Cub Scouts are insane. We went to this holiday party last night for Curtis's Cub Scout pack, and they are all a bunch of little maniacs. MANIACS. The evening ended in an interesting way, though. Everyone had brought in new packs of socks, and at the end of the party everyone balled up the socks and had a snowball fight with them. Curtis was up at the front line throwing, using some really cool sound effects! Supposedly they are giving the socks to charity now.
The pack leader was using this microphone since all the maniacs scouts were so so loud, and Susannah decided to stand in the middle of the room and shout baby talk at the scouts. I guess she thought the scouts could use a little shaping up :D

Whew, I finally got my actual site up. It's really, really simple, but it does the job.
Check it out and let me know what you think. If there are any glaring errors or anything that just doesn't look good, tell me!

04:42 pm - Hmmm
I want to be the kind of mother who bakes bread every day, never has papers piled on her counters, and never, ever finds shriveled Ramen noodles stuck on the couch. I want to be the kind of mother who feeds her kids chickpea salad with brown rice and spinach for lunch, and they actually eat it with a smile.
I realized that I am striving to be the kind of mother that I am not. Sure we eat healthy (most of the time), and our meals get liberal doses of flax seed, even though I am the only one who knows it :)
But I realized today that I am not nearly as 'crunchy' as I thought I was when I bribed my 3 year old and 15 month old with Pop-Tarts just so I could have five minutes with no screaming.
Later, I was feeling a little better about my mothering skills after 10 sets of Ring-Around-the-Rosies, 1 of Hokey-Pokey, numerous Pat-a-Cakes, etc. While I was singing about that idiotic spider for the 121st time of the day, Susannah casually reached down and plucked a piece of Pop-Tart off of her pants and popped it into her mouth. Wow, my mood was blown. Not only did I give my kids Pop-Tarts, but I obviously don't clean them very well either.
Then, Lydia brought me her little Doodle Pad so that I could see what she'd drawn.
'Look, a booger!!!!!!!!!' (I swear she said it with that many exclamation points). 'I love boogers, Mom.' She said this with so much love that I was afraid my status had been usurped by some dirt and dried mucous.
I guess my point is that I will never be the kind of Mom I REALLY want to be, because that's just impossible. But my kids make it really fun. I just need to remember that the next time Lydia zips by me with nothing on but a pair of underwear and a laundry basket over her head.

08:52 pm - Cut
Did a friends cut. I hope noone minds - it was nothing personal, I just need a little more private space.

Susannah turned one year old on Friday, and we had a party for her yesterday. She had a really good time, I think. She blushed when everyone was singing happy birthday, and she was quite pleased with the cake.

08:23 am - Penis, Anyone?
Can anyone give me pointers on how to convince a toddler girl that she does not, in fact, have a penis like her big brother?
Current Mood:  amused

So this will be my last post for probably a couple of weeks. My work computer is what I use at home, and I have to turn it in today. Actually, I have to turn in two laptops, two docking stations, one monitor, a keybord, a few mice and several power cables. But anyway.
I'll check LJ and comment as often as I can, so please don't take me off of your lists!
Current Mood: kind of sad :(
