My baby!

So apparently this baby that we are growing isn't our baby it's Kennedy's baby. Yes she actually informed me the other day WHILE she was lifting my shirt up over and over again that in her words it's "my baby". She has made it very clear to me that regardless of all the hard work I've put into this baby it's not really for anyone else but HER. Actually, I think it's rather cute! She is going to be one heck of a big sister though.

With Halloween on it's way, we are preparing Kennedy for her role. She is going to be little red riding hood this year and we've bought her a classic fairytale book. Only we forgot that the story should be rated R. The wolf eats the grandma AND little red ridinghood and then the hunter comes and cuts the wolf open and pulls grandma and little red ridinghood out. Of course in the end they are alive and well, but for God's sake why do they make it so graphic and evil. I've forgotten all about these classic stories being insanely innapropriate for kids. So now when we read it to Kennedy we say that the wolf sends them to the closet and the hunter comes and rescues them. Atleast the pictures aren't evil looking though. She is going to make one CUTE little red riding hood though!

stuff

This week has been crazy for us! Well, mostly me. I worked four days this week which is rare and people at the school are just now finding out that I'm not an actual employee. It's kinda flattering though when someone tells you you should be. On top of that I've been sick and I could barely talk at school for a couple of days. I had to get my assistant to yell for me a few times because my voice had turned into a squeaky mouse. The class I sub in the most is probably one of the most challenging I have been in. There are multliple high needs kids in that room and only one assistant. Despite the fact that it drives the teacher nuts I'm glad that it's my friend taking on the challenge. I couldn't see anyone else do it and still like their job.

My pants are starting to get snug and it's irritating me because I shouldn't have this problem yet. I'm not even 6 weeks! So far I haven't gotten too sick and I'm hoping it stays that way. With Kennedy I was puking till four p.m. and I litterally couldn't stand up without getting sick. I couldn't even shower until the evening. I really hope I pass that up this time because with working and everything, I think it's going to be a nightmare. I've already warned the teachers to expect a puke bag in my hand at all times lol. I don't think they realize how serious I am though.

Kennedy has been a little stinker as usual and is giving me heck lately. Her newest thing is that I'm not allowed to stand anywhere near the potty or the bathroom when she's on it. I thought this didn't start till they were like 6? She tells me to "move" or "get out". And she has a very serious look on her face when she says it. It's like I should know that a two year old needs her privacy!

Her bedroom was recently painted by Grandpa and it has a Dora border around the room. She's obsessed with Dora so I guess that was a good pick for a theme. We have all of her bedding ready for her, but we are waiting for her actual bed. So far she hasn't tried to climb out of the crib again so we're ok for now.

oh and one more final note! I have a zit on my nose somewhere, but I can't see it!

baby on board!

Yes we're expecting number two sometime in late May or early June! Ha we're going to be parents of two kids! Now that will be some entertainment! So far I haven't felt very sick. Although, today was my first day feeling sick in the morning at work. Usually by the time I get to work I feel fine, but not today for some reason. Maybe it was a one time deal though. Let's hope anyways!

I'm opptomistic!

Finally I can say that our year is turning around for the better! I can't say much more than that, but I'm am beyond happy!

crazy momma

Kennedy is driving me nuts! She's as cute as they get, but the girl is too darn smart! She has once again gotten into my makeup, only this time actually tried to put mascara on. She had a nice black smear across her eyelid. She also decided to try some face lotion (which by the way costs 15 bucks) for a tiny tube. It was all over the sink, counter, floor, clothes, and of course her body. It was dripping from her arms onto the floor. Now I was in her room trying to organize her bookshelf and I heard the soudn of a empty lotion bottle being squeezed. I knew right away the little stinker had surprised me again. I think it's time to lock up the makeup. She even knows how to open the doors with a safety doorknob thing on it. The four year old I babysit can't even open those! On top of that she has been throwing fits when she doesn't get her way with everything! She wants me to sit on the left side of the chair and she wants to turn the light off. Okay, that's fine! But then she'll pretend like she's going to turn the light off only she stands there with her hand over the light switch and will not do anything. So of course I say ok Mommy will turn the light off and when I do she's pissed beyond belief!

On a cute note, she has learned how to say have it! She says "I want to habit mommy" it's the cutest thing! Any day now she'll be sneaking out of the house to meet up with Elijah next door! I'm sure that will go over well with Daddy! =) Actually forget about Daddy, Mommy is the one she'll run from lol.

fo shizzle

Today I went to the dentist to get my tooth fixed. The other day my tooth had chipped (actually it was a few weeks ago) and it's been starting to bug me. Not a lot, but every now and then when I'm eatin or just pushing on it it hurts. I know don't push on it right? Well, I was worried it might be getting infected so I figured I should go and get it checked. They made me do those stupid exray things where they jam a disc type thing in your mouth that's three times too big. I ended up only being there for mayb 30 minutes, but it seemed pretty quick. After I got back home I saw Kennedy, Maddox, Tavaris, and Nicholos playing in Kennedy's room and my cousin Tessa was trying to get the kids out. They were screeching in her new tape player/microphone Elijah gave her. I hate that stupid toy because it always makes that loud microphone is too close to the stereo sound. Anyways, they were having fun and Tessa was....well, probably not. Maddox ran out of the room screaming "that hurts". Eventually we took it away and I told myself I was going to give it back to Elijiah.
We went and checked out the apts my cousin is going to move into. She and her husband are going to be managers at this place. They are hoping to get caught up so that they are able to move out within a year. I seriously felt really bad for them because even though they don't have to pay rent, they do have to pay other bills and the apt is so tiny. A few hints of what is to come was left in the cupboards. Roach killer, a snake to declogg sinks, and a nasty plunger. The closet doors are so flimsy my cousins one year old almost took it off by pulling with one arm. It has baseboard heating and with two little ones that is going to suck. There's NO dishwasher...and again with two little ones that is going to SUCK! They have to pay 100 anytime they want to wash clothes. The only good points about it is their kitchen is a little bigger than their old kitchen and there's a really cool park within walking distance. I really hope they get rich fast so they don't have to stay there long. I know with one kid it wouldn't be easy. She's going to be watching Kennedy this school year if my mom gets a job too so I hope the three kids in that small house isn't too much.

babysitting and stuff

So for the past two weeks I've been babysitting a four year old. He's quite interesting to say the least. He's a pretty good kid, but omg 4 is WAY harder than two in the sense that he NEVER STOPS TALKING!!!!!!! I am so not looking forward to that. Today he was telling me what to do, how to do it, and why to do it. I pretty much heard this all day "Why are you driving that way?" "Go faster! You can go now" "Where are we going?" "Why are we going there?" "pass that car" "that car is going fast cause a cop is after them" "look that's where Daddy works" "See that big garbage" and that was just in the car. Imagine what it's like at home! I took them to this indoor play park today which I knew he would just love, but when we got there he started crying because he wanted to go to the park. I told him he'll love it here and that Kennedy really likes it so we have to let her play atleast. He didn't do anything for 10-15 minutes and then I asked him again "you don't want to play?" He told me "no". I told him he was being a grouch and that seemed to motivate him to play. It was pretty funny that he was pretending to not be interested in something you could tell he really wanted to do. Sometimes he will try to talk back to me, but luckily I still have my own tricks to get cooperation from him. If it wasn't for teaching I really don't think I would know how to deal with him lol. He's really a sweet boy though. Most 4 year olds I've been around get annoyed with Kennedy because she's so in your face. Luckily he seems to enjoy her most of the time. Although, he doesn't like it when she pulls his hair to wake him up lol, but I can't blame him for that! Anyways, I'm tired and we have to wake up early. Night!
