Vacationing at Home

We're on vacation this week but have decided to do day trips to conserve money. Today we went to Gettysburg Pennsylvania since it's so close and visited a farm called "The Land of Little Horses". They have a variety of animals there including those sweet miniature horses, and the kids get to feed them and pet them. There were several baby horses too. It's a wonderful place to take little kids. I'll try to post pictures this week. :-) Tomorrow we plan to go picnicking at the park.

Kids Say the Cutest Things

One of my biggest daily joys is hearing my kids say cute things. It's just so funny and I wonder where they learned certain things that neither me or my hubby say. Here are a few that might make you chuckle...

MG and MB have both taken to saying "Of course!" when answering yes to any question.

The other day I was getting the kids ready to go see a free movie at the library and they were both yelling "ready for action!" as we were heading out the door. Well, MB's version was "Weddy fuh actun!"

Today MB was wearing his new batman PJ's for his nap. I was teasing him and said "Look, batman is taking a nap!" He said, "No, Mommy... this costume".

A few days ago MG informed me that MB's bellybutton was "broken" because it's an inny and not an outy like her's.

When we first got the kids their swing set, MB kept asking me to swing with him. I kept repeating that I was too big to fit in the swing. Finally, I said "I'm sorry, I'm just too fat to fit". He said "Take off your pants!" Then he proceded to take off his shorts and swing in his diaper.

When I was very sick a few weeks ago, I was lying down while the kids had the run of the house. They were taking turns putting DVDs into the player and when MB got the movie started, MG said "Look Bubby, now we're both geniuses".

My kids call each other "Bubby" and "Sissy". We're trying to teach MB to say his own name. He will tell you that his name is Bubby if you ask him.

Blah!

Life has been such a mixed up jumble of good and bad, crazy and sane, busy and bored. I don't know where to start. I'm usually too tired or too sad or too something to write. Does that make sense? I feel tired and unappreciated sometimes at work and at home. I know that I could do some things better or differently, but I think that nothing I do would be good enough. If I didn't feel so damned tired all the time maybe I could do more.
