These things were actually said at my house today.


Rollin : "Fynn thanks for helping me find the matches."

Fynn: "It was my pleasure."

Tucker : "Actually I think I do need scottage tape."


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fynn to me "thanks toots!"

 Rollins newest creation is a home made scope with cross hairs.

 Tucker and I spent some time today trying to perfect paper fletching on a home made fire hardened arrow.

 Rollin tried to run away from my camera! Gotch ya Rollin!

 Fynn, with his orange ball.

A little piece of metal treasure Fynn found in the back yard.

Sellin a house while three boys live in it

I mean it is a lot of work having three boys or trying to sell a house but trying to do both at the same time pretty much crazy! I actually was feeling like I sorta had everything "under control" for the open house that our realtor is having tomorrow, but then........well The boys are always hungry for second supper so before anyone even asked I threw a bunch of super healthy frozen chicken wings in the oven cleaned the kitchen did a bunch of laundry took out the trash remembered that the chicken wings were in the oven and got them out before they burned!  Turned out no one was really hungry. Or they just didn't want chickens wings, but when I announced that it was either time to eat them or get in bed they all decided to eat. So Fynn accidentally grabbed one of the "HoT" wings and immediately started to hyper ventilate and run in circles and back and forth in the kitchen. He drank some water and continued to pant, complaining of fire in his mouth, so I suggested more water. He chugged another glass of water still completely frantic. So i quickly grabbed a piece of super healthy bread and super healthy peanut butter and made a super healthy sandwich that I was sure would fix the problem.  I said "here Fynn take a bite" he looked hard at the sandwich and said I think I'm okay now." But I had just made a peanut butter sandwich in record time so I insisted "Here just take one bite" He continued glaring at the sandwich then said "my stomach hurrr,,,I'm gonna be sick" and he immediately put his hand over his mouth and ran vomiting all the way through the house until he got to the bathroom.  Luckily Thadeus is a carpet cleaning genius!  I think Fynn is fine now but Rollin definitely had a fever when went to sleep!   So for now I am just hoping everyone wakes up healthy in the morning and our buyers fall in love with this place tomorrow afternoon!


p.s. we had red and green pancakes this morning for the first day of december!

things I said out loud today

"Why did you just punch him?"

"ummm actually those are large cinnamon sticks not blowguns"

"can you please stop tackling each other"

"I guess you don't have to, but if you play t-shirt tag and your not wearing underwear people might see your butt. Are you ok with that?"

"You guys ate everything I had for made for dinner, I can make you a peanut butter and jelly."

"No Tucker,  we are not making home made pepper spray!"

"who did this?"

"Why did you open a fourth box of cereal?"





I lost a little  piece of my soul tonight. The boys and I went to Lowes to buy a fake Christmas Tree.  It's not right, but it is pre-lit. It won't shed and I won't have to water it.  Still I am really disapointed with myself so to make up for it a little. To make myself feel like maybe I still have some Christmas spirit I bought "scentcicles". They are scented sticks you hang on your fake tree to make it smell like a real tree.  But before I decided to buy them I let the boys test them out. They all went down a side Isle and closed their eyes while I put one scentcicle on one of the many many trees that were on display. Then when I gave the signal they all began to sniff each and every tree in the long long row.  My little bloodhounds were diligent and Fynn paused at the right tree but in the end none of them could find the scentcicle. I bought them anyway.

Soccer!!

This is post season but I can't leave it out! The boys were great and learned a lot from their first season. I really enjoyed watching Rollin! He has a GREAT attitude and smiles a lot while he is playing!  He has fun and is kind to his teammates! Tucker surprised me when he watched some soccer moves on youtube, practiced a couple times, then used them at the game and scored a goal.  And Fynn was Fynntastic! What can I say?  It was a great experience and I would love to see any or all of them try again next fall!
