The Past Few Days.

I have been terrible about blogging this last week or so.

I blame it on July and vacation.

So here is what we've been up to the last few days.

Here's Isabelle helping me make Kimchi.

 

Here are the kids playing in a big dirty box.

I wanted to close the doors and leave them there for a while,

but I am pretty sure that would be child abuse, so I restrained myself.

 

This is William doing push ups.

 

 

Just kidding, it was actually William having a temper tantrum in the driveway.

He began this in the sun, after about 10 seconds he decided it would be better to finish it in the shade.

They just had to help Grandpa with the tractor.

 

I doubt he could have done it without them.

 

What is it about machinery and dirt that attracts children?

William inspected the lights for us.

 

Luckily for us they were just fine.

He also got his arm stuck in his dump truck.

Luckily for him I pulled it out without the aide of butter or dish soap.

The weather was so nice that swimming became a necessity.

 

And a little art occurred too.

 

That pretty much wraps up the last few days for us.

Holy Moley!

My least favorite part of being a parent (so far) is teething.

I really hate it.  I am pretty sure my children hate it too.

It takes over a year to get it over with and done.

Somehow it always catches me by surprise.  

I think things like "Why have I changed 8 poopie diapers today?" and "When did my child get such a nasty personality?  Could he have been possessed by demons?"

Then within a few days I see their new tooth pop up and I think "How long have I been a parent, shouldn't I know what's going on by now?"  This thought is followed by massive amounts of guilt for not being patient, loving and understanding with the little demon.

Liam has had 2 molars break through in the last week and I think the last 2 are well on their way.  

Molars are like the final test just to make sure you had fun with the entire teething process.

We are probably going to have a party when he gets those last 2 molars in completely.

I also wonder what other crazy parents think when they start potty training an 18 month old.  Really?  You want to potty train and teeth at the same time?  That's flat out insane! 

So Liam this is your mommy saying "I'm sorry I was cranky with you.  I'm sorry teething has hurt you and made you feel all yucky.  You are almost done - keep up the good work, and push those babies up as fast as you can! Love you!"
