Brynna: But I want a ice cream sandwhich!

Me: Eat two more bites of your turkey burger and then you can have an ice cream sandwhich.

Brynna: You are not fair and you are not sick!

Me: Brynna, why did you throw that shirt?

Brynna: Well I wanted to.

Me: We don't throw anything but balls. Please go pick it up. Now.

Brynna: Well I don't want to.

Me: Do you hear what I am telling you?

Brynna: Well I don't want to listen.

In the car on the way to school yesterday morning:

Brynna; Baylen, don't cry today at breakfast okay? Mommy is going to drop you off 'cuz she has to go to work. Don't cry okay?

Baylen: Kay.

Brynna; Mom will go to work and then come back and pick you up as soon as she can okay? Don't worry.

Baylen: Kay.

;) (btw: he didn't cry yesterday when I dropped them off for b-fast)

*Also, yesterday when I picked them up, Brynn was over with Baylen in his classroom. She asked to go over there in the afternoon (around 3:30 ish) b/c she wanted to go spend some time with him. The teachers let her of course. WHen I arrived, they were sitting next to each other eating a snack. The teachers tell me she is one of the few kids who actually acknowledges their sibling in the lunch room. Many others ignore them as much as possible. She really cares about him and always tries to take care of him. She worries about him even though they do not always get along. It is so neat to see how their relationship has been forming. They were together all summer and I think she goes through Baylen withdrawls. I totally understand. :)

I think I have problems

yesterday I wore my shirt backwards all day long and apparently no one noticed until later when we returned home and Dj asked me, "Hey, isn't your shirt on backwards?" NICE.

NOTE to Self: check tags in shirts before putting them on to avoid this ever happening again.

First Day...but not counting it yet

I took these on the kids's first day of school but I decided I am going to retake them on Brynn's first day of pre-school and Baylen will have his taken then too because that will be coming up here and really, that is what I want to count this year. She starts on Sept. 14th and is looking forward to having something new and fun to do during the day. We bought Brynn a new backpack (the pre-school size) from PBK with her name on it and she loves her new bag. She still can't wear it very well on her back as you can see in the one of the pics!

Already Sicky

Brynnie stayed home today because last night she came home and right after she walked in the door, she crashed on the couch. She was acting like she wasn't feeling very good and felt warm. We made her eat some dinner, which she didn't eat much of and then threw her and Baylen in the bath, gave them both Infant Tylenol and put them right into bed. Both were exhausted and fell asleep by 7:45. Baylen's been teething and he just has sore gums and Brynn of course, felt feverish, so we decided both needed the meds. When she woke up this a.m., she still felt a little warm so I took her temp. in her mouth and under her arm and both were hovering around 99.8-99.9. She said she felt sick and didn't feel good and wanted to stay home. For this girl to say she didn't want to go to school really meant she wasn't feeling well. She still felt a little warm this evening when I got home from school meetings, but said she was feeling better and wanted to try and go to school tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow is a sick-free day. It sure didn't take long for her to become ill. Honestly, I think she was just run down from staying up late on Sunday night, staying up late on Saturday night, and just not getting enough rest. I have a feeling once pre-school, Spanish and dance begin next week that she'll be pretty tired out too.

In other exciting news, we are going to the circus this weekend! :) Brynn thinks there are rides there so I keep telling her there are only animals and no rides. She keeps arguing with me that there are rides. Hopefully she won't be too disappointed to find out that mom was right. LOL

Bumbo makes a return

When Brian was over helping DJ install the new sink, Tami and the boys came over for a visit. I pulled out the Bumbo for him to sit in and we haven't taken it back out to the garage yet. Both Brynn and Baylen are always trying to sit in it. Guess who still fits in the Bumbo and who does not?!

The new sink!

Here are pics of the new sink. The color is expresso, which is a dark brown. it looks really good in our kitchen. We also bought a new "faucet," and a garbage disposal to go with the new sink and it turned out beautifully.
