When did he grow so fast?

Man, Oliver is hilarious. The boys are in the tub and I give Oliver his toothbrush.



Me: "Oliver, brush your teeth."

Oliver: "Whan too-paate Momma. Peeaas."

Me: "Okay, here ya go. Say thank you Momma." (Put toothpaste on his toothbrush.)

Oliver: "Tank-ooo Momma."

[Liam starts whining, wanting Oliver's toothbrush.]

Me: " Liam, you want a toothbrush too?" (Give Liam Justin's toothbrush.)

Oliver: "Miam whan too-paate too Momma."

Me: "No bud, Liam is too little for toothpaste. He can't have any."

Oliver: "Ollvr got toopaate, Momma."

Me: "Yes, well you are a big boy, Oliver and Liam is still too little."

Oliver: "No Momma, Ollvr a man."

Me: (Looking astonished and covered in water...) "Well then, excuse me. Oliver is a man."

Rough and Tumble







Things are in their places. It now feels like home. Once the floors are cleaned and toys are put away, after naptime, I will take some photos. But, for now, I am enjoying the best job of all. Being Mommy. So, the boys and I are out to the backyard (fenced!) for a little rough and tumble. Life is grand.

Alive


Guess what?! I am doing yucky 5 day old dishes right now! In my DISHWASHER! Oh and I am alive, surrounded by boxes. Well actually it isn't too bad. Both of the kids rooms are done and the kitchen and bathroom and living room are done. I just have our bedroom and the dining room and office. Moving is exhausting. I lost 7 pounds! I have discovered unknown strength! I moved the entire desk by myself upstairs into a different room! I put together our solid wood bookshelf! I moved an armour larger than myself across a room! I figured out the drill! I killed a spider by myself! I am growing up. Aww. Justin got me a surprise on Father's day. I show that later. I will post photos when it is all done later this week.
