Mr. Destructo and the Rock Star

Is what I have been calling my son lately. The last couple days, he has put the toaster oven on high, and tried cooking nothing for 90 minutes. Took a marker (thank God it was dry erase!) to the dining room table. Moved the chair to the counter to do whatever he feels he needs to. Just banging, throwing, pulling, pushing things. Is there a full moon coming up soon? I am serious, b/c all he wants to do is destroy everything! I cannot keep my house clean, and I have given up trying! LOL! 

But, apparently his life is just horrible, b/c he was in the van Saturday afternoon, getting ready to go to the store, and he all of the sudden says "Oh, great!" LOL...not quite sure what was wrong, but it was funny. And, he thinks snow is "ewww...yucky"...haha...I tend to agree with him on that one. :) 

Madison is back to school this week. She enjoyed her week off for the Mid-Winter break. And, she now thinks she is a rock star! :) She informed me of this on our way to church yesterday. "Mommy, I'm a rock star" said very seriously. This is also coming from the child who said "Mommy, some kids say hello, but I say Hola" HAHAHA!! I love my kids! :)

When they are quiet....you know there is trouble...

So, I know it has been awhile. Life gets in the way, and that is, of course, more important than blogging. I had a job interview, didn't get it, but am considering going back to school for child counseling. Or, opening a daycare sometime down the road...who knows? I also got asked to do a photo shoot for a wedding in September! That is my real dream, to do weddings/baby photography, and others. Plus, get into my digital designs more. Who knows what the future holds?

So, back to my mommy-hood. Madison turned 6 last Sunday! Hard to believe that I have been a mother that long, and they have been the best years of my life! She had a kids party on Saturday, had 4 boys and 2 girls over. Very interesting, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! She had a blast! 

Yesterday morning she says to me "mommy, you have mean eyebrows"...IDK if I was squinting or what, but it was hilarious. She said I needed new ones! :P 

2 weeks ago, Hunter decided to pull a chair up to the phone, and saw that the wallpaper was peeling a little on the edge. I am now missing a 8" strip of wallpaper half way down one wall. No, I am NOT kidding! LOL! Yesterday afternoon, it got really quiet. You know there is trouble if it gets quiet. I asked Madison to go peek on him...sure enough "MOMMY!" was almost instantly called. I got out...he has gotten into the refrigerator, pulled out a dozen eggs...and proceeded to smash them all on the floor. IDK how he did this so quietly, but he did. Honestly, I am so used to these quirks of my sons, that I buried my face in my hands and laughed so hard that I was shaking! I was silent, b/c I didn't want him knowing that I was laughing, to think it was okay. So, Madison says to me "mommy? It's okay, i will help you clean it up" aw, what a sweetheart! I put my hands to her face and opened them to show her i was laughing "I cannot let your brother see me laughing" I said. She was ready to get me a tissue! I then, of course had to take pictures. What else do you do? Paper towels and a mop successfully helped me clean up! :) I will post a picture later!
