out loud thoughts

Once again - I have another one....


Our neighbor's "help" (aka nanny... but she refers to herself as the "help") was sitting outside our window this afternoon.  Hudson heard the baby crying outside and hurried himself over to see who it was.  He lifted the blinds right on up over his head and announced his presence.

"HELLOOOOO"

which she replied with a friendly hello.  

He then started acting goofy and saying words like "bum-bum" to which I hurried myself over to try and make conversation so she wouldn't hear everything he was saying.  

As I was talking with Leah, our helper neighbor, Hudson would pipe in every once in a while just to remind us he was still there.  Finally he had enough and screeched out, "Mom!  MOM!  she is a black car.  BLACK CAR BLACK CAR!

Now, I know that is not the worst thing.  But... considering that she is black... you never know how the wind was going to blow on that one.  I just laughed, kind of, and quickly switched conversation.   Not sure if she really heard or if she went away thinking that my child was a WILD child saying all the wrong things.  But then again he is a kid... and really he had no idea what he was saying, I am surprised he got "black" in there... since he didn't even recognize the color of her skin. (hoping.) Goodness.  I am sure there is worse to come.  But it was a first in this situation for me. 

Good times Good times

Heaven Help Me!

Went to Enrichment 
(this is when ladies from the LDS church come together, quarterly, to visit, eat, eat, eat, 
listen to lessons and sometimes we even do activities
last night.

Had a great lesson/talk on Budgeting.  Some great ideas.

Got excited to try some new "ideas" out to save money.  

Saw this today....


(cardigan over this wouldn't "ruin" it, would it?)




Hoping to put those good ideas on "saving" to use - tomorrow.

eyes shut



Funny one again...

I went in to help Hudson with "number two"... seeing that he tends to not complete the "event" at times.  (wipe)  

He gets a little flustered when I enter and I have to assure him, always, that I am not going to look at his "work".  I kneel down right in front of him and sort of talk to him a bit while he is finishing up; but the other night he looked at me (once kneeling down) and told me not to look at his poop.  He then sighed and said:

"Come on mom, don't look"

Which was followed by both his little hands lifting off the toilet (nice and clean, I know... actually at least I know it was pretty clean - I clean them- the toilets), and placed them on my eyes.

He balanced himself and held his hands on my eyes.  

I just sat there laughing, he looks a lot like his daddy... but he acts a lot like me.  I hate people being in the restroom with me while I go to the bathroom... anytime.  

I know, gross entry - but it was pretty funny.

Here ya go folks... go to the side of my blog and push on this logo (which my fantastic sister Aarean did for me... if interested in her work... go here)... 


That is if you want to look at my up and coming, fast pace and lively life (it actually is lively, ha.).  

Please no pressure... it really isn't anything but pictures of us.  And you all know how exciting that is.

You can press here for blog site as well.

smothering

The other day I was in the grocery store with this one....

         ...while pushing her in the cart, and her talking/giggling and looking like the goddess she is, I noticed that I kiss her A LOT.  

Every time she would open her mouth to talk to me I stole a kiss. 

But really, can you blame me?  

It took me about twice as long to get the food I needed for the upcoming week, I could/can't help myself.
Then when pulling up to check out, I noticed a woman staring at her (and her gold shoes... I will post those later.) and I realized that this woman probably had a nice shot of me practically licking my child's face the whole time I was there... well half the time... and I started to wonder if people might think that I am way overboard?  (Probably am... with kissing her.)  


So -I am admitting to it - I have a problem kissing the child.

And I don't really care what people think, even the grocery lady.  

R is just too yummy.


straws


This morning was huge for Reagan... she has FINALLY done it!  


She has sucked out of her straw sippy cup!!  

I am so happy.  

This is going to make breaking the bottle so much more easy.

Pictures galore

Does some one want to come and download all my pictures for me??  Come one... you know you want to waste a couple hours (or day) sitting at my computer. 


This I am afraid is becoming a huge job!  

I need to learn to limit myself in taking pictures.

I am so serious.

burp

Last night as I was eating dinner with Hudson.  He started to act a little silly.  Silly as in... tired? understanding comedy?  Trying to be a little comedic?  I don't know... just silly.


After singing some kind of song in gibberish he announced to myself and Reagan that he just had burped out of his bum.  

I asked him what he said (trying to think that I imagined it) to which he replied:

 "Moooom... I burped out of my bum", and then started laughing like it was the funniest thing ever... which to my horror it was.  

What a man.

Stickers


The other day I took H. over to a near by "path" to ride his bike while I tried hard to run after him.  I have to get creative sometime... to get my exercise on.    This was the following conversation:


m:    Hudson.  Hudson.  Hudson! you need to watch where you are going.  
          (I am running behind him while pushing R.)  

         Hudsonnnnnn.  

All the while his eyes are glued to these two women (Indian women) walking up.  One of which is in regular clothing, the other older woman is wearing a Indian Saree.  While he is so politely staring, he is starting to go off the path.  (He doesn't understand that where you look is where the bike usually goes... he will learn.)   I finally caught up with him and told him not to just stare but to say hello.  He completely ignored me. Completely.

Oh well I thought; about him staring.

Then I heard this -

H.:     Mom.   Mom, why does that woman have a sticker on her head?!  There is a sticker      
           RIGHT here (as he pointed to the center of his forehead)!!


It caught me by surprise, and I honestly didn't know what to say... because really it does look like a sticker.  And for all he knows the woman was playing with stickers earlier and forgot she had placed one on her forehead. I totally get it.  And I love it.  I love the configuration of his thoughts and how things don't make sense... and how he tried to make sense of things.  

Such joy.  Such joy.

(By the way...If you ever have anything in your teeth - or on your forehead- 
and are with H., don't worry he will let you know; or just stare. 
Either way, you will get the hint - don't worry.)
