More little Jacobisms!

Jacob (3) just woke up a few minutes ago. He rarely wets the bed now. It's been several weeks since the last time he had an accident. Well, he just woke up, and this is what he told me:

"Mommy, I'm all wet, but I didn't wet the bed, my bed got me all wet!"

Hehe....I think Jayla used to tell me that too. :)

-----

I've been meaning to blog about this too. A few days ago Jacob did or said something funny (I can't remember what it was, but that's irrelevant), and I naturally laughed at him. I don't try to hide it very often unless I think it will embarrass them. LOL! Well, apparently it made him mad that I laughed so he told me, "Mommy, I'm going to tell on you tomorrow, and you're not going to laugh at me ever again!"

My new haircut

It's been two weeks already since I got my hair cut. I plan to keep it short-ish from now on. It's just easier to take care of when you've got young ones! I've had long hair most of my life, and when I do cut it every few years, I usually let it grow back out long and then eventually cut it short again. Well, I'm just tired of it being long, so this is what it will look like now. For the most part, this is what it looks like when I wake up in the morning, so it's very easy! Oh, and yes this is all natural; the color, the curl, everything. Nothing artificial here, though I may occasionally get some temp color just for fun. :) No comments necessary, I just wanted to show everyone, and there's not many pictures of me on here.....by choice! LOL!

Jacob is such a nut!

Here is what I do to Jacob when he disobeys.
Actually, he was laughing as I was taking this. He also was not dressed since he had just gotten out of the bathtub! Running around in a blanket (or nothing) is his favorite thing to do, but he's finally growing out of it, I think. I hope!

We have some generic Jenga blocks that the kids have been building with lately. Jacob has been building bridges, garages, gas stations....anything to drive a car in, under, over or around.

And here he was just being plain silly again. Jonathan dressed up in his super-hero costume and wanted me to take pictures of him posing, so Jacob copied his every move,laughing the whole time. LOL!

And I'll throw one in of Jack too. :)

Girls' night!

Jayla has decided she is going to form her own girl club, so my BFF Chrys jumped right on that and invited us over for a "meeting" last weekend! It was great! Jayla actually ended up spending the night (after staying awake until 3am), but I went home to sleep in my own bed and went back the next morning for brunch. :)

So, to sum up in words what we did together, we ate chocolate, painted nails, fixed hair, ate more chocolate, made Cocoa Rice Crispy Treats, did some scrapbooking, played Barbies, and ate more chocolate. :) Here are a few pics from our evening.

I just love her freckles!



Chrys was such a good sport. :)

Me, not so much. She kept pulling some tiny hairs!!! She was cute though. She kept saying in an adoreable little voice, "Isn't that so cute?" :)

Jayla did her own nails, but here Sammy is giving her a touch-up.

And here is Sammy with her new GIRL puppy. They spent all evening trying to come up with a name for her, and Sammy really wanted something Japanese. Some of the better ones included Puchi (little), Kibbles and, hmmm.....I can't remember any more of those Japanese words! Girls, what did you decide???



The boys joined us for much of the evening, as long as they were quiet. :) I love this picture of Daniel. He looks like he's three years old! And the one of Chrys and Patrick. So cute!

Finally, around 3am, she crawled into bed and closed her eyes!

It was a great night!

Still working with the pictures

Okay, see, I have Linux instead of Windows. I really, really LOVE it, but since everything is so Windows-friendly (an evil plot formed by Microsoft to increase their sales and dominate the computer world!!!!!), I am having a difficult time getting all my pictures onto my computer. That is why I haven't blogged about it yet. I have almost all of them on my computer now, but I need to clear up some disk space so I can edit and save them. (sigh) I am actually learning some technical stuff on the computer while trying different things to get my system to read the Windows Vista-saved CD. (I have learned that I have the problem because of Vista!!! Grrr!!!!)

So I know you are all just DYING to see our vacation pictures. There are some really awesome ones! It won't be much longer now. :)

Yeah, I know I'm weird.

I was in Jayla's class tonight at Girl Scouts. They were going through the alphabet thinking of "healthy" foods for each letter. (I wasn't really surprised that so many of them were meat and dairy. We haven't completely given up dairy yet, but that is next on our list towards a healthier lifestyle. Currently though, half of my family is meatless!)

So for the more difficult ones, I tried to come up with fruits and veggies or at least things you might find at a health food store that are not at most grocery stores, and I tried to think ahead. So when they got to D, I waited to see if anyone could think of anything first, and when they couldn't, I offered up durian. I asked if anyone had heard of a durian and I described the appearance, taste and texture (I forgot to mention the SMELL!). The leaders, Christi and Shannon, were intrigued. I beamed. LOL!

When they came to K, I mentioned kale. Very healthy indeed, and most little kids haven't heard of it.

Then they came to the letter M. Mangos are Jayla's favorite fruit, so I tried to give her a hint....she wasn't thinking along those lines, I guess, so I finally just said it. Another little girl came up to me later and said they were her favorite too. :)

So then it came time for the letter Q. That was a tough one! I asked them if anyone had heard of Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah). Shannon couldn't take it anymore and just blurted out, "WHERE are you FROM???"

Frolicky Friday

Woah, am I sure late in posting about last Friday's fun! We went to a church function that was a huge outreach event. The kids had a BLAST! Well, I guess Myles and I did too. :) I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. A lot of what we did was not photographed though because we were having so much fun we couldn't get any pictures!!!

A lovely picture of "Aunt Sara". Myles' brother is the Children's pastor, so she gets to do all kinds of things. She's a lot of fun!

The event was filled with CANDY, over 15 inflatables, almost 10 rides, CANDY, food, drinks, CANDY, entertainment, giveaways, CANDY and lots of old friends. :)

Oh, and we met another Jayla! We were getting off the huge strawberry ride when another mom said, "Jayla, come here!" to get some candy (there was a TON of it, and we definitely got our fair share!) After realizing she wasn't talking to MY Jayla, I went up to her and asked "What is her name????" She said Jayla and I excitedly said, "That's MY daughter's name too!!!" She asked me if it was spelled the same, J-A-Y-L-A ? I said yes and then she said, "I thought I made it up!" I quickly replied, "I DID TOO!!!" LOL! The girls were about the same height, but the other Jayla was 4 years old. She was tall! So if anyone made it up, my Jayla was first! LOL! Actually, I did think I had made it up at the time, but shortly after she was born I googled her name and there are quite a few of them, actually! It's a really great name! :) Shoot, I should have taken a picture of the two girls together!
