What a Day!

Lets not start with today, really the fun started last night when Caroline decided to wake me up 3 times in the middle of the night because she "thought" Devin woke her up. The morning went pretty well other than the fact I only had about 20 minutes to get ready for church, no big deal I was way too tired to care about my hair anyways. At church (which for us is 4 1/2 hrs because we go early for Shawn's meetings to save gas) Caroline was not the best. She wouldn't listen and had three time outs before sacrament meeting even started. Here's my favorite part of the day, in the middle of the first hour Caroline needs to use the potty so I take her and she completely misses the toilet and gets urine all over the seat, floor, and even my shoe! I just wanted to cry and go home but had to teach nursery so I stuck it out. Luckily our friends had an extra pair of underwear for Caroline to use. Nursery was a mad house today. Twelve kids in each side and lots of tears! I'm so glad to be home and have kids in bed! Oh and we've since turned the lock around on Caroline's door so no more night time visits. Looking back its pretty funny but wow, I'm tired.

Vacation!

This week Shawn was on a break so we decided to take full advantage and spent the week traveling around Houston. First stop the Temple. Caroline has been asking to see it for quite some time.

Here is Caroline for her photo op.

Walking around the grounds.
We also went to go see friends that had a baby, the zoo, and Ryry and Nani made my week by inviting Caroline over for a slumber party! Ryan picked her up after work on Thursday and then Friday we went to pick her up and stayed at Bethy's. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures once we got there. It was such a great week, and I'm glad we were able to have fun before Shawn is off to surgery rotation!

Boys are Gross

Today while I was getting the kids ready for bed Devin did something so nasty I thought I was going to throw up. He reached in the toilet grabbed some toilet paper that was in there and PUT IT IN HIS MOUTH! I wanted to die! I thought this was really weird but I've heard from Grandma Funk that his cousin Evan does the same thing, so I guess it runs in the family. Really I just think boys are gross.

Melt My Heart

Recently Caroline has been so cute I wonder how I ever get frustrated with her. Here are a few things that melt my heart a little.
1. Sing a mix of I Love to see the Temple and I'm a Child of God to Devin to "help" him fall asleep.
2. Takes her brush and say "I do it like Reed." and then proceeds to put 5 headbands in my hair and brush it.
3. Run up and say "I have an idea, take friend to zoo."
4. Recognize when I that when I say b-a-t-h I mean bath.
For those of you who love the crazy Caroline don't worry she's still here she filled her sink with bubbles the other day by playing with the soap for about 15 minutes.

A Good Day

Some days I feel like a slacker mommy, but today was a good day. It rained almost all afternoon and I decided to build jungle gym for Caroline and Devin. It was a hit! When I told Caroline we used to build these for her and Mabel she said "I want B come over." So this is your official invite B. Anyways they played on it for about an hour before getting distracted. Here is a picture of Caroline "exercising" on it, and Devin just being cute. Apparently her work out got her pretty riled up b/c for the next hour Caroline couldn't stop running around jumping up and down and just being plan old crazy! It was quite something. She's a nut.

Exercise Group

I finally followed through with something. I joined an exercise group! It is the most wonderful thing ever. Caroline gets to play with friends while I go work out. We go to the rec center nearby that has tons of elliptical machines and weights and a POOL! I'm so excited to go swimming, they even heat it in the winter. I just need to find my goggles. This should make it much easier to loose some more lbs, but then again I probably need to kick the chocolate too. We'll see how I do with that.
