Not a good day

to be an article of baby clothing in this house today. I had to throw out 2 boy onesies, a pair of boy sweatpants and a pair of girl leggings due to 3 seperate blow out the back and up the front shit incidents from 2 kids. You do the math. That's a lot of feces, diapers, cotton and suds making the rounds up in here.

A Boy and his buddy part 2

Open mouth insert hand, foot, & mouth Disease

Is running rampant in the Lif household. Okay so Lukey's version is mild and it's technically called Coxsackie (streetname= Hand Foot & Mouth virus). He's got a grody rash on his feet and legs and in his mouth and he's a little less happy than normal. No biggie...we'll ride it out and should be good to go in a few days.

Eva's version is a little more severe and it's where the "insert foot in mouth" part comes in. Additionally, I think it's here to stay for a bit longer. Allow me to relay a conversation between Eva and one of her grandparents. The name of the other party has been changed to avoid any embarassment the relaying of this story might cause for the interested party. I overheard this as I was on my computer in my dining room while NANA and Eva were playing in the den.

Nana: Oh eva lets read a book
Eva: Okay "Nana"
Nana: How about this one (insert some random book)
Eva: No
Nana: Okay how about this one (insert another random book)
Eva: No
Nana: Okay well do you want to play with this puzzle?
Eva: No Nana
Nana: Okay well then lets play with this piano
Eva: Okay Nana

Right about now is when Nana bends over to pick up said piano and breaks a little wind... not uncommon for someone in Nana's age range.

Eva: Nana fotted!!!!
Nana(trying desperately to change the subject): Eva here is the piano we are gonna play with!
Eva: NANA FOTTED
NANA (still desperately trying to change the subject): Come here we'll read a book then.
Eva: NANA FOTTED!!!!!!!!!! NANA FOTTED!!!!!!!!!!NANA FOTTED!!!!!!!!!!

It's a wonder that NANA didn't hear me bust out laughing as loud as I did. Or maybe she did and she was just desperately trying to blow the whole thing off (literally).

A 20 lb soon to be 5 month old

I'm taking this show to oprah!!!!!! Is this kid a ham or what???

Mammar dont be mad

But I'm taking the kiddies for "professional" pix today at Target. I hope this doesn't get you like a kick to the gut. You're off galavanting and the kids are getting cuter by the second and you're missing it and my photography skills...well...they suck. So I figure I'll give Target a shot. Wish us all luck. I can't get over this impending sense of doom and the fact that Eva is fighting her what would have been a most perfectly timed nap right now is making me worry. Her mood at this point is out of my control. Their outfits, on the other hand, I have total control over. So you can expect them to be dressed similarly and very adorabley. Stay tuned for a interesting update and hopefully at least one cute pic. Remember what happened last time I tried to have a photo shoot with these kids????? Here's a shot of the boy child just to refresh your memory...

A boy and his buddy

Unbeknownst to me I've created a monster and am setting my child up for a lifetime of rotted out digits and dental work and ridicule from his friends because somehow I created him with an innate urge to suck and of course I put the thing on the end of his arm that fits perfectly in his mounth. Apparently I'm supposed to take away the one thing in this world (besides me) that comforts my boy and makes him happy. WTF? Listen, I tried. I tried making him like the plug or giving him a woobie. And I've repeatedly asked him instead to form an attachement to a stuffed teddy bear but the kid ain't having it. So I'm putting this here so we can move past it. Lukey loves his thumb and momma doesn't have the heart to take it away from him. I've decided to deal with the other catastrophic things I'm setting him up for if and when they happen. For now the boy can have his thumb.... and suck it too.
