Catalina's punishment!

Catalina decided that she did not want to finish her dinner to night, and tried to "sneak" it in to the sink with out me noticing...  She did not succeed.  She then tried to lie and say that she did not "throw away" her food...  After she admitted that she had thrown her food away, I asked her what she thought her punishment should be...  Her answers cracked me up (so hard not to laugh at her)... 

Answer number 1 ~ "Swat my butt!"
Answer number 2 ~ "Tie me up!"
Answer number 3 ~ "Bite my teeth!"

At this point I had to stop and talk to her again about this being a serious mater, and that I was looking for a serious answer...

Answer number 4 ~"Make me eat more ham."  (That had been what she had thrown away). To which I responded that that might work... I then suggested that maybe she would have to go with out snack tonight.  She responded with "But you said I could eat more ham for my punishment!"

We talked briefly with Daddy, and he agreed that her punishment should be no snack.  I told Cat that she would not get snack tonight (expecting a fit from her) and she quickly said "All right!" And ran off to play!

A big kid now!

Myra wont stop growing!  I know that that is a good thing, but it still makes me a little sad!  We decided to move her out of her crib today.  She climbs in and out of it as she pleases, so we figured we might as well move her up to a "real" bed...  But we thought we'd start slowly!  And since Myra insists on feeding herself, we gave in and borrowed a high chair (of sorts) for her to use.  I am hoping that she will stay in "HER" seat, instead of leaving a trail of food everywhere she goes.  Here's hoping!

Cat has been at it again!  Here are a few of my favorite!

Concerts! Concerts! Concerts!

'Tis the season to by busy! Falalalala la la la la!  I guess that is what we should expect with 6 kids, each with extra activities!  As of last night we had been to 4 choir concerts in 10 days!  And this week to come has a band concert, another choir talent show (both on Tuesday night), Josh Jr and Josh Sr. are suppose to go caroling on Tuesday with mutual, and Ben and I are suppose to go caroling Wednesday with Cub Scouts...  Friday night I have a baby shower to go to, and Saturday morning Josh Jr. has a piano recital...  And to top it all off, Josh want to throw in a party for our friends on Saturday evening!!!  I think we are crazy!!!  But hey, busy is good right???  So come on by Saturday evening for some fun...  Why not?  Crazy is good!

Love that kid!

Myra LOVES shoes!  Especially those that are not hers!

Addictions!

I am the first to admit that I am addicted!  I can not help myself.  I here call now, post now, guess now, etc. and I have got to try!  I really should seek help on this, but I'm not to that point yet.  In case you haven't heard, I won again today!  I know you are thinking "Didn't you just post last week about going to a play you won tickets too???"  And you would be right.  I did. See what I mean by being addicted?  I can't help myself.  Today I won $50 towards dinner at an "fancy" restaurant (and by fancy I mean EXPENSIVE)!  But the catch was, that you had to use it TONIGHT!  I knew when I entered to win the $50 that Josh and I could not go tonight.  Ben had a choir concert (great job tonight Ben) at 6:30...  The earliest we could possibly go to dinner was 5pm and the latest was 8pm...  The restaurant was a good 45 minutes away...  I figured that there was NO way for us to go, but I still had to try to see if I could win...  And sure enough I did!  In being picked, I had 30 minutes to respond or they would pick someone else...  I responded and asked if I could give it to someone else...  The restaurant said yes, so I had to find someone else to go (can't let $50 go to waste)...  I made several calls, and sent several texts, and finally posted it to Facebook.  Friends of ours got to go on a nice date night tonight, and I still got the "high" from winning!  I really love to win!....  Maybe I need to get some help...

Advent Calender

Myra discovered the joy of Advent Calenders tonight...  Her response was "Momma more!!!"
