Harper's preschool and swimming

Harper Jane and the rest of us went to visit First United Methodist preschool this week. She (and the boys) loved the classroom and I enjoyed meeting the director. My main concerns of safety were put to ease and I feel like Harper would really enjoy the program there. She will be starting Tues/Thurs school in Aug. Judd said "wha 'bou me?" and wants to go too...

Harper swam under Daddy's bridge, under water-- like Noah, he belly was almost to the bottom of the pool and she held her breath for a long time-- we have some good swimmers... unlike their mother.

The other Day, I was quizzing Harper.. "where do we live?" Harper says "Smort Smith"
"Right, now what street do you live on?" Harper says that right. I asked her her mommy's name, she got it right... then her daddy's. "Ummm, Daddy?" I said "No, his other name" She thought a minute and I could tell she didn't have it, so I gave her a hint and said "what does mommy call him?" she smiled and said "stinker". A few days after this we pulled up after exercise school and his truck was here and she said "stinker's home."

The boys are doing well also. Noah is really into "kiss you" right now and kisses me a million times a day (especially when he thinks I am upset with him for something) I guess he needs a kiss to reassure him we are best friends.

Judd's big thing is "hold me pweeze....on da couch" and points where I need to go. He loves puppy dogs and usually carries around a few of the stuffed animals. You know how he's into boxing... well, I found a $3 shirt at Walmart with a boxer puppy on it, holding a pair of boxing gloves in his mouth and it says "boxer in training"... well, being Judd's 2 loves, and only $3, I had to get it for him. I put it on him last night and he did his voice "Ohhh so cute!" he said. I gotta record that, it's hilarious, he wrinkles up his nose and says it in a deep voice.

Anyways, we went to church lastnight-- trying to get started in Wed. night church again. Noah got an award for being a good listener! Yeah Noah!

Weekly update

I need to post more regularly... I go thru spurts of posting a lot and then not posting. Josh is in bed and the kids are all playing nicely together. The kitchen is cleaned and the table is wiped down....The kids are clean too, I just got out of the bath with HJ and Judd. Harper is low on Iron again, which worries me. She is "so so so so tired." even after a 3 hour nap. She slept from about 6pm-6:30 this morning.
The boys especially are really into "water game" otherwise known as "wipeout" and watch it over and over. Judd loves the "big balls" and acts it out with his rubber ducks, or whatever toy he has at the moment.
While I am thinking about it, Judd holds his thumbs in between his next 2 fingers. He was doing it in the car today on the way home from Sam's and it's precious.
At Jessie's this weekend he "stole" a bowling set. He woke up this morning and put his hands out and said "where'd my bowling stuff go?" and went to find it.
Noah is really into hotwheels. The other day, he and I were together alone and I gave him a dollar bill and we went to Walmart and he picked out his own hotwheel and paid for it himself. Now, he thinks he needs one everyday.
Did I write about HJ helping me with laundry last week. For about 2 hours, she helped me sort laundry mountain into piles and she did a great job! "Girls panties, boys panties, Harper's clothes, Daddy's boxers, jammies, and wash towels."
I filed papers this morning. I found these notes that I don't know if I have posted or not, but they are from the past couple of months.
I said "Judd do you need to go pee in the potty?" Judd said "No, see, I got panties on."
We were in the car on the way home from exercise school and they were amazed that Addy had a Pa too. I was explaining to them that Pa was my dad and Pappa was Josh's dad and Noah said "And Wanna's yo mom?" and I told him "No, Nanna is Daddy's mom... Granny is my mom." He thought for a few seconds and said "wanna, gwanny, and mommy--- dose aw my girls." Awww. made me tear up and of course I had to call the other "girls" and tell them.
Harper asked me if she could watch the deer painting with bbq sauce on you tube and I turned it on for her and left the room. He ran back in the den and said "that deer scares me, it's fweakin' me out in dere."
A long time ago, several months, I told Harper she was being ugly (by how she was acting) and she said "I ugwee and pwoud."
I asked the kids if they wanted butter or cheese popcorn and Noah answered "chicken popcorn!"
Anyways, if those last stories are repeats, I am just sorry... I wasn't going to go back thru every post trying to find them.
And all 3 of them are here bombarding me.

July

The kids have been cracking us up lately. We have been trying to get them to sleep in Harper's bed every night, and our new routine is about 5 books, then Josh tells them a bedtime story, then I lay in there for a while and sing until they go to sleep. Well, they still don't really like it, and Noah always says he wants to go to mommy/daddy bed. The other night HJ and Judd were watching a show on the couch, and Josh and I were going to lay in bed and watch a movie... It was this weekend, and we were going to let them fall asleep on the couch watching shows. Noah came into our bedroom all wound up and excited and said "Hoppa and Judd sweep in Hoppa bed, Noah sweep in mommy daddy woom and watch a mommy/daddy show-- that's da pwan?" with his little hand held out to the side, it was precious... being that cute, he got his way and Harper and Judd watched a show on the couch and he laid in bed with us and watched a mommy/daddy movie and went to sleep.
We were waiting on Josh to take movies back the next night, sitting in the Walmart parking lot and Noah could see a Chicken Donalds far away. Harper was getting frustrated because she couldn't see it and said "you got some gwasses so I can see chicken Donald's too?"
Judd is still saying "Oh my dosh" the other day we were eating pancakes and he couldn't poke his with a fork and was getting frustrated, and Josh helped him get a bite, and with a big full mouth, he said "oh my dosh, daddy poke it!"
Judd saw a picture of Josh doing fireworks I was putting on the computer and said "dats so cool!"
If I ask him where his food went he puts his hands out and says "eat it aw dawn."
He calls Harper "harper janey" and always has to know where she is and what she's doing.
Harper has been wanting Miss Becky to come over and she said "where is Miss Becky?" and I said "I don't know where she's been..." and she said "Maybe she gots a pwobwem."
We were getting ready to leave for Stephanie's wedding yesterday and Harper said "Is daddy gonna come?" I said "No, not with us, Daddy's playing golf" and she said "Oh, dat daddy, he's always playin' golf." (He did go, we picked him up in Sallisaw)
That was a big trip... The kids were good on the way down. The church was huge and it was hard to keep up with them on the bounce around, trampoline, basketball courts, pool table, fountains and all that stuff... On the way home Judd cried for over an hour straight and Noah was telling Josh to drive faster and go home!

Today

Took all 3 of them to the dentist today-- they were incredible! It was Judd's first time, and he did SUPER! They all 3 just laid back on the tables, just like they were supposed to and held their mouths open. I just went from table to table checking on them and they were absolutely PERFECT. I was so proud. HJ even got x-rays by herself! Dr. Murphy bragged and bragged on them and their teeth! Yeah!
After that we went to chicken donald's and played and ate lunch for a treat. After that to Jennifer/Michelle's to drop off Noah, then to Nanna's bank so Harper and Judd could play. Glad to be home now.

The other day Harper said "I'm hiccing upping."
Judd has been saying "oh my dosh."
