Where does the time go?

I cannot believe 2010 is already about to end. Christmas is tomorrow and while everything here in the Tahoe household is mass chaos I wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! It all happens so fast these days that it is so easy to blink and time has passed!

I hope all of you have a happy, healthy and blessed holiday season and that Santa brings you joy on Christmas morning! I also wish he magically makes my migraine go away~

Back to cooking the turkey~
love,

That reminded me...

Last night when going to bed, Mini #3 was discussing Transformers with Titan Boy. He kept talking about "Octopus Crime" and Titan Boy was laughing hysterically. Being that I have never seen Transformers didn't realize what was so funny.

Turns out the characters name is "Optimus Prime" and Mini #3 SWEARS it's "Octopus Crime" cause he's a bad guy....but this story reminded me of something hysterical Mini#1 said to me last year.

One day while in the car (probably on the way to baseball cause that is about the only place I seem to go these days) Mini #1 started a conversation with me....

Mini #1: Hey Mom, we are studying Mama Holly at school and I think it they are so cool!

TG: Um, who?

Mini #1: MAMA HOLLY!

TG: Mini, I have no idea who you are talking about but you can sure tell me all about them.

Mini #1: What do you mean you have never heard of Mama Holly, you know "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee?"

TG: (Tyring not to wreck the car from laughing) You mean MUHAMMAD ALI? The boxer?

Mini #1: Yes, Mama Holly! Wait, what's his name again?

At this point I can do nothing but laugh, because he really thought his name was Mama Holly.

They may make me crazy but atleast they make me laugh!

Epic Fail...

We are on vacation this week, sunning ourselves on the Gulf Coast in Florida! So far we have played on the beach, swam in the pool, danced with the dolphins and of course, burnt ourselves to a crisp.

As a mother there is one thing that really makes you feel like a failure. Sunburned Kids! I swear I have slathered and sprayed and completely covered them from head to toe in the thick white veil of sunscreen. Doesn't matter cause the sun finds the one spot I seem to miss or the sunscreen seems to wear off ten minutes into playing in the sand.

Sassy Tahoe looks like she got into a bar fight cause her right eye is sunburnt and Mini#1 has a ring around his belly were his pants rode down. They complain about how bad it hurts and it makes me fell HORRIBLE! I feel I have failed as a mom. Sunburn is preventable and I cannot seem to prevent it this year.

Guess its good we only have one more day or it might look like I am taking home red alligators instead of children.

My recent adventures...

I haven't run away screaming to the hills. Dreadfully I have spent most of my time recently in the dentists chair! Ugh, it has not been fun..

This week alone I have had a root canal, a crown and a filling. I have had numb lips more than not and I am over it! Don't get me wrong I adore my dentist but I am kinda tired of looking at him...

What have you been up to? Hope its been more fun than what I have been doing!

Not what I planned..

This post was going to be about the fact that school started yesterday and summer was over and how proud I was of myself for surviving my first summer at home with the Mini's in 5 years...

BUT...

instead it's about this....

Last night right before bed, Titan Boy noticed a chunk on hair in the sink and the little sideburn trimmer was on the bathroom counter. Thinking that Mini #1 was trimming his sideburns or just goofing off and just making a mess I ignored it and went to bed.

Fast forward to this morning when we were giving him a speech about not messing with stuff that wasn't his, that is when I noticed something a little different...

HE IS MISSING ALMOST AN ENTIRE EYEBROW!

He "trimmed" his right eyebrow almost completely off! Not to mention the fact that the center of his left one is missing too! He is 10 years old for goodness sake! What the heck? He looks ridiculous!

I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry! I didn't want to start a war with him right before he headed out the door for school but I wanted to drag him upstairs and draw them back on like my grandmother used too! He has red hair so it's not that is overly obvious but once you look at him you know something is off.

Atleast we don't have pictures scheduled anytime soon!

Addicted...

You would think since I have three kids I would remember how hard some things are. I mean I have done most things twice already so by the time I get to the third one it should be easy?? Maybe?

The "Binky Fairy" came to our house last night. She came and got all Mini #3's binkies and gave him a prize! I thought since he is 4 1/2 this would be easy but I was wrong! Holy cow he is now super grumpy and keeps asking me where she lives so he can break into her house and rescue his binkies. He says he doesn't care if new babies don't get new binkies cause those are his and he has changed his mind!

He did sleep all night last night but I think this is gonna be a struggle for awhile!

Hurricane Monkey

Instead of posting something fun and witty I will be heading upstairs to put all of Mini#3's clothes back in his closet! He decided yesterday he didn't like the way his closet looked so he removed everything from the hangers and shelves and threw it on the floor!

The only thing keeping me sane is that school starts in 12 days! Then I might be able to function again!
