Dad and I, along with the two rugrats, arrived in North Dakota on Monday. We are hoping to live here for a year so Dad can work. My kids are as busy as ever! This past week has been full of moving and buying stuff for our new apartment. Yes! Apartment! I’m sorry neighbors but we are here so you will probably be hearing quite a bit from these disasters. This morning I woke up to Vay jumping on my air mattress at 8 am. This is not the best way to wake up but it definitely wakes you up! I got up and collected Dayton from his crib and pulled out the cereal bars. Vay decided she wanted to do it by herself so she threw herself down and threw her first fit of the day. After everyone was calm and fed it was get dressed time. Princess undies for Vay and diaper for Bugger. Clothes on, they were playing in their bedroom and I was in the living room making plans for the day while talking on the phone to dad. Suddenly there was a lot of crying in the bedroom. I ran in there to find Avaya guilty and Dayton distraught. I immediately started looking for the bite mark and sure enough on my poor baby’s shoulder was a row of teeth marks. After Vay got in trouble it was hugs for everyone and a little discussion about how we won’t bite anymore because it’s mean. We made our way to the living room and the kids moseyed on out to the balcony. I was chatting on the phone with my mom when avaya wandered back in with pants and undies around her ankles. “I have to go pee”, she says. Looking out on our third floor balcony I realized she already did! It poured through the cracks to the balconies below! So I end my call and pour hot soapy water down along with a rinse then cross my fingers that no one notices. Next I clean avaya up and replace the wet bottoms. By this point I decided today was a day to blog about. As I am writing away Avaya walks in the room wearing only a diaper with a pen along with a face and torso decorated. She must not have wanted to cover her artwork. Enlisting the help of wet wipes I got her cleaned up. As I was doing all of this Dayton was crying. Nap time followed for mom and the kids! The kids played for the rest of the day uneventfuly so all in all it was a pretty chill day. I’m so glad that my kids are so cute even dropping pee or covered in pen!

Well here is my life summed up in one picture! The sassy dark haired beauty on the left is my daughter Avaya and the one grinning on the right is my son Dayton. They are definitely going through a terroristic toddler stage right now. This picture is actually from a little while ago but it seems to be shareable. That day we had all arrived home from a ten hour overnight drive back from North Dakota (a bad start to any day). Dad was taking a nap upstairs while I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off frantic because we were late (this is a very normal occurrence). We were headed to a work Christmas party and running an hour late. I had the kids bathed and dressed so I ran out to start the car so we wouldn’t freeze to death on our way to the party. After frantically starting the car I ran back inside to brush my teeth. I shoved my hair in the regular ponytail I went to wake up Dad. As he was falling back asleep I ran back downstairs to get the kids shoes and coats on...

It was another busy day in our house! It started out with a wake up call of miss Avaya jumping on our bed at 8 AM. I rolled my tired self out of bed to make breakfast. The morning was spent wishing I could go back to sleep. At about ten I went to go wake up dad. I crawled in next to him and tried to wake him up nicely. The kids were quietly playing with their kitchen set in their bedroom. Soon I was dozing. I woke up to the sound of a toilet flush. Never a good sound with a two year old that is just potty training and a one year old that likes to put things in the toilet. I hopped out of bed and went to investigate. Sure enough it was bad! Toilet water all over the floor, two guilty faces and a toy bowl bobbing in the toilet. I cleaned them up and shut the bathroom door so I could clean up the mess they made. Ten minutes, a couple towels, and a whole bunch of bathroom cleaner later I left the bathroom. As I was leaving I spotted a tomato. I picked it up and found a huge bite taken out ...

Look at all that adorable innocence! Looking at them you would never guess what they are capable of. That sweet doll in the middle is our newest addition, Nali Ann. She has been an absolute peach since she was born (which was shortly before this picture was taken). Now miss Nali is three months old and her sweet smiles help me keep my sanity.  Nali got hungry at 8:30 this morning so I sleepily hauled  her into my bed to nurse. As I was slowly waking up I heard hysterical giggling coming from downstairs. Then I heard Avaya talking about coloring. This is when I knew there was going to be bad news awaiting me once I made it down there. I woke up my husband to go check on them. The giggles stopped the second he walked into the living room. This confirmed that they were doing something they shouldn’t be. I finished Feeding the baby and hurried downstairs to asses the damage. On my way out of my bedroom I tripped over my sisters bridal shower gift which was now spread all over...
