Outtakes........

We were all so excited to have the Sharpes come this weekend! They came yesterday evening and are leaving tomorrow. Missy wanted to get some DAD pictures done like the one's i did of my kids so we shipped my kid's to school this morning and started snapping away. These first ones our the funny "outtakes". Which Missy and I just about died laughing at, Because a gagging child always brings out the humor in us!

We are so happy to have them around for a few day's the kiddies love playing together!

Reader discretion advised!!!

This face looks Innocent enough right?

WRONG

So don't say i didn't warn you this post is long involved and kinda nasty.........So today already I've earned my mommy badge. We woke up this morning quite happy. Let me digress for the last 3 previous night's we've (Most/all kid's and me) have been having a hard time sleeping. Brody's nightlight burnt out and sent him into a i don't know what but he had every aliment from 10pm-2am he was hot then cold then his tummy hurt then his back hurt then he grew another ear (ok just kidding on the last) and Blaze, well i just believe he's spoiled and has gotten into a bad habit and Poor Paris gets woke up by all the commotion! So our breaking point was the night before last everybody in our whole house was up a 4AM! Me and Brad just looked at each other in total shock and disbelief as the weeping and wailing went on and on! Anyway so to say the lest we were all very very tired yesterday. So (and don't Judge me or call social service on us) but Brad Made a mad dash on his lunch break to walmart for a big jar or Children's Gravol. (for all you Americans it's for upset tummy's or for desperated sleep deprived parents) but i guess they have caught on to people like us and quit selling it!!! So Brad got the children's Tylenol DM. So last night at 5:30 pm each and everyone of the kids got a special treat from Daddy and would cure anything that ailed them that night! By the time we got dinner on there was next to no conversation the kiddies were so tired! B who usually eats us out of house and home did not take a bite. So 7 rolls around and off to bed and within 15min all 3 were sound asleep. Brad and I said a little prayer that it would last.................. and guess what it did!!!! We woke up this morning happy and refreshed!! UNTIL.......................



Brad went to work and the kid's woke up and we went to get Blaze up! Well it was Paris turn to get him up and she comes running out and Say's i cant get him cause he stinks. Which does not surprise me with his aversion to the tub and when he's relaxed at nap or night is is know to empty his system. So i got the diaper and wipes and in i went. Blaze was in a super mood (thanks to Tylonol Dm) and layed right down for his diaper change well i grabbed his pants hastily and felt somthing kinda squishy well i pulled up his pant and there was Poop everywhere!! The front of this diaper had come off and poo was everywhere! So of course i started gagging and in between gagging dry heaving and then i had called brad to see if he had bathed blaze last night but by that time it didn't matter he was going to be forced into the shower! So Brad is laughing on the other end of the line as I'm gagging and the kid's are screaming cause poo is coming out everywhere! Anyway long story short i think Blaze was shocked over the big hype in the morning over him he willingly got in the shower! Wow then i handed Paris the bathroom wipes and asked her to go wipe up all the wet foot prints and she said "the poo to" i went and looked and there was a big ol' Pile that had fallen out without me noticing!!!! So I think I've earned my Mom badge today! But now after all the craziness this moring i have no energy to get dressed or out of bed for that matter! Oh what a day, and it's only 9am!

Blaze and my day!

Paris and i had big plans for today. We got B off to school and we were going to work out in the sewing room on baby's stuff. Well 9:00 rolls around and Paris gets a phone call to go play and she thought that sounded funner. So it left Blaze and me, so we got to work!

This is what we got made.............

Minky Retro astronaut blanket and matching burp cloth

His Big Minky Blanket and Burp cloth. Brad got to decide on the first name for sure so it's Knox (I'm sure Grandpa Hough will have a look for us) I asked him 3 time to make sure before i appliqued on this blanket. So His name unless it surprises us and is a girl, he will be Knox Merrigan Wolsey.


This i was so excited about it I used all the left over Minky and matched it with about 4 or 5 fat quarters and came up with this top. I'm just going to tie it but i think it turned out super cute!

I found a tutorial on someones blog with these covers's. It's 2 pieces of light cotton with two straps that Velcro across the carrier handle so it makes kind of a tent for the baby in the summer when it's sunny so you can lift it up but it still is stuck on the carrier. Anyway I'm excited about it obviously.

And this is how Blaze helps................

He tried out the carrier and Blanket

He Made me laugh

And again he tried out yet another blanket.

Otherwise He wandered around the yard and found all sort's of things with wheels while i sewed.

He's such a good little guy when the other kiddies are not around.

And this is tomorrow's project. Making these Bib's and hat's super cute for this baby!!

Oh how i love to craft!

So Brad and I have always prided ourselves on being pretty easy going (yes sometimes to easy going) But we decided early in our Marriage that most things that happen and make us crazy really don't matter. So when big thing's like owing $6500 for taxes this year instead of the expected $2000 we just say wow that really sucks!!! Good thing we've been putting away savings, oh well i guess we wont be paying off that student loan yet! It really has worked out well for us by accepting what we can't change and dealing with it together. So long story short I've been having a really hard time lately with everything and i know it's totally hormonal but as most women know you can't change that! I found myself following Brad around the yard today complaining about everything!! And when i say complaining, I think Brad would use a much stronger word! Anyway after much thought about the last couple weeks and things just not going our way at all, I decided to play the glad game. Missy brought it up on her Blog a few months back and i decided it was time for me to give it a try cause there is so much to be glad about if i really think about it so here goes.......

I'm glad the tire went flat so the kid's could come out to help change the tire cause then Paris had Plumbers Bum and it made me laugh! SHHHHH don't tell her!

I'm glad Blaze loves wheels so he could help daddy by painstakingly unscrewing 2 of the lug nut's without any help from Daddy! And we could find out that our Brake pads are down to almost nothing. But I'm glad there still is a little bit of pad left.

I'm glad I've got a camera that i can take pictures of Kid's dirty toes.

I'm glad for B...........Just for Being B. He is such a good boy and we have learned so much from him some knowledge we are glad for other not so much.

I'm Glad Blaze (who hates the Bath) Likes some kind of H2O even if it is poopie irrigation water

I'm glad Paris could come get her toes done with me this month and I'm also glad we have toes.

I'm glad Paris' horse lessons got changed for today instead of next week.(I don't think we could stand two overly emotional girls in the house for a whole week)

BUT MOST OF ALL I'M GLAD FOR BRAD WHO KEEPS ALL OUR CRAZINESS TOGETHER!

Happy Fathers day to BRAD!!

This week has moved by pretty quick! The kid's finally got back to school on Wednesday! Well after a little morning "I don't want to wake up" from Brody, He did arrive by 10:30 but boy does he have a stubborn streak............(i wonder what side of the family that comes from?) Anyway one funny thing did happen on our long weekend, Brad and the 2 older kids were going to sleep out in the tent but due to circumstances beyond our control (fireworks) the kid's decided they needed to come inside so they got to sleep on the floor in our room (big thrill) Anyway about 2am Paris starts crying and yelling so i as fast as i could rolled out of bed to see what was going on, Anyway i flipped on the light and she was stuck halfway under the bed just her little leg's were sticking out? I do not know how she ended up there, She was fast asleep on her giant bear when Brad and i went to bed. Anyway it kinda reminded me of my "White Cave Experience (for those of you in the know).

So I'm super excited about fathers day this year, Brad's been asking for pictures for the office they had frames for a 8/10 and 3 4/6 pictures. Anyway I'm in no condition for a family photo so we decided for fathers day we were going to do special pictures for Daddy's work. So I'm still deciding between the 2 kids ones but the bottoms i think are the for sure ones for the 4/6's. I thought it was a fun idea and the kid's loved the idea cause it was a fun picture taking time (well for them). Anyway Let me know what you all think between the 2 pictures with all the kiddies together!! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

So It's Official..............

This is a picture of me prego with Blaze just to say i'm not alway's so huge!

I really am huge! I' ve been having issues about this the last month or so, Anyway I went to the doctor today and he made it official I'm am huge. I layed down for the regular measure and he measured me and followed that with a "Wow how big was your biggest baby?" O geeze right! I told him it was B at 8Lbs 3 ounces which is not huge but he was also 10 day's early followed by Blaze who was actually 13 day's early at 7 lbs 4 ounces. Anyway So the Doctor looked me up and said my date according to my Monthly is the 27th but the ultra sound is the 19 and by the way he was talking it should have been a week ago! Long story short i came away a little more depressed then when i stepped in, But on the upside of things he's on holiday's starting 28th so he said we'll make sure you have it before then and maybe awhile before then! So that is great news's but at the same time im huge!

Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

Yes it did!! I carefully picked a dress this morning put it on and looked long and hard in the mirror. Debating if it made me look bigger then i actually am or not. So after careful consideration i walked out and asked Brad (in front of the kids) If this dress made me look big, He wisely said no you look good, I think i was mostly because he knew if he said anything else the morning would end with me in my undies crying on the bedroom floor cause nothing looks good or fits and it would me he has run the risk of being late for church which he hates. So of course he said no Kade you look great! But meanwhile B sticks up his little finger about a inch apart and said ok mom you don't look really good. So of course I turned around while Brad gave B the "You never say that to your mom till after she has the baby Lecture" Soon he came In with a quick apologies. And the morning went on. So i get to church and got caught in the hall chatting with some people and Brad and the kids were in head so i trailed in and had to waddle the whole way across the chapel to find them. Anyway as soon as church was done Sis. G said hey you look so good, Your due pretty soon eh! And i said well in 2 and 1/2 months, which she followed with oh really wow! Soon after i got Blaze to nursery i ran into Sis. D who asked how much longer........... 2 1/2 months and she followed that with a holy cow KD You are huge and she said it over and over again! And then the Bishop Came up and said wow you must really be uncomfortable! The rest of church the comments came..............

Long story short never believe the husband always believe your 7 year old who is not worried about having a crying mommy or being late for church! I'm throwing that dress away!
