mt and the past 10 months or so...

i went in to get mt up from his nap, & the first thing i saw was his fave book brown bear torn to shreds all over the floor. he knew immediately he was in trouble. as i was getting onto him he had the saddest, most heartbreaking face (this is prob the first time he has really been in trouble). i was giving him my stern face & all of a sudden he got a huge grin on his face and yelled "mommy rocks!".

i get mt so worked up. he wants to kiss me on my lips so i purposely turn my head at the last sec. so he keeps trying until finally he will grab my face between both his hands and plant one on me. but the really funny part is hearing him saying "momma kiss me" in a really frustrated voice

mt was trying to get a hug from mikayla and she kept pushing him off of her. he told her "i'm going to tell your mommy"

mt told me to pay attention

i was listening to mt play hide and seek with anna and kristen. as they would ask "is he under the table" mt would yell "i not under the table". then when anna hid she sneezed to help him find her. kristen asked what that noise was and he said it was just an eagle!?!?

i went on a girl’s trip to the beach. when i got home mt said to me, "i did not go to the beach with you mommy". then he walked away. uh oh

we were asking mt what he would name a little brother. I asked miles (my choice) or boaz (michaels). he said "I want moaz"

mom brought mt some trix yogurt over. i told him he could eat it after dinner. he kept sneaking off and i would hear a serious slurping sound. then he would come running up to me and give me a suspiciously sweet smelling kiss. a little spying revealed he was literally slurping the yogurt through a tiny hole

mt's latest shenanigans. he will tell me to do something like, get him water. i will ask him if i heard a please. he replies "no you did not" and waits expectantly for his drink.

mt was supposed to be laying down for his nap. instead, i could hear him yelling "rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll"

i heard mt obviously down out of his bunkbed playing when he should be napping. as i was walking to his room to get onto him i hear, "sorry mommy, so sorry, i won't do it again". must have heard me coming. lol

as i put mt to bed one night he asked me to sleep in his bed (he NEVER asks this). so i crawl all the way into his bunkbed and am about to lay down thinking i will slip out after some sweet cuddling when mt says "nevermind". he then asks me to leave :(

i told mt i loved him and he said "you say that a million times" with a bit of annoyance in his voice. mind you he just turned 3

mt called me a pothead. so glad jessica clued me in on the fact that mt and adisen's class picked up this name after a visit from johnny appleseed (who was wearing a pot on his head)

mikayla and mt wanted to go on my run with me one morning. mt actually made it half a mile (in his trusty rainboots of course) before he petered out. to encourage him to make it back to the house i told him we could run together holding hands. as we jogged he looked up at me and said "this is awesome" :)

i asked mt if he wanted grilled cheese. he must have heard "girl" cheese because he indignantly replied "i want boy cheese"

mt told me he wants the three wise men to bring him a black spiderman

one night we drove by atl motor speedway and the building was all lit up. mt said, "yeah we are at the beach". poor thing thought it was a condo.

comments during narnia (voyage of the dawn treader)....kk - "it's the white witch"....mt - "no, it's the green witch" and mt to daddy - "he said poopoo daddy" referring to eustace's language on the dragon island

i love my kids, especially when they are sweet to each other. i told mt to go and clean his room. mikayla jumped up and said i will help you mt. mt replied, "you are beautiful kk"

while home alone with mt. he was in bed shouting "my mommy is so beautiful" and then shortly after, "mommy can i get back up and play with you?"

while having a heart to heart with mt about his punishment for something he had done, mt told me "i wish you would not talk about punching me. it makes me sad." i quickly explained to him the difference between "punishment" and "punching"

mt is very complimentary. he loves to run up to me and put both hands on my face. he tells me i am beautiful and warm.

mikayla and the past 10 months or so

i have been horrible at blogging, so i am catching up all in one fell swoop.

on our fritsche family vacation, i noticed mt had chocolate on his face. he told me kk gave him a cookie. i asked mikayla where she got it and she told me tyler. then she said that if tyler was a father he would know better. oh how my kids take advantage of tyler brown

i always like to put a note in mikayla's lunchbox. one day when i picked her up she told me she loved it even though it made her miss me a little. she said it even made her eyes sweat a little. lol

mikayla saw a gnome at costco. she wanted to buy it for lindsey (who is obsessed with them). mikayla had overheard us teasing a friend that she had better watch out because lindsey might steal her gnomes. mikayla told me she wanted to buy it for lindsey so that she did not get in trouble for stealing. so we did.

mikayla came to me upset that michael had not kissed her goodbye when he left early for work. i told her that he did but that she was so fast asleep she didn't even stir. she thought a second and then asked if he shaved. i told her no and she said "hmm, because his beard always tickles me awake when he kisses me."

i walked in on mikayla laying down with one of our old cell phones pretending to text. i asked her what she was doing. she told she was practicing so that when we go places people will think she is really texting and think she is famous. not sure what to think of this??

notice what mikayla is thankful for :)

mikayla told me she put her fave pink belt on with her robe because it make her robe look prettier. my little fashionista.

i love watching winter wipeout with the kids. love watching their faces and comments. kk is confident her daddy can do it.

mikayla's letter to santa that was in our local paper this week: i have been very good this year. i would please like you to bring me some things. here is the short list: a baby in mommy's tummy, american girl doll with really curly hair, jewelry maker, a batman room for my brother mt3. all my love, mikayla.

kk heard me talking ab getting new glasses so she decided to design me a pair out of colored pencils, a styrofoam cup and pixio creations

we had a fun girl's night out going to dinner at the flying biscuit and to the fox to see beauty and the beast. we went with a group of friends from journey.

when it came time to pray, all the girls wanted to. we let them all pray at the same time. it was hilarious hearing all of the sweet prayers jumbled together.

the kids love to hear stories about when michael and i were little. last night michael was telling about how he won a pet rabbit at the fair and how one day it ran away. mikayla suggested that a rabbit we always see at our house might be his pet rabbit. michael said it was impossible bc the rabbit would not still be alive. mikayla told him maybe his rabbit was good at living a long time like momma bob (elaine's mom).

kk decided to start keeping a journal yesterday. her very first line was "i love my mom and dad" :)
