Break Down Averted

This morning I told Sean I was seconds away from having a nervous breakdown. Brady has gone back to waking up every 2 hours at night for the last month and I am exhausted!
Being the good husband that he is, he decided to lighten the mood a bit. He started playing/wrestling with the kids. We were laughing pretty hard at some of the things that were said.

Sean took Bethanie's precious bear, Dah, and was holding him ransom. Bethanie said, "No! Take me instead!"
Now that's unselfish love for a bear. :)

Sadie kept telling Sean it was her "sponsibility" to take care of this situation. Finally, Sean asked her what sponsibility meant. She looked right at him and said,
"Sponsibility means that everyone is better than you!"

Sean must be quite famous if they made a whole word to describe where he stands in this life. :)

There was a lot of tickling, a lot of giggling, and a lot of smiles.
Now how do I get this kid to SLEEP??!!

It's Time For Animaniacs!

I guess I never matured past the age of 14. Ok, maybe I made it to 15.
I still look back fondly at my time spent on the couch after school with my brother, Shaun, and my sister, Kimberly. Chad and Jeffrey would be sitting inches from the television. (We would yell at them every 15 seconds to move.)
We would sit and laugh at Animaniacs. (Click on word for fun video!)

That is why I couldn't help but buy the 5 disc dvd compilation when I walked past it the other day at Costco. My kids and I have been having fun giggling at the one liners for the last couple of days. (The ones that they understand. )

Yes, I still enjoy a good cartoon!

High Centered

Brady wants the remote control so much... but can't seem to figure out how to get to it. lol

1/2 the Calories!

Sadie:
Mom, Did you know that the water that comes out of the refrigerator and the "fresh water" (aka. Ice Mountain Water Dispenser) is diet water?
Yep. I have been drinking diet water. I am on a diet!

Showing Off My Muscles

This morning Sadie and I took a little trip down to our food storage room in the basement to retrieve a new jar of peanut butter.

Sadie: Mom, can you hold this peanut butter? It is REALLY heavy.
I took the peanut butter.
Sadie: WHOA! MOM! You are SOOOO STRONG! That is a really heavy jar of peanut butter! Wow! You are almost as strong as daddy! I can't believe it!

(It was a 3 lb jar of peanut butter. Those are pretty big. ;) )

Pictures

Sadie took a few pictures yesterday for me;




Ok, I took the last one. Bethanie set up the shot though. ;)

Give, Oh Give, Give, Oh Give!

This is the song that Sadie was singing at the dinner table.

"Give Sadie a little bit of ice cream, give oh give, give oh give. Give Sadie a little bit of ice cream, cause I ate some soup so give... me some ice cream!"

That was to the tune of "Give, Said the Little Stream", in case anyone was unsure.
