A Terrible Two Year Old's Daily Exploits




Here are some other formerly infamous 2 year olds...








Daniel's expoits






  • put anything I can into the sink or tub when they are full of water (at least it's not the toilet)
  • cut my hair, yet again, with scissors I found in sissy's room, yet again
  • climb ontop of the counter and yell until I am rescued by mommy
  • pinch sissy's bum that is hanging out of her jeans
  • write on mommy's wall, yet again, this time with black crayon
  • attempt to cut things open with a steak knife I got out of the dishwasher until I am discovered by biggest brother
  • throw around the big can of hot chocolate gramma gave us for Christmas
  • keep asking for drinks of water only later to show mommy that it is all getting dumped down the heat vent in the kitchen
  • keep asking for juice only to spill it every time onto the floor making mommy decide that I can go thirsty from now on
  • smack big brother with a toy sword, yet again
  • strip down naked twice, but get caught before I can do my business on the floor
  • wake mommy up at least 6 times last night for num numms
  • take out cherry tomatoes and squish them on the carpet
  • take my noodles into the front room, hey big brother and biggest brother are both doing it, and smear them all over the floor
  • hit bigger brother again with the toy sword
  • remove more ornaments off of the Christmas tree

Mommy is tired, but Danny the energizer bunny just keeps going, and going, and going...

And more pics






Okay, here are the rest.

Finally some Pictures






The boys, including Wade, and I all went to Medieval Times for the dinner/show Saturday night. It was a lot of fun and a great way to drop $300 for the evening. This place must be raking in the dough because it is always packed and adult tickets are $51 each. It was expensive, but a great thing to do once. There is also a pirates dinner show we will have to try sometime after we've recovered from the sticker shock of the other place. Daniel and I also visited the temple grounds here to look at the pretty lights. He really liked them. Now you know what a palm tree looks like with lights. (Okay, more pics to come soon, I keep getting an error message when trying to upload them and have to run. Will try again later)

Emails

Hey guys, I've changed the settings on our blog so only those who are invited can look. I'm working on giving everyone permission, just give me time.

New Layout

So, as if you haven't noticed, but I put a new Christmas Layout on our blog. Hope you don't mind. I lost the link to Trummy's blog, so if you'll add it back on someone who knows it. Thanks

Money, money, money

Bad time of year to have to pay a $1000 comprehensive deductible for hitting a fox. Brett has a broken radiator, bumper and inside casing. We still don't know the extent of it until they really get in there. Drivers beware.

Mi Siki Ook Too

I've been sick too. I blame Amanda. Had a fever and body aches yesterday. It wasn't a whole lot of fun. Yesterday was crazy busy at work too. We had six cases. A lot of people were just dropping dead. I think it was the snow. I was actually out grocery shopping with Amanda, long after my shift had ended, when I got a call from the lady, Ann, at IDS. Really nice person. She needed some help with a case. So I agreed to go back up to the Eye Bank to help out. I ended up staying for another two hours. I would like to say I did it soley out of the goodness of my heart, but truthfully, we need the money. It also snowed down here. A lot. I was so wanting to skip work and go snowboarding yesterday, but we're too poor for me to be doing that. School is also about to end. I'm so excited.

Hitting a Fox

Brett is convinced that while driving home on Friday night from the Jazz game, going 70 mph on the highway, that he crushed something. He said the buddies he was with saw it about 1 second before he did, and he saw it just in time to grip the wheel steadily. Luckily he did, otherwise, if he had tried to swerve, he probably would have flipped the car. His car is beat up. It cracked the grill on the front of the car. He said his car smelled like fried animal, plus it also starting smoking. He is afraid he cracked his radiator. He pulled up to the first stoplight and his car started shaking violently. I can't believe all this damage could be done by a fox. It will cost us a pretty penny to have it fixed. Maybe now we should just call him a "Foxy Lady".

Post to rid another

So, no one has felt the need to post for a while, and I am getting tired of looking at the old one, so I decided to put up a new post. Kate and I have had awful colds with ear infections!!! Yuck. I think that is also what Amanda had. So much family love spread around with the Holidays. Paige had her birthday yesterday and is convinced that she is 4. I have had arguments with her, to no avail. It is hard arguing with a 3 year old who is somewhat bull headed and independent. (Don't think I haven't heard what is coming next, either). We went swimming for her birthday. Indoors of course seeing how we probably got 8 inches of snow yesterday. I imagine the mountain resorts are loving it. Maybe they will be able to open up after all.
