The Performer & Her Brother

I told you I took a video of them singing the other day in their swim suits…

I decided that this one was totally worthy of being posted.  Enjoy!  If you watch it to the end – you’ll get a last minute laugh!  I couldn’t help but laugh out loud myself while I was recording.  So mean mom laughing in the background!

Swim Suit Season… er…

My kids do not like to get dressed.  Well I take that back.  They want to stay in their pajamas ALL DAY LONG!  I’m not that kind of person.  I get dressed in real clothes every single day – even if I am not going anywhere.  My kids don’t like this.  Mally is getting better at getting dressed these days because she can do it by herself –and she is now liking to pick out her own clothes and oh my!  That is another post in itself! 

Max – I’ll get him dressed but I’ll have to convince him that it is either a totally comfy outfit or that he will look like daddy when he wears it!  But about 1/2 or 3/4 of the way threw the day he will be digging in his dresser drawers for pajamas and will bring them to me and beg to wear them!  I found a huge stack of footie pajamas the other day when I was bringing out his next size of clothes and OhMGee!  Now he really won’t get dressed!! 

This day I was in the shower and Max was crying outside the bathroom door.  Like full on crying.  I open the door and there he is standing there with his swim trunks and swim shirt in his hands.  He wants to wear his swim suit!  Really!?  In the bathroom he comes with me and he starts taking off the footie pajamas and waving the swim suit around.  I put it on him.  I’m not going anywhere today and it is not a battle I’m willing to battle today.  : ) 

Well then Mallory sees Max in his swim suit and she runs off to her room closes the door and comes back out with her suit on!

Here she is doing some homework in her suit!

And Max doing his homework in his suit.

He only sits for a short while before he runs off to play with toys.  He has a touch of a cold so he was quick to find his way to my lap with a couple of tractor trailers he wanted to drive all over Mally’s homework.

Then it was off to band lessons.  ; )  We kept rotating stations.  Max on the drums, Mally on the guitar and signing and I was playing the piano.  Then Mally wanted the piano and I was to sing and play the guitar.  Then Max wanted a turn at signing.

I’m guessing you wanted a closer look at that handsome boy, right?!  Yes his shirt is WAY too small – but does it look like he cares?  Nope!

Yadda Yadda

It is the same old same old over here with us.  Nothing new.  Nothing exciting.  We are totally loving this new lifestyle/schedule of not working every hour of the day!  I’m totally loving working two nights a week.  I love my work life so it is a perfect balance for us!  Jesse loves having those two nights a week with the kids and the kids eat it up!! 

The first day he was with them they went out in the RZR and got totally stuck!  Stuck – Stuck!  Had to get the winch out and the kids got a lesson in winching and getting out of too deep of snow.  I just shake my head and giggle when I hear these stories.  Only Jesse!  : ) 

When I ask the kids about it their eyes get big and they can’t tell me the story fast enough.  Even little Max can give you the play by play on how to get the RZR out of the snow bank!  He paid full attention! 

I have taught the kids naughty things when riding in the RZR.  I’m a screamer!  I can’t help it.  I try not to be – but it just happens.  Have you ever rode with Jesse?  The other night we were all out there and he was literally flying threw the woods and doing donut after donut in the fields and then would take back off flying threw the woods again and I yelled “Jesse!”  He stops and looks back at me and says, “What?”  I said, “Are we in some sort of competition I don’t know about?”  He says, “Why?”  My response, “Why are we driving like this?”  He replies, “This is off roading – it’s what you do.” And we blast off again! 

So now Mally screams!  And Max yells “Jesse!  Jesse Frey!”  It is hilarious!  I can’t help but giggle between my own screams and Jesse!  Jesse Frey! 

For some reason staying home now I forget to get the camera out and take pictures.  I do have a few that I took towards the end of last week.  Max had lined up his trucks and tractors.

Then in typical boy fashion – he crashed them all!

Mally was down with a head cold watching Tangled.  She really enjoys that movie.
