They Drive Me Crazy.....Yet I Love Them!

Let me just give you a preview of what I mean by the title:


GINNY First off, my daughter Ginny absolutely LOVED our trip to Lagoon back at the beginning of the month. She talks about it constantly. The rides, the fun, the food, etc... I guess she was running out of things to talk about relating to it.



This morning: "Mom, how many times did I go to the bathroom while we were at Lagoon?" Why would I remember that?!!!

ASHER Later in the day, I catch Asher in the fridge eating mini M&Ms. I pull him out and shut the fridge door. A few minutes later I catch him in the pantry eating rainbow sprinkles. So, I try to be a good mom and decide to make some caramel apples for him and put those things on them for him. I get out the caramel and start melting it. He can't keep his hands off the caramel. Loves eating it. I get out the different candies he likes for rolling the apples in once they are caramel dipped. He can't keep his hands off the candy. I dip the apples and roll them in the M&Ms and sprinkles. I then let them set for a while. You think he would be thrilled. After it sets, I cut one apple up into slices for him to eat them. What does he do? HE EATS THE APPLE PART AND LEAVES THE CANDY-COATED SKIN!!!!!!!

LUCY Lastly, I don't read very often and this is why... My friend gave me a book to read today called, "A Long Way From Chicago" for book club this month. I was on page 1. Lucy came in the room saying, "book! book!" over and over until I read her "Good Night Moon". I read it once and she wanted me to read it two more times. After that, she said "done". I think, "okay, now back to my book". I then started reading page 2. Lucy came running in the room once again saying, "book! book!" I then had to read "Happy Baby Colors" to her. After we finished that one, I put her down and tried to start reading my book again. She again takes off to where all the books are again. It was then I threw my hands in the air and decided that reading was a bad idea.

If you are wondering, all 3 of these pictures are when they were each 9 months old. That's when they all looked the most alike before they each got older and took on more of their own identities. All crazy kids, but I love 'em!!

They do look a lot alike! Wow! I'm sorry they drive you crazy sometime but I must admit that it makes me feel better that I'm not the only mom that gets driven crazy! :) Gotta love the kiddies! Ginny and the bathroom one is my fav I think.

I love the 9 month photos! I also love the idea of this post - my kids are always doing little thigs like this that just make you go GRRR! If I'm not already reading to him, Miles is usually walking around crying with a book in his hands until I read to him!

Carly your family is so cute. I was thinking about you and decided to check out your blog. It's been awhile and it looks like you've done fun things. Hawaii looks awesome! I'm so glad you got to go.

I understand how you feel Carly! My kids can drive me nuts sometimes, but there so dang cute you can't be mad at them! Ginny and the bathroom question sounds like something Madi would say to me...what in the world makes them even think to ask those kind of questions?:)LOL. They are all so cute in their 9 month picts. (and wow it's amazing how much they all look alike!)
