found the answer

these 2 have fought all morning
and all week
i found the answer
rented 2 movies, put them in 2 different rooms
2 hours of peace for me
heaven.

saturday night

b was home on time. even 10 min early. good boy.

kinda funny

so my last post was about how brendan wouldn't come home 1 minute after his curfew. so i thought. well he was late again. 45 min late. wow. i guess he didn't learn the first time. so we will try again until he gets that we are serious. kinda funny to me, but so not funny to him. i love the excuses and the reasons and all that he comes up with. but i am smarter than he thinks because i tried using them all when i was his age and they didn't work for me either.

*********

so a member of the bishopric came over and rang the doorbell in his suit this weekend. evan had just gotten out of the bath and was in his birthday suit but still wanted to answer the door. i told him he couldn't do that but to peek out the window and see who it was. he exclaimed, "ITS THE PROPHET" now that wasn't kinda funny it was REALLY funny.

you gotta do what you gotta do

i think our teenagers think we like to punish them. we don't. both of them are home on a saturday night. jess said she is never ever coming out of her room. i have a feeling she will come out of her room. and i have a feeling that she will be a little nicer to her family members and i am pretty sure brendan will not come home 1 minute after his curfew again. because staying home on a saturday night is possibly the worst thing that could ever happen to the two of them.

happy halloween and just because

halloween 2010

nerd (loved it when the girls were picking out his outfit they said it's not hard to find nerd clothes in dads closet)

punk rock fairy

illegal immigrant

'lil cupcake

grumpy 'ol troll (brendans nickname for me, troll hair??)

astronaut

glamour girl

just because this outfit was way too cute to not take a picture of it.
you gotta love target.

i think her hand is sticky from the 20 pieces of candy she ate.
she really does not cooperate at all when i take her picture.

and evan distracting her doesn't help.

fall

i am thinking we enjoyed our last warm day of fall today. it was beautiful. why do kids love fall? the leaves. playing in them, riding their bikes through them and of course throwing them. i love living in utah in the fall. soon the leaves will fall off the trees and snow and winter will be right around the corner. i don't love living in utah in the winter. ugh.

freeze

my sister said she would like to freeze her little boy at 4 years old. i would like to freeze my 4 and 15 year old for another couple of years just so i can enjoy these ages. because they are pretty great. don't get me wrong they both can drive me bonkers. but most of the time i love to be with them. "b" drives me anywhere i want to go, and drops me off right at the door. picks me up right when i come out. except for those couple of times i have come out and he is jamming to the tunes he is listening to way too loud and isn't watching for me. i have a feeling when he turns 16 and doesn't need me in the car anymore he won't take me everywhere i need and want to go. so i am going to enjoy these last 6 months. my little evie watches every move his big brother makes and wants to be just like him. i would be pretty happy if he did turn out just like his big brother. i love them both, feel very blessed to have these boys in my life and am so happy i am their mom.
