Poop Rangers and Other Things

Hunter and Mason were playing in the bathtub last night. They each had a wash cloth stuck to their chests and somehow that meant they were "poop rangers."

Hunter and I have been playing "Go Fish" each evening.

Last night Mason gave me his first unsolicited "I love you."

Mason realized a few nights ago that his mommy has "two bellies." Can you figure out what I mean there? The two bellies are above the one belly I have in reality!
He told me he thinks I'm "funny" because of my "two bellies."

Valentines Day is approaching- Hunter is handing out Star Wars valentines. Mason is handing out Batman valentines.

I read to Hunter's kindergarten class last Friday. I read "What Pet to Get." How are kindergarteners different from high schoolers you ask? They smile, they raise their hands, they ask questions, they answer questions, they like you without you having to really try, etc. I love kindergarteners!

I spoke with Hunter's principal last week..... Yes- he has now been sent to the principal's office. Crossing fingers. Prayer sent up to heaven! Please God, let all be well! :)

Mason is the best end-of-the-day greeter! He barrels into me when I arrive at daycare. He gives the best hugs.

Hunter is my pal. We read stories together every night. Right now we're enjoying YOU CAN READ Chronicles of Narnia books. I remember being enchanted by those books.

Super Bowl Party 2010- 4 little tykes running around wreaking havoc! It will be fun to see what summer 2010 brings. I suspect the four boys will be great friends and bring out the absolute best in one another (mischief). They are also looking forward to welcoming another little bundle into the group in July!!!!! (Hey Kellie and Wade!).

LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING! (sending another prayer up right now!)

Hunter and Daddy's Day of Fun- Q and A with Hunter Mohs

I'm typing what Hunter tells me to type:

What did you and Daddy do today? We played bowling and golfing

What was your favorite part? To bowl

What else did you do today? I played kindergarten class.

What did you do at kinderg--- Hunter cut me off with an "I'm done." He walked away.

The Mohs Family Needs Spring

We want to run and play outside! We want the windows open! We are sick of winter coats, boots, hats, gloves, etc. We want to go swimming! We want to hear birds singing! We want to see green grass instead of white snow! We want to play at the "cool stairs" park! We want to play at "Bryant Lake Park." We want to ride our bikes and write on the driveway with sidewalk chalk. We want to sit around a bonfire with our friends and listen to "Like a Boss" (more my husband and me than my two kids). We want to go to the Farmers Market and buy yummy produce. We want time off from work/school. We (more I) want to go on long walks again!

This is really all I'm thinking about tonight! I just really want these next two months of winter to melt away!

Put my foot in my mouth

While I was completely within my right to react, I probably should have counted to ten and taken three deep breaths. Mitch e-mailed me at work today with the grand news that he is working both Saturday and Sunday...ALL DAY! After I read his e-mail, I scrolled down and read the message that his boss had sent to Mitch's team. At the end of his e-mail was a line that read something like this: "Feel free to forward on to your friends and family that you are busy this weekend." RAGE boiled within my chest. I quickly zapped off an e-mail to Mitch that read something like this: "Since _____ encouraged you to forward his e-mail onto friends and family, feel free to send him my response...." The ..... I'll leave to your imagination. I really didn't say anything too bad, but I think I made my point. Anyway, shortly after sending off that e-mail, Mitch's boss e-mailed me at work with his apologies. Of course, I felt quite the ASSHOLE but also pleased with myself. I am currently in the midst of grading around 200 essays (all of which need to be graded by end of the day Monday). I am currently taking care of/raising two little boys and oftentimes go it alone. I am tired of my husband's job dictating how our family life functions. Will my sarcastic e-mail to his boss change anything, probably not...but at least he knows that I know that this is TRULY RIDICULOUS!

Go Vikings

After weeks of battling a neighborhood thief over the Christmas gifts he had cruelly stolen, Mitch finally has his two Vikings jerseys- one is a Favre (Brett Favre!) and the other is a Harvin- just in time for the NFC championship game!
