have a few minutes to myself so im hittin up this ol blog!! My belly is starting to get "in the way" Not fun...i remember the agony of bending over in the last stages of my Pregnancy last time!! oh well!! st least it will be over with soon enuf..
In other news, lena seems to think one Stuffed Monkey needs 6 diapers I walked out of my room to find clean daipers littered all over my living room! Fun--Such a good mommy!--She also LOVES playing with Cars!! I think somehow daddy has more to do with that than me...In fact she seems to enjoy her cars more than her dolls as her doll house is always filled with cars instead of Dolls--ha its cute...at least she is not one of those really Prissy girls that can be annoying. She turned 2 yesterday and i still find it hard to believe taht i have a 2 year old! now i feel all pressured to ween her from her bottles and passy and potty train her!-- now if any one knows my darling lena this will be no small feat!! she has a will of IRON! Be;ieve me it is waaay stronger than mine! she will out last the best ofm in a showdown! even the dreaded swat doesnt work with this one--she will stick out her hand defiantly for one more...and scream just as loud for a "smack" as she was for whatever else it was she was screaming for--oh dear!!... I used to think I was a good Mom and had it all under controll till this one showed up!!
Well wish me luck! someones gotta do it and its certainly not gonna be Daddy!-ha

sometimes I wonder??
Im sure every Mom feels this...but sometimes I look at my kids and i wonder how I could love number 3 as much as i love these to guys...I know that it is possible for your capacity of love to just get bigger and bigger, I guess it has too...but right now i still wonder how it could be possible?? Im enjoying these 2 little guys soo much...but i guess one more will just be one more to love...One thing that i have found is that each kid usually comes with his own unique little set of personality traits..that become soo endearing with time..even the "difficult" Kids still have those amazingly adorable little thngs about them that you just cant get enough of!!
happy halloween!!!!
had so much fun Trick or treating with the kids..Esp since it was Leanas first TT experience!! We got all dressed up, trev eas a very scarey skeleton with Blood!! he insisted that this year he was NOT gonna be some dumm super hero...He needed to be scary!!! at first i was worried that i would not be able to take the Two of them (Lena and Trev) TT together as Lena was scared of his mask...But seeing as he got his costume welll in advance of halloween, she had ample time to get warmed up to it..and even took to wearing the"scary mask" herself and loved seeing us wear it and make scary noises...in fact she ended up warming up to it sooo much that she would insist on Kissing the Skeleton head??(wierd I know) Another Morbid scorpio thing!! Dont ask me why-- they do have this thing for scary stuff and seem to enjoy getting scared...like in the Grocery store she would at first be terrified of the displays, but as soon as i would take her away from them she would cry to see "Scary" again.
Anyhow, she was a fairy...and even tho it was a simple costume we had lots of fun getting dressed up and esp putting "make up" on!!I Put pretty blue shadow on her eyes and Red lips she was sooo cute making her little 'Oooo' mouth as i applied the lipstick...before we drove up to the houses i gave her, her little bucket and told her PPL were gonna put candy in it!! from that moment on she very carefully held her little bucket and even gave up her fairy wand as she some how Knew the importance of this bucket she was now holding! The first house we went to was very nicely decorated with Pumkin lights and a Giant Pumkin at the door which delighted her to no end!! Trev and i were lagging behind the little fairy, as she stoped and looked behind and said "come on guys" It was soo cute to see her sauntering her little self over to this house and straight up to the door even tho she didnt have a clue what she was supposed to do there. The lady came out and lo an d behold there was another little princess in the door way...Nothing scary!! yeah!!!...she got a little candy and just stared in awe at her little bucket!!! How magical was that!!!...To my suprise she didnt dive into her bucket to retrieve her candy!! No..this was muh too precious for that..she just stared at it in disbelief...and would continually Peek in to make sure it was still there, as we made our way to the other houses... the third house had a group of witches(not too scary) sitting around a real fire! as we approached she yelled "Fire Truck" (Pretty good!-ha)..the ladies were very nice and she seemed to tolerate the Witches as long as they were doing that awesome thing of putting candy in her bucket...but there was a rather scary looking stuffed ware-wolf that was sitting in a chair, she didnt seem to scared by it...but after that she refused to go near another house!! and would say... scary, Scary!! we did manage to go to 2 more houses after that tho the last house we went to she had seen another little princess head toward it with little blinking shoes and became so fascinated by the other girls shoes that she didnt notice that we were heading for another very decorated house!! she kept checking her own shoes to see if they were blinking-ha..any how we made it to the house with out incident...but as we were leaving she started to notice all the things around her, one of which was a coffin with a man rising as he came out...when she saw this she quickly said in her Bravest voice! HI MAN!!!! Another Precious moment!!....and thus concludes our halloween night!!! it was just perfect even tho it was short!! it was all lena could handle...and trev has been under the weather lately, so he agreed that he was ready to go home as well!!! Perfect! I had fun and i will cherish this memory! Oh and did i mention how beautiful the moon looked!!

Lena: Nother Swaberry!!
Me: you want another strawberry
Lena: No
Me: Yes you do
Lena: No
Me: you want a strawberry
Lena: Alright!!
Hahah....I love how she goes 'Alright' as if im the one having to convince her to eat what she asked for!!--God forbid she just say 'Yes'..so funny they just have to be so Acertive at this age right..I offer her the straberry, and she says 'no' but promptly takes it out of my hand and starts eating it.

Sad but true!
We have created a world that is monstrous in its demands: to earn more, to buy more, to display our worth to the world through the stuff that we own and the high status we acquire in the workplace.
And in the process we have shunned the things that matter far more to our sense of happiness and well-being: the strength of friendships, the bonds of family and community, the tranquillity of less pressured lives.

So true huh--I know i can certainly get caught up in that. but it takes the joy of living in the moment away!

Hmmph
I am soooo not a morning person!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leaving my house before 11:00 Never happens.
But,this morning my son insisted on pancakes! We didn't have any pancake mix which meant i had to go to the garage for some flour....Of course i look disheveled, Im in my Pj's still, but threw a frumpled sweater on to hide the fact that im not wearing a bra.
I truck the kids down to the garages--as i know for a fact Lena wont let me get more than three ft away from her with out freaking out!!(I know-- sometimes i wish i could just do these things real quick with out the kids) and the last thing i wanted this morning was to draw any extra attention to my self..So we go to the garage basically with out incident..Of course a five minute trip for me turns into a half an hour with the kids as they want to play with all kinds of things that have been stored in the Garage, and Lena decides she wants to sit in our wagon for about 15 minutes hoping i guess that someone will give her a ride but like most other mothers at eight o'clock in the morning, i know that this is not gonna happen!! It is far to early i haven't had any coffee in fact i really just woke up and want to get back to my house!!
My son is playing with the garage door and nearly shuts it on my head for which i reprimand him...so, were on our way back up to our house of course this time i am lugging a bunch more things that i didn't have on the way down...(Mom look at this can we bring it up to the house)(You know the drill)--I have Lena dangling from one arm and i use my other hand to cart the rest of my stuff back up the hill to my house. My son is still playing with the door--so i yell back at him, Shut the garage door and lock it....I'm half way up the hill when he starts freaking out that he cant shut the door...
So i get myself and Lena parked up the hill and tell him to watch the baby so i can go and shut the garage door!! (buy this time i am sooo over this trip and am annoyed at my son that he suddenly cant shut the door)
Any how i give him strict orders to watch my toddler while i sprint back down the hill and shut the door--Of course i hear the Wails start behind me the second i take off and by wails i mean the most dramatic sounds you have ever heard!!! Yes it sounds like someone is torturing the poor child--she of course starts tearing down the hill after me....I try to lock the garage door as frantically as i can and head back up the hill...but tooo late my daughter has now not only woken up the whole neighborhood, but i see her running down the hill followed closely by none other than a Gorgeously Hot man!!! With a look of grave concern over the poor abandoned 2 year old..Great i mumble to myself( not only do I look like a nightmare but now i also look like the 'worst mom in the world' as my daughter continues her dramatic wails of abandonment!! I try to mumble some words like "her brother is there with her i was just around the corner..She is very dramatic etc...all the while trying to hide my self behind my screaming child..But painfully aware of his eyes burning a hole right through me)
We finally make it into the house and all breath a sigh of relief!! That was not a way to start your day i think to myself and make a mental note to never run out of anything in the house again!!!!

Lena
(note from writer: No children were actually hurt in said stories...and i am exercising my creative freedom in the writing of this--no offense meant to be taken:-)
Lena has a fierce Streak in her! a jealous streak i may add...she adores other kids, but will not tolerate another kid upstaging her!!!
So i knew it was coming this morning when she flew off the couch in a flurry, with a look of rage in her eyes and began to vigorously hit the Television screen!!
The object of her furry was a 'pompous' toddler who was perched at his mini Piano clanking out notes while proudly singing his ABC's --One of Lena's special songs mind you!!
What can i say--I guess she just didn't like his attitude--I cant entirely blame her either..He was entirely too pleased with him self! and what the heck, lena can sing that song just as good--and doesn't even need a stupid piano to accompany her--:
But what i really could tell was that she was very Jealous of him--poor thing, I pitty the poor soul that ends up dating her...cant say i didnt warn you- there is no furry worse then the furry of a jealous scorpio women-ha!!
This happened another time when she was much younger at that--we were at the library and another little toddler sauntered in all dressed up with her little bracelet's-a purse and those coveted Sunglasses-heck i even think she was wearing gloves!!.This was really more than Lena could stomach.
Then the girl had the nerve to stand right next to Lena with out saying a word, and with no good reason to be that close to her. it was simply her way of saying "check me out little girl".."How cool am I"--Well she found out pretty quick that all Lena cared about was teaching her a good lesson In modesty!! with a swift whack aimed toward her decorated arm!!
I of course was very shocked at this sudden outburst from my usually loving,friendly,good natured child...But since then i have certainly seen a pattern!!...see Lena is just very insightful..and doesn't like proud superficial people..she can readm like a book and spot them a mile away--even if its in TV land. So watch out all you proud stinkin toddlers..
Snicker, snicker

I have decided!
So i have decided that i will still keep this blog open and try and write in it more often, i am aware that to most ppl it is a dead blog and no-one will navigate to my page any longer, but i decided that i really liked having all this info from the past few years--it is like my journal!
Esp things about the kids etc....and this really is the best place that i have for this kind of content...So, and if nothing else i can pull this up one day and maybe read some funny stories to my kids about there antics etc, how cool is that--you know how kids always love to hear stories about them selves...but you always end up drawing a giant blank!! Problem solved.
