I know why santa brings us presents

Yesterday I was at Walmart getting the bare essentials with my children. As always Jereme began saying " I want this", " look it's Spiderman", " Can I get this mom". As usual my answer is no, but I added to it this time, "You just got all those presents for Christmas, I think you have quite enough". Ungratefully he added that he didn't receive a transformer game. " That's too bad, maybe we could take back all the stuff you did get and get the game instead, no"?. He agreed that would not be good. I continued shopping, grabbing detergent and then headed off to the pull aisle. "Mom, I know why Santa brings us presents", Jereme began saying really excited. "Why" I responded not expecting a reasonable answer. "Because, you and Daddy never get us what we really want, so Santa has to bring us the things we want because he knows you won't". I began to laugh and wanted to tell him the secret of who Santa really is, but in my better judgement decided to just laugh on.

My Way

Another work out brought to you by the Napoleon Boys. I tried to post this video with the other one, but it wouldn't work. I finally got it, this one is my favorite. Jereme reminds me of Michael Jackson doing the "thriller"!

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my moms birthday and I thought that every one should know. My mom is a wonderful lady, and at times can be extremely funny. Here are the top 10 things that my mom has done in her life, that make her "my mom".

1. She would always make us breakfast each morning.

2. Every morning, with out fail, she would try to get me out of bed.

3. Every morning, with out fail, she would sing "good morning to you", just to annoy me enough to make me want to get out of bed.

4. My mom has mastered the art of ignoring you when you nag her for something you just can't have.

5. Every day after school she would have homemade cookies, or Brownies waiting for us.

6. No matter how many times I messed up in life,and believe me it was quite a lot, my mom always loved me through it.

7. My mom put the wooden spoon factory out of business during our teenage years.

8. My mom made my bed everyday, which might account for my lack of it today.

9. I can quote nearly half of the jokes told in MASH movies, thanks to my mom.

10. Because of the example my mom set, I too am turning into a wonderful mom.


I love you mom, Happy Birthday

A Workout

Lately I have been trying to work out at home. I have a few Pilate's videos, and given that I have children, they are usually around when I am working out. Usually they just watch and try to get in the way of the particular exercise I am trying to do. The other week I was in the kitchen and heard my workout video playing. I went in to the living room to find the boys on their backs attempting to work out. They said they needed to exercise so they could eat all their food?! Since then, they try to work out at least once a day, sometimes more if they are bored. It is so funny to watch. Jereme is a step behind the tape, and Jordon just copies whatever Jereme does. At least they realize that working out is important, and you should start young! At some points in the video you can catch a glimpse of what the exercise is supposed to look like, and then the boys' interpretation.

Nursing

My boys love to play with various things, care bears being one of them. Usually they push them around in a dump truck, playing school and daddy's. They sometimes use them as bombs as well, throwing them at each other screaming your dead. Today, however, I am a little disturb after finding Jordon on the couch surrounded by care bears. I thought nothing of it at first, but the longer I looked at him I realized that he was not just holding his bear, but rather nursing it. Innocently he looked down and checked on it, making sure he was holding him in the right place. He smiled at it, and then returned to watching his movie, all the while still nursing. I don't know what is worse, him wanting to nurse, or wanting to be naked all the time.
