Kids say the craziest things....

So yesterday when Conner got out of the tub I wrapped him in his hooded frog towel and he started jumping around saying, "Rabbit, Rabbit..." I chimed in and started saying "Ribbit, Ribbit" hoping it would click. He turned around and said "No, Mom." and what sounded exactly like the F-bomb. Of course my jaw it the floor and I said "What did you say" He said it again and we kept repeating ourselves about four more times. Conner was totally irritated I wasn't getting what he was saying and he grabbed his towel and said what was suppose to be frog but still sounded like the f-bomb, at least I know I'm not raising a potty mouth.

Then this might be TMI so feel free to skip....

Corbin walked in when I was getting in the shower and said, "Mom, why are you all bumpy?" I'm not sure if he was referring to the fat rolls or the cellulite so I just said, "Mom is not in shape." He followed up with, "You need to get in shape." Lucky I love that kid because I might of hit anyone else who said that. We quickly had a talk about exercise, taking care of our bodies and privacy.

And yes I am going to start exercising.

Streaker

So I read Amy's post the other day on Addy and her stripping and laughed and thought how I never really went through any of that with the my own kids....until this week.
I have caught Conner naked about a dozen times, just random times during the day. Today was the funniest. First, I found Conner naked standing in the tub putting the roll-on soap all over his belly and the first thing he says to me is "What?" in his funny abrupt way. So I caved and let him take a bath in the middle of the day. So an hour later I finally convinced him to get out of the tub without throwing a fit, got him dressed and sent him on his way. Then about 2 hours later I found him stark naked riding his tractor and Corbin pushing him up and down the hallway, like it was completely natural. Conner saw me and just started laughing. I put another diaper on and he jumped right back on the tractor and was on his way. You've got to love them...

I didn't dare post the naked pictures even though it was just his cute butt cheeks and yes that is a diaper, we are still not even close to potty trained. Hopefully before Kindergarten!!!

Holidays...

Wow, the holidays flew by so quickly. I can't believe it. Christmas was busy visiting family and friends. We had a fun Christmas party with our friends. It was so fun, we hardly ever get to see everyone. Thanks to Jodi for planning it and thanks to her parents for letting us have it at their awesome house. We had a lovely Christmas Eve afternoon with my dad and my Grandma Kuhn and then we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Harveys for dinner and the traditional party. Christmas morning the kids slept till 8 and then we opened presents and went to my moms for a delicious breakfast. Could we have packed anything more in?!?!?! Probably, but we were exhausted by the time it was over. I love my family and love seeing them and catching up on everything.
Chrismas Eve jammies and slippers were a big hit this year.

Corbin was very excited about his new pirate ship.

Cassidy taking a picture of Cameron with her new camera.

Cute Conner with his very own flashlight!

Reese loving his present from Santa.

New Years Eve was heavenly. I was called off from work so we went and rented movies and bought treats and just relaxed at home. The kids were in bed by 9 and me and Cameron were in bed by 11. With the exception of work, I don't think I have stayed up for new years since I was single. I know, BORING!!!
I love you all and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.

Oh yeah, this was Conners newest war wound. He fell into the fireplace on Christmas Eve. Of course it is on his face again!!!
