What the Heck Was I Thinking!!!

So as we all know I posted a thought a while back that since I have started this blog nothing interesting has happened. I went a step further by saying that I needed my naughty 2 year to be more naughty! Well it worked!!! And boy was I silly to ask for such a thing! (Even if life is not so boring when she is awake!) Today I was trying to fix the computer ,which I am sure that Alaina is the one the broke it....when she walks over with a tube of toothpaste, I asked her to go put it away because we already brushed teeth. She goes into the bathroom and I figured she put it away like she was asked to. A few minutes pass and she does not come out. So I call her out to see what she is doing. She walks out and says "brush mommy! All clean!" she is beaming and ever so proud that she did it by herself! her face is covered in toothpaste..my walls and floor got cleaned as well.... I grab the tube of paste and realize that she has not only made a mess but has also managed to eat it! (she does have very breath now!) It was adult Colgate...so I end up calling my poison control specialist (you know who you are) as it says right on the tube "Warning keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed get medical help or contact poison control center right away."..........Needless to say I found out she would be fine. As I was hanging up the phone she comes walking by muttering something to herself and notice that she has yet another tube of toothpaste in her mouth, this time a kids toothpaste. I took it from her and told her "No don't touch!" So now I wonder if she will never brush her teeth again because I told her NO. So really I did bring this upon myself...if not by wishing for it then by genetics alone! So mom I am sorry that you were not able to take showers and enjoy them....getting dressed so fast that you were not sure if you matched completely or that you even had matching socks...and for the many years in which you were terrified to go to the bathroom while I was awake! I know how you feel both stress and being able to laugh at the wonders that a child so little could even come up with. I will tell you this much Alaina/little Melanie always keeps me on my toes and I am always wondering what the next hour will bring to my life!

Wow time does fly! Mason is now six months old. He is now 15 lbs 11 oz and 26 inches long! I can't believe how fast hes grown, although he does pig out when it comes to food. This picture of Mason was just a few days after he came home from the hospital. He was so tiny that I have a hard time remembering how small he was. I do miss it!...and I miss how much hair he had. Mason is now going bald and it is his fault! He now scoots to get places only he uses his head and has rubbed off his hair. Here is a shocker.....the hair that is starting to grow in is blond! So once again it seems that the red haired child has yet to come. Now I only need to convince Trev that we have a red head somewhere waiting for us in the spirit world! Mason is becoming very fun and his personality is slowly starting to appear more each day. He's definitely a mama's boy....for now that is. He is starting to play and he loves it when the girls are around, even when Alaina is sitting on him singing row row row your boat! (I think Alaina entertains him and I seem to think that she is his favorite toy for now) Hmm, I wonder what he will look like in another 6 months!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know that we did...we missed being with all our families but we still had a great Thanksgiving. This weekend has been an interesting one, due to Alaina and her more curious side! For the past little while she has been noticing that she does not like to be wet. She takes her diaper off all the time now and wants to sit on the potty, even if she has done her duty already. She does try and thats all that matters, and hopefully one of these times she will catch it and makes it to the potty before the diaper gets wet. Over the weekend we put her done for her nap (which she seems to think that she does not need any more) she did not go to sleep and was in the crib talking for about a half hour. I fianlly decide that the nap was not going to happen so I went in to get her out.....and came upon her with her diaper off...finger and bed all brown and messed up! Yup thats right, and if you haven't figured out what she was into use you imagination. She was ever so happy to see me...she was smilling and pointed at her bed and diaper and said "I went stinky mommy!" She was so happy and proud of herself. I on the other hand not so happy...I got to clean it up. She is a funny little girl and Trev and I just love to watch her during the day. (we more or less wonder what she is going ot do next) She has purpose behind everything she does. We, however, are not sure what the reasoning to playing in her diaper was. Monday I went and bought pull-ups to start potty training her (I was in no hurray but now...). I am not excited to be tied to my house but it has to be done. I do no want another crappy situation to arise! lol thats a good one!! Oh grrrreat!!! theres those Peterson geans shinning through! Love ya Dad! (might be a joke that only my family will get!)

I just have to say that these two girls together are very fun to watch. They love each other and get along very well. I love to watch them play together. They are creative and understand what the other one is thinking when they play house or anything that uses their imagination. They do fight occasionally but are able to get over it quickly. I hope they will stay best friends for life!

Hurray!!! I am so happy that I have all my pictures now. They turned out way cute I think. It has been an interesting last couple of days. On Thursday night, actually early Friday morning, I saw the midnight showing of Twilight. I loved it and can't wait for the next movie to come out. Friday came around and at about 6 pm Madison was sick to her stomach and was throwing up every 15- 20 minutes until between 2-3 in the morning! I felt so bad for her. None of the other kids caught what she had thankfully. Saturday we had some friends over to watch the BSU game (they kicked Nevada's tail!) and have some food. Then to top it all off Trev and I got to go on a date to see The Dark Night. The movie was way disturbing but really really awesome. So we had a lot going on this weekend and unfortunately my house suffered! Hopefully it will get cleaned by tomorrow! The fun that we had this weekend (this of course does not include maddy being sick) will continue on through this week, because if you have not noticed its THANKS GIVING! I am so hungrey for the turkey, smashed potatoes, and stuffing.....and can't forget those rolls! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and I am sure you will hear more from me later!

I have to say that I am a little disappointed in this blog. Well not so much in the blog as I am with what to post. I figured that I would have a lot to say and good stories to tell of Alaina and such. Since I have started this blog Alaina has been well...good...shockingly I know, but she has. Madison, Hailey, and Mason are all being good too. Unless Mason waking up every hour on the dot last night a good story. So, and this is going to sound crazy, but I wish my kids would do something crazy or silly just so that I can write a blog worth reaing!!! Hmmm....I wonder did I just say that I want choas and mayhem to happen.....I may have just cursed myself! But hey if it gets me a story then let it come. At least than you all would not just be reading some of my tangent thoughts, of which we all know that I have plenty of those. (but at least I am not calling you all a million times on the phone with pointless conversations!) Speaking of phone calls.... ;)

Now I am just waiting on Madison and the kids all together. Tell me one thing..they all look like they belong in my family don't they! Alaina is my behavior double (naughty but smart, never dull, and very very cute) but I think Hailey looks most like me. I could be wrong though, so what do you think. Mason looks handsome....I wonder where that came from!!! Lol nah! Hes as handsome as his dad. The question is: Will Mason keep his red hair or go blond just like his sisters. Only time will tell.

Finally!!! I have pictures! I still am waiting on Madison's pictures and the picture of them all together, but at least I have Hailey's, Alaina's, and Mason's! I hope you will like them!

Okay, so you all have asked and waited! I am finally doing it, I have somewhat created a blog. Its not finished yet and yes I am a bloggin beginner so give me some time and this blogspot will be kickin good! Pictures will...hopefully...make an appearance soon. So for now at least I have a beginning and when I am done...well...be prepared to be amazed!!!
