After Bedtime Thoughts

After a bedtime prayer that I said in Dylan's room where I asked for him to get well soon -

Dylan: "Doctors do it."

Me: "They do what? Oh, they make you better?"

Dylan: "Yes, Jesus doesn't do that."

Me: "Well he can. He and God can do lots of things. All you have to do is pray. If you are afraid or sick, Jesus can help you."

Dylan: "Mommy, how do we get Jesus to come down from Heaven and make me better?"

Me: "Well, Jesus can do that from Heaven. He and God don't have to come down. They are Jesus and God."

Thankfully, the conversation ended here. I felt I was getting in over my head. ha!

Another Funny (at least to me)

Dylan finds a mini saltine in the grass at lunch leftover from yesterday's snack outside. He picks it up and here's the conversation.

Kristen: "Don't eat that. Its dirty and could have bugs on it."

Dylan (as he puts it in his mouth and pauses before chewing) : "I don't feel any bugs on it."

Am I raising dogs?

We are semi-potty training Logan or we could say he is trying to potty train himself. Today when he got up from nap Logan wanted to wear underwear. I said okay and put them on him. We go out into the backyard where Dylan and Daddy are and within 5 minutes Logan notifies us that his pants are wet as he walks akwardly towards us soaked

Dylan tells Logan, "Logan, if you tell Mommy and Daddy you have to go tinkle, they will let you go in the backyard."

??????? (followed by Greg and I's laughter)

I can only remember once when I let Dylan discreetly go by the side fence because he was covered in water and sand and I didn't want that mess in the house. Somehow that translated into a regular senario in his mind...

Flylady

So this lady in my MOM group went on and on about this website and cleaning/lifestyle change. I thought she was crazy, but I really like it and it helped me. Of course, now I'm doing this constantly and I think I might really dig it. We'll see if it transfers until after we sell and don't have to "live in a fishbowl" as my friend, Casie, put it.

p.s. Don't sign up for any of the email updates. They totally flood your inbox and to me don't help at all. A little too much overstimulation.

Moving Again?

For those of you who didn't know we are building a new house. Yes, we have only been in our house for 2 1/2 years, but have gained 2 more children and decided that we needed to move before Dylan started school in 2010. We also wanted to stay in Cedar Park and as most of you know our "hobby" is visiting model homes. Well, we liked Newmark in Westside Preserve at Buttercup Creek.

Our old house just went on the market this past weekend. We've had 3 showings so far and since we were out of town our realtor let a younger guy do an Open House both days this past weekend. Nothing yet, but I keep praying that someone will snatch our house up soon so I can stop being a constant cleaner and focus more time on the kids.

I'm actually really liking keeping the clutter down and the house clean. I even fired my maid today b/c now that I am looking deeper, she doesn't quite cut it! Of course, no one can do it as good as me. They just do it more often!

Anyway, the house won't be ready until June anyway so we have time to sell. If you know of anyone wanting to move to Cedar Park feel free to send them our way...MLS#7684135

Lovey Logan

I really think 18 months to 3 years is my favorite age. Logan came up to me two days ago, wrapped his arms around my legs in a true Logie Bear hug and said, "Mommy, I wuv you." This was all on his own and makes all the difficult times worth it.

Uh oh...Someone is Watching Me...

First off, let me say yes, I am paranoid about waking my napping kids.

Dylan is going potty a couple of days ago and doesn't flush the potty. I'm in the bathroom with him and say "Dylan, don't forget to flush."

Dylan responds "Mommy, I can't flush because it is too loud and Kaley is asleep."

I'm not officially admiting where this behavior was modeled.
