My life as Mom: July 2010

Ok, SoI have to skip a few posts that I need to do because we had such a fun day outside that I wanted to share. I will get back to fourth soon!!

Today after we had dinner I promised the kids the could go back outside for some good ol white trash fun!! Naked, no diapers, no shoes and our white trash pool! Let me just tell you it reminds you with kids, it is not the money you spend but the time you spend with them. I love these two more than I ever thought possible. They are the sweetest, most funny and entertaining kids I could of asked for!! Thank you God for this blessing! Being a mom is the greatest thing in the world!

I will say we also ended this with an outside scrub down bath! Soap and a hose and we were ready to go!! Sorry no pics of that b/c I was the scrubber!!! Enjoy, and I hope this made you smile!!! Love to all!!!

Potty training Luke!!!

Today starts our official potty training for Luke!! It is time. He is great about telling us when he needs to go when we are out but not so much at home. So here we go.... "come on Luke, time to go potty!" So I round him up, take him to the bathroom where he prefers the big toilet with the elmo seat attached, sit him on, mostly against his will, and he says "pee pee, where are you?" Going well until.......I turn around to hear Karsyn, who by the way has been fully potty trained for months now, say "I can go pee pee too." Problem is she has her pants down standing over the little potty, facing it, while peeing!! Well this would be fine..... IF SHE WAS A BOY!!!!!! Pee is going everywhere, Luke is screaming to get down, and I failed at this attempt with Luke. To be continued!

Ok, so much to catch up on!!! Well, we had a trip to the beach, fourth of July, and many other things that I need to blog about!! I will start with our trip to the beach. Steve's lille sister graduated from H.S. in San Antonio so we decided to leave from there and go down to South Padre Island for a few days!! We had a great time. Luke, of course, loved the beach! Why would the kid who loves to eat dirt not enjoy the sand just as much? LOL! Karsyn on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the sand! She spent most of her time under the tent where the ground was covered in towels. She was also very happy to leave and go back to the pool. The weather was great, not to hot, not to cool. I will say the water was still a bit chilly, but I am not one for spending lots of time in the ocean anyhow!!

Another first on this trip was trying to get the twins to sleep together on an air bed. Well, once they quit giggling and messing with each other we would finally get them to sleep. I will say, it took many times of us saying "no more talking you two!! "Then I would wake in the night to some thumping under the bed and low and behold I look down to find Karsyn with half her body on the bed and the other half under the bed!! Later in the night she was reversed. Legs and most of her body under the bed and head left on the air bed! Same with Luke, he would roll off the side through out the night!! Need less to say, it was not the best sleep I have ever had!!! But we made it, everyone is alive. (which tends to be my goal. Lol)

Here are a few pics from the trip. I will say one of my complaints with blogspot is not being able to post a slide show. So sorry I won't be able to show many!! Note: the ones where you see Karsyn standing in the sand, she had on shoes and I was bribing her with a sucker!! Not 2 min after we finally got her to stand the water brushed over her feet and sucker or no sucker she was done with that!!!! Enjoy!!!
