Unusual


I have come to the conclusion my children are not normal.

When Keith's friends come over to play (and their mothers come and we play), quite often conversation turns to food.  Their little boys are very picky eaters, barely eating anything at all.  Whereas both of my kids will eat just about anything and everything.  Keith doesn't like pickles.  That is all he wont eat.  Faye eats everything.  Faye eats more than I do.  She eats all day long.  Seriously, I don't know where the girl puts it!


Also, my kids hate to be naked.  Most little kids their ages I have encountered are strippers.  Loving the feel of the wind on their skin as they run laughing from their parents frantically trying to get them covered up.  Mine bring me clothes if they feel they are not dressed enough.  They like layers.  Especially Faye.  She likes at least three or four.  I love it!

My kids were food lovers, too. I'm glad they were!

And mine didn't strip down either. They even liked to wear shoes...

(I think we are both lucky that way.)

My kids love food too, but they also loved being naked.

Too funny!

I can relate with the non picky eaters. My kids will eat pretty much anything. BUT I struggle on a daily basis with the exhibitionists that they are!

They might not appreciate layers quite so much if you were in Florida. =)

Wow. Of my 3 only 1 actually eats. Are you dosing them with something?

All three of my kids are picky eaters. Cake is cake right? Not for them...only if it is CHOCOLATE with CHOCOLATE frosting!

My daughters loved to be naked when they were little. My son...well he is quite the opposite. And heaven for bid anyone see him! It's a good thing. And thankfully my girls out grew their exhibitionist ways!

My mom swears my brother and I ate anything....my girls. Um, not even close. the youngest hardly touches any meat (only in tacos and chili, and the oldest...well she eats like a bird.

Kids, all different. All wonderful.

My kids are all excellent eaters, too. In fact, Chloe would prefer veggies and fruit over treats and water over soda, even. Sophia hates pizza, but that's about all she won't eat, and she's even started to be okay with it if it's just cheese. Not sure what she doesn't like about it, because otherwise, she's probably my best eater!

Sophia was my only nakey lover. I blame it on the fact that she was born in Phoenix in the middle of July. My other two were spring/fall Utah babies. It was chillier for them. :)

Max has a hollow leg. It is amazing. My dad loved to just sit and watch her eat when we were home at thanksgiving. You have to see it to believe it. And the chick is maybe 17lbs? Maybe!!! At one! Crazy. Brennan is an eater too, bit he didn't get his pork loin name from being thin, lol. We all saw where he put it! Can't believe they came from the same parents.

You lucky woman. The day I get Rowan to eat a vegetable that is not in the form of a green smoothie might bring me to tears. Seriously.

And guess what? Last night when I went to bed I was looking at my sleeping babe and thinking how cute he was- well, one of the pillows was on the lower half of his body- I moved it and yep, bottom half of him was buck naked. I just about busted a gut. That kid.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate
