Eyelash catastrophe

So I got these beautiful 'eyelash extensions' I found a groupon, always wanted to try it! SO fun! 

Here they are, ah, so fun. 

I naturally have pretty dark and long lashes. Only people that knew me really well noticed when I got them (mom & Lindsay). Everyone else just thought it was mascara or my normal. 

Anyways when I got the flu they were bugging me. I don't wear a lot of makeup so when I'm sick I just like to be 'bare' so I read online how to remove them. (You're supposed to get them to remove them....)

Let's just say IT did not go well. Almost all my natural lashes fell out.

One eye has more then the other left....they are all super short and all the 'baby eyelashes' (excuse the bags under my eyes) I call them 'no sick days for moms bags' it's tragic but true. 

From atraught on I really look 'eyelash bald' hahaha

There is a point to this...

I bought an 'eyelash serum' I'm going to take an 'after' picture and see if it works!

Cheers to growing my lashes back...and hopefully it not taking as painfully longs.

Sick lil fam

This past week we have all been sick.

I've had an unfortunate discovery.

Ever get a toddler to blow their nose while peeing on the potty? Don't do it if you haven't...scary times friends, scary times...

Let's just say.

Pee. Everywhere.

I laughed.

There may have been tears.

Then more laughter.

Somehow I think my parenthood journey has a lot more laughing till I cry then the average parent. Ha ha!

Beckham is a doctor

Beckham has been sick. Started off with aches, chills, sweats. Then turned into more of a traditional cold/cough/ear thing. {poor guy eh}

Today he came to me. 

'I don't feel good mommy'

I asked him

'Whats doesn't feel good'

He said

'My ears are ouchy'

I said 

'Would you like some medicine?'

He replied 

'No medicine, I make it better.'

I questioned

'How?'

He stated

'I put water in my Lego, put water in my ear, then all better'

I paused

'Did it help?'

He said

'No.'

I said

'Would you like some medicine?'

He said 

'Yes please, water doesn't make feel better.'

Oh my heart 

This is him showing me how he was putting water in his ear with his big Lego. Yes there is water in the Lego, no I wasn't aware of it during the conversation.

Cutlery!

Sooooo....

Since we got married 8+ years ago we had been using miss matched hand me down cutlery. 

Nothing wrong with hand me down cutlery. Buttttt seriously NONE of it matched it was 3 different 'sets' bahaha. 

We took the plunge.

Makes me feel like a grown up.

We have enough new cutlery now for 20 people...

Party at the converse house!

Preschool 2014/2015

Commence sobbing. 

I'm going to miss my Mornings with my monkeys 

While I was sobbing I did what I do best...look at old pictures 

Oh my lanta, my firecracker baby is not a baby (I'm still calling her my baby though, until she tells me it's embarrassing)...she's gotten SO big!

Such a fun age, but why it hurts when it feels like they are growing up to fast I'll never know why but it does, it really does. I just wanna wake them up from their nap and smooch and cuddle them... HAHA jokes I would never wake a sleeping babe!!

Things I've noticed

The thing about summer is I jump out of bed all warm and fuzzy. The thing about fall is it's cooler so I can hardly bring myself out of the covers without my heart sinking. Oh how I miss the heat heat hear of hot summer days already.

Conversations with B

We took the kids to bike to the park this evening. It was a 'trial run' two kids on a bike sort of deal. I needed to evaluate if it would be safe for me to take them solo on their bikes to preschool. It was a lil hairy at times-the jury is still out on if it is safe or not. 

I walked back with beckham and Brent walked back with Audrey. 

Our chats went like this

'You like my caterpillar mommy?' (He is saying this while riding his bike, while holding a caterpillar)

'Ya bud he's super cool'

'You wanna hold it mommy?'

'Thats ok, I'm good I'll just look at him from here'

'Mommy POOP! POOP mommy'

*since he's not quite 3 I assumed the worse...maybe a sneak attack diarhea fart!*

'Do you have to poop?'

'Mommy the caterpillar is pooping!!!!!'

***laughter***

'Mommy does it have a bum'

'Eveeything living has a bum bud'

'Does it fart?'

*snicker snicker laughter*

'Maybe it does, maybe just a quite one'

'Does it's fart stick?'

'They might stink but maybe you have to be really close to smell it'

**beckham puts nose to caterpillar**

'Ewwwww it farted'

Laughter laughter laughter

Life with boys.
