The Sponage Bob Story

I have always let my kiddos watch Sponge Bob you can judge me all you want & think I'm a horrible mom but I think Sponge Bob is so funny & just sweet. Just in the last couple of weeks I have noticed Sponge Bob has changed becoming a bit negative & always saying "hate" and "butt". I also noticed Carter using the word hate & butt a lot so I warned Carter that if he kept using naughty words he wouldn't get to watch Sponge Bob anymore. Well Sunday night driving home from Paige & Rex's house he was banned from watching Sponge Bob. Carter was not very happy with me and kept saying why I love Sponge Bob?
When we got home the kids were getting ready for bed I asked Kelsey to go check on Carter. Kelsey came back laughing and said mom Carter wrote a letter to Sponge Bob & Patrick & you have to read it! So, Carter came in and we had him read it to us.

This is how it went...

Dear Sponge Bob & Patrick-
I love you and love watching you. I hope you don't get mad but I can't watch you anymore. My mom said I can't watch you anymore. I'm sorry!
Love, Carter

Carter has been good too he will even come & tell me if Sponge Bob is coming up next:)
I sometimes think this kid thinks he lives in the cartoons he watches. Love that kiddos!!!
Oh and the picture above has nothing to do with the story, I just like it! Kennedi wanted me to take because she wanted to see how long her hair is getting.

This Little Guy!

This guy sure makes me laugh but also oh no he's only 4!!! Okay so about a month ago Carter & Cody were in the bath tub goofing around like always. I was getting up to tell them to stop when I heard a huge bang and then screaming. I get in there and there is blood everywhere! Carter had slipped & hit his head on the side of the tub. I was just grateful Mike was there because I'm not good when it comes to blood. Carter just kept saying "what is happening"? "why there blood"? (He hits his big head a lot).

While Mike was driving him to get stitches Carter said " I sure hope my girlfriend doesn't freak out " Leave it up to Carter to be worried about his girlfriend. He was so brave the whole time and only said Ouch a few times. The doctor even kept saying wow he is a really tough boy!

Two weeks later Kelsey is giving Kennedi a piggy back ride & then throws her on the couch. Kennedi hits the corner of the end table & splits her head open. Once again so happy Mike was home. We both took her this time & our sweet new neighbors took the rest of our kiddos. Kennedi was not as brave but she got through it and I was very proud of her.

So, they say things come in threes right? Back to Carter, Last Monday I was doing hair at Paige's when I was done I had asked Paige to put some foils in my hair. while I was waiting for the color to process I realized Kennedi had dance. I quickly grab the kids and yes I still had foils in my hair. Carter had his shoes in his arms & went to get in the van. He slipped & hit his head on the curb! I pick him up once again blood a lot of blood!!! I run him inside & Paige quickly calls Mike. She was so funny to listen to "Mike what do we do"? He just happened to be at the Barnes & Noble down the street & was there in 5 minutes. After everything Carter ended up not getting stitches, it was more smashed then cut. Hopefully we will not be seeing any blood anytime soon!

*The picture is when Carter was dressed like a secret spy!

Lovin' the clearance rack!

Cara and I went to Blissfest in downtown Mesa it was a fun afternoon with a great friend! After I dropped her off I still had an hour to spare or my kiddos would have been so upset if I came home early! They loooooove Macy our babysitter. I went over to Target and scored on a lot of Halloween costumes. Everything was 90% off- The most I paid for something was $2.49 and the lowest was 13 cents!!! The thing is even if they end up not wearing them for next year my kids love to dress up even the older ones. Also I could not leave with out buying these. How cute is that, I'm always calling my kiddos my little chickadees! I love Target!!

Oh and when I got home the kids were putting on a play with Macy & the little ones kept asking me why I was home. As much as that should make me sad it didn't because I love that my kiddos have so much fun when I can't be home & it makes leaving them so much easier.

Halloween 2009

We had a lot of fun Halloween parties this year. First was our ward (part of our church) trunk or treat. October was such a busy month for me and I should take a picture of my calendar. We all were looking forward to the ward party & I had everyone ready early & we were just waiting around until 7pm. We pull into the church parking lot and people are leaving! Well I had the time all wrong & the party started at 5:30 not 7!!! Thanks to friends that were still there and loaded up the twins bags with candy. That's all they really cared about now Cody & Kelsey was a different story! They were so disappointed & sad. Nothing seemed to make it better not even ice cream!!

Tuesday night we went to the Clarkson's family party and the kiddos had a blast!! Played with cousins and friends and also made new friends. How a ton of fun on the BIG slide, trick or treating, pizza & lots of fun games.

Thursday night we went to Emily & Randall's house for another fun night! It was fun to see all the fun costumes. My mom & dad won a prize for their couple costume, my kids had no idea who Fred & Wilma Flintstone was?! We had yummy food & lots of fun! After all the parties & school activities the kids were done by Halloween night. They had fun at Cara & Tom's house for more Halloween fun & lots of fun hanging out with cousins at Paige & Rex's house. When did Halloween get to be such a busy holiday!? I love it but man oh man-very busy!!!

Rockstar Party!

Tatum turned 8 and she had a Rockstar party! We started with hair and make-up and then in the limo for dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. We got a lot of looks! And the girls had so much fun. Then we headed to Sugar Bowl for ice cream and cake, games & gifts:) The plan was to party then drop the girls off and us mamas were going to go have some more fun. Well I guess these mamas are getting too old to party like “real” Rockstars. We were so pooped out! It was a fun night & I think Tatum had a blast!!! And, I’m sure Paige is happy it’s over.
