New Blogs

Hi All,

I'm in the process of editing my posts and have created two new blogs, one for Golden Nuggets and another for Kiddie Kwotes. It's pretty much the same blog, but the names are changed and I'm trying not to put specific locales. So, I think I'm just going to set this account to private really soon. I may or may not use it to put unedited version of the posts, I'm not sure what to do yet. So, this is so you can update your blog rolls. My new blogs are: www.kiddiekwotes.blogspot.com AND www.ourgoldennuggets.blogspot.com. Thanks!

Kiddie Kwote-Vacuum

I've been reading about several moms who have been training their children to do various chores and how the children have complained when their siblings mess up all their hard work. Well, I finally have one of my own.

Ricky and Juliet have always thought that vacuuming was fun. So, lately, I've been training them to vacuum. Yes, Juliet can push our upright vacuum, that's a bit taller than her, around. I have Ricky do the rug under our dining table and Juliet does the living room. I know, it doesn't seem fair for Juliet to do a whole room and for Ricky to do a little area rug, but until they realize that, that's what they're assigned to.

So, last night, we had people over for dinner and of course crumbs got on the rug.

Juliet: Mommy, there's corn on the rug.
Me: Yes, I see it.
Juliet: Oh...Ricky just vacuumed it. She said this sounding kind of sorry for him.

Oh, if you only knew how those words were music to my ears.

Kiddie Kwotes-Bath

Today was so much fun, but at 9:20pm, I am so exhausted. I'll post more about it later. I was giving the girls a bath tonight and this is the first time I have ever done this:

Juliet: Haha, Mommy, why is Zoey wearing socks?

Yes, I put Zoey in the bath with her socks on! I told you I was exhausted!

Opposites

My mom was gone for a couple of weeks. She was in the Philippines for her brother's funeral. Even though I told her not to worry about it, she brought back some "pasalubongs" (presents) for them. Here's what she brought back for the girls.

Zoey totally loved this outfit! She kept saying, "Is coot. (It's cute.)"


Now, Juliet was another story. Look at those tears! You almost feel sorry for her, right?


This was literally two minutes after I told her she could take the outfit off.

GOLDEN NUGGET: My life became much more interesting when God blessed me with children.

Kiddie Kwote-Stomach

Juliet: Mommy, did you know that everytime I step on Zoey's stomach, she starts laughing?

What?!!? Seriously, I can't take my eyes off of them for one minute!
