More Adventures of Emma!!!

Okay so I occasionally give Emma and Gage little bowls full of milk chocolate morsels (you know, chocolate chips!). Its like a treat....they seem to love it and Emma (like her dad and Grandma Kim) is a "chocoholic". So on Sunday, she and Gage were sharing a bowl.....then Gage starts laughing; its more like a screaming laugh - I think he wanted me to pay attention. So I go into the living room and there she is. Chocolate is smeared all over her face (which is common, for her) but what I notice is that there is chocolate dripping out of her nose!!! So I asked Gage what the deal is and he is still laughing and he says "Emma shoved a chip up her nose!" Well that explains the brown drip doesn't it??? So I start screaming for Bill. I am not sure if I should try to get it out or if I should just wait for it to melt out?? Luckily Bill seems to have all the answers and he convinces Emma to blow her nose! Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that......eventually it would have come to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaah

Pottery with the Young Women!

We did pottery at Sheila's for Young Women in Excellence! It was a great success!!! We did it as a stake this year and I have to say, our ward's presentation was the very best! I took pictures of the pot I made but I will have to download it later!

Karma Sucks!!!!!

Okay so a week ago, my friend Mandy posts on her blog about being 2 inches under water! Her kids were in the bathtub and tahdah there is water everywhere!!! I laughed my head off at that blog - its one of the funniest things I ever read (sorry Mandy!) mostly because it was her and not me but I have kids too so I can relate right???? NOT SO MUCH!!!! This evening Emma got into the bathroom - which usually we leave the door closed because she's been

1. locking herself in (guess who gets to squeeze through the vent in Gage's room to reach the lock on the bathroom door????)
2. wasting all my pump soap all over her body, clothes, sink etc!

So anyways I was downstairs doing another load of laundry and Bill was in the living room reading Eclipse (just about to the big fight with the newborns) and I come upstairs and I hear running water. I thought it was kind of strange but I carried on trying to get the kids in their beds and what do you know??? I pass the bathroom - the door is OPEN and there is about 2 inches of water on the floor and the faucet is running with the plug in the sink!!! Worse yet, I cannot turn off the faucet.....perhaps I was panicking but I couldn't get it off. So I start screaming hysterically for Bill to come; he comes flying through and starts asking questions........yes the water is STILL RUNNING. "Who left the door open?, who turned the water on?, why is the water still on?" blah, blah, blah!!! So I am yelling at him that I can't get it off!!!!!! Luckily, Bill is a lot more level headed than I am in a crisis so he gets the water turned off and runs downstairs for a load of towels (bless his heart - this is why I married him!!!!) he washed just the other day!!!! Of course he left me to clean the mess myself (he's back on Eclipse) but the towels thing bought him a pass. Emma denies knowing anything about this matter and Gage keeps saying things like "I wonder who left the water on in the bathroom?" Anyways, I didn't take any photos - it really isn't funny and let this be a lesson to all of us.......karma sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stomach Flu!!!!!!!

So Emma & I had the stomach flu this weekend! It started Friday morning about 4am with Emma.....She refused to throw up in a bowl at first and it would be all over her body - then she would lay with her stomach on my bed - yeah, gross huh??? Its no wonder I started throwing up around 8am.....it continued on for a few hours and then I felt good enough (?) to go to walmart. Normally I would never had gone in that condition but we were COMPLETELY out of diapers and a few other necessities so I really had to go. I thought I was just a little weak really but then Saturday morning about 2AM it started again! just for me this time....but it was more frequent and left me doing nothing on Saturday. Luckily, Bill took the kids to Wallsburg and I spent the day in bed...........but guess who read Twilight??? yep - Bill!!! he is mildly entertained - so he says. Secretly, I think he LOVES it!!! hahahahah as a matter of fact, he is just now picking up Ashleigh's copy of New Moon to read. I am hoping he will feel free to take me to the movie!!!!! Which opens in 11 days!!!!
