grevy train.

i think grevy is finally realizing that christmas won't be back for some months.

there was a blow up santa in the grass in front of his school during the season. for the past few weeks he has been asking me where santa went and i kept telling him back to the north pole to get more presents ready for the good little boys and girls. a few days went by and he didn't ask where santa went, so i was thinking that he just took my answer and ran with it. until this week we were leaving school and...

Grevy says:

"mama, they put santa in the closet until next year."

thanks tony! :)

oh and if you "brought" anything for greyson this year he is going to remember.

if he notices he is wearing anything or playing with anything new he will ask "mama who brought this for me?" i will then tell him who bought it for him.

goodness this little guy is the best!

AND our little emma is already nine months old! she is crawling around everywhere and trying to pull up on everything! she is in the 80th percentile and up on all of her stats and already has a little attitude which scares me! i know she is going to be just as much fun as our little grevy train! these are proof. :)

helllllo christmas season!!

i seriously feel like singing christmas music and decorating my house{more, since i was very bahhumbugish with work consuming my every moment}!! it's funny what a little bit more sleep will do for a girl!

oh grevy. yep, that's what i said.

this little dude was something else last night. my sister was over helping me out with little sister yesterday, so we had a few old friends come by to hang out for a bit! boy howdy, grevy was in rare form. he was ALL OVER the place. i'm pretty sure these girls thought they might need a visit to the ER before the night was over{thank goodness we only ventured out for italian food and no ER trips}.

after all of the madness i did happen to hear something pretty darn funny.

grevy says:

me: bubba you are so rambunctious.
grevy: i'm not bunctious mama! you're bunctious.

oh me oh my!

i can breathe!!

i wasn't kidding. the past three months have made me cry, want to take a nap underneath my desk, and want to run away as fast as i can; with my little ones of course. okay, and the husband!

i've also come to realize that i could get a second job at night. going to sleep at two and three am with children to take care of and a day job was a piece of cake! yeah.

it got pretty sad when I was counting down the days til christmas, because I knew that the work madness would end when christmas arrived.

so, now that i might have a little more freeeeeee time...

i'm starting to think that i could just blog about the entertaining things that little grevy says and does. he has turned into such a funny little dude. emma seems to be his biggest fan! goodness, i never thought that i could love two little people as much as i do!


grevy says:

something nice to everyone he talks to.

"you're pretty mama. i like your nails."

"that girl is pretty." as we stroll through target.

"my dada is nice."

"you look pretty aunt michy."

"grandma, i like your tv cabinet, it's nice. i like your new light"

he also demands a $1 after he goes poopoo in the potty. thanks nana and pappy! at this rate grevy is going to be rich before he's 3!

anything new with according to fresh?

i suppose so buddy.

the past few weeks have been a jumbled mess of emotions and actions; or the lack thereof.

my babies are growing up way too fast. grevy told me "no go to the gas station to meet grandma and grandpa. i want to go to grandma's house to get emma. no gas station mama." where does time go? we need to have more hours in the day, but i'm sure with my luck they would just take the extra hours and make them hours of operation.

speaking of hours of operation. those are not going to exist for us pretty soon. one of the six ladies i work with is leaving us in a few weeks to do the job she want born to do, stay at home with her babies. ahhh, she is going to be so missed because she sure did keep us in line. especially litias! goodness i work with the best group of ladies EVER! i hope britt doesn't think that she is going to be getting rid of us that easily. those hours of operation aren't going to exist for the rest of us, because at nine pm we'll be doing work just to stay behind. oh holiday season; you are forever ruined for me. my job has killed my love for my birthday, thanksgiving, and christmas. i look forward to new years eve, but not because I am going to get dressed up to go out. no, it's because i know that i will be able to get some sleep for a few months.

wow, i just realized that my last post was when emma turned four months. geez, ima slacker blogger. she will be five months on sunday. here i go again with time.

all i can say is take advantage of every minute of every day that you can. life is too short to do anything but live. we lost a close friend of ours yesterday. twenty eight years just doesn't seem long enough for someone to be loved.

oh my.

emma is four months old today. she is so delightful and is obviously very healthy. :)

and this speaks for itself. ahhh, he is amazing.

and that is all.

dear today's letters,

after becoming addicted to your blog and reading it in it's entirety, i constantly want to start by saying dear.

dear life, why did you have to get worse before getting better today? dear fresh, oh dear fresh indeed. thank you for being you.

dear grevy, thank you for asking me to lay down in bed with you, bubba, doggy, puppy, ducky, and sighman tonight. you are where life got better.

ahh, i have become a mini biter{someone who can't come up with their own idea}.

oh boy. way to end the night with a song that makes you wonder. blog a.d.d. at it's finest right here.

leaving my thoughts here for the night, so i can try to get some rest. {you may say i'm a dreamer}

a whole lotta

nothing is what i've got for this here blog.
