[mlbevins]

yes two living at home 3 year old yesterday colored my walls witha red sharpie while i was doing offers here at FC and my 6 year old was nowhere insight to stop her :angel12:it so funny how i stay at home to raise my kids and thought well now i can work less hard NOT I think i would prefer being a waitress sometimes I dont think I have worked so hard in my life. BUT PLZ dont judge that I wouldn't ever give up this mommy job to anyone else. I do love the silly things they do running around wihtout clothes or watching tehm brush their teeth or just simply sit and listen to what crazy out of the world things they say.

I have a son who will be 2 in just 2 weeks and I'm due to have our 2nd on Thanksgiving day!!!  A little girl this time!!  So excited!!  We're trying to potty train our son now and he asks to go potty, but he just wants to sit there then he gets up and pees on the carpet!!!  He's a hoot!

1 22 yr. old Son. Reading all the posts about the little ones, makes me miss my 'Baby'. Those seemed like the hardest days but I sure miss them now.

I have a 2 year old daughter. We're trying to potty train, but she'd rather just pull the 'reservoir' out and playing with it instead of actually using it. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get this whole terrible two's thing down.

We have four kids.....all are out of the house now. Oldest is 30, then 27, 21, 19.

so for all of you with little ones....enjoy them!!!  Time really does go by fast.

We have TONS of great memories and love to retell stories of all the fun things we did as a family when they were young.

Also it is a good idea to start some family traditions...doesn't have to be big or expensive.

Ideas:  For birthday parties we set up a "spider web".  Easy and so much fun---the kids still think I should set it up for them --even if they are 19!

          How?  Get different colors of yarn (a different color for each child who will do the game).  Tie a small weight of some kind (a washer or nut or paperclip) to the loose end.  Now crisscross each yarn across the room, over and under and around furniture or whatever is in the room; By the time you get 5-6 different colors of yarn crisscrossed back and forth every which way across the room, you will have created a HUGE spider web!  Be sure you end up at the entrance to the room with the other end of the yarn (you decide how long your yarn will be).  This end I have tied to a empty paper towel tube (can use a stick or ruler).  Now each child will take their paper towel tube and wind up the their color of yarn.  It is best if they are stocking footed because they have to step over and crawl under the other kids' yarns as they wind up their yarn.
It takes some kids a  little bit to get the hang of winding up their yarn, but they all have fun.

We do it every year.
Enjoy those Kids!

I share 4 (rescued) cats with my room mate.  Do they count as kids?  I know we sure spoil them like they are...
