My kids are still doing funny/embarrassing/crazy/naughty/unbelievable things, but this month I wasn't as good about writing them down. And one thing i know for sure: if it doesn't get written down, it doesn't get remembered. This used to all be for documentation and scrapbooking sake, now it's because I have Mom Brain.
-Rantings of a tired mom with a baby still not sleeping through the night: Why was my mom ever mad when I slept in as a teenager? Think of it as an IOU for the years of sleep she wasn't getting when I was little. Dang daylight savings. Fall back sounds good for one day then it's just your kids waking up earlier.
-A lot of people ask how the kids are with the baby and especially how Nolan is. Nolan can be so aggressive and physical that is really is such a wonder that he is SO incredibly sweet with Maverick. Never once has there been an issue of not "being soft" with the baby. Nolan is an amazing big brother and he totally understands this little person that we have in our home and he loves Maverick so much.

-Caitlin came over to tattle tale on Nolan and we started talking and I was telling her she needs to get along with her brother. She asked me if I had any brothers and I said "No, I only had sisters. See?You're so lucky... You have TWO brothers!"
She sighed and said, "Yes ...and one of them doesn't share."
-Nolan's new current obsessions: Orange juice-- we literally go through a gallon a week, sometimes faster and mostly because of him. He used to be an avid apple juice drinker but now he is pretty strictly on the OJ and he LOVES it. I like to think it may keep him from getting sick this winter. "spicy stuff"-- including minty things and also carbonated things. Caitlin on the other hand does NOT like spicy things and make it very clear and asks if it is spicy before trying so Nolan has discovered he does like all sort of "spicy things" and make that clear then takes Caitlin' share. Candy canes are a big hit. Also obsessed with gum -- (another "spicy thing") he will stuff like 5 pieces in his mouth before I can stop him. He for sure has a huge wad of gum sitting in his stomach because he doesn't understand the concept of not swallowing it and he really loves it.
-I'm SO excited for Christmas with my kids this year. They are at such fun ages and they are so excited about everything, it's going to be so magical.

Had to snap a picture on my way out the door one day to document my kids and their polarity. Caitlin is all girl in her tutu and ballerina princess world and Nolan is all boy in his cars shirt and cars in hand. They all share a special bond thought and for the most part my kids get along and truly love each other I'm so thankful for that.
#1 Caitlin is an avid colorer. She can color for hours and she loves it. She is really good at it too! She loves for people to color with her and she is very complimentary to anyone's drawings.
#2 Nolan likes celery! A new discovery as of late and the perfect shopping snack. He saw it and yelled "Celery! can we take some home?!" (aka buy it) and anytime your kids asks for celery, you get it. And anytime your kids will actually sit in the cart for the whole shopping trip and chew on some stalks, you feel so thankful.
#3 Nolan decided to apply almost the entire container of hair wax to his hair about 3 minutes before we were supposed to leave for the chiropractor. He insisted it "wasn't too much" as i puled globs out of his hair and tried to wash it out with a washcloth and then comb through (nothing helped). When i told him he gets to wear a hat to the chiropractor guess which one he picked out and insisted on wearing: his dumb Lightning McQueen foam hat from Disney on Ice. Nice.
#4 Typical Nolan.. perched on his horse sneaking something from the counter that he probably shouldn't be having. With "big mickey" close at hand.
#5 He got a tiny scratch on his forehead but it was taking awhile to heal because at night he would mess with it so we finally got him to wear a bandaid and of course the only one he would keep on was this gigantic cars one.
#6 Nolan genuinely loves his horsie. H has named him "Clodie" (mixture between Cody and cloudy we think?) and the name has stuck for awhile now. He takes his horsie on all his greatest adventures.
