Life's a Happy Song...

when there's someone by your side to sing along!

Which should technically be Trevor, but he's not a fan of the rain. So mini and me went out to get wet and dance a little. Trevor stayed inside and paparazzi'd us. Don't laugh. You know you'd do it too if you had the opportunity.

Two Peas in a Pod

I love my boys. They like working on stuff together. And Saturday morning when Logan decided to wear a special shirt and didn't mind if we called him "Trevor", my heart just about melted out of my body. He sure loves his dad.

Dear Alyson, What is that?

What is that giant thingy behind your kids in the last post? 

I made a tufted ottoman. Out of an old coffee table. It was on its side because I was finishing it. Any more questions?

Logan's birthday in pictures. Don't mind the ever messy house. Seriously. It's bad in these pictures.

That hand that keeps appearing is Trevor stealing candy from the cake.

Pics of Our Exciting Life

Here's my terribly messy house. See all the chairs in the background? Furniture dolly and dresser drawers are back there too. My house is a furniture nightmare. No to be honest it's not that bad. I'm in the process of re-doing all that stuff. I'll show pics in the next few posts. 

Meanwhile, don't you just looooove Samantha's non matching jammies?

where to start. where to start.

I think I am very morally grounded.

As in if I think you are being a rude jerk, I will not be my usual nice self. To you.

Because being a rude jerk is not nice.

But I am not perfect.

And sometimes by being mean, I will be the rude jerk.

See?

As in I will punish you for being a jerk by being a jerk.

Is this matter making sense?

But sometimes this moral stuff seeps into other areas.

Like raising children. Or some peoples lack thereof.

Can you please discipline your children without making it politically correct?

A two year old does not have enough life experience to make the decision that playing in furniture stripper is a good idea.

Not that I know anyone who has, but you get the point.

I am not my child's best friend.

Sorry, but I don't want to be.

Go ahead. You can feel sad for me.

I'm okay with it.

We have rules at my house.

My two year old has chores.

We work together to clean our house. My kids fold and put away the laundry.

They clean the bathroom.

Do the dishes.

And I sit around eating bonbons all day.

What is a bonbon anyway?
