The best free toy ever....








Look who's 3!!!!



Trey and Daddy. I love this picture. It's currently my desktop background.


Joshie


A little bit of Joshie fun to share. This morning he was all kinds of upset with me. They were, once again, fighting over the Wii and I said it was time to turn it off. He cried and cried, then asked "did I lose my Wii privileges?" I told him he didn't lose them, that they just needed to take a break for a bit because they were getting too frustrated playing together. He looked at me for a moment, and said "Well, can I go over to Miss Sydney's house and play Wii." I was like, nope sorry buddy, doesn't work that way. To which he replied "You're so mean!!"

Then this afternoon I was searching and searching the house for my cell phone. Josh was a great helper and came upstairs looking for it. Seth, in typical form, said "It's over there." I asked him if it was by the stairs, which is where he pointed. He looked at me like I was stupid and said really slowly, "Oooovvver Theeeeeeere". After about a half hour I found the phone...underneath Madden. I was all excited and said "Oh Joshie, I found it." He said "Where was it?" "Madden was laying on it." "Well, I guess you should have looked under the cat". I was like, gee thanks Capt. Obvious. LOL. He just cracks me up.

Sethers is getting to be quite the comedian as well. I was thinking about this today, and have decided I really am doomed. See, I married a smart ass, and we reproduced 2 smart asses, probably 3 once Trey starts to talk. I am going to have to pray that I can fine tune my "quick wit", cause it's so slow compared to these boys I live with.

Have you heard me mention before that Seth is totally James in miniature form? Cause he is. Just.Like.James. Today he showed me how much, in a few ways. He is potty training, and thus far the most successful approach is to have him naked here at home. He does awesome, except for the fact that he's discovered just how much fun his penis is. Yeah, he's figured out it can grow. I guess he got sick of me telling him to stop playing with his penis, because he popped off at me this evening, with a nasty tone "I can play with my penis any time I want to, Mama. So stop pestering me." Guffaw.

If you know James well you'll know that he thinks that his penis is a great toy, and a fun thing to practical joke with. He really is just a big kid, I swear. He does the things like 'mangina' and 'bald man on the trampoline' to me all the time. Now here's the thing...he has never done this in front of the kids, so Seth must come by it naturally.

Anyways, I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've turned my head to discover a penis sitting on my shoulder. If you guessed that Seth did this to Josh you would have guessed correctly. Poor Josh was mortified, and Seth quickly discovered he could chase his brother around the house trying to put his penis on him. Oh my. I never expected I'd have to be yelling "Seth, keep your penis to yourself!" or "Stop chasing your brother with your penis" Man, I wish James was here, because the past few weeks with Seth have been a blast. He is constantly cracking me up.

Trey is getting so big. He's so interested in whatever I am eating. Baby food, blech, he doesn't want it unless it's fruit. Tonight I ordered chinese food, and Trey was bound and determined that he was going to share it with me. I wasn't paying attention and he snagged one of my crab rangoons off my plate, then screamed when I took it away. He was only slightly appeased by the offer of white rice instead. He is becoming more vocal about his displeasures, and is saying Mama with more consistency. I fear he's entering the separation anxiety stage, as he has started freaking out if I leave the room. Today taking Seth potty (and Seth insisted the door be closed) resulted in tears, bawling Mama, and pulling up on the outside of the bathroom door. I felt awful that he was so upset.

I'm missing James a lot. He is my best friend, and I'm feeling so lost without him. I've tried to stay busy, because the house just feels so empty without him. I guess absence really does make the heart grown fonder. I hate not being able to just pick up the phone and call him when the boys do something so funny, or when I just need to hear his voice.

Before I get all sad and mushy I'm going to finish up the blog. The laptop battery is about to die anyways, and I'm going to go veg out to Sweet Home Alabama. That movie always makes me feel better.
