Ornery Monday

Ooooh Mommy's little early birds.  You both were chirping away extra early this morning, and it's a good thing that Daddy went to bed at like 5pm yesterday, because Mommy was super tired from staying up late cleaning!  Mommy was slow moving, but the important thing is... Mommy was moving.  While Daddy fed you both breakfast, and enjoyed breakfast with the two of you, Mommy updated photos in the "Kokomo Garage Sale" FB page in an attempt to make a few bucks from selling your guy's clothes, clothes that no longer fit.  You two are growing way too fast!  Daddy left for work after having breakfast with the two of you and after showering.  

Buddha, you told Mommy that you wanted to take a bath, so Mommy told you I would give you a bath after I myself had a bath.  While in the shower, you, Buddha, said, "Mommy me take a shower too!"  Mommy helped you get undressed and in the shower you came.  Bodhi, you thought we were having too much fun so you undressed yourself, and in you came ha/ha  Along with several bath toys.  It was tight squeeze with all three of us in the shower.  Good thing Mommy is huge, because I kept much of the water from splashing you directly in the face Bo.  Jude, you couldn't get enough of the "inside sprinkler."  You loved when Mommy would move to the side and allow the water flow on your face :)  After we were all dressed, Mommy packed you two in the car to return some items to Menards.  We were supposed to make a drop of a garage sale item, but that fell through :(  So we headed home to get lunch and take a nap.  Earlier this morning Bodhi, you called GiGi to tell her you were sitting on your new potty trying to potty.  GiGi and Gi-Pa had bought you a musical potty to try to renew your interest in potty training.  GiGi told you that she wanted you and your brother to come over this evening, and Bodhi, you kept saying "YAY, go to GiGi's, go to GiGi's!"  So when nap time rolled around, you were too excited to go to sleep.  Mommy put you back in bed several times, while threatening not to allow you to go to GiGi's unless you napped.  Nothing worked!  Mommy even let you try to take a nap on the couch, but that didn't work either.  Mommy thought she had finally got you settled so I went outside to work on some projects.  Mommy had a gut feeling and walked around the side of the house only to find you, Bodhi, swimming in the dog's swimming pool.  REally?  You and Mommy had a long talk and Mommy, yet again, put you back in bed.  When Mommy went inside to bring some additional supplies outside, there you were Bodhi, playing in the dogs' water bowls!  You never act this way Bodhi.  Jude is the one who always plays in the water bowls, and when Mommy tells you to do something, you always do it.  Uggggh!

After Bodhi woke you up, Buddha,  sneaking into your  room to wake you because Mommy told Bodhi, that she could get up when you woke up, Mommy told you, Bodhi that you wouldn't be going to GiGi's.  You kept your cool and didn't get mad the slightest.  GiGi came over thinking only you, Jude, were going to be leaving, however, Bodhi sat in time-out until GiGi arrived.  Mommy had told Bodhi that if she sat in time-out and thought about all things she did wrong in the last hour, she could go to GiGi's.  Bodhi, you are so smart and such a stinker.  You told Mommy all the things you did that you shouldn't have done.

GiGi and Gi-Pa brought you both home and reported that you both were perfect.  They also reported that you, Bodhi, refused to use the potty chair.  Buddha, you attempted use it YAY!

Mommy then left to conduct a drop, you two stayed behind and watched Rio with Daddy.  When Mommy arrived home, Mommy tucked you both in bed.  You both passed out immediately :)

Sweet dreams my sweet babes! Mommy hopes you both get a goodnight's sleep!

Happy Clean Babes after their first shower :)

Kisses!

Buddha, you love to give your sister kisses, however, she always says "ewwww" afterwards and you get embarrassed ha/ha :)

"No Ewwww Bo Bo!"

Mommy looked out the kitchen window while putting the remainder of the cabinet handles on, when I saw Pippen the neighbor cat visiting Dora Kitty and Baby Ella :)

Mommy had to intervene because Baby Ella had a bird in her target!

"But I want to eat a bird Momma!"

No Baby Ella, no birds!  "Ok Momma!"

Baby Dora pouncing on bugs ha/ha... she is a hoot to watch!

Mr. Pippen chillin'

Come on inside!  It's HOT out here!

Another project completed today... your guys arts and crafts/meal table :)

Mommy finished the table and the two side chairs (the green and dark blue one)  Mommy loves the rustic shabby chic look!

Mommy finished the handles on the cabinets... uppers are white, and the lower are black.  Mommy will eventually add an additional color to each (an accent color)  Our kitchen is a work in progress!

PS Mommy knocked out several projects today.  I cleared out several small projects that had been setting in our dining room!  Go Momma Go!
