Ice Cream Cake

Hello All,

I have to get back to blogging after the break. We are all back to our routines, the kids and Ed are back to school and I’m back to doing what ever I do every day. Frankly I don’t think I got a break, I kept doing what I do, (my version) feeding, bathing, carting around the kids, (Ed’s version) I lay on the couch watching TV, take naps in the bedroom with the door locked so the kids can’t wake me up! I like my version better so you can go with that one.

I have lots to report, and many pictures to go through, from our time off together but I’ll get to that another day today I’m just posting a little story from yesterday that cracked me up.

My Dad’s birthday was last week; we didn’t get to go see him on the actually day due to work and activity schedules. So Sunday morning before church, the kids and I stopped at the grocery store and got a football ice cream cake to surprise him after church. He loved the surprise, and the kids loved eating ice cream cake at 8:30 AM. My parents insisted on sending some of the cake home with us because their freezer was too full. Turns out my freezer was even more packed than theirs and we had NO room to put the cake.

Now being that it was 31 degrees in the sun, I thought just put it outside and it will stay cold. Ed took it out back and placed it on the pick nick table in the back yard. That was fine until we let the dog out 5 minutes later. I sent Natalie out to rescue the cake before Bailey realized it was there. She got it and I told her to put it out front on the storage bin we have. She came back in and the cake was forgotten about until the kids went to bed.

As soon as the kids were in bed I remembered the cake and send Ed out to get it; he came back in and asked where it was. I told him where I told Natalie to put it and he said it was not there. So he walked around the front yard and found the cake in the middle of the front lawn, just sitting there!

I asked her about it this morning and she said, “You told me to put it out front!”

Also turns out it was a little warmer than we thought because the cake was not frozen solid, it was very melted but it still tasted good :-)

Christmas shopping

It’s Christmas Eve at 1:11 PM. Ed took the kids out shopping this morning and we met at the mall after I got some of my last minute stuff done. I took the kids to get the rest of the gift cards I needed, got them lunch then came home. We are done! Dinner and Church tonight and Big day tomorrow.

The kids were eating and I just looked at my e mail and noticed I have pictures ready at Wall-greens that I need for tomorrow. I said

M: Oh I forgot my pictures at Wall-greens; I need to go get them.
W: I’M NOT GOING
N: Quick hide, I’M NOT GOING either!

I just laughed, I understand their reason.

Everyone enjoy your holiday, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

How many children do you want?

My conversation with Natalie this AM

N: So mom did you want 2 children
M: Yes Natalie, Daddy and I wanted two Children
N: Oh so I wouldn’t be a lonely child?
M: (chuckling a bit) yes so you wouldn’t be a lonely child.

William’s Song

William is changing the song to
“All I want for Christmas is my 3 top teeth”.
He lost another one today in school.

Word spread fast too. He was at the nurse and saw Natalie pass, he wanted to tell her what happened, but she didn’t see him. A little ways down the hall Natalie ran into William’s teacher and was told about the tooth. He was happy to know that she found out quickly.

At pick up all his friends had to see his tooth. I had to open the little treasure chest the nurse put it in and show all the kids.

William still doesn’t sleep with his head on a pillow; he does however have a pillow in his bed. The pillow is down by his feet leaning up against the wall and a bear sleeps on it each night.

Oh and at the holiday shop at school, William purchased one pair of light up vampire teeth. I asked if that was because he didn’t have any teeth up top. He told me no, I can’t eat with the vampire teeth in my mouth.


I sure hope the tooth fairy is alert this time and remembers to bring a bone so Bailey will let her into the kid’s room. She has forgotten in the past and the good guard dog would not let her pass so she had to leave a note and tooth $ on the counter, or try again the next night!

William giving gifts

The kids were eating a meal, I forget which one, and I had the TV on and a commercial came on for Zale’s (jewelry). They were advertizing their holiday necklace. William was paying attention to the TV.

W: WOW, I’m getting that for you for Christmas!
N: For ME! YES! Thanks William
W: No for Mommy. (N: sad face) I’m getting you the earrings
N: (Happy face) THANKS WILLIAM!! Yes, I get new earrings!

My mother has taught them well, both of them, to LOVE diamonds! That gene skipped me; I’d much prefer electronics to jewelry. William will make some woman VERY happy with his gift giving some day.

Voting is closed the winner is….

Poor William was sick all day. Vomiting every 15 minutes or so for most of the morning and into the early afternoon. He finally fell asleep in the 2:00 hour and slept till I woke him around 4:30. He woke up and was STARVING! “Rest your belly” I said “NO I’m HUNGRY, MOM, PLEASE CAN’T I HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT???”

Problem was I was planning on going to the store today while the kids were at school. I’m out of EVERYTHING eggs, bread, cereal, soda, and I have nothing for dinner (not a problem for me I don’t feel much like eating after watching William throw up all day). About the only thing I do have in the fridge is milk and I found a box of jell-o to make for him. I was just so happy I ran to wall-mart last night to pick up toilet paper and I didn’t put that off till the trip I was planning on doing today!

So it’s my mom to the rescue; she was at the grocery store and called to see if she could pick something up from my house. I said yes and she asked if I needed anything. EGGS please. I put her stuff outside and she made the drop without ever having to enter the germy house.

I made pancakes for the kids (that’s what I needed the eggs for). William is still happily scarfing down pancakes and the jell-o I made for him earlier. While eating he announced,

“Mom, you are the GREATEST MOM IN THE WORLD!” AHHHHHH such a sweet boy. This is so nice to hear since I’m usually being told “You’re SO mean!” So I won the greatest mom in the world contest and all I had to do was have my mom bring me some eggs and make the kid some pancakes!!

Boy I wonder what award I would win if I made him candy
