It has been a while since I have had a chance to post, so this may be a long one. My previous post was a portrait of the Valentine's Day card that I had sent out. I don't think they will make them to you in time though, so you will probably get them a few days after Valentine's Day. Sorry. Just didn't have a chance to make them sooner to make it b/f in the mail. We all were sick last week. All were different days, but all were sick. Even Jacob! Poor little guy. So, another reason no posts last week. Jacob is still just scooting, but I think he is getting really close to crawling. I am often finding him in the crawling position, but then he reverts back to being on his belly and scooting. So, I think its only a matter of time before he figures it out. Preston tries to show him how to do it. Its really cute to watch. Preston and Emily both got a whoopie cushion in the mail from Aunt Beef the other day. They had such a good time with it. Giggling like crazy! Got a couple of Videos on my phone, will see if they will upload to here. (Got one loaded - it took forever - so not going to load the second one right now). I might have to post them to facebook though. Will see. I ended up having to take more toys away from the kids. They still did not clean their rooms. So, I went in when Dean took them to the store to buy my Birthday Present (I know - bad :( - but the only time I could get in there to do it w/o them interfering), and picked up any toys they had left in the floor. I put them all in the garage. Told them they could earn them back by keeping what little they had left picked up. They still don't pick up after themselves. Its getting very frustrating to say the least. But hopefully, can get them to clean up this weekend. Emily's has a few new things she has started to say - "Are - you - serious?", OH - MY - GOSH!, and "Are you Kidding Me"?. She is such a silly girl. She uses the Are you Serious a lot when I ask her to do something. The Oh My Gosh is when she wants me to come upstairs or to her room to see something. "OH MY GOSH, somebodies getting married - come see". It is her Barbie movie, Barbie is getting married. I always see on TV where women say they started planning their wedding when they where a little girl, but never really understood that. Now, I see it first hand. She is so into wedding right now. Preston has been super sweet to me this past week. He told me "You are the best momma any kid could ever have". He could have just left it there, I was feeling really good after hearing that - then he has to add, "I am trying to be nice because you are sick". Well, at least I got the compliment, even if it was subjective. Still was nice to hear. A lot better than the "Your mean", and the "I don't like you" that I hear so often from Emily now days. I know she just says it to upset me b/c the very next minute she is blowing me kisses. Just wish she would't say it anymore. Preston is really into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and learning about Spiders right now. He told me he wanted to pretend the book we were reading of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid was his diary. So, I got him a notebook for him to use as his own diary. Will give to him on Valentine's Day as his Vday gift. I didn't get him an actual diary, they were really expensive. I hope he doesn't mind. As for the Spiders, every book he has checked out from the library this month and last month have all been about Spiders. He is really into reading about them (or having me read them to him - he keeps picking books that are outside of his grade level). I just love that I am Jacob's security blanket. Every time I pick him up, in pops the thumb in his mouth and the other hand grabs a strand of my hair. I just love it. My little cutie pie! Need to set up Valentine's Day pics, haven't done that yet. I still have to get Preston something to wear. Everybody has something but him. There just isn't anything that is cute for older boys. I guess now is when they start to be embarrassed about that sort of stuff. He hasn't yet, so I am glad. He still will wear whatever to school and go to school w/o brushing his hair. I ask him to brush his hair every morning, but doesn't get done most days. Had our movie night last night, Emily picked out some movie about a moon princess. It was ok. Last weeks movie was Kung Fu Panda 2 - that one was pretty cute. There was a part where the panda's mom had to leave him to keep him safe when he was a baby, and that made Preston tear up. He is such a sweetheart. Such a sensitive little boy. They really like the concession stand, so a glad we do it every Friday too.
