<span style="color: purple;">
Ok, so it's been like 5 years since I have made a blog post.</span></h2>
That's not entirely true, I have written many blog posts than never got published because for the most part they were on more serious matters and not funny or cute or filled with pictures of my (now much older) kids. I have been using this space as more of an unpublished journal.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: purple;">
I feel obligated to get everyone caught up real quick.</span></h2>

Kendal is my spirit animal. She is the MOST creative human I have EVER met/ made. (more on that later) This is how she looks on the way to school. Because morning are dumb.<br />
The other child pictured has probably been awake for more than 7 minutes, likely ate breakfast, had her hair brushed, and followed the school dress code. She is our next door neighbor and one of Kendal's besties.<br />
<br />
Kendal is finally getting taller! Still chillin in the 1% for height/ weight. She likes it that way and plans to "stay small forever because being a grown up sounds AWFUL"<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's not wrong.</div>

Logan is a pre-teen. His brain is a hot rewiring mess of emotion, drama, excessive intelligence, worthless memes, and more recently the ability to site read any music in front of him on piano, drums, and harmonica.<br />
<br />
If you have or are about to have a preteen, PLEASE do yourself a favor and educate yourself about this ridiculous stage of development. I have many links if you want them, but<a href="https://www.upworthy.com/this-mother-s-description-of-her-tween-son-s-brain-is-a-must-read-for-all-parents?c=ufb1&fbclid=IwAR3IgsgKsyMybhibSXXN7sbs1hP0hA9UWcJCtR2kqi06TXTZ-OWFDI4Cy60"> this is a good one. </a><br />

I started a surprisingly successful<a href="https://www.facebook.com/happyplacetiedye/"> tie dye business</a> 5 years ago because mornings are dumb and so are bosses and rules and meetings. Plus I get to color ALL THE TIME.<br />
It so important to <a href="https://whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2013/02/do-what-you-like-like-what-you-do.html">do what makes you happy. </a>This makes me happy. The amount of happy it brings me could be it's own blog series. My sister in law suggested I do that.. she has her own blog. <a href="https://acceptingtheunexpectedjourney.com/">You should go read it.</a> :)<br />

Loopy is good, he is a software engineer at an awesome company that loves him and treats him like a human, which is a nice change from our previous, more scarring endeavours with his <a href="https://whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2012/10/best-news-ever.html">past employment. </a> He had a couple minor and only temporarily life threatening health issues in the last year but he is back to fighting with our dog for couch space. He still rocks out and is playing with a band that is finally starting to book gigs. Yay for that.<br />

Oh yeah, we inherited a dog. Raven was the ridiculously spoiled and only child of my good friend Nissa who passed away 3 years ago. I have written about her a few times over the years. <a href="https://whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2013/08/grown-ups-love-shenanigans-too.html">This was my all time FAVORITE post with my girl Nissa</a>.<br />

The REAL reason I was planning to blog today is because Kendal. Like I said, she is the most creative and quirky little person. Possibly in the world.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
No, really. She makes things. She draws things to make, She writes books, her brain is completely consumed with CREATING.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which I LOVE about her. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A couple months ago I was contacted by her teacher and the school therapist about concerns with her social skills and ability to stay focused. She is at a new school this year that we LOVE. So they don't "know her" like the other school. (Logan transferred here last year after deciding once and for all the regular public school doesn't work for him) I agreed that some intervention can't hurt, So she is pulled out of class every other Thursday to work on those skills in a small group setting. </div>
<br />
<br />
After talking to the therapist I expressed concern with her ability to keep up in a regular classroom environment, specifically in math. Her teacher agreed that she is having some trouble staying focussed. If something does not interest Kendal she frankly does not give a shit about it and will "go into her own head" as her teacher puts it. I contacted the school's ESE coordinator and let her know I would like to have Kendal tested for<a href="https://www.understood.org/en/community-events/blogs/what-i-wish-id-known-sooner/2017/04/25/8-things-i-wish-people-knew-about-parenting-a-child-with-dyscalculia?gclid=CjwKCAjwtYXmBRAOEiwAYsyl3JuRluLt8DEOfGmBlrMy7_8khT0Job_oCyCoCHB8vmByk44Q_xjwOBoC_esQAvD_BwE"> Dyscalculia</a>. Although I have never been diagnosed with Dyscalculia I have <a href="https://www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyscalculia/skills-that-can-be-affected-by-dyscalculia">every single symptom</a> and recognize the same struggles for Kendal.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: purple;">
Which brings us to today: </span></h2>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She does not qualify for an IEP (individualized education plan) or 504 (less "strict" IEP). Yet. The team that I spoke to today asked why we have not pursued this in the past. I let them know that her past teachers were fucking amazing and recognized her needs and supported her without written instruction. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Being at a new school I sort of wanted to see how Kendal would fly on her own so I stepped away from being the ALWAYS there parent. We have a</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> decent relationship with this teacher. She also steps up to help K on a regular basis, we just don't communicate as much I have in the past.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">Her previous teachers really have all been absolutely amazing with her, they each made sure that she has the support that she needs to stay on task and do well in school. And I LOVE THAT. I still talk to a couple of them on a regular basis. Sometimes we even get to hang out.<br /> I don't have pics with her with her 3rd grade teacher because they are too invovled in whatever they're discussing for photo-ops.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even though past teachers each spent good amount of one on one time with her, let her work in small groups, or gave her extra time on assignments. (All these things would actually be included in her IEP or 504 plan) Since nothing was technically documented until today, we have to start from the beginning because the IEP process and support is a tiered system.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;">
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been advised to discuss the possibility of ADD a</span>t her annual pediatric checkup<span style="font-family: inherit;">, which is a<a href="https://www.additude.com/adhd-symptoms-test-children/"> legit concern.</a> (Nearly ALL of those boxes on the quick test were checked.) Not so that we can medicate her, but so that we can officially get assistance if she needs it at school.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The ESE staff just requests that there be steps taken ahead of an IEP/ Dyscalculia type test such as discussing a potential delay or disability with her doctor. </span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So anyway, I signed papers stating that we want to start the process. Her teacher and school psychologist both suggested she be tested again for gifted. </span> (She was tested after kindergarten but was not focused on anything to proctor was saying)<span style="font-family: inherit;"> A lot of her qualities and quirks fall into the markers for gifted.. So that will also happen over the summer. </span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B56d0ZDGg3w/XMHbkg4CasI/AAAAAAAAP84/ceIbkMv72OklUmXxUMvCngsg11RstVLvQCEwYBhgL/s1600/MVIMG_20190303_133139.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B56d0ZDGg3w/XMHbkg4CasI/AAAAAAAAP84/ceIbkMv72OklUmXxUMvCngsg11RstVLvQCEwYBhgL/s320/MVIMG_20190303_133139.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I guess I didn't realize that her extreme right brained way of doing things also put her into The "gifted" category but it does make sense. In my head I associate giftedness with a more book smart type of intelligence. (like my OTHER super smart kid) It makes sense, she did start her own business.. which does quite well at music festivals and craft shows. </span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">

<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">So there you go. Yet another subchapter in the world of parenting. </span></h3>

Today's project: stripping and re-wrapping wires for the old LEGO Mindstorm sets.<br />
<br />
This did not work. Does anyone have a source to get new wires from 80's Mindstorms? The newer versions aren't compatible with the old version.<br />

Kids are having a rough morning. Logan woke up with an earache and a missing tooth (at 4:55am) Kendal was up at 8am with what appears to be pink eye. Off to the dr. We go!<br />

Toothless boy. Lost another one. I have no idea how many are missing at this point<br />
<br />
Maybe peanut butter and celery wasn't the best snack choice for a child with no teeth.. Oops.<br />

Back to the Dr, with Kendal. She has pink eye, sinus infection, and strep throat... and a sliver in her finger. She's been a mess of sadness since 5:30 this morning.<br />
Homemade chicken noodle soup is simmering. I bet this would help her.. you know, if she ate things like chicken noodle soup.<br />
<br />
MOM RANT: If there are so many different kinds of medicine that do the same thing why on earth did they:<br />
1. prescribe the expensive eye drops ($50 after insurance) that did NOTHING. Now I have some that I have to wrestle the new ones into her eyeball... 3 drops 3x's a day for 10 days.<br />
2. Give her some antibiotics that are roughly the consistency of chunky yogurt which she promptly spit all over my couch. (I tasted it, I would have done the same. Even with the bubble gum flavor) They happily said they'll call in a new antibiotic that isn't so vile. WHY NOT PRESCRIBE THAT FIRST!! Is it really necessary to make a sick kid more miserable?<br />

Logan: I must be Canadian because there is a Mt. Logan. I like mac n cheese, smoked sausage, and i find maple leaves extremely interesting.<br />
<br />
Logan thrashing around on the couch making random noises...<br />
Me: That's weird, Logan.<br />
Logan: It's not weird, back on my home planet. I mean Canada.<br />
Me: Wait, what?<br />
Logan: Oh my gosh, I'm so unusual. Never mind.<br />
<br />
Logan was teaching Kendal how to be a 'keyboard stand' using her feet while he played a song. She dropped it on her face. Now the kids are playing "smash n crash derby" That is where they run full speed at each other from opposite ends of the house. I'm so glad she's off the couch and feeling better. /eyeroll<br />

Logan fell asleep around 7:30 and skipped dinner. PLEASE tell me he's not getting sick. I don't want to deal with this all week. Kendal just headed to bed and said<br />
"I hope Logan is going to be feeling better tomorrow. He's a nice brudder"<br />
Every time he's sick he gets the blanket aunt Kris made for him when he was born and lays with it on the couch. He has requested a puke bucket. This is not a good sign.<br />

I love this kid. He is sleep talking to me. He was snoring away then sat up and was super excited to get his very own treasure chest to keep in a trench. Here he is telling me about an orange key he needed to open his bedroom...<br />

RHETORICAL MOM QUESTION<br />
Does anyone else have this problem? The house is completely quiet, everyone is content playing games on nick Jr or watching a show on netflix, headphones on and content. As soon as I try to read something online the Kendal suddenly needs a snack and her game stops working. When she starts to tell me this Logan starts to ask me a complicated question about radio frequency or some nonsense. My brain is still trying to comprehend what I just read. This makes me absolutely crazy and happens<br />
ANSWERS FROM VARIOUS FRIENDS<br />
<br />
~ALL THE TIME.<br />
<br />
<br />
~Anything that could possibly require ur attention other than them make them come to u like a magnet it is an interesting phenomenon that is infinitely more complex than radio waves lol<br />
<br />
~Kind of like how no one needs anything until the phone rings........and then it's 20 questions from each kid<br />
<br />
~All.the.time.<br />
<br />
~EVERYMUTHAFUCKINTIME!!!<br />
<br />
~ Story of my life<br />
<br />
~It's amusing. He will trick her into making food when he is not hungry just to give her something to do.<br />
<br />
Right because clearly we had NOTHING to do.... Thanks kids.<br />

We went to see a Roller Derby for the first time. (am I supposed to capitalize that? I feel like I should) The kids were super excited. For about 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Kendal took this picture and instagrammed it. They grow up so fast.<br />

This girl burst into tears when I asked how her day went. She said all the other kids had ice cream cones and all she wanted was an empty cone but they took it back when she didn't want ice cream in hers. $1.99 for a box of cones made her day better. she filled it with dried pineapple. Poor kid was so sad that they didn't understand.<br />

Ice cream Tuesday in north cul de sac. Chandler asked me to take a picture and post it to instagram... and he chose the filter. Kids these days <br />

The bonus of receiving a melted box of Tag-a-Long Girl Scout cookies in the in the mail is that when you put them in the freezer they turn into 3 or 4 giant multi layered cookies. This completely justifies binge eating a whole row at a time. They were stuck together, I had no choice.</div>

Sometimes I stay up until 4 am just to get a rant out of my head. Pretty sure I can't publish this one without the approval of the people mentioned. Eventually it will be public ... but man I feel better. I love writing.<br />
*Still has not been published. Don't bother looking for it. It was also one reason that I didn't blog all summer. I couldn't stop dwelling on it. I have forced myself to move on.<br />

I asked my FB friends to send me pictures of their kids' massive messes. I got quite a few and I'll use them in a blog later. (keep em coming) Then this happened.<br />
Heather, I'll see your pre-nap chip mess and raise you 1/2 box of rice on the floor and table during a homework measuring experiment.<br />

Why are there SO many Buddies movies. Air Buddies, Space Budiess, Soccer Buddies, Spooky Buddies, Santa Buddies. Seriously there are 12 of them according to the Disney website. Why make this many movies with such horrible acting and senseless plot lines. Even the dogs have stopped being cute. I wish there was a way to block these things from netflix. On tonight's to do list I'll be rating them all 1 star and hope they stop being offered<br />

When Logan was about 10 months old he nicknamed my brother Uncle Monkey (in sign language) so this is his thing now. Both kids have a stuffed monkey from him.<br />

Strange things I've said to my kids in the last 10 minutes:<br />
Kendal, please stop trying to feed rocks to the neighbors cat.<br />
<br />
Overheard them looking for scissors in the bathroom..<br />
Me: What are you two doing in the bathroom<br />
Logan: Nothing, Kendal's monkey just died, I have to fix his heart<br />
Me: She just got that, please don't use scissors.<br />
Logan: Its important! His heart is broken and we have to fix it. Kendal, close the door.<br />
Kendal, I can't. I'm in the waiting room. Its dark.<br />

If Logan keeps pissing off his sister like this today he's gonna get his ass kicked before lunch.... and not by me.</div>

Logan got in trouble for yelling at us several times that day. I sent him to bed early because he screamed about doing his chores. He won't talk to me calmly face to face... but he is writing me notes under the door. Seems silly but this has turned out to be a constructive conversation about respect.<br />

The previous night's conversation about epic meltdowns did not work. He has been yelling about chores for 30mins. At this point I am hoping the neighbors don't call the police because he's freaking out so loudly. Who knew brushing his teeth would be so traumatic. It should also be noted that "EVERY time he has a good day it gets RUINED!!! " Usually by me.</div>

Kendal graduated from Pre-K. This was a pretty LONG ceremony that involved a wardrobe change. My phone is crap and I haven't located the camera pictures yet. Anyway. Here ya go. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, I get that your kid is awesome and special but it is just rude to sit in the front row and hold up an IPAD for the whole ceremony. Then get right down there on the front step for pictures with said IPAD. </div>

This morning Logan was all kinds of upset because he couldn't find the wii remote. He tore up the couch cushions, looked under the furniture, in all the drawers. behind the entertainment center.. and was super frustrated. When dad got up to help him it was sitting right on the ottoman in plain sight. his response: "But mom always tells me to look HARDER!!!" </div>

One More Day of school!! I jumped out and yelled that at Logan when he walked in the door but it scared the hell outta him and he almost peed his pants, then cried. Ooops.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I sat down and stumbled across <a href="http://www.hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-child-test/">this fun little quiz.</a> Yeah. He got all but like one on the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Good News: Kendal was super sad and tired this morning but cheered up when I told her its the last day of school and she can sleep in all she wants for 2 whole months<br />
Bad News: Her teacher told me this morning that they have school on Friday to meet the hour requirement for VPk<br />
SON OF A.....<br />
<br />
On the way home from school Kendal told me that a kid in her class was teasing her and said she looks like a ghost. She said it hurt her feelings and they don't think that she's beautiful. So me and Logan listed all the beautiful things about her. Her hair, her smile, her laugh, her face, her, silliness, her arms, feet, legs.. as we were listing things she was checkin' herself out and touching her hair, face, legs ect. Then I said my favorite part is her beautiful personality. She looked around all frantic cause she couldn't find her personality. Logan said it was in her brain. She said "Well good, that is stuck in my head so it can't ever go away or change"<br />
Love her!!<br />
<br />
*I inquired about this to her teacher and she misunderstood a game they were playing where they were playing tag and the person who was "it" was a ghost. She did not want to be a ghost.<br />

Told her to go upstairs and put some clothes on. She came down with painted fingernails and jewelry. Why? Cause she couldn't find her elephant slippers. Oook<br />

Fun Fact: If you subject your furby to 2 hours of care bears singing "If you're happy and you know it" and "Ring around the rosie" it will turn into a passive aggressive punk with flames for eyeballs. It also head bangs.<br />
<br />
Kendal just came out of her room carrying 2 blankets, 1 fur-real guinea pig,1 giant dinosaur, and 2 water bottles<br />
Kendal: mom, why haven't you gone to bed?<br />
Me: I have some things to do yet, like pack your lunch for tomorrow, why?<br />
Kendal: you seem tired.<br />
Me: were you just hoping to come sneak into my bed?<br />
Kendal: yeah. Its warm.<br />
Me: where are you going to put ALL that?<br />
Kendal: in bed with us.<br />
Me: Nope.<br />
Nice try kiddo. Put her back to bed.<br />

Mom-ism of the day (yeah, they happen) This evening Logan offered to give me a ride to the neighbors on his Flash Rider 360 (like a big wheel that shoots sparks out the back) So to be 'cool mom' I got on the back like I've done before and gave him a little push. He took of across the cul-de-sac and tried to jump the curb. We stopped short and I went head first in a spectacular flailing somersault over the handle bars. Now I have road rash on my chin and arm. He felt REALLY bad. </div>
<div>
Ouchies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kendal-ism of the day:</div>
<div>
Kendal while taking a bath: Mom, I'm going to make you butterfly juice. Its so delicious and sweet! </div>
<div>
Me: Aw, that's so nice, what's in it? </div>
<div>
Kendal in her sweetest voice: Dead butterflies</div>
<div>
Me: oh, um... </div>
<div>
Kendal: Yeah, they are squished and liquefied until they are juice! Here, have a sip. </div>
<div>
Me: mmmm, that IS tasty...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Logan has decided that Ms. Sarah is some kind of goddess and got on his hands and knees to bow down to her then offered to do ANYTHING to entertain or help her every 5 minutes for the rest of the evening. Loopy asked her to come sit on our couch for a day with a list of things he can do. Cause this NEVER happens for us.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Yeah. May in a very large nutshell. </h2>

Last blog I mentioned that there was a little flooding situation here. At first I thought my careless husband let my rogue children dump gallons and gallons of water all over the dining room floor. I had to shopvac it up 3 times. Kendal jumped in the 'puddle' and it splashed my face. It was insane.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this is a timeline of the trainwreck that ensued. </div>

I realized that it was infact a plumbing issue and apologized profusely to my family for yelling at them and freaking out about their perceived negligence.</div>

<div>
Here is Kendal chatting up the plumber. It reminded me of myself so much when I was a kid. I could never leave the contractors/ plumbers/ builders alone growing up. I had to know EVERYTHING they were doing. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Apparently the water main broke, normally the pipe would burst outward, but when there was a pinhole leak a couple months ago the guy messed up and put in the wrong size something, anyway, now it was fixed... right?? </div>

Mr. Landlord attempted to clean it up with bleach and some sort of spray. I let him know this wouldn't fix the problem, but hey, it's not my house. Within 2 days it was WAY worse. I suggested he talk to his insurance company. </div>

I am so happy to NOT be a homeowner today. We'll be getting a new kitchen in the next couple weeks! Wall, cabinets, ect. Oooh, maybe new carpet. A mold remediation company came out to inspect the damage. There was moisture detected from the front window all the way through the kitchen and into the dining room. Awesome. Just waiting on the insurance adjuster. </div>

Check out my mold colony! Insurance adjuster will be here Wednesday to see if demolition is necessary. I'm gonna go ahead and say yup. Gonna be an interesting couple weeks here.</div>

I had to show the adjuster dated pictures of this nonsense. He was trying to get out of the job saying this was WAY more than 2 days of mold growth. Thank God for excessive documentation!!</div>

We sprayed different kids of mold killer on it a couple times and cleaned it up but it was back within 8 hours. The remediation guys left this beast in front of the pantry door. Not much work gets done over Easter weekend. We spent most of it at Disney parks anyway. </div>

Demo starts on the kitchen Friday morning. I am a little bummed that Kendal's birthday party has to be moved out a few weeks but happy this is getting taken care of quickly. I've been reassured that the kitchen/ work area will be completely sealed off and there will be a air purifier blasting the whole time and for 6 days following demolition, the air will be tested before the quarantine is taken down. THEN the landlord has to get a contractor in to rebuild what is torn up. Let the games begin!!</div>

When we skipped town there were 2 giant dehumidifiers and 2 massive HVAC machines there to purify the air. We could not have stayed if we wanted to. The noise was deafening. Because of Loopy's SEVERE mold allergy it was best to leave during the process. </div>

They did not get or appreciate this joke. That is sad to me.</div>

Unfortunately Kendal's birthday party was postponed indefinitely. (like... until July) We did decorate and celebrate for her party at the condo. She didn't seem to mind. I am adding all that in THIS post cause the location was caused by the mold fiasco. </div>

April 30</h2>
<div>
Logan just came up to me like he's had a revelation...</div>
<div>
Logan: Mom, I think I just figured out how to open up a worm hole. </div>
<div>
Me: Really, HOW?</div>
<div>
Logan: Well you have to find something that is the right size, like.. that curtain there. Then you find the tiniest opening of a wormhole...</div>
<div>
Me: But how do you find that?</div>
<div>
Logan: with a microscopic microscope. They are realllly small holes. </div>
<div>
Me: ok... </div>
<div>
Logan: then you pry it open with a knife, just the very tip of it. Then you can reach in with your hands and pull it wide open and climb right in. Bam, traveling through wormholes made easy. </div>
<div>
Yup. Its THAT easy folks.</div>

House update: My kitchen is still missing a few things like a sink... and walls. Waiting on insurance to cooperate with a contractor. We'll be getting all new cabinets and possibly new carpet.. that means I have to take everything(EVERYTHING) on the ground floor and put it somewhere. Upgrades are great but dang, this will be a long month. Landlord came today to check it out and let us know he is trying hard to expedite the process.

Contractor is finally coming over to look at our kitchen this evening. Fingers crossed that we get moving on things quickly..<br />
<br />
The good news is that the we are getting new countertops because they can't possibly match the old outdated white ones. The bad news is that the insurance company is allocating a whopping $2 (TWO DOLLARS) toward installation of a new kitchen (walls, flooring, cabinets, plumbing, counters, ect) So Mr. Landlord can't afford ALL new cabinets an the carpet wasn't damaged enough to replace. I can't blame him that is absolutely ridiculous.<br />
<br />
In order to match the current cabinets we have to send away the faces (front of cabinets/ doors) to be matched from the one company that still has this pattern. Which is apparently on a mountain top in tibet sold by monks... ok, that last part isn't true, but it was S. L. O. W. <br />

Meanwhile I would like to point out that we have been less than environmentally friendly. We used 100's of paper plates, cups, and plasticware. I have been doing my dishes for a month and 1/2 in a very very tiny bathroom sink. My tub doesn't drain well, so that was right out the window. It. Sucked.<br />

Dear contractors: you were supposed to come at 9am on friday to install the cabinets and you just didn't. I wasn't upset because It turns out I was at the dr. at that time. But showing up unannounced at 8:30 on a Saturday makes me a little grumpy. Thanks for the heads up landlord, they have already been here for 45 mins.<br />

The only amusing part is that the Mexican worker had the shiniest silver hatchet/hammer I have ever seen. It was very Breaking Bad.<br />

A "plumber" came to finish the sink and dishwasher BUT the landlord took the old sink today (!?) and it had the connectors that we need for the NEW sink. These people aren't not ACTUALLY plumbers and contractors by the way. They are roofers by trade, no idea why they are here doing a kitchen job.<br />
He installed the faucet fixture sideways so it only swiveled to half the sink an turned over towards the counter instead he shrugged like that's ok. I made him fix it twice before he left and he was all pissy. WTF people? So. Over. This. It's been almost 2 months.<br />

The "plumber" came back to finish with the sink/ dishwasher situation. The first time he tried to leave I turned the sink on and it was steady dripping at the U joint when I filled and emptied the sink. He suggested maybe I don't run so much through at once. I made him fix that. Then it was dripping at the sprayer hose. He tried to tell me that it was just a small leak. 3rd time was a charm. (by the way, he basically knew NO english) He was a grumpy grumpy man when I pointed out that he never installed the shelves in the cabinets.<br />
<br />
2 hours later, I let him leave. He never came back.<br />
<br />
Our kitchen is officially (Almost) done. Sink is back, Dishwasher is back, (Nearly) everything that was scattered around the house is back in cabinets. New counters are awesome. We rearranged furniture and there is so much space. LOVING IT. I have to get the LL to bring contractors back to tack down the carpet, fix the threshold and install a couple more shelves back into the pantry. SO happy to have some normalcy again.<br />
<br />
All said and done the process took just under 3 months to complete. I am still happy to be a renter. I appreciate all the money, hard work, and bitching our landlord has had to sink into this place since we moved in. So far we have gotten a new stove (that only took a couple days, stoves are expensive) A brand new garage door (as the other one krinkled like a soda can on it's own one day) he has fixed many many sprinkler heads, cut the tree branches off the roof, fixed minor things around the house, and more recently the air conditioning issue.. we'll save that for another post.<br />
<br />
All bitching aside, he's been an awesome landlord. We still love it here.<br />

Soooo, the kids didn't spill water. It is coming through the foundation. I am super happy I am a renter right now. I am NOT happy that there is an splashy puddle of water under my carpet and in the kitchen. This is 1/2 of what I vacuumed up that day. I apologized profusely to Loopy and the kids for getting so mad.</div>

Today Kendal picked out the cereal at Publix. Loopy just got himself a bowl<br />
Loopy: This is decadent.<br />
Me: Decadent? dude, they are just fruit loops with marshmallows.<br />
Loopy: Hello, my name is Loopy!<br />
Me: point taken.<br />
<i>*the bowl was emptied in the time it took me to type this.</i><br />

I came downstairs to enjoy a coffee break while the kids played in K's room... 20 mins later<br />
Logan: c'mon Kendal, lets go down stairs.<br />
Kendal: wait, I have to get dressed<br />
Me: Why is she naked?<br />
Logan: Cause we were getting ready to go to Epcot<br />
Me: But.. we don't go to Epcot naked.<br />

Someone asked me why I don't just skip over all these months. I thought about doing that, but honestly the blogs help me look back and enjoy the stuff that just went by when I was too busy being a mom. Too busy with laundry, cooking, errands, MOLD (good lord, the mold), There are days when I am too burned out and frustrated to appreciate what I have. I suppose that is normal, but there are moments when I just can't wrap my head around how I got so lucky in my life. I blog to appreciate that. </div>

I hope Logan never loses his sense of self either. He is a sweet, sensitive, intense, smart boy... who gets in trouble at school for excessive hugging. He needs to learn boundaries, but in the scope of things, It could be worse. MUCH MUCH worse. </div>

It is really hard to skip months...</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I said I was going to fast forward 6 months, but I am apparently unable because I find stuff funny and I want to write it down before it's lost forever. YOU are welcome fast forward if you want once I am done, just use the side bar to flip through months.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
March as fast as possible.</h2>
<div>
And by that I mean the month, not double time band flashbacks. </div>
<div>
*I am not watching for typos and horrible spacing issues, I am in a trying to be quick. </div>
<div>

Me: You startled yourself awake and jumped up on the bed like Spiderman. I put my leg up to stop you from jumping on me.. or whatever you were doing... and you grabbed my leg with both hands and FLUNG yourself backwards/sideways off the bed into the tall boy and nightstand and fell onto the drum set. </div>

Loopy: What!? Seriously? </div>

Logan: HaHaHaHahahaa!!! Were you getting attacked by Green Goblin in your sleep or something?! Mom, what did you do? </div>

Logan got new shoes that required him to learn to tie his laces (sketchers with Velcro are no longer cool) </div>
<div>
Logan: i am so happy i learned to tie my shoes in just 20mins! Now i don't have to feel embarrassed anymore at school. </div>
<div>
Me: i didn't know it was something that bothered you. You have to tell us these things so we can help you. Anything else you'd like to learn, anything else you've been embarrassed about?</div>
<div>
Logan: i wasn't going to tell you this until 3rd grade, but i really wish i knew division. </div>
<div>
Loopy: like a prophecy?</div>

Got Logan's SRI (just another standardized test) score from his teacher while I was reading<a href="http://www.byrdseed.com/five-unexpected-traits-of-gifted-students/"> this article</a> and it is all starting to click for me. He is a currently more than 200 points over the high end of average. (Yeah, I'm bragging) but I have been struggling with his overdramatic self for a long time and I know there is more to it than simply unable to get his shit together but things like this and lots of other studies help us to see the big picture. The good news, he's damn smart. The bad news, he's destined to be a spaz forever.</div>

That drunk guy leaning on the trash can fell over when we walked by. We helped his wife carry him to his car. He was sobbing like a baby. Yay bike week.<br />

Crazy moments in the life of Logan</h2>
<div>
<div>
Logan: Dad, why did George Cherry cut down the Washington Tree? wait, that was backwards.</div>
<div>
Dad: Because he was drunk? </div>
<div>
Logan: Well you have to be honest to be president, right? </div>
<div>
Dad: *laughing*</div>
<div>
Logan: I bet Nick H would make a good president. He's always honest!</div>

Super proud of Logan. I went to his teacher conference and he is WAAAAY above his grade level for reading and math and is doing great pretty much across the board. Ms. P also said he is the best creative writer in the class.. he can tell a story but Hates Hates Hates to physically write. I guess when he does, it is worth the screaming. Watching his teacher read his "love letter" was hilarious. I have to do some uh.. editing before I post it here or on the blog. He was also tested for gifted the same week. </div>

When I told him what time it was he insisted our clocks are ALL wrong. Then he came back at 3:45 and was excited to be in the Guinness book for kid who was ready for school first. I told him to go back to bed. He kept telling me he can't sleep until around 4:30. "Well I can, go away" was not acceptable to him. When Kendal got up at 7:30 he was sleeping on the couch. Fingers crossed for early bedtime tonight.</div>

Logan was home sick today (woke up with a sore throat and barking cough, he's better now) I grabbed the wrong lunch box to send with Kendal this morning. My apologies to her teachers for the subsequent meltdown. But Logan's realization that Kendal got his favorite lunch items and didn't appreciate them (except the chocolate) was hilarious. "Thanks for packing combos and ham n cheese rolls in my lunch mom, I really WOULD have loved that..." Their conversations always crack me up.</div>

This was the surreal day that my kids met my friend Phil's kids. WE went to high school together. Logan was wired, Kendal was sleepy, and the girls were overwhelmed by my kids. Tara is officially cancer free after an incredibly strong fight with brain tumors this last year. This was their Make a Wish trip to Disney World!<br />

And now you can't tell how that new haircut looks! The good news is that she LOVED the experience. The bad news is that she expects every hair place to have bubbles and glitter. </div>

Here's the stuff that was good enough to remember</h3>
<div>
... or more accurately, the stuff I was able to write down before I forgot.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Best kid-isms of Januray</h2>
</div>
<div>
Has anyone else's Furby personality turned into a rude British man? It is strange coming from a pink polka dot fuzzball. It started at a squeaky little girly thing that called itself Coco. Today it woke up hungry and then started shaking and yelling "CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE" Then there was strobe action in the eyes and it Belched LOUDLY! Bam, we now have a hot pink Monty Python Furby.</div>

<div>
I may have accidentally given Kendal chewable Benedryl instead of chewable Tylenol. DOH! They are both pink and in the bubble packets.. She's pretty stoned right now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Logan just told me that whispering doesn't have any color. He may also be under the influence.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

We are doing shots over here! Of Tamaflu, Theraflu, and Prescription cough meds. Party time up in here. *hic*</div>

Logan freaks out like when forced to take medicine. Spitting, hitting psycho child. He's had a cough for 3 weeks that keeps everyone up at night. Finally got stuff from the Dr to help and NOPE, won't touch the stuff. GAAAAH</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Today in the fight to get Kendal eating fruit: she is enjoying some gummies.. which are really dried pineapple. (this breakthrough was very short lived)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Logan read a sentence that involved the phrase "Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era' and mispronounced the word "Era". He also can't wait to get back to school so he can learn more math tomorrow. So. Weird.<br />

Logan: Mom, if me and you were married and we were watching a sunset, about to make out...</div>
<div>
Me: Wait, WHAT!? </div>
<div>
Logan: Mom, I said IF WE WERE MARRIED!! So its ok.</div>
<div>
Me: Um.. right, that would make this story ok. Go on.</div>
<div>
Logan: Anyway, we'd be about to kiss on a cliff or something by the ocean and a dolphin would probably jump up and splash us and Ruin EVERYTHING. Just like in the cartoons. Pretty funny, huh? </div>
<div>
Me: *speechless with the giggles*</div>
<div>
Logan: I KNEW it wasn't just funny in my head!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I LOVE when Kendal comes out of her room to tell me she dropped her sippy cup on the floor. She has to get off her bunk, step OVER said cup to come out and tell me. in her mind its easier for us to stop what we are doing to walk up stairs, past her, pick it up, and hand it to her, then put her back in back in bed. Go the F#@$ to sleep.</div>

Overheard in line at Jo-Ann Fabric: </div>
<div>
Little girl: mommy, I'm going to use the paper you are buying to make a beautiful story about JESUS for you. </div>
<div>
Mommy: that would be great, thank you! (Grandma's swooning)</div>
<div>
Little girl: and when you read it, maybe you'll remember not to yell so much.</div>
<div>
Everyone around started cracking up, mom turned bright red, little girl was oblivious, reached out to grab a piece of chocolate, and bit through the wrapper. Mom now CAN'T yell at her. I thanked her on the way out for the entertainment and her awesome kids.<br />

Me: Cool, huh?<br />
Logan: And I finally get to wear TWO TIES!<br />
Me: Two ties?<br />
<br />
<br />
Logan: Yeah, there was one guy in there that did it. And Doc has a CLEAR tie. And we have to walk around with our pants and pockets inside out to prove that you have no money if you go to the store. I wonder where they are starting to build the future stuff. Probably California.</div>

My friend Karry's daughter Melanie went into pre-term labor at 32 weeks. After a few days of trying to stop the inevitable she texted me at 3am to come RIGHT now cause baby wasn't waiting anymore. Karry lives an hour away and had just gone home for some much needed rest. </div>

Loopy got a random wrong number text about a person who "hopefully won't be drug tested before they get ont he boat". We let them know it was the wrong number but suggested lots and lots of water then pop a B12 two hours before the test so the pee isn't too clear and wished them good luck. Hope it works out for them </div>

From time to time I get a chance to hang out with THIS chick. We usually end up in strange places doing things that 2 moms with 5 kids between us don't normally do. We don't discuss details. I think its all legal though... </div>

She suggested the dog track to start out our evening. This turned out to pretty lame, but we made the best of it. </div>

This is the way more interesting part where the handlers chase the dogs to the finish line.<br />
<br />
We left there and ended up down on Seabreeze if that give you any idea what kinds of shenanigans were had this evening.<br />

I was going to skip the last few months and just pick up where we are now. Then I had a dream the other night that all social networking was destroyed and then I realized I would have no documentation of all the funny shit my kids said for several months. *gasp* </div>
<div>
So I'll just keep doin' what I do for my own amusement. (and yours) I KNOW I missed events and people that we saw over the holidays, but really, cut me a break. It's May. </div>

We decided to take a family road trip to MI for Christmas and make a few stops along the way. We had a fabulous time and I am forever grateful that my kids are amazing travelers. As long as we keep moving. If we stay in one place they get cranky then want to go home. </div>

Loopy is a rather analytical guy who needs a plan and strict record keeping. Here he is with is 'pre-flight checklist'. Sometimes if I don't laugh I'll just get pissy. We sat in the car completely loaded and ready to roll while he checked and rechecked the schedule. For like 20 minutes.<br />

Our first stop for the night was in Kentucky. We booked a room with the intention of staying two nights because it had an indoor water park. Then I got sick and we had to change things up. This required a complete revamping of checklist, but it worked out really well. The kids LOVED it. </div>

Our room was the one way down in the lower left corner. So when the bucket dumps it pooled outside our door. That was super loud and made me jump every time.<br />

Next stop was Ft Wayne, In. Where apparently, for the first time in recent memory, I failed to take pictures. My older brother and his family live there. Lydia is all of 3 days older than Kendal and nearly a foot taller. (no joke) Ethan is 2 and is EXACTLY like his daddy. They look alike, act alike, laugh alike. And it makes me super happy. It was rowdy and fun and the kids crashed hard. Yay for that. </div>

Next stop was midnight coffee with some people I miss terribly!! They made me drive and it snowed about 10 inches when we were there. I couldn't see the road all the way home. Yeah. I forgot how to drive in snow. Damnit. That was terrifying but worth it.</div>

<h2>
A major award!</h2>
<div>
With the help of a few friends we thought it would be fun to get my dad a full size leg lamp for Christmas. It was a couple years in the making. This is the first time in a few years that all the siblings were all home at once to really enjoy it. </div>
<div>
Congrats again dad!!</div>

Kendal: Mom, will you help me make the Tower or Terror ride? Its really hard! That ride makes me a little nervous.</div>

We were at Target and Kendal was shopping in the dollar section. She found a teeny tiny little ray gun and said "Clowny told me to get one like this!" We laughed it off.. Slightly creeped out that her scary Halloween decor is requesting she purchases weapons. Later that night Logan was upstairs and thought it would be funny to kick clowny. Kendal said in a scary little voice "Use your gun, Clowny, the GUN" Its maybe starting to get a *little* weird.</div>

Kendal is crying because she wants to play with Clowny but Pippi is hanging out with him.</div>

Pre-K Christmas programs. Why do parents lose all dignity and courtesy when it comes to video and pictures of their 4yr old kids picking noses, half singing, sometimes doing hand motions, and jumping up and down? They will shove, get RIGHT in front of you and hold up an IPAD to capture it all. Anyway, Here is our attempt to get pictures of Kendal's preschool Christmas program.<br />

The adventures of having a Logan</h2>

2 weeks ago the guidance office called to say Logan punched a girl at school. Today they called to tell me.... wait for it.... he is being tested next week for the gifted program. Way to keep me on my toes parenthood. I hate that she waited until the end of the call to tell me why I had to come in for a conference and what we were going to discuss and sign for.</div>

Fun fact: Logan's bus driver's last name is "Clowney" and she is "scary and mean"</div>

Logan got grounded for being a disrespectful ass to a grown-up. I am trying to teach him that sometimes when a grown up says "because I said so" that is acceptable and you have to listen because YOU aren't a grown up. I told him he could go play outside at his friends house. Logan wanted to go into Zane's house to get a toy, Sarah (Z's mom) told him "no, cause I said so". And Logan lost his shit and wouldn't leave. She texted me, I had to go get him, he screamed all the way home. you get the idea. </div>

After being sent to his room while me and Loopy decided the best way to handle this (he has never been that disrespectful to a grown up before) I went up to talk to him and found THIS------></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He slid it under the door like a starving captive. It had only been 5 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He was screaming unintelligibly every time I tried to talk to him so I wrote him a note about why what he did was wrong and let him know he was grounded from electronics/ TV/ Wii/ computer until we leave for Christmas Break. He was also required to write an apology letter to Ms. Sarah.. which he did... but the last sentence was "But why can't I come inside!?" He had to rewrite it.</div>

While he was at Karate one day I went next door to Walgreens to get some coffee and Santa showed up. Immediately after karate I told Logan I am taking him to see Santa because The Big Man wasn't very happy about him getting in so much trouble this close to Christmas! He didn't believe me. And he was SO nervous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here he is trying to talk Santa into showing up on Christmas. He was listing off the reasons he thinks he should still get presents even though he is grounded. </div>

For my friends going through optometry school, please don't make your patients eyeballs look like this and then send them to pick out glasses. This has been my pet peeve since my first glasses mishap in 1st grade. Today I refused to purchase new frames because everything is bright and fuzzy. Also if you plan to dilate remind people to bring sunglasses. This has been a public service announcement.</div>

Right before it was time to leave for our road trip I came down with a sore throat, cough, and migraine from hell that laid me out for 3 days. Anyone who knows me understands that I don't stop for such minor ailments but I was nauseous and miserable. Packing, sorting, and cleaning all stopped while I went to bed and couldn't move. I tried to tell Loopy I'd just go see Dr. Hannibal when I got to town, but Loopy would have nothing of it and made me an appt with the local guy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To clarify, my pediatrician from MI looks like Dr. Hannibal. </div>

The whole ordeal only set us back a day and we shortened the road trip by one night at the water park hotel. More on that and all the other stuff that happened over Christmas Vacation in the next post.. Hopefully it won't take a month.. but we all know better than that, don't we?</div>

<div>
Kendal: Dad, when you are finished working will you play with me? </div>
<div>
Dad: Sure Kendal. Soon, ok? </div>
<div>
Kendal: Maybe two times?</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Logan: I just can't wait until that big math test tomorrow!</div>
<div>
Me: Why? </div>
<div>
Logan: I am ready to get an A. Cause I'm really smart.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
Logan: It crushes my lungs a little bit and makes it hard to breathe, but its not so bad.</div>
<div>
Me: Oh, bummer. You want me to stop doing that? I don't know if I can.</div>
<div>
Logan: No, its not so bad when you take my breath away. </div>

Who ya gonna call?! My kids have been dressing up as Ghostbusters for a couple weeks. Kendal is Venkman, you know, the snarky one who hits on everyone. I had to make little signs to tape to their shirts. Backpacks are proton packs. Hooray for creativity. </div>

<div>
Kendal brought me a box of yogurt covered raisins and said she likes them so much she's going to eat them TWICE! I didn't ask for details.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Kendal just told me to do my laundry. RIGHT NOW so she can help. Because Ghost Busters help people and there are no ghosts right now. Meanwhile, Logan is upstairs crying because Kendal told him they have to take turns being leader and he wants to be leader ALL the time.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Kids bickering upstairs....</div>
<div>
Me: HEY, Knock it off</div>
<div>
Logan: We aren't arguing! I'm just trying to get her to agree!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Waiting patiently for Kendal to pick up her Legos one at a time is painful. She wants to discuss each piece and what set it came from... and details about the day she got that set... zzzzzzz</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Logan coming out of the bathroom: Whoa. SOMEbody's been eating asparagus.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Logan: Don't look at me like that. I'm just enjoying life by dancing my head off.</div>
<div>

<div>

<div>
Logan seems happy today. I made him a scavenger hunt for when he got home. He loves that stuff. It ended with going to get his friend and playing soccer in the back yard. Kendal is happy cause Chandler is here "Chandler! You're here. I LOVE YOU CHANDLER!!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How is my 4yr old girl more emotionally stable than my 7yr old boy?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
I was talking to Logan about his temper problem after a 2 hour freak out this evening. (he got in trouble several times this week, one incident involved a call from the school) The conversation went like this. </div>
<div>
Me: You need to watch your temper. Do you know what a temper is? </div>
<div>
Logan: No. I don't even know what you are TALKING ABOUT!!!</div>
<div>
Me grabbing his dictionary: Lets look it up, so we know we are using the right word and what it means.</div>
<div>
Logan: I WISH YOU'D JUST THROW THAT STUPID THING AWAY!!! I HATE THAT BOOK</div>
<div>
Me: Temper; losing a feeling of calm.</div>
<div>
Logan: I *AM*CALM!!!</div>
<div>
~after some more talking and settling down again~</div>
<div>
Logan: I just want you to do more fun stuff with me. You NEVER SPEND TIME WITH ME!!!</div>
<div>
Me: I would love to spend time with you but you are constantly losing your temper before we even start playing when it doesn't happen fast enough or in the way you'd like. That isn't fun. But we can try harder to get along. </div>
<div>
Logan: You lose your temper too. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SMACK ME ON THE HEAD?!! (Yeah, I do that sometimes when he keeps screaming "NO" in my face) </div>
<div>
Me: Because when you are losing your shmidt its the only thing that gets your attention. We've tried everything else. Do you have another suggestion?</div>
<div>
Logan: JUST LET ME HAVE MY WAY ALL THE TIME!!!</div>
<div>
Me: no.</div>
<div>
Logan: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......</div>
<div>
After much discussion and story time we agreed to use a safe phrase. When of us is losing it the other says "Water on Fire" (he thought of it) If that doesn't work I get to splash him with water.. or vise versa. </div>
<div>
Stay tuned for more on how THAT plan works. for now I need a glass of wine.</div>

Kendal thinks she's Harry Potter. She keeps running into walls looking for platform 9 3/4. If you see a crazy child at a Sunrail station next spring running into stuff that's my girl.<br />

I can appreciate the idea behind these record-able books. Grandparents or far away friends record their voice reading the story as the pages turn ect. The problem is that<br />
1. I wasn't expecting to hear that voice in my house from a closet.<br />
2. The book was closed, it is now possessed.<br />
3. We have determined the book to be a horocrux that can only be destroyed by the fang of a basilisk.<br />
4. Where do we find a basilisk? Kendal is now speaking parseltounge.<br />

This is Kendal's car. She picked those extra guys up in college then had 2 kids and adopted a boy and girl after getting married. Her goal was to make it to that building which she calls the disco. She skipped a turn to unload her car and dance for a while.</div>

Thought Logan's backpack smelled funny last night, looked in, didn't see anything. This morning it smelled like spoiled milk or something but he doesn't eat much dairy and doesn't drink milk. Just got home to investigate and he had put his pudding in the front pocket after the HALLOWEEN party at school. Whatever was growing finally broke the barrier and it smells so freakin gross. hosed it down outside and washing it with a double dose of smelly washer stuff. Spoiled milk is the one thing that makes me want to vomit. BLECH!!!! Now I have to lysol my house.</div>
<br />
Kendal has been jabbering away while I do laundry. I looked up and saw this beautiful face looking back at me.. I haven't brushed her hair in 3 days and it still falls perfectly in place. Man I make good looking kids.<br />

Listening to Logan hit on the chick at Hair Cuttery. He's giving the one guy that works here an education on why his karate is better than this guys Taekwondo. They are arguing their points in a surprisingly respectful and educated manner. Every once a while he winks and gives the hair girl a 'how you doin' look in the mirror.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kendal just about gave me a heart attack. She was jabbering away upstairs with her hands on the banister and swung her skinny little ass through the bars like a gymnast and back onto the loft. *deep breath* dang kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Logan playing SimCity: Look, I made Big Ben<br />
Kendal: ooh, I like him. you mean Carol Ann's kid? I LOVE THAT GUY!!<br />

Picking up Kendal from school in my pajamas. Know why that's ok? BECAUSE YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN PICK UP LINE. not to chat with other parents, teachers, assistants, or to make sure your kid has water and a snack on the way home. Pull forward and park it. There are 20 cars behind you patiently waiting for you to get in and leave. /rant</div>

I have to do a quick catch up because if I just skip ahead to current events I'll never remember that I once dressed up as Princess Peach for Halloween, How crappy Logan's costume came out regardless of the hours and frustration involved. I'd forget about the funny shit my kids said or that ONE time Loopy volunteered to clean the toilets. These things MUST be documented!<br />

I was trying to clean up while Kendal was at school but I couldn't wipe down the coffee table because Clowny wasn't done with his snack of foamy shapes. This honestly startled me when I saw it. You'd think I'd be used to him. Nope.</div>
<div>

<div>
<i>I'm writing this at the end of January. I'd like to tell you that he's a thing of the past and packed away with the halloween decor. But no, you haven't seen the last of Clowny. He's a family member now. Yay.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Ms. Amanda: Kendal does NOT like Halloween music. Creaky doors, howling, NOT a fan. </div>
<div>
Kendal: Yeah, I had to cover my ears!</div>
<div>
driving home..</div>
<div>
Me: what was your favorite part of the day?</div>
<div>
Kendal: OOh, I just LOVED the spooky music in Ms. Amanda's room! Spooooky!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Logan: mom, I don't like the Polly-O string cheese. </div>
<div>
Me: I know its not as good as the other stuff but it was on sale and I had a coupon.</div>
<div>
Logan: I know, but next time you see it at the store just pretend you DON'T have the coupon. In fact just pretend it never existed and move on to the good stuff. </div>
<div>
Yeah, there was a recall on Polly-O the day before. My bad. I have not bought Polly-O since. Even with a coupon.</div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
<div>
Logan just went outside to greet Loopy after work... </div>
<div>
Kendal: Well, thats it then. Logan's leaving us...</div>

Family Pumpkin Carving. We almost finished with everyone still clothed, but as you see there are no pictures of us posing with the finished products. Why do people lose their pants? "WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS" is one of the most spoken phrases here.<br />

Logan has been using his chore chart and it seems to be working pretty well most days. He complains but knows what has to be done. Kendal asked me for one too so all day long she is looking for toys and dishes to put away and asking if I need help with anything so she can put checks on her chart. Loopy wants one too (to prevent nagging).. oh the possibilities! What would you put on your spouses chore chart? I'm thinking something like this... (compliments of BabySideburns)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Loopy just asked me where the toilet bowl cleaner is located... I don't know whether to be happy he is cleaning a toilet without being asked or irritated that he's never cleaned a toilet...</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Attempted a Zumba class this morning with Elanie. I realized a few important things</div>
<div>
1. I am NOT nor will I ever be a dancer. This white girl has NO rhythm </div>
<div>
2. Full length room size mirrors are not kind to non dancers who gained 25lbs after quitting smoking.</div>
<div>
3. The instructor was in her 60s and could pelvic thrust and shake her ass like a 20yr old. She also made O-face a lot which made Elanie giggle.</div>
<div>
4. I hate shoes and missed my flip flops terribly.</div>
<div>
5. Itchy sports bras are distracting</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
20 minute power naps are useless.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Loopy's office is being remodeled so he is working from home for the rest of the year. This should be interesting...</div>
<div>

<h3>
November Happenings</h3>
<div>
You'll have to bear with me here. November was busy, my kids were funny and frustrating, and it was also 30 days of thankful month. I openly admit I only made it 1/2 way through because it was rough for a few weeks there for various reasons and some days I wasn't feeling very thankful. I did better<a href="http://www.whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2012/12/novembers-challenge-bit-late.html"> last year</a>! But then again, it was the month Loopy started his new job.. so there was that.. ANYWAY, lets move on.</div>

That was by far the best weekend in recent memory.</div>
<h2>
30(ish) days of Thankful</h2>
<div>
I'm thankful I had the chance to spend this weekend with my awesome hubby and my awesome kids. Other people come and go but they are my family and my world. (Even though we were tired and grumpy this afternoon)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thought I'd have to wrap up this morning's cleaning/ laundry spree to get Kendal and realized I hadn't changed the living room clock yet. Score! I just found a use for that extra hour Misty you were right... This time. I'm Thankful for THAT right now....</div>

I am so thankful to hear that Tara is officially cancer free. The beautiful, strong, brave 7yr old beat brain cancer and she's on the mend. Congrats to the whole Deam family! I can't WAIT to see your smiling faces at Disney in February for your Make a Wish trip. </div>

I am grateful to be a stay at home mom. I never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I do. It's exhausting, rewarding, relaxing, stressful, and more adjectives than I can fit into a facebook status. I hope to enjoy this a little longer before I have to get back to 'real life'. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing at this point in life.<br />

I am grateful that Loopy has the patience to teach Logan how to grill burgers. Logan's been looking forward to it all week and they are outside having a father son moment.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for Hero Academy because it changes Logan's infuriating attitude problem, and gives me a chance to walk away for a few minutes.. to Walgreens where I bought wine and chocolate.<br />

I am thankful for Kendal's calm demeanor. Through the meltdowns, frustrations, over tiredness she was sweetly telling Logan to settle down and just breath and talk calmly. When he was hysterical she hugged him and said "Its okay Logan, we have rough days. But you don't have to be so sad!" It is so awesome to see her personality coming through. Love my baby girl.<br />

I am thankful for friends like Kari who know how to have a good time and engage in shenanigans that are so amazing they can't be put in a facebook status because they might get us arrested. Or at the very least the stink eye from a few people. Orange IS the new black. One of the best mom's night out. Ever.<br />

I am thankful for the cute little things my daughter does, like picnics on the living room floor. She made sure everyone had their favorite color plate (or we were asked to just pretend) I'm also thankful we are carefree enough to just go with it.<br />

I am thankful for the motivation to get my mom-butt back in shape. I'm more out of shape than I've EVER been and its freaking me out. Time to fix it. Although tomorrow when I can't walk or function because of today's motivation I might feel differently.<br />
<br />

I am thankful that my parents are in town. We only get to see each other a couple weekends a year and the kids are LOVING it. Kendal in particular is absolutely giddy to be snuggled up with her Grandpa or holding his hand everywhere we go. I love watching them together. There is something special about seeing your dad and your daughter smiling at each other simply because they are together.<br />

I am thankful that we were able to spend a day with just Logan. He doesn't get a special day with the grown ups very often. He was pretty disappointed about the foggy shuttle launch but there is always next time. It was nice to spend a day focused on Logan for a change.<br />
<br />

I am grateful that my hubby is able to stay calm and understanding when I am losing my cool. He is every bit the amazing dad that I knew he would be. Sometimes its the other way around but the last few days he's been the calm in the shit storm of child rearing. Tomorrow is another day and we'll try again.<br />

I am thankful for Facebook. I love talking to old and new friends. I love seeing everyone from ALL different backgrounds talk to each other and joke around. Sometimes you people are really funny and I giggle to myself all day. When I need advice or have a question someone is around to answer of offer suggestions. I get updates on people I care about and have the power to delete the ones I don't. I get WAY less done that I should most of the time but this is hands down the most fun time waster I've come across in a REALLY long time.<br />
<br />
I was grateful to spend some impromptu time with Karry and Melanie at the beach last night. I'd rather hang out and drink coffee at the ocean than spend the night in labor and delivery a couple months early. But i'd do it in a heartbeat <br />
<br />
I am grateful for days where my kids play together without injury or major meltdowns, no one had to threaten another family member's well being, and the house was clean at the end of it all.<br />

I am thankful for Sunday afternoon naps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am thankful for being a stay at home mom cause sometimes that means sittin' on my ass and watching Netflix all day.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am thankful for coffee.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am thankful for a family with a fantastic sense of humor. They make me laugh all day. Every day. Even when they are losing their shit and yelling like crazy people. I know it is temporary and they'll be awesome again eventually.<br />
<br />
I am thankful it is 70 and sunny out. Windows are open, floors are somewhat clean (DON'T GO UPSTAIRS) a few last minute groceries to purchase and we are ready to take on Turkey day. Whoop Whoop!!<br />

Until this blog I was not the type of mom to keep good records of when my children hit miles stones or do something awesome. I stopped scrapbooking around 2004 and my kids didn't show up until 2006. I can't even use them as an excuse. All that awesome stuff I bought to fill pages with memories is now in the craft shelf in the playroom and used for school projects and creative days.</div>
<div>

I have printed out a few pictures for old school brag books. The kids each have one and LOVE THEM. But that's about as far as I've gotten </div>

This month has always been busy for us. So many festivals, company, events, parties, trick or treating.. this year we through in camping, you know.. for good measure. So I'll try to take it week by week and keep things moving along. This will likely take me WEEKS to complete. Or perhaps hours and I won't go to bed tonight. Its been known to happen. </div>

At some point this week Congress decided they don't like the rules of the game so they stomped their feet and went home or on vacation for a couple weeks. I'm putting this in here only as a time reminder. It was a huge waste of time and money and pretty much proved America is a trainwreck.<br />

After a long hiatis for the Tooth Fairy Logan lost his 3rd tooth. The bottom ones fell out at the beginning of 1st grade and it was another year before the front ones got loose. Which sucked because they have cavities and I wasn't going to pay $100's to fix teeth that didn't bother him a couple months before they fell out anyway. </div>

My biggest 'mom pet peeve' is sitting down, getting situated with my coffee and laptop and hearing "MOOOOOM!!! Can you come here?! I NEEED HEEEELP" </div>
<div>
Or </div>
<div>
"I can't reach the snack on the top shelf, can you get it for me?" </div>
<div>
Or </div>
<div>
"Mom, I need help, I have a butt issue" </div>
<div>
OR </div>
<div>
"AAAAAGH!!!! *insert sibling* STOP HITTING/ KICKING/ PUSHING MEEEE" </div>
<div>
I just want to sit down. In silence. By myself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a running joke (well not a joke really. Its annoying as hell) with my friend Kari. Every time we are going to hang out, either planned or spontaneous, one of our kids spikes a fever, produces thick green snot, or projectile vomits hours before said playdate. October 5th was no exception. Kari had NO idea why her kid was suddenly puking every where. Then it dawned on us. Me and Loopy were on the way out the door for a concert and Carol Ann called to say an extra ticket had become available. THIS was her status update that evening. I am truly sorry Kari. Next time. I swear. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I now know why my children decided to throw vomit in the mix today! They knew Kara had a ticket to the Black Crowes with my name on it tonight. How do they always know???"</blockquote>
Meanwhile at the concert much fun was had by all.<br />

Logan and Kendal come in the house...<br />
Logan: Dad,can we have the keys to your car?<br />
Dad: no.<br />
Logan: We aren't necessarily going to drive it, we just want to try something<br />
Dad: no, that is just a terrible idea.<br />
Logan: Its just a little game we thought up..<br />
Dad: No.<br />
Logan: we'll have to try something else Kendal. Hey mom...<br />

This pretty much sums up growing up with a nurse mom. Once I was having asthma issues and she told me to run around the house a few times then ride my bike to the Dr. office so I'd be GOOD and wheezy for Dr. Hines when I got there. *gasping, coughing...*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good news: Kendal let me sleep until 9:30 this morning and just played games quietly on the computer until I woke up.<br />
Bad news: Kendal is supposed to be at school at 9:00<br />
<br />
Overheard...<br />
Kendal: Don't shoot me.<br />
Logan: I wasn't going to<br />
Kendal: Oh my gosh. I guess I better use a machine gun. I have to load this thing and get my treasure back. Wheere's that brother? LOOOOGGAAAAANNN. I'm coming for you! Mom, can you pump this so I can shoot him a lot of times?<br />
<br />
Today Loopy put in for his end of year vacation time. Dec 19th- Jan 2nd and NOONE flinched, set ultimatums, or vowed to make the month prior to vacation a living hell. *Real world win of the week*.<br />
Next week will be the year anniversary of leaving The Bad Place and we haven't regretted a moment of it. I still recommend this "real world" thing for those of you still trapped.<br />

Logan lost a tooth last week. His other front one is just dangling there, grossing me out. Sunday he knocked it sideways and FREAKED OUT. Instead of just pulling it out he tried to straighten it out and now its even MORE dangly. Kendal is now terrified that her teeth are going to fall out. She keeps brushing them and checking to see if they are firmly in place.</div>

Just for fun I took a facebook poll of my friends (many of whom are also Loopy's friends) and asked if he should finally get his own dang facebook page. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Lets take a vote. Who thinks Loopy should get his own facebook page and stop highjacking mine? He is always reading over my shoulder and telling me to click things or add stuff.... It is time." </blockquote>
59 likes and numerous comments later, he still doesn't have his own page and he is still looking over my shoulder. We'll get him eventually.<br />

I forgot to put Kendal's lunch box in her bag today. Her teacher called to let me know. When I dropped it off she didn't notice me talking to the teacher so I said "Hey Kendal, I found your lunch box" she looked up and said "WHAT THE HECK!?" Now all the kids in her class have a new hilarious phrase they won't stop repeating. Oops.. My bad.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The good thing about being too lazy to get groceries is that the fridge is empty enough to clean the shelves without removing anything.<br />
Always look on the bright side of life!<br />
*you know you sang along and then whistled along.<br />

Walking home from the bus stop today we were all in a line holding hands with Kendal in the middle. The kids were laughing and talking about their days. It was a great 'mom' moment. So I said "Wow, I love you guys, it's nice to walk together like this. You are both great kids" before I finished that sentence Kendal leaned over and wiped her nose all the way down my arm and they both started laughing maniacally and wiping their noses on me and each other. Moment over.<br />

Its 9pm and Kendal just came downstairs to tell me she lost a tooth. Nope, they are all still there and now she's brushing them just to be sure they stay there until tomorrow. Wonder if they were selling Go The Fuck To Sleep at the book fair I forgot to take the kids to tonight.<br />

I got bored and had a little fun on JibJab. This is where you take pictures of your friends or family and paste their faces on funny little dancing animations. Its free, but just this one song.. and it costs money to download.. and I'm cheap. So I'll post the links here to enjoy for the short period of time before JibJab deletes them...<br />
So, In honor of Loopy's one year freedomaversary and our first ever induction ceremony I give you "I Will Survive": <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.jibjab.com/view/SjevR171RKSmUgVKASq8eQ?utm_campaign=My+Timeline&utm_content=i_will_survive&utm_medium=Share&utm_source=Facebook&cmpid=hw_fb_self&reloading=true">Part 1</a> <a href="http://www.jibjab.com/view/FP3tsj6cR-GeVGz2gIFWGQ?utm_campaign=My+Timeline&utm_content=i_will_survive&utm_medium=Share&utm_source=Facebook&cmpid=hw_fb_self">Part 2</a> <a href="http://www.jibjab.com/view/x1vbjNcUSe67wO4t8EzqQw?utm_campaign=My+Timeline&utm_content=i_will_survive&utm_medium=Share&utm_source=Facebook&cmpid=hw_fb_self">Part 3</a></span><br />

Logan: look mom, it's America. (Rips paper)<br />
Somebody call Abraham Lincoln!<br />
Me: what?<br />
Logan: because he puts the county back together!<br />
Now he is doing math for fun while eating lunch. This is not my child<br />

One day we thought it would be fun to go on a hunt for Halloween decorations. Some of our neighbors started putting things out weeks ago and Loopy was feeling a little behind the ball. AND me and Loopy still needed costumes. We went to a couple places with little luck in the dress up department and a few decor pieces. Kendal was scared to death of most animated stuff that jumps, screams, howls, or creaks. Until she found Clowny.<br />

It was clear we weren't leaving the store without him. And we certainly wouldn't be able to shop without having him there to protect her. Soooo, in the spirit of Halloween. We adopted this lovable creature.<br />

I'm so allergic to all things farm. The hay, the dust... I can't breath there or for days after. Ugh. Too bad fun things happen in the fall on farms so I'm going to power through. Where should we go next weekend? *cough wheeze gasp*<br />
<br />

End Part 1.</h2>
Looks like that's as far as I'm going to get for tonight. Its 3am (as always) and I'm so dang tired! Still have to make lunch for Logan tomorrow. YAAAAWWWWWNNNN<br />

<h3>
Well that was fun..</h3>
<div>
I got a lot of positive feedback from the last post. I might do some more stuff like that in the future(but probably not just about me) It was fun to write about something other than the kids and parenting for a minute. I'm open to more suggestions! Or if I left anything out of the last post you want to hear about let me know. For now I'm going to stick to what works and what I know best. </div>
<h3>
Back to Parenting..</h3>

We made it 2 weeks into school without a sick kid. That has to be a record! Kendal is "Hot and a little spitty" but definitely "NOT SICK" That means that I was home with a puker and missing Logan's first belt test for Karate. Its was regional thing at UCF and he was really excited. Loopy took a TON of pictures<br />

One day blisteringly hot day in September, Logan came home and went straight outside to play in the dirt like a 7yr old boy should. 2 hours later he comes in and says "COME SEE WHAT I MADE!! its a dirt hotel for bugs" ok, pretty cool looking, very elaborate. The only problem is that I think he buried a sprinkler head and he is wearing uniform pants that now have a hole in the knee and they are BLACK from the thigh down. *sigh<br />
<br />
Logan is a comedian pretty much everywhere we go. He wowed the staff with is cup song skills at Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios and danced Gangum style all the way to the table. Here he is learning a few days earlier<br />
<br />

My kid did a whole weeks worth of spelling homework thinking it has to be done all in one day. I wasn't about to stop him. That means the rest of my week will be easier! He was not even grumpy about it. Kendal is quietly building board games out of Legos. Easy mellow afternoon for the win. knockin' on wood.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Logan must have gotten into trouble at school because he's being REALLY nice to Kendal and put his backpack away and said he just doesn't remember what he did today. I am enjoying the happy sibling moment too much to go read his binder right now. Hoping that I just got my awesome kid back after a very long and whiny hiatus...<br />
<br />
...Nope, he got a star for the day and only has to practice spelling and vocab. AND the construction guy down the street said he was very polite on his way home today and said "Hello sir, have a good day" to everyone. There is still happy laughing coming from the playroom and he read her a story. Is this the twilight zone? I don't even care that the playroom is getting trashed<br />

Went to cracker barrel for breakfast and this incredibly stern looking woman stopped by to tell me our kids are a PLEASURE to sit near at a restaurant because they are respectful, well behaved, and polite. She was a Jr high teacher and said to keep doing whatever we are doing. Am I in the twilight zone or have I hit the "sweet spot" of parenting? Yeah, Logan was dressed as a bandit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Every night after I read with my kids I ask them if there is anything they want to tell me or talk about. If you don't do this, I highly recommend it. Some of our best kid-isms happen at bedtime. Kendal usually punches me and tells me to get out. Logan always comes up with something. Somehow he just got me to agree to go on a "Goth Themed Date to Paranera" on Friday He's got his outfit picked out and we need black fingernails. Could be fun.<br />

Logan hurt his foot, was looking for sympathy, and donations.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Me: Logan, your turn, go take a shower.<br />
Logan comes back out of the bathroom: Mom, I don't understand the concept of some words and phrases.<br />
Me: That is because you are seven. What don't you understand?<br />
Logan: I don't understaaaaand... Yes and No.<br />
Me: Well then you can look them up in your dictionary after you take a shower so you can get a better understanding. Also look up Procrastination, Stalling, and Avoidance.<br />
Logan: UUuuuugh. Fine. Shower time.<br />
<br />
Logan thinks it's funny to walk right passed my car when I pick him up at the bus stop. Guess that means I don't need to waste time effort on that anymore...<br />
1 week later<br />
... So much for Logan's streak of independence walking from the bus stop alone. He asked poor Heather to walk him ALLLL the way home WITH 3 kids in tow. Ugh. I'm so so sorry Heather. I'll to back to picking him up again tomorrow.<br />

Can I just say that watching a group of kids belt test is like watching submissions for The Ministry of Silly Walks? At least it made me giggle when I was watching.. and then later when I looked at the pictures.<br />

Caught Logan sleepwalking upstairs again. He went to pee and walked past the bathroom. Caught him right before he unloaded into the clubhouse. Then had to wrestle him back to his room. Where does this kid pee when I'm sleeping and DON'T catch him? Anyway, disaster averted.<br />
<br />
Logan was quickly working though his homework so that he can go to Karate. Except he was screaming and crying the whole time.. For no apparent reason. Just sitting there all by himself having a loud temper tantrum while correctly answering questions and a decent pace. It gets louder when he has to erase something.. maybe erasing is painful.. strange.<br />

<br />
Then Susan recommended giving him some salty carbs. I thought it was worth a shot to make the howling stop. Gave him a big bowl of pretzels and he came over laughing.. patting his head and rubbing his belly. What the actual fuck is in those magical little salty sticks?<br />

Kendal told me that she doesn't care if fruits and veggies will make her big and strong because she wants to stay little just like this forever. I told her she needs them to be healthy and she said "Mom, I"M NOT SICK" and she's right. She is healthy and happy, and smarter than we all give her credit for.

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I gave in to the boogies and gave her cold meds. 1/2 dose and she still seems a bit tipsy. She's got the hiccups and slurring her way through the alphabet. I took a video but it was pretty awful. </div>

<div>
Me: we should drive to get Logan from the bus stop today because it looks like it is about to rain. </div>

Nope, no candy rain. Sorry kid.</div>

Kendal woke up with a stuffy runny nose. You know why? Cause I'm suppose to go have lunch with Kari and Tater on Thursday. I say we brave the germs. I miss my friend. And so we did.<br />

It is incredibly difficult to put gloves on a florida child who has NEVER worn gloves. She has no concept of one finger in each space but gets mad when they fall off and she can't use her hands.<br />

Kendal's teacher told me she is really coming out of her shell at school and they are surprised by how smart she is. (you know since she cried and didn't talk for the first 2 weeks) Then Logan walked home by himself and was happy about it, ate a snack, watched one show, and got up to do his homework WITHOUT nagging. Kendal is playing Nick Jr. quietly WITH headphones. its so quiet I can hear crabs digging. OH, and I slept the whole time the kids were at school. Best. Day. Ever.<br />

Kendal is playing a Little Einsteins game on the computer. Every game has a music/art theme and they talk about the style and artists ect. Anyway. Logan walked in and was like "hey, that artwork is done by Henri Rousseau! Did you know there was a rumor that he painted with his FEET!?" Then he rattled off the name of his famous art and other facts. At least I can say my kids are well rounded.<br />
<br />
By the way, I had to google Henri Rousseau.<br />

A couple times a year I am especially bummed to not have our parents in town. This week the kids have grandparents and breakfasts and lunches at school no one to take with them. This morning Kendal is probably borrowing some nice old guy from the church and clinging to his grandpa-ness. We went to have lunch with Logan, he was pretty happy, even though his burger was wrong.<br />

So we redid the crabitat with some new stuff. I emptied the whole tank and cleaned it out. Seems that someone definitely ate Mrs. Crabs. OR she just committed suicide because Foxy wouldn't give back the bedazzled shell. I got to watch Mr. Crabs jump shells TWICE and tried to catch Ballsy jumping but he's currently staring down Mr. C for that giant shell. Turbo went RIGHT back under ground to finish hardening. These things really are interesting when they aren't under ground for 2 months. You know, for a couple minutes at a time. Susan said Mrs. Crabs buried herself under ground so no one would see her shame. Only to perish and be eaten by her own.<br />

RIP Mrs. Crabs<br />

Loopy is sitting on his amp watching the 'silent movie' of drama and cannibalism in the crab tank.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Ballsy is burrowing to molt.<br />

Smells like something died in my couch. Guess I'll wash the cushions today and clean the carpets, THEN try some baking soda. Kids are gross.<br />

Any idea what might have spilled? Cause seriously, it smells like death.<br />
Logan completely straight faced: It was the acid. Or the poison. Probably the the poison.<br />
Kendal also straight faced: Yeah. I did that spill it. Sorry about that.<br />
Then they went back to playing like this conversation didn't just happen. I would be humored if they weren't so serious. Rethinking that sleep in/ let the kids fend for themselves on weekend thing..<br />

The kids wanted to keep him, but the Hermit crabs are taking up the tank right now. And I really don't think I could feed a living creature to a snake.. He's better off outside anyway.<br />

The other day I saw a great article that describes exactly how I feel about being a parent some days. There is so much pressure to have the perfectly organized clean houses, Make time consuming homemade dinners weeks in advance to freeze and RECOOK them later, throw huge birthday parties with f-ing petting zoos, and get overly involved in every damn thing that our kids can possibly be into. </div>

If you come to my house it will always ALWAYS be just a little messy. There will be spots on the counter, or dishes in the sink, or underwear on the floor. I won't be wearing a cute dress or blouse. But there WILL always be coffee, a comfy (mostly clean) couch, and good conversation. </div>

My name is Kara and I am a severe multitasker. I have 3 tabs open with articles I want to read, one tab with a funny video to watch, one started blog, one tab with fb history, notebook is open for blog notes, facebook newsfeed tab, and I am also watching something on tv.. you know, just for added distraction. Only a couple chat windows open though..</div>

Crap</h2>
Ok, So I asked on Facebook what blog readers would like to hear me talk about. I thought maybe I'd get a few replies because as soon as I post a blog (then link to my facebook page) the blog itself gets around 60 hits by noon the next day. SOMEONE is reading along. Or at the very least there are some creepers that scan to make sure I'm not talking shit about them on a public forum. I do that sometimes. But rarely name names. And I also do it out of spite and/or for my own amusement because sometimes passive aggression is fun. I digress.<br />
<br />
My friend Sarah had a suggestion, and since she's the first (and so far only) one to respond I'll go with her request. By the way, I've known Sarah since HomeEc in Jr. High. I sort of wish I had a picture of us together back then in all of our awkward Jr. High glory. Her wearing a <i>stunning</i> handmade vest and me with a stuffed dog <i>sewn directly</i> to my middle finger. Seriously, that shit hurt. Anyway, she suggested I write about myself.<br />
<br />
I am clearly not good at this particular subject matter. I can make a witty comment or relate to anyone else's story, status, or text. I can write an entire years worth of blogs and stories about my kids, my husband, my family, my friends and <i>their</i> stories.. But me. uh... um..<br />
<br />
Ok, lets do this.<br />
<h2>
What makes us, us?</h2>
<div>
I believe that every person is who they will be from a very young age. Your heart, your mind, your personality, your character itself is created and becoming defined when you are like 2yrs old. I believe that how you will view life and how you will react to situations is the same when you are in preschool as when you are as an adult. Whether you had a great childhood in a regular middle class family like I was blessed with or a horrific abused childhood. HOW you deal with things remains the same. I'm willing to debate that if you disagree. I like hearing people's opinions. </div>
<div>
That being said. Here a rough synopsis of how I became "Me." </div>

I am an extremely compassionate person. My friends and family mean the world to me. If someone is upset I am the first to offer advice or just listen. I enjoy helping people work through problems because I genuinly want the people I care about to be happy, or at the very least content. </div>

You should probably know that I am very blunt. I am not a fan of beating around the bush. The only problem I have with this trait is that sometimes I come across more harsh than I mean to be. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I just want to get my point across without arguing or getting off subject. </div>

Anyone who knows me is aware of my "wit" but it is often labeled as "sarcasm" The difference is my intention. I am <i>rarely</i> meaning to "convey contempt at a person's failure". I am merely being bluntly witty about a situation. But often it comes across as sarcastic rather than witty. I don't mean it that way. Calling myself witty sounds more like a compliment to myself than I am comfortable with. Who wouldn't want to have quick inventive humor? I've heard that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, (thanks for that nugget of wisdom, Dr. Phil) but I quite disagree. Sarcasm and wit are completely different and the labels in society are back-ass-wards. According to popular vote, I am sarcastic. Nope, turns out I am indeed witty, you just had the definition wrong.. (See what I did there? I'm not insulting anyone personally.. just making a witty observation) Moving on</div>

Before we got married Loopy wasn't so sure he wanted to be a dad. I knew I'd marry this guy in a heartbeat as soon as we started dating but <i>not</i> being a mother was not an option for me. I made that quite clear. Up until I was pregnant with Logan he wasn't sure he wanted to be a dad and I just hoped he'd get used to it because this has always been a part of who I am. It turns out he's a GREAT dad and parenting buddy. I sort of knew he would be. </div>

I am the calm in the storm. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am able to handle stressful situations ridiculously well. I'm not referring to the type of stress that makes mom lose her shit when kids are not listening, the house is trashed, and I'm out of coffee. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean when there is an emergency. If everyone is panicking, a friend is having a breakdown, in the hospital, or bleeding out, I am the level headed voice of reason. If you need some one to talk you down, I'm the guy. If you need a lift to the hospital and are scared or recently diagnosed with something awful, I'll be there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Along those same lines. I'd like to think I am a good friend. There are very few times when I put myself before someone who needed me. Sometimes its just a coffee talk, sometimes a good amount of drinking or just chatting online. I try to keep contact with people I care about. Maybe not as often as I should, but those that have known me the longest know that I'm reliable enough to be there in a pinch regardless of how much time has passed or how many miles are in the way.<br />

Here is a picture taken last summer of me and Caitlyn. We've been friends for about 25 years. And we've been through some shit together.<br />

This is me and my friend April about 16 years ago. She's one that I would (and have) done almost anything for. Oh the stories I could tell...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nMamij0LV2k/Uj0Xh1qYRrI/AAAAAAAAG7E/sGkARXe_X-c/s1600/552265_10151028810603400_2120096123_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nMamij0LV2k/Uj0Xh1qYRrI/AAAAAAAAG7E/sGkARXe_X-c/s320/552265_10151028810603400_2120096123_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
I don't have a picture of just me and my buddy Joe together, but this is from one particularly amazing emergency room visit we had. Joe is my #1 coffee buddy. Not many can hang with us until the sun comes up.. (except April) doesn't matter if its a sunrise over the Atlantic or Lake Michigan..<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, here's one of me, Joe, and Brad during bike week. I was pregnant with a kid. I don't remember what year this was from. Brad is pretty awesome too. And he takes me for rides on his bike, which is equally as awesome.<br />
<br />
There are too many amazing friends to list and post pictures of everyone.<br />
<br />
I sort of panic if I think a friend is drifting away. I find myself clinging to the hope of staying close and I might even lose sleep over wondering what I did wrong. Distance happens and friends come and go. I'm not ok with that. In my ideal world there would be no misunderstandings or stress between friends. I am a very social creature and <i>need </i>interaction. Some people can just be alone and ok with that. Not me. There is always FB messages, text messages, phone calls going on around here. No time is a bad time to make contact with me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UhrK-A8OFUk/Uj0fFKyg3UI/AAAAAAAAG7g/-1oLBitlisA/s1600/MjAxMy1jZWUxYTFiMDJhNmEwZTQx.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UhrK-A8OFUk/Uj0fFKyg3UI/AAAAAAAAG7g/-1oLBitlisA/s320/MjAxMy1jZWUxYTFiMDJhNmEwZTQx.png" width="320" /></a></div>
I don't typically care what people think of me. Sure, everyone wants to be liked, everyone wants to be accepted. I am not a judgmental person at all. Being judgey usually leads to drama which is something I don't like or have time for. Therefore if someone doesn't like me or thinks I am too sarcastic or weird, that's fine. They should take more time to get to know me or just move on.<br />
<br />
Now if a person I care about has a negative opinion of me I like to know. I am all for constructive criticism and open conversation. I am probably missing the friendship anyway. Communication is essential but it has to go both ways.<br />
<br />

I love learning about people and <i>WHY</i> they are who they are. I like to know about a person's past, how they feel about any given subject and <i>why. </i>People tell me things. Private things, important things, secrets.. I love that. Not because I am nosy and want to spread everyone's business. I love it because it's insight. I love it because people trust me enough to tell me things. Sometimes this comes from friends but I've also had complete strangers sit with me and just start talking about what's going on in their lives, hopes and dreams. I love every moment of it because I love people and the psychology behind them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lHEAAjCzFVw/Uj0qStEactI/AAAAAAAAG78/gz3_vF5sE-4/s1600/peace_love_psychology_light_tshirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lHEAAjCzFVw/Uj0qStEactI/AAAAAAAAG78/gz3_vF5sE-4/s200/peace_love_psychology_light_tshirt.jpg" width="200" /></a>I've joked about opening a psychology office for people who don't like doctors. I took psych and sociology classes in college but dropped out before I graduated. Therefore I learned how to talk and listen to people. I can dredge up deep dark secrets but... I don't know how to fix them. But I'll try. I'll listen, I'll give advice. I'll work for coffee and friendship. If there is a problem or subject anyone wants to discuss I've probably heard a similar story and if not I've read about it. I read Psych books in my spare time. I love the subject THAT much. Weird, huh?<br />
<br />
One of my biggest pet peeves is when grown ass people refuse to be open minded. There are lots of things in the world to be passionate about. My thing is people. Humanitarian stuff, psych stuff, helping, reaching out, being there. I think that just because someone has a different view than yourself doesn't mean they are wrong. It just means they view it differently. Some people are passionate about politics, or socialized medicine, or being vegan, or a particular parenting style, equality, religion.. the list goes on and on. Just because a person isn't passionate about what <i>you</i> are passionate about does not mean they are apathetic to the situation. It's just not what strikes a cord and gets them fired up. Grown ups should be able to have intelligent conversations rather than bickering matches with a complete refusal to see the other side of the coin. You don't have to back down in your beliefs, just accept that there are others out there. And that's ok.<br />
<br />

I am quite done talking about myself. If there is anything else you want to know, just ask. If there is something you want to say, agree or disagree with what I wrote then lets here it. But for now, I'm sick of hearing about myself and looking at myself! </div>
<div>
Here are some random pictures of me. I don't usually have pictures of JUST me in the blog. So enjoy, it proabably won't happen again! </div>

*The Bedtime Incident*</h2>
<div>
So let me tell you a little story about the time I nearly freaked the frack out. </div>
<div>
A couple days before Sean came over I reminded Logan that his best friend is coming for a few days. He said he doesn't want Sean here. And he also never wants to spend the night at Sean's house. ever. again. I asked why, he said he doesn't want to talk about it. Ok... I let it slide thinking he was just in a mood. </div>
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://gifsoup.com/view/1671293/what-you-talkin-bout-willis.html" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/1671293/what-you-talkin-bout-willis-o.gif" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
The next day I casually inquired about why he was so adamant about this. He said, and I quote, "Because of the bedtime incident. I just don't want to talk about it."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My mom sirens went off and I started to panic. The word 'incident' is more alarming than 'accident' or disagreement' or any other freakin' word in the english language. Particularly preceded by 'bedtime'. I was about to pick up the phone raise holy hell with one of my best friends. Instead I calmly said "ok" and dropped the subject. I could not wrap my brain around ANYTHING requiring such a strong description happening at this friend's house. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next night I told him it was really bothering me and I needed to know more about why he won't be friends with Sean anymore. He wasn't interested in having the conversation and I promised that I'll keep his secret and I would take care of whatever the problem was. After about 20mins of prying I got the <i>real</i> story.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some time ago (could have been weeks or months, who knows) Adriana had taken my kids for the night so me and Loopy could go do grown up things. Since I trust her with my children's lives and there has NEVER been an issue we gave hugs and kisses and went on our merry way. At bedtime Logan and Sean were talking and being silly and Logan said he called Sean a N.E.R.D (he spelled it like that when he told me this story) Now, at our house, Nerd isn't a bad word. Nerds are smart, they typically earn more money than non nerds, they understand complex things, they like to read, ect... Sean probably answered a math question correctly or something. Anyway, Sean was really upset but pretended to be thirsty and said he needed something to drink. Logan said "don't tell on me, ok?" Sean said "ok" and left the room. He DID tell his mom what Logan said. (according to new and improved bully rules, that is the right thing to do) Adriana went into the room, told Logan that isn't nice and we don't call names in this house yadda yadda yadda. She handled it correctly and the same as I would have. Logan was pretending to be asleep but obviously was not. He was just embarrassed for being in trouble. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mouth dropped. I was like wait, Lemme get this strait. <i>You</i> called Sean a name that hurt his feelings, <i>He</i> told his mom, and <i>You</i> are mad that you got in trouble? He said he's mad because Sean lied to him about getting milk and tattled when he said he wouldn't.<br />

That is all the "Bedtime Incident" was about?! I calmly told him Sean did the right thing. Adriana did the right thing and Nerd is often a derogatory word that can hurt someones feelings. He insists he didn't know that. I asked him if next time something like <i>that </i>happens can we <i>please </i>come up with a different name for the disagreement? Then I very vaguely explained things that would qualify as an actual "bedtime incident". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
THEN I contacted Adriana who was just as mortified as I was at the outlandish possibilities, scenarios and feelings that a parent would feel at a terrible alternative to what <i>actually</i> went down. Her recollection of said incident was identical to Logan's. She said I should have talked to her but understood that I wanted to get Logan's story first. </div>

I did let her know that if I thought for a second there was something more serious going on or that someone had molested or hurt my children in ANY way I would be a raving lunatic on her doorstep. With Weapons. There would be no phone call. She agreed that would be justified.</div>

Kendal: Mom, my radio has issues. My Bealtes are broken<br />

Me: there, go to sleep.<br />
Logan runs down the hall: I'm not sleepwalking this time, I am awake and I have to pee. Ooh, what is dad drilling in the kitchen? DAD!!! NEED HELP!??<br />
go to bed people, its wine time.<br />

Had an allergy attack while out shopping. Apparently I am allergic to mass quantities of Scentcy burning at the same time. (dang vendors at the consignment store) I sneezed about 50 times then my eye swelled shut. Looks like I got in a fight. Even the People of walmart looked at me funny. At least I got to hang with Chris and Beth at Houligans for a bit and was kid free for a few hours..</div>

Kendal: Oh, I just left them at home.<br />

*Crab Updates* </h2>
So I spent the time and money to get a new crabitat going, got two more crabs, new decor, it takes up our whole couch table. 2 days later they have ALL decided to molt. I haven't seen a crab for almost 4 weeks now. Lame. Pets.<br />

<br />
The kids played Little Mermaid at the pool. Ariel (Kendal) would find treasures (leaves) at the pirate ship (fence) and have King Triton (Logan) turn her into a human or mermaid and bring it to Scuttle (me) for explanation.. once or twice the Seawitch (also me) would have to torture unfortunate souls so Ariel could fall love with Prince Eric. (Also Logan) here is prince Eric swimming to save Ariel.</div>

*Take your time*</h2>
<div>
I recently read an AWESOME article on Huffington Post about taking a deep breath, slowing down, and letting your kids be kids. If you haven't read it, you should. Infact I insist that parents read this <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rachel-macy-stafford/the-day-i-stopped-saying-hurry-up_b_3624798.html">HERE</a>. That day it took us an more than 30 min to get home from the pool. Kendal was riding her bike down the sidewalk and was afraid to fall into the grass river. Also stopped to pick up some pretty rocks and found a pencil. Don't hurry if you don't have to, enjoy the scenery and learn patience from your kids. </div>

Logan: Sure, what you got for me? </div>
<div>
Mrs. Pace I have to write a 20 page essay this weekend. </div>
<div>
Logan: Pass, what else?</div>
<div>
Mrs. Pace: I think we'll get along just fine this year, Logan. </div>
<div>

Kendal did fine, said she didn't need a hug and went off to play. She was a little nervous but only because one boy was freaking out. She gave him a dinosaur.<br />

I LOVE first day of school pictures. I don't know why. I like to see how much kids grew since last year. I like to see that nervous look that they are trying to hide behind excitement.<br />

My FAVORITE back to school picture of the year is from my friend John. We went to high school together. Then he went on to be in Drum and Bugle core and college. He was the band director at a local high school for a while. This year, he is headed back to school some more. Isn't he freakin' adorable. Love you John M!!<br />

Kendal had a good first day. Caught a yellow ball on the playground, something about a dead fish, squashed blueberries, glued a heart to paper, and Ms. Amanda opened her yogurt smoothie wrong. Can't win em all. She was nervously chewing her hand when I got there.<br />
<br />
Logan's report is that there are a couple cute chicks in his class. His new friend is AJ, he loves his box car (portable classroom), and they are re-sodding the P.E. field<br />
<br />
<br />
John said he only had applesauce in his lunch and nobody wanted to trade. Aside from that it was pretty good. And he helped a blind girl find her class. Good day overall<br />

We were working on homework instead of getting ready for karate. Logan had to find 5 of his favorite things and put them in a brown bag. He chose LEGOS, pizza, video games, karate, and his new favorite book, Hitchhiker's guide.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love Coffee. Coffee flavored ice cream, coffee flavored ecig juice. ANYthing that has caffine is ok, but coffee is my 1st choice. But you should know that this equation is pretty much heaven in my blue solo cup (cause blue was on sale) </div>
<div>
Cappuccino chip ice cream</div>
<div>
+chocolate syrup</div>
<div>
+International Delight mocha iced coffee</div>
<div>
= Best. Homemade Milkshake. Ever. </div>
<div>
My friends Sarah and Jason suggested adding Kahlua or Irish Cream Both amazing ideas that will be utilized in the near future. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Confession</h2>
<div>
I left a couple events out of the other summer related blogs. A couple times this summer we might have gotten into some adult related shenanigans that involved copious amounts of alcohol, parties, and/or concerts. All were done reasonably responsibly, so don't go getting all judgey on us grown ups who need a break a couple times a year. Our kids were taken care of by other responsible babysitters/ husbands/ first aid trained teenagers at the time. We had a DD in all events documented herein. You all know I don't like judgey so if you are going to make <i>that</i> face (mom) just pretend you don't see this. </div>

We brought a couple bottles of wine as requested. But NOONE thought bring a wine opener. We tried to be classy and not drink the twist off stuff. Terrible idea. Luckily we brought Mark. Mr. Ingenuity, the Macgyver of parties and hermetically sealed beverages. Instead of a paper clip and bubble gum it was car keys and a plastic spoon. So resourceful. </div>

So I shared it with Nissa<br />

<br />
<br />
Then there was some dancing.. Luci only dances in chairs, which is pretty much the most awesome thing I've ever seen, but the video won't post here. So use your imagination.<br />

This happened to be the same night that the verdict for the Trayvon Martin trial was wrapped up. I didn't follow this at all because its not my thing.

Concert Shenanigans and vanginas</h2>
<div>
We are HUGE concert junkies. Live music makes my heart all warm and fuzzy. We've seen everyone from The Doors to The Dead including but not limited to Alice in Chains, Black Crowes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Jason Mraz, Poison, Cypress Hill, Slightly Stoopid, Further.... you get the idea. This summer we gathered a crew and got tickets to see Sublime with Rome. I've seen them around 4 times now and they are still amazing. Our plan was to drop the kids off at Adriana's, meet at Luci's house or "home base" and carpool in Christine's mini-van. Its no limo, but we all fit!</div>

Luckily we had ample amounts of tequila and beers to sustain us until the doors opened or the rain let up.<br />

Because I am also a known facebook junkie and status updater, I thought I'd let the world know what was going on... This is a really bad combination of booze, and autocorrect.. but mostly autocorrect.<br />

After a failed attempt at clearing that mess up it was time for the concert. The rain was starting to let up but there are no umbrellas allowed inside or paddle boats provided. We'd have to wade through it. </div>

I was surprised to find out that Julian Marley was one of the opening acts. He looks and acts JUST like his Dad. I would have LOVED to see Bob Marley. This might be as close as it gets. (except that once we happened upon a Ziggy Marley concert...)<br />

This girl with hair to her knees danced with Santa. For a long time. I took a picture so that there would be proof, not just tequila vision. People watching at concerts is half the fun!<br />

As for Sublime I'd say it was a great show. They played almost everything popular off of 40oz to Freedom and Sublime. A couple newer songs that they wrote with Rome. BUT I'd have to say that all band members pretty much stayed in their designated areas for the whole show and weren't animated at all. The other times I've seen them they looked more 'into it'.<br />
<br />
I don't really expect to see them touring again.<br />
<br />

There, that is my dirty little mom blog secret. </h2>
We like to get out and pretend we don't have responsibilities occasionally. Everyone needs a chance to unwind and kick back from time to time. It is a RARE occurrence that we get out of the house as a large group, sans children. Infact a couple of these girls had given birth recently and were celebrating freedom. I am pretty sure Heather T had NEVER left her kids for a concert evening without her hubby and/or kids.<br />

But that's not all!!</h2>

In October we are going to see the Black Crowes again. We went to a Crowes concert at Hard Rock when I was pregnant (and sober of coarse) with Logan. I am SO excited. Me and Loopy will be with a slightly different group including Scott (of coarse), Diane, Carol Ann and our new neighbors Sarah and Nick.. That is assuming they haven't read this and decided not to speak to us anymore.. We just met and I've never been good with first impressions... If you are reading this HI!! Please still come to the concert with us. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, Its 2:30 (again) and I need some sleep. </div>

ROCK ON!!</h2>

They grow up so fast</h2>
<div>
This evening Logan was throwing a fit because he was told to help his sister clean the play room. It turned into screaming and throwing things so he was put into his room to calm down. Where he stood and yelled "I hate you" at the door. Then he turned on his drums turned up the amp and wrote a short metal song about how he hates his parents. Loopy said "when did we get a teenager?" I agree, wtf?</div>
<h2>
Go the #@&% to sleep</h2>
<div>
<div>
11:45 comes out of his room... </div>
<div>
Logan: GUESS what!? in Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing, Fudge EATS Peter's pet turtle and he has to go to the emergency room and get x-rays and then he has to drink prune juice and then when he goes BACK to the hospital to get x-rays later the turtle isn't there in his stomach. So Peter gets a dog and names him Turtle, in memory of the turtle that Fudge ate. And now I'm done with that book. I have to pee.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
12:20 comes out of his room... </div>
<div>
Logan: Hey, how come you guys never come in to check on me anymore?</div>
<div>
Me: I'm sorry, is that why you aren't sleeping? do you want me to come tuck you in or check on you before I got to bed?</div>
<div>
Logan: Tuck me in, please</div>
<div>
Me: ok.. so what's really keeping you awake? </div>
<div>
Logan: When I get married am I still going to be able to see you? </div>
<div>
Me: Of coarse! Me and Dad are married and still get to see our parents.</div>
<div>
Logan: What if you die? </div>
<div>
Me: You getting married and my dying are not related. I am not going anywhere soon. Are you planning to get married soon? </div>
<div>
Logan: YES actually. You already know who I'm going to marry. </div>

Visit from some of our favorite people!!</h2>
<div>
Luci and Mark came over from Palm Coast to hang out. Since very few of our PC friends have made it out this way and we have still met like no one here in town we were super excited. Mark plays guitar, too.. so there was a cookout and pool in the back yard, night swimming at the big pool, and a band set up in the living room. Good Times!! </div>

Logan is sick. I am pretty sure that is strictly because I had talked about hanging out with Kari this week. Our kids have something against us getting together more than once every other month or so. At best. This also means Logan does get signed up for Karate (again) this week.</div>

Good to know</h2>
Logan: Hey Mom, If you get on Wipeout you can drink the muddy looking water. Its made of purified water, cookie dough, and modeling clay.<br />

Sometimes its best to just let them be... sometimes</h2>
Chandler comes over and knocks on the door, politely asks if Logan can play. I say "of coarse!" he runs BURSTING though the door and yells "Logan!! We have to make booby traps! I JUST watched Home Alone 3 and we need your stairs to pull this off." They spent a half hour booby trapping Kendal. Chandler had some good chain reaction ideas. Logan suggested that Chandler's mom buy them a chainsaw so they can cut a hole in the floor upstairs and Kendal will fall though...<br />
Meanwhile Kendal is doing anything C tells her to. and following him like a puppy dog. I don't think I did that to my brothers friends until Jr. High..<br />

Loopy: Kendal's super power is cuteness. She can take a man down with her voice alone.<br />
<h2>
Relax? Right....</h2>
I like when Loopy says "can you drive? I'm tired" I laugh to myself and enjoy the relaxation of driving while he gets increasingly grumpy at his new duties of 'passenger'<br />

We now have 4 hermit crabs. The newbies are Foxy and Turbo. It's risky naming crabs after their shell design. Turbo has already hopped to something more boring and Foxy is shell shopping right now.<br />

Mom confession #637 </h2>
<div>
I have been replacing half of Kendal's daily chicken nugget intake with veggie nuggets for 3 days and she hasn't noticed... I think. (There is always a few left when she's done, they might all be veggie ones left this time.)</div>
<div>
*side note, that only lasted a couple weeks and she started to pick out the veggie ones. She skipped 3 dinners in a row that were just vegan nuggets. Fail. </div>
<h2>
Why I love my friends #754</h2>
<div>
<div>
Tonight at dinner...</div>
<div>
Logan: STOP talking!! You're going to make my ears turn green. </div>
<div>
Me: Don't interrupt me and dad, its rude. Wait, what? </div>
<div>
Logan: Remember what Carol A told me!? If you I listen to grown up conversations my years will turn green. It starts in the ear lobe and goes right up to the top. THEN, if I keep listening in, they will get pointy. Like an elf or something. Please, just stop. </div>
<div>
Kendal: I LOVE THAT GUY!!!</div>
<div>
Guess we'll discuss that subject at a later time then...</div>

There are hundreds of different types of martial arts. And endless combinations thereof. After sitting in and participating in 2 or 3 'chain' type karate places we decided it was best to stick with a local dojo that doesn't charge hundreds of dollars to yell at our kid. I found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeroAcademyMA">Hero Academy</a> online and gave Sensei Michael a call. Then I called back a week later to bitch that no one returned my call. He politely said "yes I did, you were going to come in to a class...." </div>

<h3>
Logan's B-day</h3>
<div>
Logan's birthday is right smack dab in the middle of summer (July 19). For the last couple years we haven't really had a traditional party. (Last year was epic!) This year it was because we didn't have anyone we knew in town well enough to invite to a party and he didn't really make friends with kids at the new school. This year he didn't talk much about his birthday except what presents he wanted. His plans changed daily. So me an Loopy decided to surprise him with a trip to LEGO Land. </div>
<h2>
At the hotel</h2>
<div>
My kids are SUPER giddy to go on vacations. They honestly thought we were going to a hotel and that was it. And they were ok with that. Our friends Scott and Lauren live 10min from there so they came to hang out. We've tried and tried to tell them to be grateful for what they have an not expect more. (even though every sign on every wall was an advertisement for Lego Land) Maybe it's finally sinking in. OR they really like hotels which is WAY more likely.</div>

There is this driving school that the kids can attend. The little kid version was pretty much mini power wheels. You can tell which kids <i>have</i> power wheels or have driven before. Mine clearly did not. Kendal took a curb, hit the attendant, and couldn't steer and use the gas at the same time. . </div>

Some people told me that it wasn't the best place to go and there isn't enough stuff to keep everyone happy all day. I think that we missed 1/2 the park because we had to stop and look at <i>every</i>thing. I would seriously consider annual passes next year cause my kids are serious Lego Junkies. </div>

They are called Mindstorm and our friend Jon gave them to us right after Logan was born. They are old school programmable robot Legos. I think the box says 13 and up or something but the boys got it figured out and built a little rover that can map a room.. sorta like a roomba without the vacuum. Give it time, I'll find a way to make it clean the house.</div>

Disney-isms</h2>
<div>
<div>
Yesterday we were waiting for the boat at Disney and a parent said "Look, here comes the ferry boat!" her kid said "a Fairy!? you mean like Uncle Mike?" made me giggle. I love kid key words.</div>
<div>
There are no longer trash cans allowed on the fairy boat or at the monorail station platform because it would be easy to stash bombs in there. The captain was telling us about it yesterday. His name was Jean Marc. Kendal asked if he knows Jean-Michel Cousteau because they have the same name.</div>
<div>
She considers herself a Disney expert now and gives advice to strangers on rides and wait times when she is in line.</div>

Shenanigans around town</h2>
<div>
Growing up we had things like Merry go rounds, and teeter tawters, and REALLY tall metal slides with<br />
no railings or guardrails, giant metal climbing structures with too big gaps to fall through. We had this thing at school called the big M. I fell off and pretty sure I cracked a rib. We didn't die, we had survival skills. Then we found this playground. I think this is the last known merry go round in existence. My kids don't know to stop and get a feel for the spinning toy of doom before grabbing on. Logan was nearly decapitated... But I let him do it cause we survived it. Getting on playground equipment should be a skill all kids have, even if they have to lose a limb to learn.</div>

What you may have missed in May and June</h3>
<div>
I didn't blog in June. At all. And very little the rest of the summer for that matter I guess that means I was busy doing mom stuff and entertaining kids while trying not to lose my schmidt over stuff that doesn't really matter. I <a href="http://www.whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2013/07/it-has-come-to-my-attention.html">covered this subject</a> in July but it feels like there is SO much that I didn't write down. </div>

Summertime Kid-isms and reflections on spending 24 hours a day with your children for 3 months straight</h3>
<h2>
Childhood regrets</h2>
Logan: I regret 2 things in my life.<br />
<div>
<div>
Number one; Falling off my bike and getting all these scrapes and scabs. </div>
<div>
Number two: All that crazy yelling over taking a little shower. That was totally not worth it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
At least he realizes screaming like a banshee for an HOUR about not wanting to take a shower was uncalled for and worthless. He has officially learned my limit for a smart mouth and screechy yelling before I'll smack his face. We are both tired out and I need a drink. Luckily my dad sent me a Box o' booze!</div>

<h2>
Keeping things interesting</h2>
<div>
Today Kendal developed an intense irrational fear of the kitchen. No idea what that's all about.</div>
</div>
<h2>
Enough already</h2>
<div>
<div>
Logan: *unintelligible whining. </div>
<div>
Kendal walking out of the room: I cant stand that whining, knock that off.</div>
<div>
Logan: JUST STOOOOOOP</div>
<div>
Kendal: Seriously! Just be quiet. SSShhhh</div>
<div>
Logan: Keeeeendaaaal........</div>
<div>
Kendal: Oh. My. Gosh. Quit it now. </div>
<div>
It worked!! He stopped</div>
</div>
<h2>
Jinxed it.</h2>
<div>
<div>
Kendal's cuteness today is overwhelming. She is currently singing a song to her little people while dropping monopoly houses down the back of her shirt. She tried to explain it to me but gave up because I "just don't get it". I love when she gets lost in her own little 4yr old world. </div>
<div>
Logan is building his own world in SimCity and destroying it with natural disasters and monsters. </div>
<div>
I like easy afternoons. (knock on wood)</div>
</div>
<h2>
Harbinger of things to come</h2>
<div>
<div>
Kendal hitting on Logan's friend Chandler: I like you and you are my favorite. I'm a girl, I like your pants. I have a colorful shirt and dress..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kendal playing with her Ariel doll from Little Mermaid</div>
<div>
Kendal: She has theeeese (pointing at Ariel's boobs) Do you have those too? (looking down my shirt) </div>
<div>
Me: Yes.</div>
<div>
Kendal: I have some here too (pulls up her shirt) Well where did they go? </div>
<div>
Me: Where did what go? </div>
<div>
Kendal: Mine like those (pointing at me)</div>
<div>
Me: Boobs? </div>
<div>
Kendal: Yes! I can't find mine</div>
<div>
Me: You'll get there honey</div>
<div>
Kendal goes and sits next to her new friend Chandler and puts her head on his shoulder: Hi, remember me? I'm Kendal. I was just over there. I'm back now.</div>
</div>
<h2>
Being prepared</h2>
<div>
You know the kid are having fun when you are compelled to google things like "closest emergency room" just in case. And you find yourself saying things like "please don't ride your brother up the stairs"</div>
<h2>
Weird ass keyword searches...</h2>
<div>
My favorite <a href="http://www.whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-weird-ass-keyword-searches.html">weird blog search keyword</a>s of the month goes toooooo "rubber pants spanking tube" By the way, don't google that. Just. Dont.</div>
<h2>
Gay: Adj; Happy, Joyful</h2>
<div>
Remember a couple months ago when Logan asked me "what does Gay mean?" and we looked in his dictionary and it says "happy, joyful" ect. We went with that because frankly, all the gay people I know really are happy and joyful (and sexual preference isn't important to a 6yr olds or us) . Anyway, yesterday the kids were playing in the rain with umbrellas and Logan ran to the middle of the cul de sac and started singing loudly "I have an umbrella, dancing in the rain, I'm so gay. Its a gay day to dance in the rain. I love to sing about being so gay in the rooooad. So gay so gay so gay" So much for trying to make a good impression with the neighbors. I think we offended the guy across the street.<br />

<h2>
Overheard.</h2>
<div>
Logan: Would you like me to lock you in a cold dark room to see what it feels like? </div>
<div>
Kendal: Ok, but I don't like the dark</div>
<div>
Logan: I have to do it at night. </div>
<div>
Kendal: I would like the morning better</div>
<div>
Logan: Ok, tickets please.. </div>
<div>
Kendal: Crap, Logan. This is probably a bad idea.</div>
</div>
<h2>
Just a thought</h2>
<div>
Sometimes its best to just get something off your chest. Why can't people just be honest and say what is on their mind? Why do so many people create unnecessary drama by making assumptions and accusations? Sigh. I am grateful for other honest friends with a low tolerance for bullshit. Thanks for listening to me rant until 4am.</div>
<h2>
Worth a shot</h2>
<div>
Going to take Logan to sit in on a Martial Arts class tomorrow evening. He is incredibly nervous and I am super excited for him to maybe learn structure and discipline in a different environment. Couple more places to call and set up the same thing before we decide on a place. </div>
<div>
<h2>
Schedule check</h2>
<div>
This just in: today is Wednesday, not Tuesday. If it wasn't for that sunburn we would have gone to Karate tonight about 3 hours late. Terrible first impression avoided.</div>
</div>
<div>
<h2>
Try again</h2>
<div>

He had a private lesson with an instructor to learn replies and moves. Then joined in a small group of white belts to learn basic moves, how to get away from a stranger, nunchuk 101, board breaking, and he even earned his white belt. At one point he said "I can't do this" while attempting the splits and everyone in the room stopped and started chanting "Yes I can" until he joined in, then they applauded him. He LOVED that. Day 1 was a success.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*we decided against this specific place. After getting your kid hooked with 3 free classes you are required to pay several hundred dollars upfront plus uniform and weapons. AND sign a contract for a year with no refunds. F that. We found a reasonable Dojo that we really like. More on that next time.</div>
<h2>
Figures</h2>
<div>
Every year we set up a pool in the back yard and every year the kids get all excited to be the one who hold the hose to fill it, they spend HOURS in and out of the house playing and swimming. This year the pool is big enough for me to lay around in with them and they want NOTHING to do with it. If you need me this afternoon I'll be floating by myself in my own little pool </div>

<div>
<div>
Me: Logan, put some sun block on please so you don't get burned</div>
<div>
Logan: No. I don't want to.</div>
<div>
Me: You'll be pretty sorry later</div>

Later that evening. </div>

<div>
Me: Yup, Lookit that</div>
<div>
Logan: Its hurrrrts, I need aloe!</div>
<div>
Me: Soooo, you DO care then</div>
<div>
Logan: OK!! I learned my lesson. Always listen to your parents. </div>
<div>
Me: Finally!!</div>
<div>
Seems mean but every time I ask him to do something and for a good reason he says "I don't care". I was tired of arguing.</div>
</div>
<h2>
Some days suck</h2>
<div>
I am not a fan of this day so far. Kendal has had a couple awesome tantrums. One because I wouldn't give her candy at 7am and one because I reminded her she's too big for binkies. Logan has been having a constant tantrum because his sunburn is bothering him. I am pretty sure he'll never set foot outside without sunblock again in his life. Not because the burn is THAT bad but because he is completely intolerant of anything uncomfortable. Pretty sure the lawn guy is going to report me because Logan was screaming like a banshee during a bath... that he refused to sit down for. I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee.</div>
<h2>
Everyone is happier post coffee</h2>
<div>
Kids invented a game called skydivers. Logan's is named Fast Bomb. Kendal's is Slow Feather. Pretty sure Logan named them.<br />

The water company has been sending our bill to the wrong address for 3 months. I was just doing dishes and getting ready to make the coffee and a city worker just came and shut it off. Lovely. It was supposed to be corrected months ago when we got our proof of residency for Logan's school in March. When Loopy went in to ask about the bill to pay it a month ago they didn't accept debit card and our checks have the wrong address. When they finally sent us a bill YESTERDAY their online system was down. Assholes. </div>

Parenting tip #356</h2>

<div>
Although crunch berries CAN be used as replacement balls for Hungry Hungry Hippos, they should NOT be. Not sure I'll ever get the crumbs out of there.</div>

Pool party</h2>
<div>
Some friends were staying in Orlando at a resort. When we got there a pool party was in progress. Logan did some karaoke<br />

Side effects of 4yr old stylist</h2>
<div>
I have some shopping and cleaning and laundry to do but i have to wait for these nails to dry. It might take a while... its pretty thick in a few spots. Kendal telling me how grown up she is now make it worth the spills, stains on my favorite yoga pants, and sticky nails.</div>
<h2>
Even a caveman can do it</h2>
<div>
<div>
Logan on Cavemen: Back when there were cavemen, there were only men and they had big hairy beards because they didn't have trimmers. </div>
<div>
me: there and to be cavewomen SOMEWHERE, they are the ones that have babies, remember?</div>
<div>
Logan: they probably only had one and kept her in the baby making cave.. when they needed anther guy for hunting they'd just go get one from her. </div>
<h2>
Logan on style</h2>
<div>
Logan: you should paint my fingernails and toenails too. </div>
<div>
Me: I only have pink, blue, and purple</div>
<div>
Logan: yeah, but I am a rock n roll punk. When a boy dresses up in girls stuff and he's in a band it makes him more metal or punk.. so its ok. I'll take blue nails and purple toes. </div>
<div>
Me: ... I can't argue with that... but please stop putting on my makeup, you are making a mess. </div>

I am about ready to throw these new curtain rods through the window. There is so many plates and cinder blocks in this exterior wall that I can't find a spot where I can screw all 6 support brackets evenly or at least even sort of evenly. Now there are holes all over. I need a swim break and these whiny arguing kids need a change of scenery. $@*&!!!!!</div>

Every time we leave the house Kendal MUST bring <i>something</i>. I am ok with this because for some reason she is convinced that she must be holding something at all times. If she doesn't have something in her hand she chews on said hand until it is filled with an object that she likes. This last weekend it was a stuffed monkey that her best friend Carol Ann gave her. (Carol Ann is actually MY friend but she has completely won over Kendal's affection) </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kendal's problem is that she tends to leave her stuff in random places like the belt isle at Walmart or the shopping cart at Publix or the dollar section of Target. Luckily I can usually pinpoint the place where she set down that day's favorite thing and found something shiny or squishy to put into her hand instead. Last weekend she left her monkey in Mexico while touring the countries in Epcot. She suddenly had to pee while coloring a Perry the Platypus on a stick. She had set her monkey down to put a marker in her hand and her seat was taken when we got back from the bathroom. It wasn't until she was trying to convince me to buy her a squishy moose in Germany (because her hand was empty) that she realized the monkey was gone. Instant sad face which evolved into teary eyes, then into silent sobs. Within minutes we had a blubbering Kendal ball on the floor. We jumped a boat back to Mexico and the people next to us asked Logan why his sister was sad. He said, with a perfectly straight face "My sister left her monkey in Mexico." This is how kid-isms happen.</div>
<div>
<h2>
We love Disney.. A LOT</h2>
</div>
<div>
We did a lot of stuff this summer but for the most part we spent weekends at Disney World. Kendal is pretty sure that "Disney" refers to only Magic Kingdom. It is the park we visit most and she LOVES it. Sometimes we all go as a family, sometimes I take just one kid or Loopy takes a kid. One of our favorite adventures was the 24 hour Disney Marathon to celebrate Monsters University.<br />

When they say the park is filled to capacity on holidays such as 4th of July, they aren't joking. BUT they do let passholders in. Insider tip, if you don't show your pass right away you get coupons for 1/2 off meals for the day! Plus shoulder to shoulder people up and down Main Street is something you have to experience to understand.<br />

That about sums up every weekend in Summer. We don't always take pictures cause it really is the same thing over and over. But we love every minute of it! Now that we have that out of the way I can get back to filling in the gaps and gathering a whole summer worth of Kid-isms. Hopefully it won't be Christmas by the time I get around to it. Since both the kids are in school (more on that later, and YAY) I should have more time to keep up.<br />
<h2>
It's been more than a year!!</h2>
<div>
Looking back at old posts, which I do from time to time I realized that I started this blog LAST summer. So much has changed for the better this last year its awesome to go back and reminisce! Lots of people just started following along in the last couple months, so to you noobs I recommend checking out how it all started<a href="http://www.whykidsaregreat.blogspot.com/2012/07/welcome-to-crazy.html"> HERE</a>. </div>

Welcome back googlers and other search engine users </h3>
<h3>
(but mostly google, cause my stat watcher tells me so) </h3>
<h3>
Again, I hope you found what you are looking for!</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been accumulating another fabulous list of Weird Ass Keyword Searches for the last 6 months. I hope to keep this up in the future because every time I look at my automatically generated list that blogspot provides I am fascinated by the strange things people search for. And ever so humored by the things that they found instead. And I think you should all see them, too.<i> I am watching you... </i>(some of you are just terrible at using search engines... )</div>
<div>

Ok, we need to talk...</h3>
<div>
I wasn't going to put this list up. Because it will bring MORE of these hits to my page. But I have noticed that there are lots of these types of searches going on. There are no dirty picture of my kids here, and there never will be. If you are ever here, coming to MY blog looking for nasty-ness you should know that if I can look up IP addresses by search then so can anyone else who cares to take notice of you. Knock the shit off. I sincerely hope you get caught being a pervert. If you are searching for these things and dont mean any harm.. also knock that shit off. What is wrong with you people? </div>

Bacon Cake</h3>
<div>
Once I had a kid-ism where Loopy spelled out C-A-K-E and Logan yelled "THAT SPELLS BACON!!" THAT particular little combination of words got the MOST random hits on the blog. I posted a picture as well, so we get image search hits too. Sorry I don't have the recipe for this Interweb wanderers, but back by popular demand, in all variations:</div>

If any of you have ever had a conversation with my 4yr old, you may know that sort of has her own language. Although she has gotten significantly better in the last several months, we have a few things are are working on. Like Pronouns, she ALWAYS gets them backwards. This is a list I've compiled over the last couple years of the most misused words in the Kendal Language. I would apologize for the bad words, but she is 4, she isn't swearing on purpose.. Plus, its funny when she asks if frogs like Chex with peanuts. Oh, she also stutters at the END of her words (sort of like her own echo), for added effect. </div>

I have had a couple realizations in the last 2 months.</h3>
<h2>
1. Something will be neglected. Always.</h2>
For a while, I was REALLY good at blogging. I did it once a week, or even a couple times a week. But I tended to fail at doing dishes, or laundry, or entertaining my kids. I am not sure I vacuumed for like a month while you all enjoyed reading witty quips about parenting.<br />

2. A surprising number of people read my bog. </h2>
Friends and family (some of whom I had NO idea were interested in our lives) let me know they miss reading it. So to those of you in "Why Kids are great withdrawals" I apologize. I'll try to get my shit together and fit this hobby in a little more often.<br />

Kendal got enrolled in a pre-k for the fall. She'll be going to a Methodist preschool in town. She was pretty excited and brought her Dinosaur and Imaginary Umbrella.<br />
<br />
Starting sometime in August she will be gone from 9am-2pm three days a week. I'm not sure what I'll do with myself.<br />

Logan made it through the rest of 1st grade. He is pretty excited to be going to a new and closer school next year. We are embracing summer and just forgetting about that hiccup in the road of childhood. We celebrated by getting him his annual mohawk.<br />

<br />
I DID cut her hair, but just a little bit. there were a couple really long bits that kept getting tangled. It wasn't perfect, but curly hair is pretty forgiving. Here she is with Logan's friend Chandler, who she loves. Chandler's dad works with Loopy<br />

Hermit crabs that is. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but Logan's buddy Nick lost interest in the little critters so Logan decided to adopt them. There are two of them, now renamed Mr and Mrs Crab. We are original, no?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Susan was (not) oh so sad to see them go. So I try to give her regular updates on how things are going. It tends to turn into a pubic (ish, cause its facebook) conversation for everyone's reading amusement.<br />

Dear Susan,<br />

Thank you for the hermit crabs. They are hours of amusement... like 3 minutes at a time because really, they don't do much. Here is our latest update: The large crab finally emerged from the coconut, he seems to be wearing the same shell and looks huge. He is ridiculously skiddish and rarely come out for us. Loopy is scared of him. (Seriously) The green shelled crab suddenly shell hopped yesterday to a larger more swirly shell. Today we checked on her and she has moved BACK to the green shell. This is not normal (I think) Logan is mad because she has pinched him twice. What should we do while we camp this weekend? Leave them a larger water dish?<br />
<br />
Nina: Have you seen coconut crabs?! Google it and allow your mind to be blown. I almost threw up.<br />
<br />
Susan: What?! They aren't the most awesome pets EVER?! I'm. shocked. First, I don't blame Loopy, the big one is pretty big and very creepy. Did the big one molt? Did you ever see the skeleton laying next to him? If he did, he will be skiddish for a little while as his new exoskeleton continues to harden. The green-shelled one has hopped a couple of times to a new shell, and then always goes back to the green shell. I bought those shells in the cage trying to find one that Princess Crab likes. Maybe that's the problem, she won't be happy unless it's blinged out. Maybe you could bedazzle one of those. While you're camping, yes, I would just put a bunch of water in there. Leave it on a screened back porch if you have one, so the humidity stays high. Maybe wrap a lot of the screen with saran wrap, to keep the humidity high since you won't be there to spritz their high-maintenance a**es. Love them! Miss them!<br />
<br />
Me: I never saw the exoskeleton, he never came out of the coconut. I am not going to 'bedazzle' my crabs shell, you spoiled her and now I have to de-spoil. Thanks for that. Maybe if she stops pinching people and flipping her food dish I will reward her with a newer more fancy shell from Pet Smart, right now she is a bitch.<br />
<br />
Susan: Maybe she'd quit being a bitch if you bedazzled her shell.<br />
<br />
Me: oh sure, I'll get right on that. What's her favorite color /eyeroll<br />
<br />
Susan: Green.<br />
<br />
Me: ugh.<br />
<br />
Susan: I'm loling<br />
<br />
Me: I'm shaking my head in disgust.<br />
<br />
Me: Dork.<br />
<br />
Susan: Dork lover.<br />
<br />
Me: Guilty.<br />
<br />
Andea: best conversation I've seen on my FB newsfeed today.<br />
<br />
Me: If you tell me I won more fucking hermit crabs...<br />
<br />
Joan: This made me laugh out loud ... thanks girls, your more fun the a couple of hermit crabs:)<br />
<br />
Candice: I love this<br />
<br />
Me: This is what Parenthood will do to you Candice. Just a heads up, welcome to motherhood.<br />
<br />
Heather: This is hilarious!<br />

Mrs. Crabs kept hopping from shell to shell without molting but always went back to her green sparkly one. The most recent move was into a pointy shell that makes her look quite intimidating. I took her green shell away. Mr. Crabs is also a chronic hopper and I'm not sure what shell he's in today. They drink more water than I thought a tiny thing could (or spill it) and enjoy filling their salt water dish with mulch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once Logan took Mr. Crabs out to show a friend and forgot about him. He was found several hours later by the sliding door under the blinds.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Oh yeah, I went up in a tiny plane!</h2>
We all had those friends in high school that were ALWAYS getting into trouble with you. I had lots of them. Come to think of it, I certainly was the common denominator... Anyway. One of my best trouble making friends was Wendy. Oh the stories I could tell (but won't tell here for incriminating reasons) She was in town from Atlanta to photograph some race in Daytona and wanted me to come over and hang out at the track. I am morally opposed to such nonsense for reasons I won't list here. (because some people like race stuff and I don't want them to stop being my friends) She happens to know and was staying with a dude who is a pilot (in training apparently, we'll discuss that later) on Memorial day I get this text "hey, we are thinking about renting an airplane, wanna come flying?" I think yeah, ok.. whatever. Then I get another text telling me to be down there asap, the plane is rented for 3pm. Wait, really?<br />

<br />
Here are the things that I consider highlights of the flight<br />
1. We got up around Daytona Beach without incident when Scott, our pilot noticed someone (Jason, the instagram master) had not closed his door tightly. You know when you're driving down the road and notice there is a door ajar, so you open and close it real quick? Its sorta like that, only a few hundred feet up in the air.. with wind resistance.<br />
2. We enjoyed the view over Daytona, south to Ponce Inlet to see the lighthouse and Disappearing Island and the winding waterways. It was amazing!<br />
3. Somewhere over Deland we were enjoying some free falls and tight turns when this noise went off, LOUD in our headphones "DING!! TRAFFIC. DING!! TRAFFIC" apparently this means there is another plane really close by. We ducked and weaved and couldn't find this plane that was supposedly within a couple hundred feet of our roof. That was less awesome, but everyone loves adrenaline, that is why we are in a cessna with a dude I just met!<br />
<br />
Once safely on the ground our Stellar Pilot Scott informed us he's never flown with people in the plane before. In hindsight I am glad he waited to tell us and I didn't ask earlier. I might have missed out on that experience. Wendy is lucky I trust her with my life. I highly recommend giving this a shot if you ever get the chance! We all went out drinking after this, it was well deserved after our first experience with airborn evasive maneuvers "DING!! TRAFFIC"<br />
<h2>
"Camping"</h2>
<div>
I say "Camping" because to me, Camping is in tents. I am not going to complain about this adventure, because it could not have been more awesome. It was planned months in advance for my friend's son Ben's birthday weekend. We rented a bunch of cabins over in Flagler Beach at Bulow Plantation. </div>

I got there a day later than the others because Kendal was sick. Oh, and THIS was happening. ----></div>

Loopy had to work Thursday and Friday so I took the kids down alone. He is also pretty sure that camping in Florida in the summer isn't fun. He sees it as an endurance test and wants no part of it. One time about 10yrs ago I got all our camping gear together for Labor Day and was ready to go. He decided he wasn't up to it and so I called Joe and who went out, got a tent and some supplies and we went without him and sweated our asses off on our own. It was hot as hell, hiking was ridiculous, the water was too warm and brain eating amoebas were taking over the lake.. but we had a good time anyway.<br />

THIS was nothing like that. Each family had our own air conditioned cabin with bunk beads and a double bed. We brought sheets and pillows and food. Heather brought a microwave, Carol Ann brought kiddie pools and screen tents. Her brother brought more booze than we could drink in several sittings.. it was my kinda camping!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The location was stellar as well with putt putt golf and volleyball right across the dirt road. Oh, and an unoccupied cabin filled with Legos.<br />
<br />

<br />
Our first day there the kids were playing in the "kids cabin" and jumping from bed to bed, wrestling around. Dylan pretended to be dead at some point during rough housing. My Hero Boy swung into action and checked for breathing. Dylan was holding his breath (for optimal effect) and Logan started CPR. Dylan came running out of the cabin coughing and spitting. Logan came out all upset because he "was just trying to save his life!" Clearly mouth to mouth is effective. I guarantee that boy will never fake death again. At least not with Logan around.<br />

Kendal was fighting a fever and had allergy issues. I kept her drugged with tylenol and Clariton all weekend. She was a trooper and did very little whining. When she got hot or tired she'd go lay on her bed and watch movies on Carol Ann's portable DVD player. She spent most of the weekend putt putt golfing.<br />

She was upset with Jenna the first day but they made up and played really well together.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't see much of Logan. Like I said. There was an entire cabin designated to LEGOS and boy stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
Loopy showed up and some of our other Palm Coast friends came out to play too. They brought guitars. Even the kids had some guitars. I LOVE when music breaks out at a campsite.<br />
