He loves those horns! He wears them all the time. He even wants to sleep in them!
First tooth
My household spies! So funny!
Soccer star! She scored 3 goals in the last game!
Headed to the rodeo...
It is Sunday now. This is my stress day. Preparing for the upcoming week while trying to recover from the last always does me in, not to mention trying to have a social life or attending kids' sports. It is truly a crazy time. I cannot imagine what it will be like in 5 years when Knox is involved too. We have created a stoplight to gauge my stress levels so everyone is aware of my mood. It works out pretty good to keep us all aware of my fragile mental state. Now they even say, "Mom, are you at a red yet?"
There were a few significant events that have gone "unblogged" lately. I just haven't had time. Something has to give, and blogging has been one of them.
1. Maisy lost her first tooth. I was completely unprepared for it, not that it was early, I just hadn't even started thinking about it. One day she came home and said her tooth felt funny. Sure enough it was loose. Four days later, she pulled it at school. She didn't even tell the teacher, a friend did. She obviously handled that trauma well. That night she was really nervous about the tooth fairy being in her room, which I thought was cute. She decided to put her tooth on her nightstand because she really didn't want to wake up while he/she was in there.
2. Knox has started using the potty. He is a long way from trained, but went most of the day yesterday in his big boy pants. I am just completely unmotivated to potty train him. I know he is ready though. Maybe over Christmas, if he doesn't teach himself before then. Poor Baby! Literally!
3. Jeremy and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary October 6th. It was a very special weekend. I used what little time and creativity I had to write Jeremy a heartfelt love letter confessing the 5 things I love most about him. I put a lot of heart into it, and he appreciated it. He surprised me with a really pretty ring, champagne and strawberries at the hotel. I got him a new tv for the basement. It felt so good to buy him something with MY money. It was special weekend. I am proud of who we are and how far we have come together. I hope the next ten years are as blessed as these have been.
Below are some random pictures of the kids. They are growing up so fast. I truly can't believe it. Carson is getting really big both physically and mentally. It is fun to talk to him. However, he dropped the dreaded, "I don't believe in Santa Claus." on me the other day. We haven't had a private moment to finish that conversation, so I will have to report on that later. My heart sunk at the thought though. Maisy continues to baffle me with her daily confessions. She has a conscience the size of Texas and impulse control of a typical 5 year old...tough combo. Her honest heart has her confiding tidbits of her kindergarten experience that most mothers never get the chance to hear. In fact, I will start a blog entry on those to document her soul torturing days. It really bothers me. She worries way too much and typically convinces herself that there is something wrong with herself or she is a bad person. She is so hard to figure out! Then there is Knox. He is finally talking! He is repeating everything. While it is not all clear, you can figure most of it out. My favorite things he says are macaroni, balloon, buns, raccoon, and moose. He is wild, rough, and funny. He LOVES being naked and outdoors. Again, another bad combo. My poor neighbor girls have seen more male anatomy via Knox than I care to think about. I cannot believe my baby is almost 2!
