I hate bitter cold weather

Well the temp. of course was off on the oven with the new thermometer too, so off to home depot. Got the old stove out, opened up the box to the new one..... it was damaged....... back to home depot...... and now..... all is said and done, but just our luck, having to make two trips to the store! And of course our stupid luck that we paid 88 bucks yesterday to fix the damn thing and it still didn't work. But I guess if it did, then it would have been nice to spend the 88 instead of 474.

On a cheerier note, to get this blog out of it's gloomy state... I thought I'd write about my crazy kids.

Jessica, who has been one adventure after another. Gotta love when I used to wake up in the morning and here a little voice say "oh no, all wet". I knew I was in trouble. She would always take off her diaper in the middle of the night and there would be pee every where. Now, I've learned to always have a onesie on her. She has figured out how to get that off, but it's not as easy. It's saved many loads of laundry.

So many things she does crack me up. Sometimes I have to hold back the laughter because it's usually something bad she has done, but it's hard to contain it. I like her lately saying "bye bye Mama" when I tell her to stop playing with the tree, it's as if she's saying "go away". Or if I'm yelling too loud, she'll say "Shhhhh". Hahaha... my 2 year old is already telling me to shut up. Ugh.

And our adventures in potty training. A few months ago, we explained the potty again, put her in underware, and she picked up that elmo potty and threw it across the room screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I knew we were in trouble then.

Can't skimp on stories of Jon.... The baby who is always smiling. I can't believe how happy he is. I'm so glad he goes to everyone, smiles for everyone. Unlike Jess who would only go to her Mama. The first month I thought I was going to go crazy from lack of sleep. And then all of the sudden at 6 weeks, he got it and understood night time was for sleeping. At 8 weeks he shocked me again with sleeping 12 hours a night. How did we get lucky to have two kids that have always slept through the night.

I think Jess has him beat on the rolling over. Although they did first roll over on the same month (4 months), he just refuses now to do it. He rolls to his side, but says FORGET IT about rolling over. He doesn't mind if you do it for him, but he won't do it himself. Lazy Male! I wonder how he'll compare with the other milestones... sitting up, crawling, walking. He has her beat with the farting and burping... typical male.

Oh well, it was a long day.
