Paxman

Some fun with Paxton...

Trying out Daddy's slippers


Which way are you going Pax?


Our little thug


Inevitable

This is how Piper most often spends her days - decked out in her tutu, princess slippers, and on occasion her sunglasses. (and on this particular day she has a dress on too!) All "girlied" out!!


If you spend even five minutes in our house you will most likely hear a lot of fantastic vocabulary revolving around "poop, butts, and farts" followed by huge belly laughs because with 3 boys in the house (not including Paxton here) this is all apparently gut bustingly funny! Well, it has rubbed off on our sweet, girly girl, 2 year old princess. Not only does she say these things, but she finds them just as funny! So, there are inevitably two sides to this little girl who loves her princesses, but loves her brothers and Daddy even more!!

HALLOWEEN 2011
Dinosaurs, monkies, and a princess fairy

Pinkalicious: Piper is in love with the book series Pinkalicious so that's what she was for Halloween. I had a blast with this - my first all out girly costume!




Paxmonkey (which he is often called on a normal day)


The cousins


The fairies - this was totally unplanned but they looked so cute together


The boys (minus one very active monkey)


These teeth are courtesy of Aunt Dorothy - they were the hit of the night


The gang


The aftermath of wearing her hair in pigtails!

HAPPY 'BELATED' HALLOWEEN!

Do over??

So today was just an all around crappy day. Everything just seemed to fall apart all at once! I needed to vent so I sent Jeff an email, that I will now share with you...(I must preface this by saying I never give the kids Koolaid, but decided to allow them to have it as a special treat)



Today has been such a horrible day!!!!!!!!! We get to the park and Parker wipes out and is covered from head to toe (literally) with mud! Then this woman decides to YELL at the boys for the sticks that they had just picked up - I didn't even get a chance to say anything to them. She goes over and physically removes them from their hands and throws them in the grass area. If that wasn't enough to set me off - her kid was following Pax around and picking him up. The one time he was going for the steps and she lifted him and dropped him! Of course the lady had an excuse as to why it was ok everytime she did something she shouldn't have.







Then Peyton was bad, was pushing to go first and Sissy wiped out in the parking lot. He was throwing a tantrum over the Koolaid I took away as punishment while Piper was having her 100th tantrum of the day over having to get in the car.






We finally get home and they are eating lunch. They finish and I go out to the car to get the bag. I come back in to Parker standing by the gate with throw up running down his chin and belly. He threw up spaghettios and meatballs, oranges, and red koolaid in the living room, hitting blocks, toys, toy bins. Pax is over playing in it with his hands, his feet are covered, pants soaked. I get his stuff off, put him in the pack n play where he poops. Meanwhile Peyton is in the bathroom so I have Parker standing by the trashcan and he eventually says he's fine. Next thing I know he is throwing up all over the kitchen floor!!!! This whole time Piper is sitting in her chair with spaghettios and oranges - do I need to tell you how that ended up???






I have to somehow wrestle Pax to get his diaper changed and shirt off so I can wash all the throw up off in the tub. Parker is in the tub too and Pax is screaming his head off!! The throw up is now all over me!





This whole time Peyton is continually asking me for the darn koolaid!!!!!!!!!!






Oh yeah, Parker peed all over the bathroom floor!!!!






This is coming off of a rough weekend too - on Sat I went to the Post Office to mail a few packages. A 10 minute trip tops! On my way home I need to get over so that I can go around these people riding bikes.  I end up driving over someone's brake pad and it pops my tire!! Did I mention I have ALL 4 kids with me???
 
Jeff is at work, about 2 hours until he can get to me, my parents are on their way to a funeral, my brother is working, so I call Jeff's dad. He comes to help me, still hoping for about a 20 min tire change and we can all be on our way. No such luck!!! He can't get the spare tire to come down and has to go get me a new tire put on my wheel. The kids are going crazy at this point, I let them out, and Paxton falls headfirst into the pavement and scrapes up his face, gets a huge lump on his eyebrow.....I call my sister in law and she is able to come but can only fit 2 of the 4 in her car. Jeff's dad takes the other two back to the house to meet Emily. During this whole fiasco, the car doors are open, my lights are on... the battery dies!!!! Finally after 2 plus hours I am finally able to go home to find out that my neice was supposed to go to a playdate with a friend and because they had to come get my kids she couldn't go!!! I wanted to cry right along with her!!!

Trick or Treat

TRICK...


OR TREAT...



This is Paxton's latest trick he attempted. I left him buckled in a five point harness in his high chair while I took Parker to the bathroom. I came back out to find Paxton standing on the tray of his high chair!!! I grabbed him with one hand and reached for my camera. He then realized it was a little scary and wouldn't stand back up for me to take the pic how I found him.
