Why is it that 2-3 weeks in blog world seems like 2-3 years?
It hasn't really been
that
long since I've blogged.
It's been 2 weeks. It feels like an eternity.
And then a week or so before that... I think.
I'm not really anti blog. I'm anti computer?? Possibly anti social?
But I've missed all my "sweet friends" here in blog land.
I have a lot of "volunteer work" I do on the computer,
so I haven't been able to keep away from it entirely... unfortunately!
But I've had plenty of good conversations the past 3 weeks to keep me busy.
I'm not entirely back, just....hmmmm... touching base? Taking baby, baby, baby steps...ohhhh...
Hopefully you enjoy these real life conversations I've had lately with my 3 babies...
These are the conversations and things that keep me busy..."otherwise!"
I always like to keep a record of the odd conversations I have with my kids that make me
chuckle to myself. Usually I let all my facebook friends in on them...
and usually they are enjoyed by all.
The scenario~ Jada has been sucking on those 2 fingers since she was six months old.
The Conversation~
Me: Get you're fingers out of your mouth, girl."
She shook her head no.
She shook her head no.
Jada: It's my fingers Mommy. You dont tell where my
fingers wanna go.
It's a fun place in my mouth and my fingers wanna go
there. See look!
~and proceeded to show me her fingers dancing around
on her tongue~
SO. WEIRD.
The Scenario~Jada BUGGING us non-stop to go buy crap from the dollar store
The Conversation~
Jada: Mom can you plllleaaassse take me to the dollar store? I needa get
stuff for me
and Wesley's party. I need balloons and candy and a
skeleton head and a dragon.
Me: What party?
The Scenario~Random, She's three. And cute. What can I say?
The Conversation~
Leila: Mom are you a girl superhero?
Me: No
Leila: Yes you am.
Me: I am? ok.
Leila: Yay! I'm telling Jada you a girl superhero!
Me: No
Leila: Yes you am.
Me: I am? ok.
Leila: Yay! I'm telling Jada you a girl superhero!
The Scenario ~Leila sniffing my cheek
The Conversation~
Leila: Ewwwww. You smell like stink. You gotta take a bath!
Me: I took a shower today.
Leila: Mmmmm you smell good!
Me: I took a shower today.
Leila: Mmmmm you smell good!
Ever since he was around the age of 4, people would stop me everywhere...
or I'd hear them whispering "Hey, he looks like that kid from home alone."
Wesley actually acts like him too...IN THAT MOVIE!
The attitude. The complaining. The boredom. ALL OF IT!
But I love him. Of course.
The Scenario~Wesley studying up non-stop online preparing for our trip to Six Flags last week.
The Conversation~
Wesley: When I go to theme parks, its like I make a movie in my head.
Like, for example,
when I go on the American Eagle I imagine I'm forced
into a different dimension and a
giant eagle is chasing me.
Me: oh yeah?
Wes: mmmmm hmmmmm
Me: oh yeah?
Wes: mmmmm hmmmmm
The Scenario: Leaving Six Flags later that week in tears.
The Conversation~
Wesley: I wish Six Flags was my home. All I have is my dog and my tv and my computer
and DS and outside." ( as if the rest of the kids in the world have their own six flags)
Me: You forgot your Wii and Netflix in your room.
(That conversation went over real well, by the way)
Thanks for stopping by! Seriously!
And Thanks SO much to everyone who has left me encouraging notes!
I'm looking forward to coming back to blogging "full time" soon!

I love conversations with children! Those are awesome. Kids are so random and honest. <3 that!
So darn cute!
Makes me miss when I was a full time babysitter during university. The little boys I kept said amazing and inspiring things! Well, they were just plum amazing really! Little boxes of truth and wisdom.
Kids are so refreshing, honest, and just plain beautiful. I love that you like to keep up with the conversations you have with your babies and that you share them too. (:
I have missed your posts!! Love the conversations that are so random with kids! Mine keep me laughing too. By the way, your kids are so adorable!
I took a forced blogging break without internet for ONE week and it sucked butt. definitely happy to see you checking back in and totally humored by your goober children =)
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I just wanted to let you know that you do not need an SLR camera to take good pictures. The park pictures were taken with an SLR, but this post was taken with an old Kodak point and shoot {http://www.growingupanjwife.com/2012/07/on-way-to-cape-may.html}
i go into anti-computer moods every once in a while. i've been in one the last week...it was nice i must say.
and thanks for sharing the kiddo conversations. they're some of my favorite things to read. i can't wait to see what my kids say to me one day...i'll absolutely have to share. i wish i could share conversations from students, because sometimes those are just as funny!
Those are some great quotes. Especially Jada and her fingers, ha ha "you don't tell my fingers where to go" Seriously, that is so funny. I love the things that children say, it's one of my all time favorite things about going back through old blogs, to read some quotes from my kiddos. Glad to see a baby step ;)
Just found your blog, and I'm loving it. Your kids are adorable! My daughter is going to be like Jada and her fingers...she sucks on her knuckle. Looking fwd to following along.
Stop by and say hello!

Sometimes, a blogging break is necessary. Life gets in the way! I used to blog every day. Then it became every other day. Now I stick with once a week. It works for me. Do what feels comfortable! :)

I am a regular at taking long blog breaks! I get too sucked in if I don't. Haha Love your random conversations with your kiddos. I so wished I had documented more of mine with my kids. Guess its never too late to start! Thanks for the great read :D
Adorable photos, Leila is so cute!
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. You are quite gorgeous yourself!
Hahaha, kids do say the funniest things. What a great idea for a post though, might do this myself sometime soon.
Thanks for visiting my boggy blog. I've added myself to your followers :)
Haa! Too cute! The things kids say! I know what you mean, you take a week or two off you miss so much because everything is pretty much constant and instantaneous. A break, whether intentional or not, is always a good thing!
Yay! You're back-ish. You're kids are so adorable!
Yay! I've missed your posts so much! These cracked me up and oh my, he does look like the kid from Home Alone!

Hahah! This post seriously cracked me up. I'm super interested in what my little one will be like when she's older, and wonder about the strange convos we'll have. She's already getting sassy at 8 months! Haha! And I always feel like missing a few days feels like a few weeks, so I'm right there with ya!
