Its been a while since I have written and so much has happened. Biggest thing is I went to my first PTA meeting.
It is a mix of the 'cool parents', the 'serious parents', the 'I'm here to get out of the house parents' and the "I am involved in everything parents'. Guess which one I fall into???
I went to get out of the house and realized that I am not really the PTA type. Its very serious and I am not a very serious type in meetings like that.
Oh well, the kids got to play in the library conference room with the student council 'babysitter' and someone actually changed Kenny's poopy diaper. Can it get any better???
I don't want to be on the Spring Fling committee, the coin drop committee, the ice cream social committee or the rollerskating committee. I said I would help where needed but not sign up for anything at this point. Have to check my calendar, need to see how work is going to be, Kenny is allergic to milk & soy etc..... There was a small group that looked impressed that I could come up with an excuse so quickly and then the rest looked at me like a traitor.
I don't think I like the militant PTA ladies so I'll stick with who I like and help with ice cream. I hear you get in early to set up and eat your ice cream before the rest of the masses show up. I am ok with that!!

Sunday, May 3, 2009
It is a rainy Sunday morning and the house is quiet EXCEPT for the only early riser in the family - Kenny. Kenny wakes up by 6:30 every morning. The girls never got up this early, not since they were waking every 4-6 hours to eat.
Anyway, yesterday I took Katie and Lexie to the Discovery Museum and then to Olive Garden for dinner. I have decided that a Childrens Museum is a great place to teach your child how to 'take care of themselves". Lexie and Katie were playing in the Silver Diner area - I was sitting in a booth waiting for service perusing the menu when I hear a screach come from the 'kitchen'. I look over to see Katie on the verge of tears, a small scrunchy faced little girl with perfect pigtails, a pressed dress and shiney shoes and Lexie looking very 'big sister'. Apparently the scrunchy faced girl took Katies plate that she had been piling high with food for me. Katie screached and Lexie came to her rescue, telling the girl to 'GIVE IT BACK OR I AM GOING TO TELL YOUR MOTHER'. Scrunchy face ran over to her mom and told her a 'big' girl yelled at her and was being mean. With that the perfectly couffed woman walked into the kitchen and asked who yelled at her daughter. I started to rise from the booth (not an easy feet, it is meant for a 4 yr. old) only to watch Lexie stand up and say that she did because her daughter was being mean. If she is going to be mean she is not allowed to play with us!! With that Lexie looked over at me to see if she was in trouble. Ms. perfect hair took her daughters hand and walked away. Score one for the good guys!!
I am so proud!!

A little sad
So Kristin and the chicklets are nearly off on their New England adventure...and I'm a little sad. I have that 'not sure what to do with myself' feeling..I'm sure i'll be fine..but i do not look forward to walking into an empty house tonight. I tend to wander around a while, making noises that makes it seem like someone else is there....(without scaring myself)...tv on, radio, talk on the phone...something that makes it seem less empty..until I go to sleep with no one to snuggle with...I'm just gonna miss them a lot...but I have fabulous organizational plans to get to work on...where to begin!???? The Easter Bunny will be bringing organization and decluttering to our house this Easter! just need a few shots of caffeine and I'll be ready to GO!! wish me luck! I hope all you Olsen girls have lots and lots of fun and I promise to be there next time!!!!!!!!! xoxo

Getting Ready & remembering.....
Can't wait to get up to Mass & NH.
Lexie asked if we could move up there so that she could be around her cousins. "It would be like having a big brother and lots of little brothers and sisters." I reminded her that she can spend summers up there if she ever wants, just to let me know and I'll clear with the reservation specialists in New England.
Can you believe that Cody is graduating from HS?????? When did that happen?? On the day he was born I had moved to Long Island four days earier, my hair was shaved on the sides and I was 30 pounds lighter. I was driving a little red geo storm and was wearing short skirts (above the knee) and t-shirts when ever I felt like it, not just for work. I didn't know how to pay an electric bill and I could fill my gas tank for $11, on Long Island. I smoked but cigarettes were only $2.50 a pack and I could actually drink more than two beers without feeling buzzed.
Wow, how things have changed......

Just cause
OK, just need a reality check -
We are at the park - why is there always one mom who is a door mat for their child and make the rest of us suffer for it? I don't get it.
I am standing by the slide with my 15 month old peanut perched precariously on the top (the slide is about three feet long) trying to push himself down. He loves to get himself started, he thinks it is the funniest thing. Anyway, while the peanut is at the top of the baby slide this child, who I will refer to as 'the door', runs to the slide and starts climbing up from the bottom. Kenny is still trying to push him self down - its hard to get started with a full diaper - and this child is climbing up towards him. I step in and tell the 'door' that she needs to back down or my child will end up hurting her because he is coming down the right way. Peanut has now succeeded in starting to slide and 'the door' is still climbing. I now have two options - get to the Peanut and stop him while allowing this obnoxious child to continue to climb or let Peanut bash into her, probably sending her backwards down the slide on to the dirt spot in the mulch at the end of the slide. Turns out I didn't have a chance - the 'door' grabbed Peanut by the feet in order to help herself climb up the slide - Peanut, being on the downward slide, was no help in her quest so they both went flying down the slide. Peanut ended up laying down on the slide with his feet hanging over the edge and kicked the girl in the face - he thought it was very funny. The 'door' proceeded to start screaming bloody murder and saying that my Peanut kicked her and wouldn't let her use the slide.
Enter the 'mat'. Ms. Mat, who was standing five feet away from the slide watching the whole thing take place walked over to the 'door' and picked her up and proceeded to tell her that the little boy was rude for hurting her and that his mommy would punish him for being so mean. Enter Momzilla (me). I picked up Peanut and told the little girl that she needs to use the ladder to the slide and not go up the wrong way - I told Ms. Mat that she needs to remind her daughter to wait her turn and not be a nasty child for telling lies when we all watched what she did. Ms. Mat told me that her daughter was on the slide first (weren't you little 'door', sweety) and that the mean boy needs to be taught how to be a big boy. I told her that until she taught her daughter how to use the playgroup correctly that she should keep her home so more children don't get hurt. I told her that the police don't like it when they have to be called because an out-of-control child is running amok on the play ground with the parent watching.
Enter Mr. perfect weekend father - Mr. pwf comes over and tells Ms. Mat that his son has had several run ins with the 'door' and that it was time to teach her how to play with children correctly and use her manners. With this the 'door' kicks Ms. Mat so she is let down from her arms and runs off directly towards the geese nest. There is a sign warning people to beware of the geese due to the nest in the area - they get pretty mean. Mr. pwf tells Ms. Mat that she may want to get her child before the geese get her. We all turn around to see 'door' standing in the middle of a group of geese who are hissing. Ms. Mat takes off running to save the 'door' and Mr. pwf thanks me for doing something he has wanted to do for weeks and I take my peanut and Chiclets to get some ice cream.
What's up with that?? (not the ice cream part, you know what I mean)

I'll post pictures but T-Ball was great. Lexie, who played 3rd base, went after every ball and Katie didn't move at all unless she was asking for hot chocloate or walking off the field to tell me her nose was cold.
They got up to bat three times and ran the bases each time. Katie choose not to touch second base at all, it is faster to run from first to third is a straight line, just in case you weren't sure. They had their helmets for batting (Katie pink, Lexie blue) and both have a hole in the back for pony-tails. Lexie needs one but Katie not so much, however if you have a place for a pony tail you need to have a pony tail in your hair. We may need to get extensions for the next game. We will miss a few games while we are in the New England area but when we get back - it should be a bit warmer so they won't need to wear sweat pants UNDER their very large baseball pants. Katie could pull her pants over her cleats - 'look Mommy, this will keep my feet warm'.
Pictures will follow - they both did great!!!
Kenny just wanted to wander around and was doing everything possible to squeeze himself through the holes in the fence so he could be in the dugout with his sisters. Pushing, pulling, grunting, banging - nothing seemed to open the fence holes any larger. It is hard to be 15 months old!! For the last few days he has been doing face plants on the wood floors. I guess he hasn't learned yet that you need to put your hands out if you are falling - of course it doesn't help much that he usually has some sort of food product in his hands as the time. Once the head starts to fall it just pulls the rest of the body over = not much time to react. SAVE THE FOOD.
Can't wait to go up North in a few days. It will be interesting, this is my first 6 - 8 hour trip with the kids by myself. Bathroom breaks will be my favorite - I am sure of it!!!

Friday night....t minus 12 hours until the first official tee ball practice for Lexie and Katie...this coach is VERY excited!!! I can only hope that my enthusiasm for the game of baseball will somehow be contagious and they will also find that passion. Our first home 'practice' last weekend was interesting to say the least. We are still trying to figure out if Katie is in fact the lefty we think she is. My take is that she's probably ambidexterous and will make it to the majors without much problem...pitching for the....RED SOX of course! I heard they lost Curt someone or other so they are probably looking for some replacements in their farm system...so we'll keep working...she's got the attitude down...puts down her glove...and walks away "Mama, I'm bored....wanna play hopscotch?"...what can I say these pro athletes are not easy to work with. Lexie has surprisingly taken to catch like she's been doing it forever. Last weekend her an I had our first catch and she yelled at me for not "throwing the ball"...who knew? So needless to say, I'm anxious to see how they take to the 'team sport' tomorrow...there will be pictures to follow...promise! Wish us luck!!!

Ok - I think it will work now. Can you send Lexie the organizer up here? I have hit a wall as far as far as the setting up house goes. Things are out of the boxes, but now they're just all over the place - like the couches in the living room are covered in picture frames. I really need to paint something - the kitchen, the family room, the dining room, bathroom. My art room is a mess. People here are very nice, though I'm still trying to figure out the different groups. Luckily, I've made "friends" with people in different groups, so I guess I can take my time before I pledge (I'm still not sure when rush week is). I'm sorry this is brief, but I'm going to sign off and try to go to bed somewhat early tonight!

So far this week....
Just wanted to share -
Lexie lost a tooth Monday night while having a snack before bed. She likes to hold on to her teeth for a few days before they go to the tooth fairy for her to work her magic so it was put in the 'treasure chest' waiting for her attachment to wain. On Tuesday morning while I was walking her into her classroom she lost a second tooth (actually the sixth but the second for the week). I thought she would be upset about having to go to the nurses office and have to walk into the class late. As it turns out she LOVES the nurses office because where you sit when you are not 'sick' is right in front of all the nurse things - band aids, gauze pads, tick sticks, bactine etc. and the nurse will let you help her 'organize' if you are good. Lexie LOVES to organize things so the nurses office is her new favorite place and now we have two teeth waiting on the tooth fairy!!
Kenny's vocabulary now consists of - Shu (shoe), Nuh (Lexie), AE (Katie), NaNa (banana), baba(cup), pi pi (pacifier), Bye (bye), Hi (hi), Mama (only when he is absolutely disgusted that no one is helping him reach something or he is being kept from a very important part of the house - upstairs) it sounds something like Maaaamaaa and if he were a 16 yr. old girl it would have a head tilt and an eye roll attached to it.
He likes to carry shoes around - if they have a strap, like a mary jane, that is even better. He love to tackle you if you are sitting on the ground. He backs up a few inches and then runs at you with his head leading the way and falls into you with a very loud squeal! He pushes you off of him and starts again. He likes to do this for an hour at a time. I am sure he would do it longer but I started to get tired.
I dropped Katie off at school today and while eating her second breakfast (as she does every morning) she said SHIT really loud and pounded her hand on the desk. Confused and slightly embarrassed by the sight of Larry in a towel - I asked her to repeat what she said to be sure I heard it right. Well, before she could answer the other 3 kids also eating breakfast at the table yelled 'she said SHIT'. The breakfast club is a tight group, all for one ya know. I told them that it was a grown up word and they should not be using it again - where by Katie chimed in - yeah my mommy and mama say it Aaaallllllll the time so it's only for grown ups. I didn't even ask Katie what she was upset about in the first place - I just kissed her head and quietly walked out of the room.
That's all....

Boiled Meat
Even if I end up writing to myself, this is somewhat theraputic.
This weekend we had movie night on Friday night (after Lexies dance class) and then watched icarley for four hours - yes, four hours. On Sat I took Kenny to get his second first pair of shoes. One of his first first pair of shoes disappeared over a week ago. I am fairly certain that he threw it away (put it in the garbage after walking around with it for an hour). As a result I will now examine every bag that goes to trash or recycling for various items. I did find the TV remote in the recycling bag just a few minutes ago. Chris took the girls for mitts (mitten as Katie calls it) and cleats. T-Ball starts next week so we are getting ready. I am fairly certain that I will have more details on this subject as times goes on!!
We left for Jennys around 3:30 and after spending 1/2 hour trying to get the wireless video screens set up we were on the road. Katie picked out a lovely red Belle dress and brought her bride dress for she and Jenny to wear while they were baking. She felt that Jenny would look good in red and the bride dress is her favorite so while she loves Jenny and all she gave her the second favorite dress for the baking attire. I informed Jenny that it was going to be a formal bake time and to be sure her hair and nails were done appropriately.
My battery is dying so I need to sign off. I will finish this story another night. I am sure you will all tune in!!
Kisses,
k

I sent another e-mail
Erica - I think you should be able to get in now. Just use the option at the top of the screen to post. You don't have to comment, just post.
Lets see -
Today was dance class for Lexie and they are getting ready for the recital. She is in 'dance school musical' and their dance will be a mish mash of several of their favorite shows from previous practices. They are doing - supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, step in time, a song from HMS 2 and from camp rock. Lexie is the shortest one in the class by a foot, so she is dragged around when they lock arms, flung when they twist each other around, is straining to hold the girl that falls back into her arms etc. She has a few black & blues but loves it. One other thing, she is missing her two top teeth and now talks with the lisp she had when she was two. I could just bite her sometimes she is so cute!!
Katie is the ballerina and tapper this year - she is very funny and again the shortest in the class by a foot. She is a year younger than the rest but the only one who can walk toe - heal across the studio. This will surly come in handy when she goes to cheerleader school and becomes a professional cheerleader. This is her current goal in life. I am sure she can make allot of cash with the special cheerleader appearances - I just hope she has medical insurance and disability.
Kenny is very very funny - or at least he thinks so. He walks around laughing at nothing - just bursts out laughing for no reason then looks at you like your nuts when you talk to him. He seems to want to be alone with the voices in his head I guess because the voices are so funny. Katie is the only one who comes close to the voices in his head. Na, as he calls Lexie, is the best big sister who does not want to her bro to get any sort of callus on his feet - she never lets them touch the ground.
OK for today - just needed to share. What you got???

HERE WE GO
Not much to say right now other than I am very proud of myself for setting this up!! I have wanted to do this for a while but just never got around to it. Yippee, I did it. I will try to post pictures and stuff like that but it will take me a while to figure out the 'widget' feature.
We are going up to Jenny's this weekend for the annual 'boiled dinner' party. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. Katie insists that Pop Pop and Grandma Barbara are coming back from Malt ball (aka Malta) for the party and then will fly back to their vacation. Kenny will be bringing with him anything he can carry - his favorite carry item is FOOD. This kids does not stop eating - do all boys eat this way or is it just him? He ate four pancakes yesterday and then proceeded to eat half of Lexie's waffle before he had to leave for school.
Lexie is reader of the week this week - which means line leader, weather, attendance, hand out papers, collect papers and over all teachers assistant. She gets to have her desk in the special spot at the front of the room. Overall just feeling special. She gave a book report on Monday and then read the book to the class. She got to teach by answering the kids questions on the book and pointing out spelling words in the story. Lots of fun and a very special week!!
I need to look this over more and I'll let you know how you can post to this as well. That's all for tonight.
Sweet Dreams!!
We are going up to Jenny's this weekend for the annual 'boiled dinner' party. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. Katie insists that Pop Pop and Grandma Barbara are coming back from Malt ball (aka Malta) for the party and then will fly back to their vacation. Kenny will be bringing with him anything he can carry - his favorite carry item is FOOD. This kids does not stop eating - do all boys eat this way or is it just him? He ate four pancakes yesterday and then proceeded to eat half of Lexie's waffle before he had to leave for school.
Lexie is reader of the week this week - which means line leader, weather, attendance, hand out papers, collect papers and over all teachers assistant. She gets to have her desk in the special spot at the front of the room. Overall just feeling special. She gave a book report on Monday and then read the book to the class. She got to teach by answering the kids questions on the book and pointing out spelling words in the story. Lots of fun and a very special week!!
