My Final 3!

I used to be able to talk about this at work, but now that I am home with my 2 boys they are not very interested:) I am a huge survivor fan, and if you missed last night it was a GOOD one. As like every season it is hard to stay true at the first of the game, because you don't really care what happens, but now we are to the point in the game where you have your favorites and it is fun to watch the game go!!! Sugar and Bob made a move together last night (the greatest move ever at least the most entertaining move ever) and I never would have thought they would play the game together. Anyway here are my top three in order of how I would like them to win the million: Bob, Matty, and Sugar.



Just watching the show I do think it could be a possibility that it could end up this way, but watching the extras has made me a little unsure. All I know is that if it does end up this way I will be watching next season for sure!!!

I just wanted to do something fun:)

So I have been craving cookie dough for a long long time, but have had a hard time justifying making cookie dough just to eat it. Well yesterday I thought what the heck we are going to do it today! Well I got the boys up to the counter and we all took turns adding ingredients (even the eggs). It was great everyone loved it and believe it or not there was not a huge mess by the time all the stuff was mixing. The time came for the best part to lick the beaters. We gave them to the boys and they loved it. SEE

So after the beaters we moved to spoons. Apparently not a good move for my children. I think Parker may have had two spoonfuls when he climbed off his chair with a little bit of a sick look on his face. Things did not go as well with Normy. He had one spoonful and before that was gone he had to climb off his chair and "choke" in the toilet. The "choke" comes from Parker having his sensitive gag reflex so when Parker chokes he pukes so Normy knowing what to do when he fells a "choke" coming on we owe to Parker puking so much. At least that good has come from dealing with so much puke:)

MY GRANDAD

My grandad moved on from this life yesterday, but I am not doing this so people will feel sorry for me. I want to take this chance to write down the things that I remember and love about MY GRANDAD. Probably one of my biggest memories is that he was always ready to trade you what you had in your pocket for what he had in his. He would even love it if it worked out in his favor. He is part of the reason the smell of coffee brings happy memories to me. It comes from the many very anticipated sleepovers that I would get each summer as a child. I would love to sit out on his driveway in the evening so we could talk to the neighbors that would walk by. He was one of the best ticklers that I ever knew. I have very vivid memories finding him cactus for his cactus garden. It was always fun to bird watch with him even if it was just from the kitchen table into the backyard. There were so many different kinds of birds to see. I will always love and miss my Grandad but now I KNOW that he knows how much he means to me:)

This is why I + my Normy

The other night we were having dinner (this dinner was a pretty good dinner for the Morrill family it consisted of all the major food groups)and Parker was doing his usual complaining about not liking any of the food. Parker has never been a good eater:( Normy will try anything and usually like it. This night was no different except for he tried it and then said everything in this dinner is BA-LICIOUS. I really needed something like that it made me smile all the way through:) Sorry about no picture for a while, but I lost my camera, have found it again so stand by!

I really do + my Normy.......but

I need an outlet and I figure this is better then the alternative:) It all starts with everyone playing downstairs and I needed to go through some things so I was downstairs with everyone and labeling the bins I had just gone through. I had just barely marked one bin and was ready to mark an other when I could not find my SHARPIE. Previous experiences have shown me this is not a good thing so I start to look for my marker, and I notice Normy is missing. As I am walking upstairs to find my precious Normy I notice that the walls have been tagged. Now I am upset because we have talked about this and he knows it is not right, but think this is not tooooo bad I could clean it up pretty fast, but as I am walking to his bedroom I notice it in the hall way both sides. Madder but still thinking we will make it through. I do find Normy in his room coloring on paper, but I do take the marker from him and tell him they are mommy's markers and not for him to use. Thinking he has learned his lesson I go to get the magic eraser in the back of my house above my washing machine and then I see it my half wall railing covered in blue sharpie. LOST IT! Luckily I had already talked to Normy so I didn't feel the need to go back and talk to him or who knows where I would be righting this post from. While I am cleaning up Normy is begging for a drink. The dishes in the dish washer are clean and I tell him to get a cup out of there and get his own drink. Not to long after I have told Normy to get his own drink he comes to me with the lid to a water bottle and you can tell he doesn't want to talk to me because I am so stinking mad. Finally Normy tells me that his water bottle is stuck and I am thinking in the dish washer so I tell him to figure out something else to drink out of, but where the water bottle was really stuck was in the fridge over flowing with water. Once again we have been through this before so Normy gets some towels and cleans up the mess. So back to the marker three magic erasers and a bottle of Clorox wipes later I pretty much have the marker cleaned up, so I decide to go back to labeling my bins. I get downstairs just in time to see Normy drop his pants to potty on the basement floor. DOES HE EVER LISTEN TO ANYTHING. We have gone through this before pee goes in the potty. For this last instance luckily Eric was home and could deal with it because I had nothing left. I hope if anything you can get a laugh out of this and appreciate how non Normy your child is:) I do LOVE my Normy and would not change him for the world I just wish I understood where some of this is coming from.
