IT'S OKAY YOUR MOM NOT SUPERWOMEN!!

No matter how hard you try to hide all the dangourous stuff in the house, they will find something at some point in time. No matter how hard you try not to swear in front of them, they will repeat a swear word learned when you thought they weren't listening. No matter many times you tell them "No" they will try it just to see. No matter how careful you are about not giving them to much food on thier plate, they will throw some on the floor. No matter how many times you tell them, they will still ask "Why". No matter how many times you tell them not to undo the seatbeat, they still will. No matter how many times you try not to yell at them, not to loose your temper and not to become completly overwhelmed with them, you will. But no matter how many times you do, they will always love you, hug you when you are crying, ask you if you are okay, be excited to spend time with you, and above all never lose thier faith in you.

We have decided to plan a trip to Yellowstone, this fall. I am excited and I am starting to plan! If anyone has any great ideas or places to visit along the way please let me know! Look out Yellowstone, two wild monkeys are coming and they love animals!!! :)

Crazy Cupcake Mess

So for many of those who already know, my baby Tyler is turning 2 on Sunday. For which it sadens me that he is already this big, but that is neither here nor there. So for daycare today he had a birthday party, for which I was allowed to bring a treat for the kids in his class to celebrate the big 2 with him. Jeff and I searched the store last night for a hour and a half trying to decide what to make as far as cupcakes were concerned. I was going to make them home made, of which I had every good intention! We gathered all the nessecary stuff, and then decided to check the prices of already made cupcakes! Why not, they were 5 dollars a dozen, hence all the time I would spend preparing them I thought "Sure, I'll do that, then the boys will never know about the cupcakes"! So we did it, we made it home with a present and cupcakes in the truck and two boys who knew nothing of this little plan! (I keep it quiet to my boys since the diaster last year with Dieter's cupcakes!) So we woke up early this morning, and off to drop them off I go, when Tyler who was just got out of bed, was screaming out of hunger! So I say "Tyler it is your birthday party today at school, and these cupcakes are for you and your class"! Okay, first you would think I would learn by now that telling them about sugar period is not a good idea, nor was telling the newly 2 year old about something that he would want to help with! Immediatly Tyler cryed the whole way to the daycare, and all the way out the car until I handed him in those tiny little hands a tray of cupcakes! Oh how his face lit up with a sugar high! Okay so it went well until he couldn't see over the cupcakes to watch where he was going and tripped over the cement! Yes cupcakes went everywhere, so and I am sorry to say the I being the mom in me that I am, quickly picked up the cupcakes wiped the dirt off and put them back in the box! I know your thinking "What did she just do"! But as you will expreiance in those times of crazyness and your a mom you will do things that you never saw yourself doing before! Tyler on the other hand was also picking them up and proceeding to tear the liner off and eat them, as if we never feed his bottomless pit!! So needless to say the cupcakes made it to school, along with a screaming little boy who knew nothing but mommy was not only leaving him earlier then normal but with out sugar in his little cabagepatch hands! So as I left the daycare building I could feel my eyes start to feel with tears that Tyler was 2, that I had almost got mad for the cupcake mess, and that my two boys were growing up before I was pleased that I had done the best job in thier small years. So I get in my car take a few deep breaths and remind myself, that even though there crazyness in life that it is okay sometime to lose it and be a weeping mom of insanity that your kids will still love you and that life will go on there are many more exciting moments to look forward too!! :)
