!!OY!!

First of all let me just say, "!!OY!!"  Today has been hell!  You know people tell you before you have kids that they are hard to handle and I believed this but some days more than others do I get a lesson in just how difficult they can be.  Today Sully pulled a chair out from under his sister, causing her to fall on her face and giving her a bloody nose.  After that he then managed to almost break our lovely...expensive...tv stand...thankfully when Ryan got home we managed to fix that little problem.  Third, he sat on one of the new night stands in our room and somehow managed to collapse the entire thing.  So now tomorrow I have to find a way to put it back together again...wish me luck!  In between all this mayhem I managed to feed, clothe, and even play with my children a little today.  Nothing special for art time today so no pictures, we just painted, always fun for any four year old, and mommy too on occasion!  After all that and dinner they are in bed and Ryan is too, and I'm writing this blog and I have yet again changed the look of the things.  One of these days I will get it right, until then please bear with me while I work through my blogger changes!!!  Oh and both kiddos are feeling much better!  Both still have runny noses but are back to their normal, rotten selves!

Easter is coming! Slowly but surely and well we will not be home so the Easter Bunny brought my munchkins their big presents early this year...very early as we are a little impatient and wanted them to get their bikes early haha so....we had one chance to ride before the snow hit and sickness and I'm gonna post a few pics from that! The kids are now sick and Ryan is sick and it sucks! Hoping we all get better quickly...Ry is on vacation next week and we need to be better so we can have a good time!!! More about vacation plans later! For now hope you like the new changes...we are having an identity crisis round here...enjoy the pictures!!!

Hiatus!!!!

Well I've been on hiatus this week.  I do have good reasons for this break though!  Poor me, I've been sick.  Felt like a truck ran over my head several times, then I lost my voice, then because of all this sickness my house has gotten to be a mess.  So today I am finally gettnig things cleaned up and trying to get back on track.  Promise to be back and on track come Monday!  Although we do plan to attempt a volcano this weekend and paint some pots for planting flowers, so maybe there will be some blog posts before Monday!  Either way enjoy your weekend I know I intend to enjoy mine....all except for the damn nasty snow that the weather people are calling for right now.  I am so tired of the cold just bring on Spring already dang it!  Come on Kansas be nice to us for a change!

Egg Carton Flowers on a rainy day!!!

Today in the Dembkowksi house has been very busy!  I scrubbed every inch of my house!  Did bathrooms, washed bedding, dusted, mopped, vacuumed, you name it, I cleaned it in my house today.  It was a hard day of work but I'm glad it's done and I can spend my weekend relaxing instead of cleaning.  I did take some time out of my cleaning to feed and bath my children.  Oh speaking of feeding them there's something new we have started at meal times that we are enjoying and I haven't told you about yet!  I make the kiddos breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, and then we sit down and while they eat I read to them!  Keeps them quiet because their mouths are full and focused because they can't get up and run around during the story.  They have really been enjoying that reading time and so have I.  At this point when Sully sees me start to cook or get any food ready he heads to the bookshelf, grabs a bunch of books, takes them to the table, then sits and waits patiently for me to get the food on the table and start reading.  It's fun, it's new, and my kids are even eating better thanks to this new change in our routine!

Anywho onto the fun part of the day for Mr. Sully!  Today we made egg carton flowers!  Cut up an egg carton so you have just the shells, paint the shells, let them dry, then poke holes and stick pipe cleaners in the bottoms, put in a vase, glass, cup, any container really that looks pretty, and voila a fun spring decoration that you can enjoy, and your munchkin can be proud of!!! 

Fallon was very into reading big books today as you will see!  Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Apple Painting!

Well folks things have been pretty dull round here the last few days.  Yesterday we didn't have time for an art or craft because I was too busy scrubbing my toosh off.   Anyway I'm starting today with my daily posts about art time.  Today we painted with apples!  I just cut an apple in half and we used the halves to make prints on the paper.  They were a hit at first, then brushes and fingers got involved and the poor apples were forgotten.  We did however get some use out of them and had a great time!  Fallon refused to nap today so she helped us paint....she really didn't paint much on the paper as she was too busy painting on herself.  Anywho pics to follow enjoy and hope you had a wonderful Thursday!!!!

Hello there!

Hello there my wonderful blog readers! How have you all been? Things have been alright here. Lots of new changes in our daily routines that I need to update about and even new changes to the blog look. Hope you guys like the new look! Well it's Wednesday, hump day as some would call it, and I couldn't be happier. Feels like this week is dragging by and it's been a bad one so far, I think it's the rain...makes a person gloomy. Anyway some of the fun new stuff that's been going on around here....Sully spouts off some very funny things these days. For example the other day, he was climbing on the counter in my bathroom, I walked up behind and caught him, told him to get down, and gave him a quick pat on the toosh, well he turns to me and says, "Mom, that was NOT necessary!" I was stunned a bit by that one. Where did he learn the word, and know how to use it in the right context? Where he learns most thing I suppose,...from me lol! Still doesn't change the shock!!! Sully and I have started an arts and crafts/science/anything fun really time when Fallon is napping. So far we have done all sorts of paintings and made Mr. Sully an art wall for his fun new stuff, we have also been doing pop bottle science, salt dough, and a bunch of other stuff. I am gonna start trying to blog and add pics of what we do during that daily so stay tuned and wish me luck!

Fallon hasn't changed much. She's learning new words and actions daily...still she refuses to stay Mama unless she absolutely wants me...not sure why that is. Funny Fallon story...the other day Sully went into the bathroom and went potty, Fallon went in to the bathroom after Sully was finished and proceeded to go thru the exact same motions...only trouble is she thinks she's supposed to pee like a boy...guess that means it's time to pull out the little kiddo potty for Miss Fallon and teach her how to pee like a girl.

Pics are from this last weekend....it was gorgeous out so we bought some bubbles, grilled out, and enjoyed the weather!!! Happy Hump Day and enjoy!!!

"Mommy! I have to poop!"

Well fellow bloggers/blog readers......I really do not feel like picking up the insane mess of toys that my children made sooo I decided I would tell a fun story that happened to me the other day.

Sunday while we were in Topeka, we stopped for dinner, and about the time dinner is over Sully looks at me and in a not very quiet or discreet voice says to me, "Mommy! I have to poop!!! I'm farting and I have to poop!" So knowing that Fallon has just done a number in her diaper I decide to brave things and I grab my one year old and the hand of my four year old and the diaper bag and head for the restrooms. The restrooms were not very close to us. They happened to be around all the way on the other side of the place. They could have been as far away as the moon it seemed it took that long to get to them. Why you ask did it feel like it took light years to get to the restrooms? That would be because my four year old kept up, in his not so discreet voice, the constant chatter of, "Mommy I have to poop! Mommy I'm farting, I feel them coming! Oh no mommy there was another fart! Mommy we need to get to the bathroom I have to POOP!" I kept telling him we were going to the bathroom, that we were almost there, to be quiet, and none of that worked. He had to go and he didn't stop letting me and the other restaurant goers know until I finally had him in the stall and on the toilet! I have never been so embarrassed before in my life!! I know that there are bound to be more funny things such as that to come in my life but wow that is one trip to the bathroom I will never forget! Oh and to top off the restroom experience, the doors to all the stalls were broken, as was the changing table, so I had to hold the door shut, change a diaper, and keep Sully on the pot until I could wipe his toosh, all while attempting to keep my one year old from screaming her head off because she wasn't happy. I told myself that night, "Yep. I'm a mom. No dad could have pulled off a stunt like that."
