Talk to you in a month. I am going to dance with my children. I have proven time and time again that I cannot blog and dance at the same time....they win.

3 things and then I'll stop.
In no order of importance although I think they all reach high security levels at my house. We are up in arms about each and every one of them.
1- Nathan has been giving me a run for my money today. Well make that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY CHILDREN. for about a week now. but Nathan has been extremely fussy and needy and whiney and clingy and waking up when sleeping and aaaaaaaaah aaaa huuuu huuuuu. No fever, but today he was pulling on his ears more than normal and covering them up and crying and crying so I made an appointment with our new ped to have his ears looked at.
Now remember. This is the same doctors office that I took Syd to with her "broken" ankle. The same appointment in which she laughed and played and jumped up on to the table and down from tables and made me look like a crazy mother. (in my defense it was swollen and bruised and she couldn't walk on it before we got to the doctors office )
So we get there, check in, sit down. Nathan sits and talks and babbles and flirts and smiles and points and acts as if he hasn't a care in the world.
Great ! GREAT ! I almost walked out.
Luckily for him I didn't. Double ear infection. prescription for amoxicillin.
2- Charlize Theron kissed a woman for 20 seconds for the small fee of 140k. My wife is upset and is currently laying down with a cool cloth on her forehead. I tried to explain that she did it for charity but J was too distraught to hear anything I had to say.
3- Rosie and Kelly split up. I can't take the break ups. I can't. I know that not everyone stays together forever but it doesn't make it any easier when they make the decision to finally split.
All I can say is that I hope they work it out.

Big Boy Pant!es !
You better work...coverboy...work it boy...give me a toy...do your thing...on the runway.
The underwear is more of a prop right now...but OH MY GOSH are they cute in them. Such cute little tooshes.
What's cuter than that you ask ? How about a close up !!
His brother wasn't up for runway tonight. All he needed was his baby brothers train and some wood to drive it on.
What's more powerful than that you ask ? How about the calf muscles on this kid !
This post would NOT be complete without a little Village People.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A...
MacDeath !
Me and the wife went to see MacBeth. (the opera) last night at Capital Theater.
I gave J the quick synopsis right before it started. We shared a bottle of wine at dinner (again, cheaper than by the glass although we should have stopped after 1 glass) and were both a little fuzzy. I personally thought it made it much better.
J wished someone would have ripped her eyes and ears off of her head and replaced them with high resolution plasma panels and a satellite dish. She was miserable.
Did you know that they now have subtitles at Opera's ? (did you know that I just spelled Opera, Oprah, oh good hell) I have to say that it made ALL the difference in the world. I knew the story of MacBeth but would have been a little lost at parts had there not been subtitles. I will say that Lady MacBeth had an amazing voice. We didn't stay for the suicide and murder of the MacBeth's...we had high school babysitters and it was a school night. but I did enjoy myself. again, I think the wine played a big role in all of it.
can someone tell me....didn't the story only have 3 witches ? there was a stage full of them singing last night.
I pulled Syd's 2nd tooth out. It was slightly wiggly and I just kept messing with it. I finally pushed it towards her tongue and we both heard the crackling of roots being ripped away from the tooth and her gums. She gasped because I'm sure the sound was amplified 10 times in her head and then realized that it was hanging on by a thread. She squealed with delight and told me to finish the job. Like before, I grabbed a wet wipe (for better grip) and pulled.
She got a dollar, a new toothbrush (much needed), toothpaste and floss (no more dinosaurs...she wants the adult kind :) from the tooth fairy this morning. oh and the best part of all, she goes back on track Monday and will have such great stories to tell.
Now we CAN sing the song as it was written. All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth. my two front teeth.....yadda yadda yadda. I know they are referring to the 2 top but it's not specific and so we are going with it.

Pumpkin's are for patching.
We had some friends over Saturday for pumpkin patch, painting, pizza and playing.
It was a lot of fun.
I feel so blessed to have such great friends who we can share these experiences with.
This is the only picture I can get uploaded. There was a corn maze and hay rides and wheelbarrows and tractors and chickens. and then there were these hay barrels sitting in front of corn stalk.

J says.....Sydney does !
I have a post about our pumpkin patch weekend and I can't get blogger to upload any of my pictures. SO. this. is filler.
It's funny how many things that happen and J will say...."you had better not blog about this !"
Well yesterday I said...."I'm TOTALLY blogging this !" you know. as a threat. but not really a threat because since I needed a little filler, here goes.
Me : how much longer are you going to watch football before you come up and help clean the house. (we had guest coming over to paint pumpkins and play)
J : It's your house.
Me : Oh, it's not our house now it's my house.
J : It is when it needs to be cleaned.
Me : hysterical laughter (I think I may have punched her in the arm too:)
J : It is really going to suck for anyone who goes to high school with all 4 of our boys.
Me : why ?
J : because there will only be 1 starting position on the varsity basketball team.
J : oh my gosh look how clear this is ! I mean, you can see their pores it's so clear ! Look. Look at that...and you are telling me you can't tell a difference !? Look at the crowd. I mean, you can see each individual hair. This is SOOOO Cool ! seriously. how clear is that ?! You should see basketball. I swear it's more clear than football. I can't believe we didn't have this before !
(J on her new High Def package)
at one point I said all of these things back to her..and for a second she was buying in to it and then she of course scowled at the smirk on my face. :) ha ha ha. for the record. it is pretty cool. oh and clear.
Sydney does !
Tonight Sydney emerged from the bathroom after brushing her teeth. She confirmed the task done by blowing in my face. (yes, it's come to that to ensure they are actually being brushed :)
She climbs in to bed. I start her music, cover her up, place miss piggy (yes she's still around) next to her and kiss her goodnight. She immediately sits up, climbs out of bed, walks over to her door, pulls her pants and underwear down.....(ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-ip) pulls a panty liner from her underwear, pulls everything back up and jumps back in to bed.
I'm still shaking my head. (and smiling)
I think she did this once before 2 years ago. She cracks me up.
***updated with a Cam says***
Cam wants a bike that looks like a mo-oh-cycle. Mommy J said that if they go potty in the potty and wear big boy underwear, they can have it. (we now have a picture of the bike hanging above the toilet)
Cameron is pretty determined. Other than naps and when we are going someplace he has been wearing his big boy dinosaur undies. He hasn't gone potty in the potty nor has he gone potty in his underwear.
This morning I took off his diaper and held his underwear down for him to put his feet in them.
His response, "oh no....not again"
This may be a month of training, but I can't WAIT for them to be potty trained.
Spencer. no desire. won't sit on the potty. nothin'

All I want for Christmas is my one lower right middle tooth. my one lower right middle tooth. my one lower right middle tooth....
Not so much in the first picture...but riiiiiight there. yip there, with the big red arrow pointing right directly toward it...you can see that permanent tooth already coming up.
The toothfairy left her $1.00. Now she's trying to get the loose one next to it to come out :)
I'm saving her tooth...is that gross ? I don't want to throw it away :( I didn't save umbilical cords or foreskin from her brothers circs. teeth are TOTALLY ok. right ?
