Gone for 8 short days and what happens? Aunt Allie plays
food cop and now....Owen won't eat anything!!!
Let me back up...Aunt Allie was
WONDERFUL and watched the boys for us while we were on our cruise. What we didn't know, was that she was introducing a
"New Rule", said Owen, with the boys...you must try one new food or ELSE...(ok, I added that part, but the only person more stubborn than me is her!!) All the boys managed to do well at this
"New Rule" except Owen...who doesn't eat as it is...She was Sooooo mean, a
BITE of a carrot OR a
BITE of an apple...hard core isn't she?!?! Well not knowing that she meant business, Owen gave her a run for her money and well I'm happy to report after
throwing up from crying...1 point goes to Aunt Allie...next night,
chicken and rice or no playing at Aunt Nat's. 2 points now on Aunt Allies side...OH NO...the
Cucumber...again, point for Aunt Allie...
Now, fast forward two weeks...Owen is sleeping over at Aunt Annie's house...and what is for dinner, something he
DOESN'T"T LIKE, "My mom said I don't have to try something new!"(btw I never said that nor will I !!! )...with a panic in his voice... but unlike Aunt Allie, Aunt Annie gave in and he ate a Chocolate Chip Muffin instead...now for Owen that's like 10 points for Aunt Annie but in a GOOD WAY!! :D
I should have you know that this
"NEW RULE" was already a rule at our home Owen just didn't think his aunt could be so hard core...Like his
mean mother!!! (but hey, were sisters and well...we learned from the best, Thanks Dad!) So, the other night Owen
REFUSED to eat anything that wasn't drenched in chocolate and after a 2 hour stand off, this is where I found him...
when he woke up he told me that "I made him go to bed without food in his tummy!"...I quickly reminded him that he
CHOOSE to go to bed with out eating...Then no joke, 2 seconds later he was fighting me again because I would not let him eat 4 cookies for breakfast...guess
I need to start locking the door when I eat
MY breakfast :D!!
The day before school starts up is one of my MOST FAVORITE day's of the year...2 reasons.
when he woke up he told me that "I made him go to bed without food in his tummy!"...I quickly reminded him that he CHOOSE to go to bed with out eating...Then no joke, 2 seconds later he was fighting me again because I would not let him eat 4 cookies for breakfast...guess I need to start locking the door when I eat MY breakfast :D!!
We learned something quite amazing while at one of our ports in Mazatlan: they don't own lawn mowers, they use hedge trimmers...ahhh, no wonder they seek to come to America so badly, I would too...it takes all fricken' day to cut one patch of grass...Now Baker can't complain!!
Another A-MAZING surprise was after one dinner we came back to the cabin and I found this...usually this is my doing but not this time...We were on this trip to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary...Mike had the room all decorated and had chocolate dipped strawberry's waiting for us! So thoughtful. I LOVE him!! He so good to me and I am so IN LOVE with him...more now than I was 15 years ago...possible? YES!
This was a super hot day in May, May 20th to be exact...my anniversary! Mike was home sick, super sick, so I took the boys to the zoo. There was an office party for Mike's work and so I ventured off by my self. Baker was unable to get the spider tattoo off his head for school on that following Monday and so we had to put a major band-aid on his head...(Ummm, who told you NO tattoos Baker? Yep, that would be ME!, But do they listen, NOPE!)
My sweet "O"...I love him to pieces...always will...
Curious how I get the towel to stay on my head the boys found it funny to do the same!! Ya think we need some more girls in the house?
