Daily Life....

• I Love to watch Cannon as he crawls around with two pacifiers - one in his mouth and one in his hand! Every few minutes he will stop and switch them!

• I don't like buzz haircuts on little boys... I don't know why but I just don't! Needless to say my children have never had them! But, for some INSANE reason (probably because In all honesty I messed up pretty good on McKay's haircut!) I let him talk me into buzzing his hair.... He then went to school the next day and when his teacher commented on his haircut he told her "My Mom had to cut it short like this because I had bugs hibernating in my hair"! Needless to say they had someone come in and check the little bugger for Lice...

• Carter has a little problem with his digestive system... and as I have mentioned he is very motivated by money! So, he gets paid a quarter for every prune he eats! Needless to say I had to hide the prunes!

• Cannon LOVES my cell phone... Whenever he sees me on it he crawls over to me and wants it - as soon as I put it down and won't give it to him he has a little melt down! I have been known to give it to him while I am running errands to keep him entertained! However, last week he speed dialed my parents and they got to hear a melt down I was having at the DI with McKay and Carter as they were jumping on the demo beds... My parents thought it was very entertaining! Needless to say Cannon doesn't get my phone anymore!

• I am missing a box.... A very important box.... I KNOW that it is somewhere out in the garage where all of our stuff is stored right now.... I have skimmed over them to see if I can find it - But, it is in the back in the corner somewhere.... Why is this box SOOOOOO IMPORTANT??? Because it has all of my jeans, dresses & dress shoes in it.... THAT'S WHY!!! So, I have been surviving on two pair of jeans and a black skirt and one pair of black heals......

• McKay came down the stairs today ready for school smelling VERY ripe! He had sprayed my perfume and James' cologne on! I felt for the kids that had to sit at his table at school!

• I'm Grateful for a husband that doesn't believe in our kids sleeping on our floor when they come in in the middle of the night - he doesn't think it is fair for them! So, instead I go many nights and find him sleeping on their floor!!! What a good Dad!

• We watched the movie Forever Strong the other night with the boys & Wayne & Becky (James' parents)- Wayne had really been wanting us to see it and said it was safe for the boys to see... It is a VERY good movie! I highly recommend it! However, there is a part in the movie where a man asks a kid for the password to let him in the building - the kid is mad and flips him off... So, I hear McKay ask Becky for the password yesterday.... I went running out to stop him - but, got there just in time to see her almost pass out because he was flipping her off....... The Kid doesn't even know what it means! But, those sure are the things that they catch onto....

• Carter is down to one pair of jeans... He told me that he hid them so that he wouldn't lose them... However now neither he or I can find them...

• Cannon finished his last canister of baby formula today... It always makes me a little sad when they hit those milestones that mean they are growing up! I remember being sad with McKay and Carter when they were finally old enough to be off formula! You would think that I would be happy that I don't have to pay for it anymore... Instead I start to think of all the crazy fertility treatments that I might have to go through again to get another baby here... Cannon is still in his rear facing car seat because I can't bring myself to take him out of it - another milestone that is difficult!

• Carter is doing VERY Well in Sunbeams - a lot better than we all thought he would! He was a little miffed that he didn't get to play with toys and have treats anymore! AND he does have to sit by McKay during opening exercises... But, all in all he is doing pretty good!

• I noticed that McKay was getting a little sloppy with writing his name at school... I can tell he is in a hurry and isn't doing his best. So, I told him that when he came home I was going to look at his school work everyday and check his name - If he wrote it sloppy he would have to write his name for me 25 times!!! Today was the first time he had to write his name for me! We always do his homework right after lunch and he has a form that I have to sign each day. Today he looked at my signature and said "Mom, I'm the smartest kid in my class and I can't even read your name... you owe me 25"! Needless to say I wrote my name 25 times too!

• Cannon LOVES cheerios... When you put them on his highchair he grabs at them like there are a hundred other kids there trying to steal his food!!! He gets his little hands as full of them as he can and then he eats them one by one. When he has had enough of sitting in his high chair he fills his hands back up and after I let him down he crawls around on his knuckles and will stop every little while and eat a cheerio that he has saved in his hand!

• McKay has his follow up appointment tomorrow with the ear specialist... He was complaining of some ear pain and we took him in to have them tell us the inside of his ear is shaped wrong... He said that usually they catch on to this a lot sooner because children start falling behind in school because they can't hear well. But, McKay has always done very well & never struggled. However, it would explain why he has always talked really loud! I felt bad for all the times I told him I was going to get his ears checked because he was talking too loud! They'll tell us tomorrow if he has to have surgery...

• Tomorrow morning is the morning that all the Wall's get on the computer and go like crazy to get camping spots at Redfish Lake! We've been on the phone back and forth for the last week setting out strategy! I seriously have little butterflies in my stomach!

• Since I cut Carter's hair he hasn't looked at himself once in the mirror or even combed his hair! He is truly a happy little man without his curls...

These are just a couple little happenings in my daily life right now that I needed to write down. If I don't they seem to get lost in my mind so quickly...
