No Thanks, Hold the Boob Please...................

I am NOT in anyway trying to offend or get anyone fired up, BUT for those women who are thinking about or are breast feeding. While needing to feed your baby in a public place use a blanket or something to hide your boob or go to the bathroom. While trying to enjoy a lunch out yesterday, at a pretty popular restaurant, a baby was crying from another table. Instinctively, I look up and focus in on the baby while at the same time the mother pulls her boob out (she actually lifts her shirt up) at the table and begins feeding her child without covering anything up. Total boob exposure. The family in the booth next to her immediately turned their heads in the other direction away from her and children's faces were red. All I'm saying is, I don't care if you go topless at home, but while in public just cover yourself. I know it is natural and healthy to breast feed your baby, but have respect for others around you. Call me crazy, but I don't want to see a boob while eating with my family.

Boy Oh Boy

Well, the boys have really tested me this week. From writing on walls (yikes) to inventing a new sporting event. I have even threatened the boys with me going back to work -- although I wouldn't do that right now because I love being home with them, but a break is in need.

The new sporting event is called "Pantry Climbing". Yes, you did read that right. They climb the pantry shelves now. I don't have a picture of this yet due to me freaking out thinking that the wire shelves may break. I don't know how much weight these shelves actually will hold, but both the boys are about 40lbs each. The reason for the sudden urge to climb these shelves is I have raised their snacks to the higher shelves due to them helping themselves. The evil snack that they are climbing for ,of all their snacks, seems to be Scooby Doo fruit snacks.

We moved into this house July of last year. Everything is pretty new and I have been a utensil nazi when it comes to markers, crayons, pens, colored pencils and regular pencils staying at the kitchen table at all times. I must also add the spare bedroom upstairs is a play room now. The boys made their way upstairs and I hear a weird nose and think to myself "what are they doing up there". They were making a master piece on their bedroom wall with a pen that they snuck from the kitchen counter. As I am walking up the stairs I hear them say "momma look" they were so proud.............good thing we are painting that room soon and have now decided to use chalk board paint for the lower portion of the wall in case they want to draw on the walls again.

Also, while checking the mail or running outside to get the paper (it takes less than a minute to do this) I have been locked out of the house. It has come to the point now where I have to leave all doors unlocked so if I have to run outside without them or if we are in the yard playing and they take off inside without me I have another way in. They did unlock the front door for me, but I had to ring the door bell a million times and watch them through the window dancing at the chimes or they could have been dancing because I was stuck outside. O.K., I have learned my lesson.

Joshua has decided that he wants to be a streaker. I can't keep underwear on him for anything. He runs outside regularly without having clothes on. I think super glue is in order. Anyone have any tips for this??? Jacob can't stand when the underwear comes off his brother and immediately tells, but by that time Joshua is out the door.

I keep telling myself it's a phase, I mean they are 2 1/2 and look how cute they are. They are just adventurous right???

P.S. Mick, I apologize now for anything your little girl may learn :)
