Are you freaking kidding me that Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert in American Idol??!?!?! The wrong person won. I'm annoyed.

My Cullen, Eating.
This is Cullen's first time eating food. It was organic rice cereal with organic bananas. So, I got a new highchair for Cullen. It's the Precious Planet series from Fisher Price. Notice the little brown monkey on the right hand side of Cullen's head. Late at night when I walk through the kitchen that dang monkey scares the poop right out of me because I think I have forgotten the baby in the seat! Or when I walk through during the day I think there is a short person hiding behind the high chair with their head sticking out! It's a cute chair though and has lots of perks. And it's not Evenflo. I could do a whole blog on the awfulness of the Evenflo brand. It's cheaply made. It's just plain garbage. I'll save the rest of that rant for another day.
I am planting more in my garden this year. And I'm mapping it out this time so I don't have to guess what is going to pop up where.
Also, I have great mother's day stories to tell.

Funny Mom Thing
In honor of mother's day here is a funny little thing my friend, caleb, put up on facebook! Hilarious! I only hope that my mom doesn't decide to do this!
The Broom and I
My children outnumber me four to one. I can only sweep my kitchen floor twenty times a day before I decide it’s just a stupid waste of energy. I can only yell and bark orders so many times before I just give up and hide in the office hoping when I come out the house will be in order and smelling fresh.
Uncle! Mercy!
To make myself feel better I’m writing a list of what I plan to do to my children’s homes when I visit them, which will be often and for several weeks at a time.
1. I will pee all over the toilette seat and heck, maybe on the floor and if I’m still agile enough I’ll aim some at the wall and I will never flush the toilette, ever. Or wash my hands.
2. I’m going to spill every beverage I’m handed on the counter top and then to be helpful I’ll use every paper napkin available to clean it up then leave the soggy napkins to dry so they are glued permanently to the Formica.
3. I’ll drop my clothes in the bathroom, the living room, the kitchen, the foyer, the porch, the basement and leave a few socks in their car.
4. I’m going to pack the largest suitcase I can find with five bazillion Legos to drop in the toilette, the sink and in the fireplace. I’ll sprinkle them in the yard, chuck a few in the garage and then like a flower girl I will promenade through the house and lightly dust every room with a covering of colorful plastic, oh the glee.
5. I will bring with me an entire tube of toothpaste and on the last day I’m at their house I will brush my teeth and then smear toothpaste in the sink on the floor, the mirror, the tub and I’ll rub some in the carpet with my foot and then toss the empty tube in a drawer without the cap.
6. I will take all their DVDs and CDs and put them in the wrong cases, and leave a few empty.
7. I’ll hide all their remotes and cordless phones. And remove all the batteries.
8. I’ll go into their closets and try on all their shoes and then throw them out of the closet in a big pile when I’m done.
9. I’ll open every packaged food item and then leave it open and place it precariously on the edge of the shelf in the pantry so when they open the door the bag will tip out and spill the entire bag of chips, cheerios, nuts, pretzels and what have you all over the floor.
10. I will use every towel they own.
11. I will offer to sweep up some of the spilled pantry items and then dump the dustpan into their car.
12. I’ll hold a handful of Hershey kisses in my hands until they’re all nice and gooey and then I will finger paint the windows, just cuz.
13. I’ll stand in one spot, preferably their bedroom and hold the trigger of a full can of wretched smelling Lysol until it fizzes out, leaving the fumes to cascade around the room for days.
14. I’ll offer to do their laundry and then dump it all in their closet.
15. I’ll hide half eaten Oreo cookies under all the couch cushions.
16. I’ll accidentally break one precious thing or maybe two.
17. I’ll smear honey on all the door knobs.
18. I’ll cry, whine and act sick if they ask me to help clean up.
19. I’ll beg for all my friends to come over when I’ve got the house looking really ripe.
20. I’ll look around and swear repeatedly that the house doesn’t look that messy.
and then I’ll line them up, give them a hug, a kiss and wave goodbye, until next time….

Easter
I don't know what's been going on with my blogspot but, any pictures or videos that I post are always in html anymore and I can't put captions with them! Is anybody else having that problem? Sucks. So these are pics from easter. you can kinda see my paint colors in a couple of them. the one with Dan and Vicki in it has the green i used and the others have the "posh red" that I used. I also will be adding a vintage gold I think....anyway, I'll put better pics up when I'm totally done.
Lauren and her friend Donald came to visit us from Salt Lake for easter. They brought Sophia who we all just love to pieces! Lauren is preggo with another kid that is due in November. We also had the Easter bunny come and visit us a couple of days before Easter! The kids were thrilled! It was Vicki and she brought treats for the kids. Liam and Asher wouldn't say or do much when she was here but as soon as she left they were on the lookout and couldn't quit talking about the bunny! Cedric said that must be a magician in a bunny suit because it disappeared in 5 seconds flat!

Cedric's Accomplishment
I'm going to post some pictures of our living room, dining room, and kitchen, here soon. Today though I am going to post some videos of Cedric learning to ride his two wheeler. He's been kind of afraid to do it and finally he just was ready to do it.

By the way....
I painted my living room and dining room. Today we're going to try to finish and hopefully get part of the kitchen painted as well.

quick note
k, so the night before my dad died, I signed up to become a Close to my Heart scrapbook consultant. Mostly to get a discount on my scrapbooking supplies. I've decided to just sell all my scrapbook stuff. I never have the time for it anyway and it is cluttering up my life and my house. I do really enjoy scrapbooking but, I am going to be realistic here and focus on my other hobbies. I've decided on digital scrapbooking instead. I will let you all know later which digital thing I do.
This is all part of something greater. I've been learning a lot about different things that have changed my perspective on my life and how to tackle it! It's awesome! I feel so empowered and positive!! Which is a change for me.
If you want to know more you can ask, it's a conversation probably suited best for in person though.
So, Jeremy will have a presence now in the Keokuk area. Our store I mean will have a presence. He has a good friend that just opened an i-wireless store and she will be selling our computers and taking service calls for us as well. It's really great!
Oh crap...see I have something else to do right now. I will try to finish this post later. Aye, yi, yi!
