Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I've always wanted to do one of these kind of posts, about how crazy moms are. It's way better to get it all out in the open, instead of pretending like we have it all together. So when I saw that McMama did this Not Me, Monday's where mommas in the blogging world, admit to their imperfections, I had to join. So don't judge me, just laugh about it!
When I was on the phone with my dear mother this week, I did not click over to receive a phone call from my sister-in-law and remember 30 minutes later that my dear mother was still on the other line! No, Not me!
I did not absentmindedly let my three year old peak into the stall of an unsuspecting peeing Kohl's customer! I would NEVER let that happen!
In that same bathroom trip to Kohl's, I would never forget to put wipes in my purse. Just in case my 2 year old being potty trained, would pull down her pull-up with poop in it to try and go potty by her self. I would not let her smear poop on the potty and up and down her legs and then forget to bring wipes. And I would definitely not yell at my other three children in a public restroom! No, Not me! Can you imagine what the people outside of the bathroom thought was going on in there!
I did not pretend like I didn't understand what my husband was talking about when he woke me up last night to tell me our five year old threw-up in bed, so I wouldn't have to clean it up. No way, No, Not me!
I would absolutely never, ever let my five year old brunette and 3 year old red head, climb over our fence into our neighbors yard. Of course I would assume that they could push their slide up to the wall and into the neighbors yard to play with their kids! NO, NOT, ME!
Josh "supervising".
Three girls can get a lot done, when they put their mind to it.
We found lots of rolly pollies under the leaves and rocks.
Olivia with another rolly polly on her shovel.
Our temporary inside containers. We can plants these straight into the ground when it's time.
We added water to these pellets and they turned into dirt. Pretty cool.
We are starting with tomatoes and these African daisies.
These were frozen hash browns, that you just put in the oven.
Fry an egg in butter.
Add a piece of cheese while the egg is cooking and then put it on top on toast.
Gosh I sound like a dork!
Because my husband thinks every meal needs meat, I added a piece of left over tri tip from dinner last night.
And added some salsa to the love of my life's breakfast sandwich.
Can you tell which red head this is? They are starting to look the same to me, too.
Since there is only one of me and four of them, I put them to work. Even Addy Mae has to pull her own weight! (Yeah right, she just likes to hold the broom.)
Laney is the best cleaner that we have. In fact, she got 5 dollars this week, because she helped both Josh and I clean. Olivia cleans when she wants to, and apparently felt she needed to help that day. Savanna was conveniently missing. I guess I'll give her a break, after all she's only two.
My handsome husband eating at the counter. Why is he eating dinner at the counter you say? Well we have a pretty cute dinner table that we bought when we only had two kids. And now our family doesn't fit at it anymore. He could of pulled up another chair, but we usually end up getting up thousands of times to hand out seconds and refill juice cups.
And espresso from our stove top espresso maker. With home made whipped cream on top of that, too.
Sometimes I let the kids play with water in the sink for fun! Just kidding. I was in the closet like a foot away. Turned around and saw them like this. My, they are sneaky! (These are Savanna's favorite jammies. I try to wash them everyday, because she asks for them every night.)
