Firecracker gets very excited about anything super hero related. I should have remembered this when I gave him his new Spider man underwear. He was absolutely thrilled and wanted to wear them under his clothes (obviously) to church last Wednesday night. I was totally cool with that.
Well, Thursday morning rolled around and Firecracker was still excited about his Spiderman underwear. He even told me while I was making breakfast, "yeah, Mommy, I even showed my friend my new underwear last night!" I stopped mid stride, my mouth agape. "What did you say, Firecracker? You showed your friend your underwear last night at church?!"
Firecracker looked at me like I was nuts before saying, "yeah, Mommy. My friend thought they were cool."
*Trying to keep a straight face* I replied, "ok, dude, I'm glad that your friend liked your new underwear, but it's not ok to pull your pants down and show people your underwear."
Firecracker just looked at me for a minute and then said, "ok, Mommy". And off he ran to play.
Oh the things I have to deal with that never crossed my mind when I was preggers with this little man! Gotta love him!
Have a great day!

All Done?
Sweet pea has started a new "trick". When she has decided she doesn't want to eat any more, because she'd rather go play, but she knows that because she hasn't eaten enough to be allowed to get up, she starts piling her food onto Firecracker's plate. Once her plate is "clean" she throws her arms in the air and says, "all done, Mommy" very excitedly.
She thinks she is so tricky. What she doesn't realize is that 1. I see her doing it, 2. I will bust her on this when I stop laughing about it.... One of these days.
Yes, I realize she is lying. And yes, I do plan on busting her on this the next time I see it. It just caught me off guard (neither time was I at the table when she did this. I just happened upon it as I re-entered the room).
Even though I know she is doing wrong, I still laugh about it in my head (I hold many conversations there. Most of them I find hysterical. I KNOW I'm crazy. I take meds for it ;).
Have a great day!

Embarrassment
Just when you think you've become immune to the embarrassment your children can cause you, they rise to the occasion. The children chose to say, "Challenge accepted, parents!"
Yesterday, it was Sweet Pea that accepted the challenge and hit new heights of embarrassment for her parents. We were at church, and I was signing her into the Nursery (they have each parent sign the child in and then they are assigned a pager and a # for being reached for emergency and security purposes). The Hubs, Firecracker and Sweet Pea were all out in the hallway that leads to the Nursery waiting for me to finish signing her in.
All the sudden there was an ear piercing siren going off. I looked back and Sweet Pea had somehow managed to reach the fire alarm! Not only was the alarm going off in the Nursery building it was also going off in the adjoining building too. UGH! So we walked out to find someone to help turn it off, and there are all these people outside trying to escape the "fire". I wanted to hide in a closet!!
Thankfully the people at our church are very forgiving, and they have great senses of humor. Everything turned out fine, the Fire dept. was called and told it was a mistake, and the alarm was turned off. And church went on as planned.
Oh, my children! I love them to bits! I hope they will never find a way to top this embarrassment, because this level is pretty high!
Have a great day!

5 Question Friday
Good morning, my friends! It's finally Friday!! It's been a long week and I'm looking forward to just hanging with the family this weekend with no particular plans.
Ok, on with the 5 question fun!
1. What is your best secret cleaning tip?
Ok, *in a hushed voice, leaning in really close* actually clean. I know! Shocking right?! Seriously, I don't know if I have an actual cleaning tip besides bleach. I LOVE bleach. I use it for just about everything that I can.
2. What is your favorite food to snack on during movie night?
Popcorn! Gotta love having a nice big bowl of popcorn, a kid, or Hubs to snuggle with and a good movie. Ahhh! perfection!
3. If it was up to you, what would you have named the royal baby?
I don't really care. I have never been one to get wrapped up in all the royal stuff. I mean when I was a teenager I fantasized that Prince William and I would get married and live happily ever after. With all that being said, I'd probably go with something classic like Michael, or Luke or Jimmy-John-Joe-Bob. You know something classic like that ;)
4. If you could be any Disney character who would you choose?
I'd probably go with Rapunzel. She's got a wicked swing with a frying pan, she charms people easily and she gets one rockin' birthday party every year! On the downside, brushing all that hair is kind of crazy.
5. What is the most important part of a healthy relationship?
Friendship. If you don't have friendship, you're building that relationship on sand, and when the first hard rain comes it will dissolve away. That and lots of sex. Just sayin'
Have a great weekend!

Giant Napkin
Firecracker never ceases to amaze me with the things he thinks up! He has started a new habit that is definitely not one of my favorites. When he is eating if he happens to get anything on his hands he promptly hops down from his seat and wipes his hands on the carpet!
Where does Firecracker come up with this stuff?! Of course I correct him and make him use a REAL napkin, but seriously where does he learn this? It's not like he has ever seen the Hubs or I do anything like this. The way these little people's minds work will never stop astounding me.
Have a great day!

Walks
I'm blessed to have good friends. I heard someone say once that if you have 5 true friends in your whole lifetime you are blessed. I can honestly say I'm amongst those that are truly blessed.
Anyway, one of my friends and I, Ms. S, used to walk/ run 3 miles 3 to 4 nights a week. We would chat and laugh and talk about our life's issues. It was cathartic.
Since I've gotten married and had 2 babies, and her life has gotten more hectic (she has 5 children), and we both moved further away from one another, our walks have become MUCH more sporadic. We walk maybe once a month. Talk about a major change!
Last night Ms. S and I went walking. It was so much fun! Once again we chatted, laughed and talked about how good God is to us. These nights always make me long for more often walks. We'll see....
Have a great day!

Cuddles
Firecracker is in this stage where when he wakes up in the morning he comes into my room, wakes me up and will get in the bed with me to cuddle for a few minutes. It really is one of my favorite parts of the day.
Some days he'll cuddle for half a minute, where there are other days when he'll cuddle with me for 10 minutes or more. I LOVE that he is willing to cuddle. Firecracker has never been a cuddler, so this change has been an awesome one.
I know that Firecracker is growing up super fast. I'm watching time fly past me way too quickly. So I'll enjoy these moments as long as I possibly can.
Have a great day!
