Trials and observations from a stay at home mom...during a snowstorm!

My 4 year old can change the toilet paper roll...my 35 year old husband cannot.  

The last two times we've been out to dinner, I've ordered food that I could easily eat with one hand in case the baby got fussy.  

I love my kids...but my favorite time of day us still bedtime.

Going out to eat with 4 kids is NOT a good idea after being cooped up in the house for 4 days.  

My 10 year old son thinks that getting his hands dirty is 'unbiblical.'  Yes, that was his exact word!  

Looked an entire day for the remote and found it in the refrigerator.

I just wasted 1 hour of my night watching an infomercial about a Hurricane spin mop and I want one.  Lord, I have turned into my mother!

I was getting ready to put on my tennis shoes and noticed that one of them didn't have any shoelaces.  My husband looked at me like he knew the reason. Then I remembered that the dog had chewed up one of his shoelaces.  I guess stealing one if mine was easier than going to the store and buying a new pair.

My 7 year old just asked the dog to marry him.  Then he answered 'no thanks' for her.

When I drink decaf coffee I get a funky film on my tongue.

I can drink water all day long and still be thirsty.  Its 10:00 right now and i just realized I haven't peed all day!  Just how big is my bladder?  

I just ordered some bobby pins on amazon.  A blogger I like called them 'a game changer.'  And just think, I've been buying my bobby pins at CVS all these years.  

I asked adri to scratch my back and she lifted my shirt and unfastened my bra!  Do girls just automatically know how to do this?  

Being trapped inside the house with my kids is like a blessed curse.  It's been fabulous not having to go anywhere, but man, I miss our routine!  

Gabe discovered that the pizza lunchables are not meant to be microwaved.  I have a melted plate, a brown spot in the microwave and a smoky kitchen to prove it.  

We just finished our 3rd week of Christmas break. I NEED my routine back, please!!!

Adri asked why piper always smelled her bottom and Nate said, "she's like Gabe.  She likes the smell of poop."  I hope Nate doesn't tell Gabe's friends that someday!  

Watching the Zac brown band video 'sweet Annie' and adri says, that's what kind of wedding I want to have.  I like the that it's outside.  But instead of that boy that looks like a girl, I'm gonna marry my daddy.  

I thought my dog would no longer drink out of the toilet, but after cleaning it with Ty D Bowl, I realized she still does it.  Her blue lips prove it!  


If you look close enough at her lemonade stand sign, there is a drawing of two dogs with lines through them.  She said, "I don't serve dogs."  I'm not sure piper understands the sign!  

Now, let's have a shout out to melted snow, roads that are travelable, and the return of routine!!!

Snowed in!!!

We have spent the last two days hanging by the fire, watching movies, baking bread, cookies and homemade pizza.  I'm a little stir crazy, but am enjoying this extra time with my family.  




Yes, she's on the counter...don't turn me in to CPS!

Belated Christmas

Merry Christmas!  Here are some pics from our holidays :).  

Martin family nieces and nephews outting (we were missing 10 or so).  

Making candies for Nana.




Seeing Santa at our scout party.


Got my hair straightened by the stunning Ashley Sink...in my own house!  Love ya, Ash!!!

Singing in church.

A special visit from Santa on Christmas Eve.







Miss Abi's first Christmas morn!




Matt got one of those doorbell things that you put at the end of your driveway.  It dings when someone pulls in...or the kids go out in the street :)



The best Christmas gift of all time...Matt sure knows how to make my heart go pitter patter :).   

We had a great end of the year and finished off 2013 with great friends.  Of course I didn't take any pics except of Amanda P.  And I promised I wouldn't post her darling face on Facebook or online.  

I'm taking a leave from Facebook...it easily becomes addictive and because I have little interaction with other adults during the day, I cling to it like a crutch.  And let's be honest, it's not all good stuff!  I can do without for a while...I didn't give up Pinterest :).  
Happy new year!
