Corn Maize!

Today I took my children to the corn Maize in Meridian. It was so fun, we all had a good time. I lost two of them for a while, but I was never really panicked because there are only a few ways out of the Maize. Pierre and I split up and looked for them only to discover that they were already done and playing in a small tractor pull thing. Here are all the kids on a hayride.. It was really hot and we were very tired after all that looking for kids and finding nothing and looking again and them seeing us and just giggling at us looking for them...

This picture is great. At first they were in the right ones...Girl on the girl side and boy on the boy side, but then they switched and I snapped the picture...nice boobies...mr.. Little guy wanted a small pumpkin. So, we carried it around for a while. He later threw it off of a bridge in the corn maize....what?? We then went to buy costumes for Halloween at Walmart- which they are now all sleeping in.. So funny. I remember I used to do that. My mom used to buy pajamas that were a princess theme and I could wear them for longer.

Pierre is such a good dancer..LOL

This video is of pierre practicing to go to homecoming. It captures his spirt completely. He is so funny!!

He found these glasses on the kitchen counter and thought they were so funny. The kids wear them around to play SPY, he just wore them to be funny...and boy was he.

Also in the news, I went to pick potatoes, Pumpkins, squash and butternut squash at my mom's. She is so fun, and Little man had a great time playing in the sandbox with his cousin.

Karate Kids...

My kids take Karate and it is so fun. They are learning discipline and how to listen to thier teachers... Want to see??

It is so funny to me that the kids like this class so much. I tried to put my daughter in Dance and it was a miserable failure...but she loves Karate so much and is getting a little more self confidence too. That is a big plus for her and me.

On Monday I went to the park with some buddies of mine (and buddies of the kids) and it was so much fun!! I told them I would blog this, and so I had better do that.... So much fun Hanging out with ya!! Thanx, I needed to get out with friends..;)

Homecoming

Yes, A long time ago I went to homecoming..... I wore a green dress that was too big because I had only finished sewing it the night before, and went with a guy I liked as a friend, and I got a pretty flower, and we ran home to change and went to do something fun instead... Why am I telling you this??

Well, Pierre went to homecomming on Saturday with another exchange student from France (she asked him) and we shopped for the perfect outfit. We bought the perfect flowers. We even took the perfect pictures... and then they skipped the dance...completely... and went to boondocks instead!

LOL I laughed so hard. I should have thought of that when I was younger...

To My dear friends...

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and ideas on helping my children. I am more at peace today and I sent two of them off to school with out a hitch (yes, there usually is a hitch).

I mostly have problems with my oldest boy. He tends to get in trouble and not care. Part of it is his maturity level and part of it is that he is so dear to me that I have a hard time believing that he is capable of such things as biting, hitting, throwing tantrums in class and getting in trouble daily on the bus. He is not allowed to ride the bus now, and I found out yesterday that it was because he bit another child on the leg.... and left a bruise. YIKES!! I can not imagine how the mom of the other child feels right now. She is probably driving her child to school too. I would.

That is why I freaked out and started thinking of WHY??? So, thank you, I will do somethings differently and keep some things the same. It is nice to know that I have such awesome friends, who are incredible moms, and give great advise, and think I am great too!!

I LOVE YOU GALS!!!

What do you do when your kid is a brat???

What do you do when your kid is a brat???Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat...Blaming the child is a lie and a shame, we know exactly who's to blame.... The Mother and the Father.... Oompa Loompa Doopity doo....

We have a few brats at our house these days and I am having a hard time pointing the finger of blame at myself...I am sure it is somewhat my doing, but I am just doing the best I can ..without being sent to social services.

I tend to work more while they are at school than I do in the summer and I confess I get more aggitated with them than I do in the summer, but seriously...do they have to scream and shout 98 percent of the time that they are home?? I hate it, and that is being kind.

I am sure you have all sorts of classes for me to sign up for, but I really am just venting...don't tell me to take a class, I already have taken several and to no avail. The last class I took with my Mom and she was so good and it lasted about four classes for me and then I thought I was waisting time here in this great class (which it was) when I could be doing something way more fun and make myself a fun mom instead of a tired mom who sat in a class all day dicovering what mistakes I have made and why...and beating myself up for it...

I have wonderful children, I really do. They are amazing and fun and happy and hiarious all summer long. Once school starts, all the demons come out and posess them in horrible ways. I am just baffeled at why this is... If it is truly the parents fault then why are my kids so good without all the school?? When it is just me and my hubby, they are so fun. Ponder this little ones and tell me your ideas. (please don't tell me to take a class or I will scream!!)

and spanking them is out of the question for me...
