Sometimes I'm a creeper and I go through my daughter's phone.  I have to admit I do feel like a creeper.  I do feel like I am violating her privacy.  I do feel like it is wrong.  But then I think since it is my responsibility to know what she is doing, who she is talking to, where she is going, etc., then it is my right as a mother to monitor her phone.  Plus, I'm paying for the service and it is a privilege.  See how I justify that??

 

Anyway, I often get cracked up at the things that I find and I have to forward them to myself for safe keeping. 

 

Case and Point #1: 

This picture makes me smile all over!  These two are in Sadie's room having the time of their lives.  I love Sophie's face and I can hear her laughing just by looking at this picture.  Sadie looks like she just licked a worm, although I'm sure she did not because she won't even touch a worm, and she is probably just making funny faces to make Sophie laugh.  Either way....I love this picture.

 

Case and Point #2:

Sadie taught Molly the duck lips before she could even talk.  She loves to take duck pictures with Molly and there are a million of them.  This one cracks me up because you can barely see Sophie in the background.  I don't even know if Sadie knew she was there.  It is greatness!!

 

Case and Point #3:

This one is quite alarming.  I had to ask Sadie to explain herself on this one.  Imagine my surprise when I was scrolling through her phone and found this one.  When I went to Sadie and asked her about it.  She said....."She wanted me to do it!" 

Why would anyone want their sister to tie their hands behind their back, and tape their mouth, and stick them in their own closet?  It was quite disturbing when I saw this on Sadie's phone.  It was quite hilarious when I showed it to Sophie and she immediately starts belly laughing. 

 

 

Sometimes I take silly pictures too.  Especially when my kids are doing silly things and I can get my phone out in time to capture it. 

 

Case and Point #1:

While shopping at Walmart, I look around and can't find Sophie.  Before I panic, I yell (softly) Sophie's name.  I hear her voice behind me, but I can't see her.  After further inspection, I find her hiding behind the paper towels.  Believe me, this works just as good as under the clothes rack.  Even though I have yet to lose a child, I still panic every time when I think they are right beside me and I turn and can't see them.

Case and Point #2:

Molly is past the age of three.  She is half way potty trained.  When I say half way, I mean that peepee in the potty is no problem.  She will not pee in her pants.  She will not pee in the bed.  But poopoo is a whole different story.  I don't know what her problem is, but believe me when I say we have tried everything!!

I have concocted this  huge story about the ducks in Lake Ladahockie starving because she won't poopoo in the potty.  I have explained to her that when she does it in the potty and flushes it, it goes through the pipes to Lake Ladahockie.  She believes me when I tell her the ducks are sad and hungry.  She doesn't even want to TRY to poopoo in the potty. 

 

But sometimes she accidentally does and it is one big party and celebration when she does.  She is so proud of herself and she yells that the ducks are happy and they aren't hungry anymore!!  She gets whatever she wants for about three hours.  Whatever dress, makeup, snacks, you name it.  She even gets to paint her Daddy's toenails, which she absolutely LOVES!!!  It is all worth it for the rest of the day.  Then we are back to begging and pleading with her when she poops in her panties.  It's a vicious cycle.  The up side is....I have a husband with painted toenails at any given time.  He doesn't even bother to take it off.  This week...they are green.

 

 

Case and Point #3: 

Sometimes I crack myself up.  This was way back from basketball season.  It was playoffs and I couldn't get off work to go.  Sadie sent me this picture.  It was pre-game and they were killing time.  Casey and I were goofing around at the office and we replicated Sadie and Kaden.  My mouth was just a little bit too open, but it is still pretty close.

Case and Point #4: 

This picture is evidence that Sophie is going to be my handful.  Sophie is at Mrs. Verna's and Madison is there too.  They are quite the pair together and sometimes get into things....like trouble.  Madison brought HOT Hues to Mrs. Verna's. (The temporary hair color that is popular right now.)  Sophie had been begging for me to buy her some and I refused.  Sophie knew that I didn't want her coloring her hair.  But obviously, I didn't say anything about Sophie not coloring Molly's hair. 

I went to pick them up after work and Molly's hair is PINK!!  All of it.  Not just hues.  The whole head of her hair!

I could have died.  Sophie knew I was livid.  Molly thought she was beautiful!! 

 

It did wash out. Well, most of it.   It did make my bathtub pink.  Sophie did have to clean the bathtub.  But everyone is still alive and no one has pink hair now. 

My crazy life.  My crazy kids.  I love them dearly and wouldn't trade them for anything!!  I mean.....
Just look at them!!!
