Not for the weak of stomach...

I am finally getting caught back up. Josh thought it would be a good idea for me to start waking up when he does instead of staying up late at night to get caught up, so we would be on the same schedule. It's hard. I applaud him for working so hard for our family, so I can stay at home with the kids... It is not easy to wake up at 4:30 and 5:30 every other day... I like to wake up with the sun, not in the dark!!! I am really proud of him.
Anyways, that change has helped me get more done. While the kids are still asleep, I am able to get the laundry done and the checkbook balanced and the bills paid, and most importantly the blog caught up :), all uninterrupted, which is nice. Now I just have to find time to train Hoover. Anybody have any good dog training tips?
Ok-- so, Tuesday... We came home after school and I was busy in Harper's room and I saw her kind of sneaking into the bathroom and she was rubbing her hands together. I asked "What is that on your hands?" and she looked away... I started walking towards her and asked again... "Poop" she said. She had stuck her hands down the back of her poopy diaper and had fist fulls of poop... stinky, nasty poop... oh my. After I gagged a few times-- and I have developed a very strong stomach and gag reflex over the past few years, but this one was awful-- the way she was squishing it around her fingers, UGH!! So, I held her up to the sink and squirted soap in her hands and made her rub most of it off. It was still under her finger nails, and in the crevices of her cuticles and in between her fingers, so I had to just do it myself and clean it. After washing with antibacterial soap, which I felt wasn't strong enough, I broke out the germ-x and we both used up a gallon of that. I feel as though we are now disinfected. So, I changed her diaper and she got a lecture about why we don't do that and she said "well, I just wike it..." Whatever that means... Later in the day I smelled the same poop smell again and saw a diaper laying in the floor and saw Harper, whose butt was dirty and she'd pooped and taken it off and was walking around with a dirty rear! At least she didn't sit down.... So, once again, I put a towel down, and cleaned her, then put her in the bath, then cleaned up the diaper. It is SO time for her to potty train, she refuses to poop in the potty though.... I am going to lose my mind.
Tuesday was also mom and Kara's birthdays. ~~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND KARA~~~ even though neither of you read this... Mom has had a really bad toothache and had foot surgery; so our plans of going out to dinner were foiled. I cooked dinner and had dad and mom and grandmom and kara come over and eat. After we were finished, Harper and Juddson put on an exercise show for them. Harper does leg kicks and booty shaker, but she's made up some new "ex size dances". She'll jump and punch and all kinds of cool stuff :) Judd got into it too. He mimicked her for a while, then the layed on the floor on his belly with his hands out in front of him and started lifting his butt up and down. We finally realized he was copying Josh's push ups (that Josh has been doing every night) and it was HILARIOUS!!! I wish I had a video camera~
That was all the adventure I can remember from Tuesday.
On the way to school Wednesday morning, Noah looked at me and said "Mommy, you have sparkle eyes." Ahh, how precious is that? What a nice compliment!!! He's big into making "new friends" on his Wii, I guess they are really called Mi's, but he's got about 75 friends that he creates, plus everyone we know has one. And, on the Mi he made for me, he made my eyes with sparkles in them-- I wonder how he sees me... I think it's really neat though. Yesterday, we ran out of time and didn't get to do it, but he is wanting to make a "friend" of Grandmom-- this should be interesting....
Judd is talking so much... I can't get over it, he can communicate anything he needs too. His thing right now is, when I say "Judd, are you poopy?" He'll say "Hoppa" and I will say, "Harper's poopy?" he's says "uh huh." and then I ask again..."Judd.... are you poopy?" and he'll say "woewa"... and I say "Noah's poopy?" and again, he says "uh huh!" it's so funny... He's a big tattle tail too, have I mentioned that? He'll run to me crying and point "Woewa!" and I will say "what did Noah do" and he'll say "hit" or "boo boo" or something like that... Gotta get 'em ready for school... Pics coming soon... I did add the Christmas pics, but you'll have to scroll down, I kept them in chronological order.
