Just a Freakin Visit

This weekend, I had my first non-family visitor. My friend Lori and her son Xander came and hung out with us.  Xander is three and is going through a phase where he likes to say freakin a lot.  It cracks me up, freakin dog, freakin house, freakin awesome.  Any way it was so nice to see them and get to run around with them.  Jason watched the kids while we went to the movies (I know he is a sweetie) and also while I was out eating frozen yogurt (at my new favorite place Kiwi Loco) and shopping with Lori and her family.  Lori got an iPad for her birthday, so she let the kids play with it, and of coarse they fought over it like crazy.  Xander is amazing on it he can do anything with it, if Lori didn't have a password he would be downloading Apps. It is pretty cool though, even cooler was seeing Lori!

Decoration

Last weekend my parent decided to take a fun mini vacation to Salt Lake City, they went to Conference, picked out some carpet, and the most importantly they went to IKEA (okay maybe not most important).  Any way on their way back they decided to take a long detour to come and see us.  I was super excited because I don't get many visitors.  They brought me a bunch of stuff from IKEA that I wanted for Elleree for Christmas and they got me a surprise.  My mom is so funny, we are so much alike that she picks stuff out that I wanted, but was not going to get because it would just be more money.  So she got me this decoration thingy that I didn't even tell her I liked, but I love it.  It is officially my only decoration, but it works perfect for my new pictures of my kids that are adorable.  Check it out!

Bad Day

I am having a really bad day. Elleree and Truman would not quit fighting while I was paying bills, and paying bill sucks as it is.  When I was done paying them it was time to get lunch for the kids.  Of coarse I have to make two different meals because I am a short order cook.  When I was done Truman informs me that Elleree needs her diaper changed.  Okay that is and under statement.  There was poop everywhere, two piles on my floor (I have pictures but Allison said she would disown me if I put them on), all up her back and on her knees and socks.  One of those moments when you wish you were not the mom.  I screamed and then picked Elleree up and put her in the shower to clean her off.

Best part: when she took her pull-up off one leg and kicked it off the other spraying poop all over the bathtub. 

I then had to run Truman to the bus stop, leaving my house a poopy mess.  Have I mentioned I'm pregnant?  Just thought I let you know.  Anyway how do you clean up poop with out a carpet cleaner?  I don't know the best you can.

Next I decided (because I am an awesome mom) to make a big giant cookie for my kids for dessert tonight.  We are having homemade pizza and I thought it would be fun to have a big pizza cookie too.  Yeah I started making it and realized that I have no more Baking Soda (having used it all on the poop thing earlier).  I decided to make Dillon go to our neighbors house (who we have never met) to get me a teaspoon of baking soda.  Dough made I put it in the pizza pan, turns out our pan is a 12 inch not 14 inch who new.  This is what my cookie looked like when I first started smelling something burning

And here is what it looked like when the time was up and it was supposed to be ready.  Cookie anyone?




 Bonus: now my house smells like smoke instead of poop.  Remind me to never try and be a good mom again!
