so much, so little...........

So each day you wake up with a hundred things to do it seems, but it always seems like you get so little of it done. I guess when I take a step back and think about defining "little" it is hard to. I paid a few bills, bathed the boys, got them out the door along with myself, put in a full day at work, came home and tried to clean a bit and keep the boys under control, read and took care of the mail, read my email, posted on here....... you know what I am getting at. It seems like you mark very little off your list, but do quite a bit each day! I guess even diaper changes and sippy cup refills and snacks alone can add up to a lot of keeping up with two little guys.

Speaking of little guys, Case is into everything and still trying to throw things away. We took the garbage bag out of the can and pulled the strings tight so he could not get into it. He still tried to pull it out down the aisle way toward the door. The bag won, he fell on his keister and was not too happy. Corbin seems to have a bad case of the smart-alics. He is bound and determined he will do what he wants to. I guess it is kind of nice to see him show his independent side, but it makes you a little crazy. He is also starting to talk in terms of girl/boy. Tonight he says, "Boys, Girls, I need my Kronemeyer blanket." when he was laying in bed. I am not sure why Mom or Dad would not do, but Boys, Girls seemed to be just right. It is also quite comical that his blanket that he got from G'ma Kronemeyer is his Kronemeyer blanket! Case has one to and that is Case's Kronemeyer blanket. I think G'ma hit a home run when she gave the blankets to the boys as Christmas Gifts!

I have next week off so I am quite tickled pink about it. I can't wait to have some time off to try and do things around here. Of course the boys will probably go to the sitters so I have some peace and quiet to do some work! More later.......

Ghost Trailer

Somehow Dan and Corbin got on the topic of Halloween and scary stuff. They saw some kind of trailer and Corbin said, "Daddy, that is a Ghost Trailer" I asked what is a Ghost Trailer and Corbin said, "Oh mommy, it will scare the pants off ya!" Where does this kid come up with this stuff. He is nuts I am sure of it.

We called the local preschool to obtain some information. We may decide to send Corbin in January to pre-school. It would be 12:30 to 3pm two days a week (T&R). I guess I would have to run and pick him up to drop him off at school. That might be kind of nice to see him midday, but not so fun to go out in the winter! We will have to see what the paperwork tells us.

More later, things to do!

That's for kids

Corbin had a video and some books that needed to go to the Library so Dan and him made their jaunt over that way after everyone showered up for the day. They returned their items and decided to go pick out some new ones. Dan was in the movie section with Corbin and he picked up a Dora video. He said, "How about a Dora video?" Corbin gave him a huge look of disgust and said, "Dad, that is too Girlie!" So then Dan picked up a Clifford the big red dog video and suggested that may a good pick. Corbin says, "Dad, you know that is for kids!" He finally settled on a Little Einstein movie. Apparently, that is not for kids. Dan said some lady was in the area just giggling away at Corbin.

Last night I was working from home laying in bed. Corbin comes in and decides he needs to keep me company. He says, "Mom, I need you to move these papers to make room for me." So, I move them and he hops up. He then notices I am under the blankets and informs me I will need to move the paperwork because he needs to be under the covers also. I get everything moved and he looks at me and says, "Thanks, that is perfect." I sure don't know when exactly it happened but he has definitely turned into a little boy all of a sudden. He is a lot of fun and it is really like having another adult around to keep you company some times. He plays and all but just seems so grown up in so many ways. I am really enjoying this age.

Baby Case is his cute little self these days. He is still naughty, we have a tote beside the couch of stuff that we need to do something with so Case thinks it is great to climb on up and stand up there. I think he thinks he is king of the hill and when he flashes you the that big grin with the faint dimple on one side you can't help but smile back. I really need to get some pictures done of my little cuties, it will have to be the generic convenient kind since there never seems to be enough time or money these days!! They both go faster than I can keep track of!!

More later....have a good one!!

So Helpful........NOT

Hello, Hello........ You have to love it when your kids think they are so helpful. After bringing Case in from Trick or Treating last night Dan got him ready for bed. This morning when getting him ready for the sitters house I looked and looked but could not seem to find his shoes. I asked Dan and he did not know what happened to them. We looked in the closet, in the bag that goes to the sitters, under the couch, in his room, and the list goes on..........

Can you guess where the shoes turned up? Our little friend apparently thought he was done with them and needed some new ones because on whim we looked in the trash. You guessed it, there they were!!! We also found a play shovel. We might just have to put a look on the cabinet if this keeps up. Funny how they are so dang cute, but so darn naughty at this stage. He thinks he is a big kid and sure does seem to be able to do a lot for his age. I guess that is what happens when you have a big brother to show you how it goes!! Have a good Friday and weekend all!!
