10 Reasons Toddlers Are Like A Frat Party

10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.

9. There's always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.

8. It's best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.

7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone's going to start banging on the door.

6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.

5. You've got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.

4. There's definitely going to be a fight.

3. You're not sure whether anything you're doing is right, you just hope it won't get you arrested.

2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.

1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.

I've never been to a frat party but now I know I haven't missed anything :)

To Know Her Is To Love Her....

Oh, my Baby Girl. She is a trouble maker. But she is so dang cute and she knows it.
She has a way of smiling at you when she is in trouble. And this is it. The shoulders go up and she tilts her head and smiles. She is trying to charm you.

She is trying to charm us here because she is the one who damaged the cake. It is Karly's birthday cake. I thought I put it high enough but I guess not. She got a couple good handfuls out of it.

I did get her dressed that day. I really did. But she thought it needed some improvement. Hence, the Dorothy dress, the Sleeping Beauty top, the beads, and two different boots. At least she's happy. Quite a creative look.

Baby decided that her feet were cold. A little odd considering it was June. So she decided that she needed to put on some socks. And not just one pair. That is just too boring. She had 5 pairs of socks on. I am amazed that she could move her ankles.

I just had to get a picture of the back of her head. Gotta show off the wonderful morning style that she was sporting.

I just didn't know that her deepest desire was to be in the play "The Phantom of the Opera" as the Phantom. I promise that she was able to complete this look in the time that it took me to brush my teeth and finish getting ready for the day. So what did I do after the shock of what she did wore off? Of course I took pictures. One on my cell phone so I could send it to Mike and a couple with our regular camera. Mike was afraid to ask what it was. It is only diaper rash cream. Mike said that she got the wrong end covered. Her poor eye was starting to tear and water. Luckily, most of it wiped off with a towel. and then I got her in the bath to wash the rest out of her hair. And was she mad about it coming off! Strange child.

I love my Baby girl and think she is the best finale that our family could have asked for. :)

Amazing Teachers.....

I have to give all of my kids teachers for this past school a lot of credit. My children came to love each one of them and I know that they will miss them.

Katelyn with her preschool teachers, Miss Connie and Miss Launa. All of my children have had Miss Connie for their preschool teacher. She has gotten help from Miss Launa just this year. Miss Connie has the patience of a saint. So we'll see how it goes when Baby starts 3-year old preschool with her in September. :)

Monica had Mrs. Oglivie. Monka had a rough start to the year. She has always been my one to sleep-in so 1st grade and all day school was quite the adjustment. But Mrs. Oglivie worked with us and by the end of the year My Monka was a very good student. Monica just loved her and cried when she left 1st grade. And the best thing is that Mrs. O came to love Monka too. She said that Monka has a huge heart and was a friend to everyone, especially to new students.

Karly had Ms. Jensen. Megan has Ms. Jensen for 2nd and 4th grade. So I already knew her and Karly was not nervous about 4th grade because she already knew her teacher. Ms. Jensen really loves her students and it shows. Karly did very well in her class. Ms. Jensen told me that Karly is friends with everyone and no one in the class had a bad thing to say about her.


Megan got to have the teacher that she requested to have, Mrs. Kutterer (like scooter but with a K). Most of the kids in the school want to have her for 6th grade and Megan was thrilled when she found out that she got her. She was exactly the teacher that Megan needed to have. Megan thrived in her class. She called it the best year she has had in school so far. And that is because of Mrs. Kutterer. Megan would leave class everyday and tell her "Thank you for teaching us today." Mrs. Kutterer loved that. She told me that Megan would be one of the students that she would truly miss.

All in all, my children were truly blessed to have the teachers that they did. They loved and cared about my children and my children loved them in return.
