Poop+Stink=Slumber Party

So I betcha didn't know that...did you? Well last night at bedtime we had some chaos and 1 upset child. :( It was bedtime, we put Cutter down first. (He still sleeps in a pull up so he usually uses this time to poop.) We like to give him his privacy. :) ANYWAY...I am up helping Collin and hear Cutter yelling for me to come change him...I say hold on...then I go in after a few minutes...Cutter is saying change me with his butt up in the air like a tee pee and I am thinking what the heck? SO...it turns out it was too big for his pull up, some how leaked out, and he was trying to not get in it. HILARIOUS (his position) but I felt bad that I totally was making him hold this position the entire time I am shooing him off for Collin. He then got totally upset that he had poop in his bed (let me say it was like nothing major...tiny drops if you will) and Collin came to pull him down out of the top bunk (still in tee pee position) and the tears would not stop because of the poop in his bed! Cutter then crying and crying says, "I have to sleep in your bed because there's poop in my bed!" Well of course you do!!! :)

**sidenote** we totally let our kids sleep in our bed, I LOVE IT, I mean how long are they going to want to snuggle up with you?! So more power to him!!! Needless to say....here he is...


Now, Cutter usually is the one who is in our bed, Collin likes to ask why he always does and Christian doesn't...yadda yadda yadda...so during all this chaos Christian is watching his show in our bed. SO instead of kicking him out so Cutter can go to bed...let's just move Christian's bed in and have a big slumber party!!! WOO HOO!!! I also couldn't make him sleep in their room because it was sooooo stinky!!! So that's what we did (slumber party) and here's what we found at the foot of our bed at almost 10 o'clock....when we came to check on them.

Our little stinker not sleeping and happy as can be!!!

Not much sleep happened for the parents but these are the moments we'll wish we had instead of a good night's sleep! Well....maybe....

Daddy's Turn!

Today was Collin's turn in Pre-K for the "job talk". I think he was afraid he wasn't going to be as cool as his brother, the pilot, but he did great! I think it helped that he had some cool products to show off and pass around. He even let the kids shoot some of the staples. FUN! The funniest part is that the yellow thing in his hand represents a stomach but when he cut it for a demo the kids said he cut the fish! You can't tell but it doesn't look anything like a fish!!! Too funny!!!

And here's Cutter...too cool for school...just chilaxing watching his daddy in style!

GOOD JOB COLLIN!!!

OH...Say it Ain't So!!!

Well, well, the time has come to throw in the towel and face the fact that naptime is officially over for Cutter. :( This week he has yet to fall asleep after "resting" for at least an hour. Today was the test because he got up early, so I thought for sure he was going to take a killer nap. UH, NOPE! So let this be my "aha" moment and realize my 4 year old is growing up and not a baby! So sad...BUT...we've had a good run...almost 4 1/2 years...so I can't complain.

Cutter you were an excellent sleeper and now we'll have some quality quiet time together!

Another busy day....

THANK YOU UNCLE CHRIS!!! Today was a fun day at school for Cutter. They are talking about communities and families this month, and his teacher opened it up for people to come in and talk about their jobs. Well, Collin is going to go in, but I took full advantage of my brother in law, the pilot, and got him to come be a part of the PRE-K fun!!! He was great and he even brought wings and airplane cards to share with all the kiddos. It was a good time and we thank Uncle Chris for driving the drive for us!!! THANK YOU!!!


Afterwards, we got to go to lunch with Paige and her daughter, Elle, who so generously took care of Christian while we were at school with Cutter. She says he is good...I find it a bit shocking...but maybe being with a girl makes him a little bit more tame. :) I hear Elle does most of the watching...good job Elle...you keep him in line!

Next, on our agenda was a trip to the Dr. for flu shots. Seriously, I must be way to into my blogging because who takes pics of their kids crying in the dr. office instead of consoling them!!! I DO!!! Good thing my other half was there or they would be left to fend for themselves, so I can be sure to get the right pic to capture the moment.

Christian good....Cutter...not so good!!!

The payoff...ICE CREAM!!!

Tomorrow, I think we'll just hang out.

My handsome boy!!!

So it was our first picture day and I had to capture the moment myself! Not to worry the straws will not be in the school pic, even though I am sure Cutter would like them to be! Isn't he cute?!

GAME DAY #2 SHOCKER!!!

Oh my goodness!!! Who would have ever thought that the Kennedy's...well Collin Kennedy...would miss an ASU game willingly!!?? NOT ME...and that's exactly what happened this weekend! Collin decided he wanted to stay home and watch the game!!! Seriously, I use so many exclamation points because I still can't freakin' believe it! Soooo, what do you do when you stay at home? Well, of course you order lots of yummy food...

And you do your best to teach your 2 year old how to
make the ASU pitchfork with his fingers...

It must have worked because we (ASU) totally crushed the competition!!!

ASU 2-0

Mommy make-up day!

So, I assume I am not the only mom who has bad mommy days...if I am...then what's your secret?! Yesterday was not one of my better days as a mom, so today it's "make up" day for my kids. I decided I would find some fun activity for us to do. Cutter had a half day so that made things very schedule friendly! What did I choose??? Surprisingly, I chose an activity that had the potential to be a disaster and a mess!!! Voila.....


This is probably shocking to most because it's messy, I am alone with 2 boys and have to be alert at all times! It definitely does not fit my "mellow" activity persona, the one you know that doesn't like to do something that will be too much work! However, like I said it was my "make up" to the boys for being a butthead and I needed to make them love me again! I was willing to do ANYTHING!!! So here we are...AND...it was very easy and FUN!

The boys did an excellent job staying seated and really seemed to like painting!!!
(I did make sure I put them in clothes I wouldn't care about being ruined.)

If this is the biggest mess I had to deal with then WOO HOO!!!

BAM!!! The finished product....

Saturday can not come soon enough to see them all shiny and finished!!!

Sorry Cutter and Christian for being a mommie dearest yesterday...
I LOVE YOU!!!
