Seriously...I'm so sick of dealing with toilets from this past weekend I'm about to just put everyone in diapers and make them deal with themselves.
Hazel...my little bitty Hazel...clogged her toilet on Friday night. I was RIGHT there with her so it wasn't because of too much TP. I don't know how they come out of her...honestly it's frightening. And it clogs...therefore sending not so clean water flooding the bathroom upstairs. So that is one toilet down.
Hagen...my little bitty Hagen...clogged our toilet. Again, not an overuse of TP...he also has some impressive "moment's"...overflow #2...so 2 bathrooms out of commission.
I woke up from a nap with Hazel on Sunday only to find out that a 3rd toilet was out of commission. Hagen was changing the TP roll and accidentally dropped the plastic tube that hold the roll on into the toilet. He told Ryan and Ryan said for him not to flush it and he would get it...Hagen didn't hear the NOT part. So it was lodged. Like we tried to get it out many ways and it was not budging.
So we bought a new toilet. It's purty...and clean...
We also had to buy a new pot and pan this weekend because the non stick stuff on our older ones was coming off so bad we were afraid we may die of some kind of non-stick poisoning, so I am really feeling like a true adult in the shopping area...
Cheers,
Carrie

Tattling
The kids have mastered a new annoying trait...Tattling.
I swear they tag team just to get me all in a frenzy!
The worst time of day for this ridiculousness is at breakfast. This is usually when they eat and watch a short show while I finish drying my hair and put makeup on. I kid you not that in about a 15 minute time frame they each have at LEAST 2 trips...if not more.
"Mom, Hazel stuck her tongue at me"
"Mom, Hagen touched my pancake"
"Mom, Hazel said "No Hagen""
"Mom, Hagen told me no"
And so on...
My response each time? "OK" I don't even ask for details...I just blow it off and hope it will stop. So far it isn't...but I am holding out for a miracle.
Hagen is pretty good with Hazel but she is so mean to him and he is just sick of being treated badly so now he is yelling at her and getting in her face. Not proud of that and I WILL step in if I see that going on, but I don't blame him for telling her No...which I hear about each and every time he does.

Ryan is a bully
Ryan LOVES to scare the kids...I mean he really loves it!
I have told him numerous times that it is cruel and that he is really going to raise a pansy and needs to stop. I mean, every once in awhile is fine but he likes to often.
Take last night for example:
I was putting Hagen's clothes away and he was reading out loud to me from his easy reader bag. He didn't want to but I told him that I didn't want to do laundry so let's just get our chores over with and be done...fine.
When you walk into Hagen's room his bed is on the wall right in front of your face. Hagen was leaning on his bed with his forearms holding his book and his feet were on the floor...so he was standing with his back towards the door.
Ryan creeps in...I give him the "I will cut you" look and he smirks. I give him the "I'M NOT KIDDING LOOK" and he smirks.
I figured he got the point. So I got in Hagen's closet to hang up some clothes and put his basket back and it happened...he did it...he scared Hagen while he was sweetly reading to his Mama.
I was LIVID! Hagen was shaking he was so scared and screaming at Ryan.
This is not the first or even the second time this has happened. Ryan does this ALL the time...mainly to Hagen. It was sad...
I told him he needs to fix it and went to Hazel's room to play with her and her new Dollhouse before bed. Ryan was talking with Hagen but Hagen told him to leave his room so Ryan came into Hazel's room.
"Why do you do that?"
"What?!?"
"Do not what me...you know damn well what"
"I'm only joking"
"Well, it is getting to the point of being cruel...and I told you not to do it because he was doing his homework"
"(silence)"
"Do you even feel bad?"
"No! I was just having fun!"
Maybe the reason why I was so mad is because I HATE being scared! Oh and what's worse than being scared? Someone grabbing you while scaring you. EVEN WORSE THAN THAT? on your love handles where it tickles so you are laughing but are really pissed and scared.

Funny "isms" lately
Kids say the funniest things sometimes. Hazel was having a hard time with her speech. At her 3 year well visit I discussed it with
her Doctor and she recommended doing some speech therapy…of course after that I
thought she was improving a lot so I never called about it. She seems to be getting better…especially in
the potty talk and bad mouth areas.
We just got done with the Christmas break and Hagen is back
at school as of this morning. On the way
to school Hazel likes to look for dogs and count them. It is BITTERLY cold here right now so we didn’t
see any.
Hazel: “Mama, I don’t see any doggies out today”
Hagen: “I do…your face”
Me: “Hagen…that was not nice”
Hazel: “Not nice Hayen”
Hagen was playing with Hazels new Leap Pad that happens to be
pink.
Hazel: “that’s mine!
You not yike pink so you can’t play with it!”
Hagen: “sharing is caring Hazel” (because he is such a model
sharer)
Hazel: “(yelling) Sharing NOT
caring!!!”
This morning on our way to drop Hazel off at Daycare I was
talking to her about something and ended with “Okey Dokey Artichokey?”
She responded with, “Okey Dokey
Chokey!”

What a weekend
Saturday morning I loaded up the kids and headed to the gym. Hagen is always up and ready to go but Hazel is a little sleepy head and was dragging. I always bribe them with a burrito from Sonic if they get up and get dressed quickly.
I love taking Hagen to the Gym. At the end of the workout he usually joins me for a few burpies and push ups. He is really strong and getting really fit! I hope he is fast and enjoys working out like Ryan.
Hazel usually curls up in a beanbag chair with her baby and watched TV while we are there.
After we worked out we went to Nana's to pick up Hagen's coat he left over there. While I was there I helped Tom take down her Christmas trees and Nana was busy pumping the kids FULL of sugar.
I am not opposed to sugar...hell, I love it. But on January 1st we all picked a treat that we could eat and then all of it was going in the trash. I chose Mint Chip Ice cream, Ryan chose Chocolate PM chunk ice cream, and the kids chose gummies...sour patch kids and gummy spree.
SO I told Nana no more sugar. She gave them (I'm not kidding) Starburst, jelly beans, york peppermint patties, Tootsie pops, Carmel's, and frosted flakes. After I said no more and we were leaving Hazel came up with 2 tootsie pops in her hand. I said, No Nana! She left with one...oh and they each had a bag of Frosted flakes thrown at them walking out the door. I don't like being under minded...at all. I look like I am depriving my skinny kids. I don't, but I do take notice of the amount of sugar they have...cavities?
Anyway on the way home I needed to get a flu shot. The kids were so excited that I had to get one and they didn't. Hazel was so sweet and held my hand and said she was going to protect me. Hagen was off acting like a complete sugared up crazy kid.
We stopped by the park to run off some steam...the wind was CRAZY. I wanted to go so bad and then it happened. Hagen fell off a thing and scratched his leg. It was not bad but I used it as an excuse to head home so we could wash it. It would have been such a beautiful day out if it wasn't so damn windy!
Cael came over and watched a movie with the kids and played football while Hazel rode around on her trike. She LOVES her trike! So glad that we found one that she could actually reach the petals. Hagen never rode one because I never got him one that he could reach...poor guy.
Then Sunday came and it was COLD! I'm talking Ryan even complaining about it which he doesn't really get cold. The windchill made it in the teens...
Tomorrow we head back to Daycare. Hagen has had 2 weeks off and they schedule a teacher inservice day?!? All of us do better on our normal work/daycare/school schedule...it's time to get back to that!
Cheers!
