Coming Soon, To a Theatre Near You!

So the other day, I'm trying to convince Cerise that she needs to put clothes on - "Cerise! Time to get dressed! Come here naked girl! No, don't run away! I'm serious Cerise. You're going to get cold! No, it's not hot in here. You'll have to get dressed by yourself if you don't come now. Cerise! I mean it!!! Okay, now I'm going to count. One, Two, Threeeeeeee! Pleeeeaaaase!" Obviously my constant nagging was getting me nowhere. I just don't understand why my children don't instantly do EXACTLY what I want when I want. Maybe I just need a new tactic! I know - I'll try singing! I'll make up a song about getting dressed. So now imagine my singing voice at full force making up a stupid song about getting dressed (and I paid how much to get a degree in Early Childhood Education???) Time to put on underwear! It goes right on your derriere! Hurry quick and get your shirt! Before I rub your face in dirt! Okay, I may be slightly exaggerating here, but the amazing fact was that Cerise got dressed while I sang my loud, obnoxious and very annoying song. And the best part of all was that Tobias came rushing into the room at the end of my singing and very excitedly said, "Mom! You sing so good you should be on stage!!!!" So, coming soon to a theatre near you, The Terrible Momma Singer! See you there!

Oh, The Things Kids Say!

Yes, I am a terrible blogger! Who knew it would be soooo hard to think of something to write. If I were only Lori or Amy......They are quite amazing at writing interesting blog material!

In my attempt to provide something moderately interesting for those of you out there, I have compiled a list of some wacky things my kids have said over the past several months.

Tobias - "What does pervert mean?" (after watching the movie Ice Age)
Tobias - "I will be unacceptable!!!" (when he didn't want to go to soccer and was worried about kicking the ball into the wrong goal)
Tobias - "Mommy, here I come!" (he told me he said this on when he got on the school bus on his first time riding the bus home)
Tobias - "Mom, did you know that I will love you even when you are dead?"
Tobias - "Mom, I don't want to go see Jesus when I die." Me - "Why not?" Tobias - "Because I'm worried that it will be a long ride."
Tobias - "What???? I can't get married until I'm 18?" (disbelief when he found out he couldn't get married in kindergarten)
Tobias - "No mom! I'm not going to say that that lady is fat!" (when pointing at a very pregnant lady)

Cerise - "I don't want to have a birthday!!!!" (upon learning that it was her 3rd birthday)
Cerise - "Mom, can you tangle my laces?" (asking me to tie her first pair of sparkly converse shoes)
Cerise - "I have a yucky pickle noodle!!!" (she was sharing a bowl of takeout noodles with Dan and actually got a small piece of red onion)
Cerise - "What is that brown bump on that lady's face?" (pointing to a large bumpy mole on the face of a lady sitting next to us a swimming lessons)
Cerise - "I'm mad! I'm going to yell and scream at you. I'm going to stomp and kick and be rude!"
Cerise - "Mom, a little girl is going to crawl into your bed tonight" (of course she means that SHE will crawl into our bed)

Christmas Wish List

For the first time, Tobias was listing off items he wanted (not necessarily for Christmas but for RIGHT NOW!!!) and so I suggested that he make a list of things he would like. He thought that was a great idea and disappeared into the kitchen where the pens and paper are. After a LONG time of silence, he came out with his wish list. I assumed he would try to spell words to create a list, but instead he drew pictures of everything he wants. The list is quite interesting because he already has many of the items he listed. He also made a list of things he thought Cerise might want. I thought the lists were quite creative (he has only been interested in drawing since kindergarten started) so here they are! Enjoy!

Entering the Blog world

Well, after seeing Amy and Lori's blogs, I knew it was time for me the enter the BLOG WORLD. Scary.... I'll learn as I go which is definately story of my life. Just when I think I have things figured out I realize that I am completely clueless. So please, help me out along the way! Looking forward to seeing the adventures ahead!
