expecting to hear that the boys were running circles around in the house, and knocked it over.



Which would totally NOT surprise me.



But, when I asked my husband what had happened, he just handed me the digital camera, with a picture on it. It was THIS picture:







Uh-Huh. TROUBLE.


My hubby said Koen knocked into it, and didn't even flinch... scary... Plus, I think Koen is a secret society member of the One-Sock Gang. If you notice in the picture, it's not really on very well, and I have been catching him ripping a sock off. Or I will find him in bed with one ripped off. Hmmmm...


My (almost)9 month old baby has already joined a gang. The same gang that all of my other boys have been in since about 6-8 months of age. I think I'm in trouble if this is the kind of stuff the One Sock Gang does.


I only have so many plants...
