Castle Chaos: November not professional pictures...

Every now and then I up load the pictures from my cell.

Since my kids are so fast, often I catch the best moments on my cell.

We've taken a little break from potty training and will resume in the new year.

But it has been interesting so far.

Jaxson will pee everywhere with out a second thought but

Poop he will proudly tell me is on its way.

"Oh no Mommy Big Poopy is a coming"

ok Jaxson lets get on the potty.

Every time he is traumatized.

Every time.

But I will take it.

We have moved onto only getting poopy prizes and M&M's.

So when Bella saw Jaxson's prize (a little fishing pole)

She went yelling ....

"Poopy is a coming... Poopy is a coming out of me right now"

Yup that little stinker went right in and squeezed poppy out on demand.

Now I realized that Bella is completely ready.

Some of you are shaking your head and saying what is she waiting for.

All I have to say is I just got done having to visit every single bathroom in every store I go into.

Kylie just got out of that stage.

I can actually run to target and a few other stores and not see every rest room.

Some may call me lazy and that may be true.

In all seriousness, what's the rush?

Unless you have two at the same time to potty train, don't judge me.

Bella loves her hats.

Lukas visit

A few Cell pics from our Beach trip in Oct.

Out to dinner.

Jaxson was obsessed with the band.

He loved the guitar and the drums.

He went right up to the band and the leader let him look and see his guitar.

He loves music.

Ice Cream at Broadway at the Beach

Our last day we were going to have a picnic at the pool.

The wind had other plans.

We ended up moving our picnic and not staying at the pool.

Bella is a very serious PB&J eater.

She eats almost everything very neatly but PB&J is not one of them.

This stroller has been through a lot.

At some point it is going to give out.

For now it gives hours of entertainment.

Sometimes they fight their nap time.

Usually it ends up like this.

Sometimes I never know what I will find when I open their bedroom door.

Minnie and Mickey sleeping and empty beds.

We've had a few milestones that I think may have gotten over looked.

We've been slowly weaning Jaxson from he burpers.

The dentist suggested we cut them smaller and smaller.

Finally on November 2nd they were so small that I just simple said

"Jaxson these are so little and yucky how about you be a big boy and lets throw them away?"

To my surprise he said "OK"

and went straight to the garbage.

He only asked for them once or twice at nap time a few days after but I just said

"your a big boy now and you don't need that yucky thing."

They were getting really small. Every time I washed them I had to cut off the rough edge.

You are always welcome to stop by our Zoo for a visit

BUTT

Be warned you may see naked babies or baby butt!

We don't always mind out time outs.

Sometimes Mommy wants to be sent to her bed for time out.

This is the reason for that time out.

Bella is a must sit on the big potty, not the baby potty chair.

However she also likes to unroll the paper.

Again you can visit but be warned you may find a re-rolled wad of TP in our restroom.

My Mini ME

I never know what I will walk into in the morning or after nap time.

We always start with a clean room.

I actually emptied their sock drawers and put them in bins in their closet.

I got sick of matching pairs of socks everyday.

Sometimes I just go into their bedrooms to see them sleeping.

Just so I can remember how adorable they are when they are not empting out the sock drawer.

Sometimes I find this in the morning.

Recently I have moved the nightstand you see in this picture into our hallway.

At nap time I over heard a conversation and stepped in right on time.

Bella: "OK Yacksin, ready, one, two, three...."

(thump, thump, thump)

Jaxson: (giggle giggle)

Bella: "Again Yacksin, ready, one, two, ready set..."

Mommy walked into Jaxson standing on his Choo Choo bed jumping off.

They were using the nightstand to climb up onto the top of his train bed and jumping.

Out of fear of them climbing and falling on the nightstand, I removed it for a while.

and some of you all judge me for putting them in car seats to take naps.

At least they are safe.

After the nightstand incidents,

They get one chance to stay in bed for nap time.

If they get out of bed I will strap them into my extra car seats (which I now keep in their room).

It's not all that different than the days I have to get Aiden and Kylie from school.

On Mon, Wed & Fri I will leave my house at 2pm and sit in carpool lane until 3:45pm waiting for Aiden and Kylie.

J & B take their naps and I get to read or knit.

It's a win, win.

They are so stinking cute.

November 13, 2013

Bella went into Dr Roberts for her routine visit.

Dr Roberts found astigmatism.

Dr Roberts insured me that this has nothing to do with her Strabismus.

This is in our Genes.

Webbs, Forstners & Baxters all wear glasses.

And I have astigmatism.

We tried on a few different pairs.

We loved the pink ones.

When we had to leave our new glasses behind, Bella was not happy.

The glasses lady didn't ever have a reaction like Bella's and felt so bad that Bella loved her glasses so much she gave Bella a new princess glasses case.

It only took 4 days for Bella's new glasses to come in.

She was so excited to go pick them up.

On Oct 30th we took Kylie to the dentist to have a few cavities filled.

We were shocked to find out that she had so many.

Since we were never able to get bite wing x-rays we didn't know she has small cavities between her teeth.

On appearance and if you looked in her mouth I could only see one small cavity.

We didn't know she had several small cavities hiding between her teeth.

Even though the medicine they gave her in the office made her sleepy and dopey.

It didn't do the trick.

We left the office with the same amount of cavities and another appointment

for dental surgery.

Her cavities had to be filled at the children's hospital under local anesthesia.

On November 15th we headed out for Kylie's dental surgery.

She was really brave.

They gave her liquid medicine to take and while we waited for it to take effect

Kylie got to draw on her bed sheets with markers.

Mommy and Daddy helped her make a beautiful picture.

and draw Kylie.

She got to decorate her "mask" and pick a scent to smell.

While she was decorating her mask the medicine kicked it.

(Mommy asked if she could have some of that nice calming medicine to go)

After they were all done she was really sleepy.

During her surgery Kylie even lost another baby tooth.

(actually Mommy told them while your in there grab it- Mommy is brave and can handle a lot of kid messes. Mommy can handle almost anything, pee, poop, puke, BUT pulling teeth in not on that list. Pulling teeth grosses Mommy out)

Our Sweet, Sweet Baby

Kylie and Daisy both had an IV bandage, just like Bella and Minnie when Bella had her surgery.

Red Ice Pop in Daddy's car.

New Rainbow loom Surgery Prize.

Our new Caps.

Which were a little scary at first but now we are used to them.

While Mommy and Daddy were with Kylie,

J & B hang out with Grammy and Grampy.

They didn't take a nap for Grammy or Grampy.

As a special treat for Kylie we had a Pizza Party in Mommy and Daddy's room for Dinner that night.

Bella didn't make it through dinner.

She went Night Night in her Pizza.

Then I got her up and put her PJ's on and she woke up to find Jaxson stole her juice and drank it.

Jaxson has an evil laugh that we call the Pee Wee Hermon laugh.

"Haaaa Ha" (in a Jaxson high pitch pee wee hermon voice)

He usually ends his evil deeds with his evil laugh.

(I'll try to get that on video-it's too stinking cute)

Kylie had such a long day she fell asleep right after dinner at 6:30pm.

We carried her into bed but didn't forget to put her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy.

The tooth fairy left another gold coin and a silver half dollar.

Mr Jaxson in his baby Mommy beater shirt.

Jaxson is my hide and seek boy.

The problem is he is always hiding and I am always seeking.

Ya never know where you may find him.

Bella in her new glasses.

Another interesting find after nap time.

Yup those are all Bella's tights tied everywhere.

Now Bella's tights are in Mommy's dresser.

This was an interesting day.

We were getting ready to leave and get Aiden and Kylie and I lost Jaxson.

Yup I let them out of the gate and said go sit on the stairs, get your shoes on and wait for Mommy.

I finished going potty and when I got to the front door Jason was gone.

Now I do have child locks on the front door and the garage door.

Thankfully I knew he was still inside.

With Bella sitting calmly on the stairs with shoes on waiting and giggling,

Mommy panicked.

Went crazy looking everywhere in the house, yelling his name and to come out, asking Bella where is he (with her still giggling), yelling this is not funny, where's Mommys big boy.

Then thinking someone could have come in and took him.

Just before I about lost it with tears... Bella says "I know where Yacksin is Mommy."

Then she points under the dining room table.
