Munchkin Monday

I have decided to start calling J-Munchkin and T-Mr. T in my blog. I realized that just putting their first initial is sometimes a bit confusing. I call him Munchkin all the time so it is only fitting. do I call him Mr. T...no, but it works for here!

We are getting more snow tonight! YUCK! I am soooooo sick of this winter. The fact that we may not have any relief for another month makes me crabby! I guess we really have been spoiled these last few years with mild weather.

The amaryllis is now 11 5/8 inches. That is 2 inches in a week! I have no idea when this thing is going to open or how tall it will get. Munchkin is getting impatient. He really wants to see the flowers. This kid really loves flowers and gardening. I bought him a whole kit for his birthday coming up in May. It has a snake/bug theme. I got the garden shovel/rake and gloves, cool lizard sprinkling can and bucket. He wanted to help me a lot last year. Of course this year he will probably not care! I tried to find the link at Target.com, but I am sorry, searching that site sucks! It is horrible. I can never find anything I am looking for at target.com.

I found out today that one of my best friends is PG with her 4th!!!! (OMG!) It was a total surprise to them! She said it happened the night of our Christmas dinner! (can you say too much to drink?) ROFL! We tried to get them to stay over that night because of the snow storm. Anyways...I am happy for them and wanted to shout out a big CONGRATS!!!!

What else is going on with me?? Nothing! Mr. T has really not been home. The business just released a new product so he has been working non stop from that. He took off a few days last week but was only home in until lunch then gone for the rest of the day and night. It has not been fun. Adds to my crabbiness. Munchkin misses his daddy. Plus because he hasn't been around we have been eating horribly. Munchkin was getting a bit better at trying things but I haven't even been cooking. I know I should be trying but why cook for me and him if he isn't going to eat it. I am in a rut!

Munchkin got the cutest haircut yesterday. I was going to take a picture of him today since no one has seen one lately, but Mr. T took the camera. Figures!

Honk Honk

So most 3 year old boys get curious about breasts...OK lets just call them boobs. Last summer he was really into them and was always touching them. He would press on them and say honk, honk, honk, honk. As bad as it was..it was funny! But then with the 12 yr old neighbor girl who has a decent pair on her...not so funny! Luckily I had given her a head up on it. Not his shining moment! By the fall he had gotten away from it. He only does it once in a while now, I am assuming just to get a reaction out of me.

Which brings me to Wed. If any of you happened to see Ellen you would have seen this...


If you live in a box and don't know that is Christina Aguilera and she just had a baby....yes she is breast feeding. Can you believe the size of those things? Also, why wear a top like that...please! I do just have to share the conversation....

“Are you nursing?” Ellen jokingly asked.
“I guess it’s a little obvious,” Christina laughed, as she looked down.
“It’s gonna be a healthy boy!” Ellen said.

ROFL


Anyway...on to my story... I was at my moms. She had turned a show on for J. When we were getting ready to leave he wouldn't pay attention to so I turned the TV to channel 5. Ellen was on and I looked up and said without thinking " holy boobs, mom you have got to come see these!" J giggled and said boobies! Like any kid would. So I go to the bathroom, come out and he is up at the TV. There is a close up of her like the one in the picture above and he has a hand on each one saying "honk, honk, honk, honk" Well I almost peed my pants. To see my son "honkin" a pair on the TV. Well now I thought I had seen it all. My mom was laughing so hard. Not a proud Mom moment!

Nothing Tuesday

Well I don't know what I have been busy doing? Trying to stay warm I guess. It is so flippin cold here!!! Although Sun got up to 51 degrees, melt all the snow and lots of rain only to drop into the freezing single digits. Now everything is ice and it is so windy making it just TOO COLD!!! This winter sucks. T keeps asking why we live in this place.

Sunday was our 12th wedding anniversary. T wasn't even here. He went to a trade show in Indianapolis.

J had a playdate with a boy from preschool today. We have been trying to get together for the last month, but everyone has been sick. This week they are finally all healthy but they got water in their basement so their house was a wreak. We ended up at McDonalds just so the boys could play. We couldn't dissapoint them anymore.

Also I know you were all just waiting for the results of the amaryllis that I was suppose to post on Sat. It is measuring at 9 5/8" I had to adjust the bulb a bit as the water in it was getting a bit stinky. It is just a bulb siting in water with a few rocks. No dirt. It was getting that fish tank smell.

The Monkey Story

So at dinner tonight Jack cracks a fart (such a boy!) so I said "you are such a monkey" This is the response I got....

"hey, don't call me that. I am not a monkey. Monkeys have tails. I don't have a tail. Monkey's use their tail to hang from trees. Does it look like I can hang from a tree? (I answer no) Trees can't grow in the house, silly. They are a plant and belong outside mommy. Trees get super tall (lifting arm in air showing me tall). They have the pointy things (he is making hand gestures of a pointy thing) that the leaves come out of when they grow. Some are big trees and some trees are little. Most branches are straight but some have branches that cruve like this (again making a jesture) I just listened in awe and shook my head. I didn't dare interrupt him, he was on a role. It is times like this you wish you could grab a video but know that getting up would ruin the moment. I love it when he rambles on with a story.

How many Colors

Stolen from Cassie

23

I drew a complete blank. But then after I looked at the crazy list of colors I wouldn't have even come up with most of those. Some I was spelling wrong to they didn't accept them..like fushia (spelled Fuchsia)

Happy Valentines Day

Hope you all have a day filled with love and laughter!
J has a little party at school today. I am sure he is going to come home with a back pack full of crap! What ever happened to just the paper valentines that you give out. Now everything is a treat bad that we all spend to much money on and most of the stuff gets thrown away. With that said...yes I did do treat bags! LOL I didn't do one at halloween and was shocked to see so many from the kids. I really did keep it down though. Just a sucker, two chocolates and a small glitter pen. I always think that it is a great project for us to sort them and count them and put them together. I was wrong. I guess it is a boy thing. Or maybe becuase it was all hearts and pink. He just wasn't interested in helping. Then we also decorated some heart cookies yesterday...again would have rathered played computer games. I can't wait for a girl who will hopefully be more into these things.
Tom and I went out to dinner last night for our anniversary. It is Sunday, but he will be in Indianapolis at a trade show. We will be married 12 years. OMG!!!! We went to the restaurant that we ate at the night we got engaged. It was yummy!
Update on the amarylis. It is now 6 3/4 inches high. That thing is growing like crazy! It is however starting to get a little stinky. It is just a bulb in a pot with a few small stones. So it is a bit stagnet. PU

J has a friend over today to play. I am on the computer and they are playing in the other room. Then I hear.

J - hey guess what?
Friend- what?
J - I love you
F- I love you too J.

Then I asked "did you just tell him you loved him?" J said yes and his friend said "he is my bestest friend in the whole world."

Isn't that just the cutest??? I taught my boy well. He probably tells me at least 5 times a day he loves me. You can't say it to them enough. J's favorite thing to do, besides trains, is snuggle. I call him my little snugglebug or my squishy.
