I plan to post pictures of our time at the "pig farm" a couple weekends ago but that will take some time so in the meantime, here's what we've been up to...
Dawson has been wanting to take walks lately which means I end up pushing all of them in the stroller. Three kids in a stroller meant for one. What's funny to me is all the looks we get. Not that we have three kids in a one person stroller, that's normal to overload anything and everything with people, but that we are just pushing a stroller at all and white kids are in it. Let me tell you pushing 90 plus pounds on horrible roads with flat tires (didn't realize they were so flat until we were out) is not easy. Though it is surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) easier than pushing ONE kid in the stroller and having to watch the other two walking on the roads. Dawson was always 20 feet ahead and Kenan 20 feet behind. Thanks to some kind Malians we safely made it to our destination.
But don't worry friends, I always have my heroes to take care of me and fight off danger. And maybe they'll help themselves when they fall off the table since their mom is taking their picture like that instead of telling them to get down. :)
And this is what happens when you leave your newly one year old with his 2 and 4 year old brothers for a minute. I was relieaved to realize it was just marker and not blood.
And one quote that I hope doesn't offend people. A long time ago, Dawson had gone potty and his underwear had a little poopy in it and I told him that they didn't smell good, we needed to change them. Well, ever since then, he always asks (every single time) after he goes to the bathroom for us to smell his underwear. What a lovely job, as if wiping his bottom isn't enough. Well, yesterday Brett had the joy of doing that job and was asked the normal question if the underwear smells to which he replied "no." Dawson says, "When I ask mommy if my underwear smells, sometimes she says yes and sometimes she says no, but you always say no, daddy. why is that?" Because he's a guy, Dawson, that's why. :)
PRICELESS!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the stroller and the "drawing" ,I thought it was bites. Thank goodness it was his brothers being creative. Now I know why Dawson asked if his underwear smelled. Thanks for making me laugh.
Had me worried when I first saw Silas. Every mom has to wonder how do their children come up with these ideas? Can't even blame yours for watching too much TV.
ReplyDeleteLoved the stroller ride but did not know those tires could go flat.
So has grandma made Silas a cape?
You had a real job pushing all three boys.
