Preschool and New Endeavors.

Graidy started preschool a couple Thursday's ago which made me feel super duper old. Its just one day a week for two hours. Since they are two year olds its kind of glorified nursery and I have a feeling he might be a little to advanced for it and might get bored. You all know I am usually a little sappy about my kids growing up and not spending enough time with them, etc. But let me tell you, Target is also a glorified experience without a toddler. I felt so free on Thursday having 2 hours to my self to do whatever the hell I wanted. Amazing. I think I might get a pedicure next Thursday.

Every time we'd get him to smile and say cheese we'd take the picture and he'd get back to being distracted by the candy machine. All well, still cute with his "Graidy is Special" hat.

That was Graids new endeavor and now this is mine. I'm officially not going back to work, well technically not going back to work. I won't be returning to work at a dental office, I should say. I had the most amazing opportunity fall into my lap a couple weeks ago. I was really having a nervous break down about returning to work. I loved my job as a Dental Assistant but in all reality I wouldn't be able handle putting my kids in daycare. When I first put G in I cried every day on the way to work for about a month, he was 2, how would I react with a 2 month old? Also its hard to make enough money to make it worth putting two kids in day care.

So... I am going to be a Nanny for the cutest little boy named Kylan. I really lucked into the job and I know the family. It is my Brother Mitch's girlfriend Brooke's nephew. (Try and say that 5 times fast) I only have him every other week for about 60 hours a week. I make almost the same out amount of money working 30 hrs. a week at the dental office and I don't have to pay for child care and I get my kids all day every day! It's really not to hard to add one more two year old into the mix. Graidy and Kylan play really good together and keep each other entertained most of the day. Yesterday was the 4th day we had Kylan and Graidy started to get his nose pushed in a bit when Kylan called me Mamma (which he calls pretty much everyone Mama) Graidy yelled at him and said "No Kylan that is not your Mamma, your Mamma is at work!" That is my Kiley Mommy, not yours, OK!" I feel kind of bad that he went from an only child to practically having 2 siblings in a matter of 2 months. But I've tried to make sure and have one on one time with him every night. We had about a 1/2 hour conversation a couple nights ago that went like this.

"Mom, Dad has toe jam and hairy toes."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, its pretty gross. You need to build a new Iron Man machine because Dad broke the thing that you put your toes in to put on your purple suit." (I'm assuming the machine that Tony Stark suits up in).

"He broke it?" How did Dad break it?

"He sat on it with his bum." His bum had poop on it. He pooped in his underwears. (notice the plural underwear) Teehee Teehee.

Then I just bursted into laughter. His Dad has gross toe jam and poop in his underwears. I also love that you can tell he jumps from one subject to the next just like the Bing commercials with just a key word.

It doesn't matter what the age is boys just think poop is funny.Graidy had an accident last night and Brett couldn't keep a serious face to save his life. "There is a turd in his underwear, Mwahaha." Really?! Can't we just let him know its not good to poop in your pants and be on our way?

I have another exciting endeavor that I am trying to get put together click on this link to see a sneak peak. Lost 'N' Found

Now for Miss Scottie's endeavor. She will be going to Lake Powell for the first time next week. Lets hope she is a water baby just like her brother. The whole family is counting down the seconds until we depart. It will be the last hurrah of the summer. She will be 2 months on Wednesday and she is so so smiley! If you just talk to her for a couple seconds a huge smile appears! She has been smiling since she was 5 weeks which seems so early to me. Graidy didn't get the smiling thing down until after 2 months. She ROLLS over! She is trying to giggle and she jibber jabbers. I have a feeling she might be a loud mouth like her Mamma.

Both kids have proven to get a smile on camera is hard to do. She's been smiling for so long but I haven't been able to get a good shot. Still adorable, right?!

I wish I could write more about Brett. But he just works, works, golfs, works, works, golfs. Yeah, nothing new with him. But I just have to say how much I appreciate my husband. He can work 70 hours a week at his job and still come home and be happy and full of energy for his kids. He really truly is an amazing Daddy and husband. We were talking the other day about how no one ever sees the nasty, gushy, in-love, us. They only see our bikerments (which most say it wouldn't be us with out it) which would probably cause most to believe we wouldn't make it as a couple. But I told him I was going to work on allowing/accepting his affection in front of people because I've come to realize that, that is an amazing quality to have in a husband and I should cherish it.

Any who! Until next time...
