So, What Are YOUR Kids Doing?

Jumping up and down, singing, acting a fool, and naked. I can't expect any less of a 2 1/2 year old. Especially, a weirdo like mine ;)

nope not really....

one of mine (4 year old) is naked screaming at D, her sister to stop calling her name, cause "its getting me in trouble" shes trying to put on her sari from her Auntie and its not going well, I might have to stop typing long enough to wrap her.

The 2 year old, is playing the piano, next to me, giving me a head ache.

the 1 year old, is throwing his toys out of his room systematically, I think he trying to reach the 2 year old. OOOH man there went the crocodile hop game... guess its time to be mommy again.

Let's see.....playing in traffic......running with scissors.

Just kidding she is putting together a craft we got at the craft store. It is a foam princess carriage with horses. I know any minute she will be calling me for help.

Oldest (8) is cleaning my house to earn some extra cash so he can buy some lego Star Wars set.
The girls (6 and 4) are in their swimsuits, youngest is also wearing a batman mask, and they are hand-scrubbing the floor with washcloths. I am not sure why they are wearing swimsuits or scrubbing the floor, but it's just fine with me!!

If I had to guess my oldest(23) is preparing to drink. His house is in the party district of the city. :p

Next (21) is going somewhere where she will either drink and walk home or will not drink and drive the drunks home. She is the good kid, ask her, she will tell you. :p

Genna (10) is probably driving her father nuts! Which he deserves since he sent her to school today without giving her her meds! I know this because she yelled it as soon as I walked in the door. I then asked if their father was on his way to pick them up. Yikes!!

Andy(12) is probably eating dinner acting like he knows no one at the table.

Mine's in the car with his grandmother heading to aikido. I have 3 whole hours to get some work done!

Ahem.

So I'm first making sure that I appropriately procrastinate on that work so adrenaline fueled with fear at only having 2 hours to get 3 hours of work done that I'll burst through it with Jedi like powers! Or rather... I'll get 2.5 hours worth done, and then desperately attempt to get the other half an hour in while I'm supposed to be doing the next thing.

Sometimes I really miss my ADHD meds.

One (4) is outside playing. We are having just the most beeeeaaaautiful day. I'm in a perpetual state of pleasure right now. Apparently she is too, since she's been outside without stop for the past 6 hours.

The other (3) is drawing next to me.

Hey Theresa!
My kids are at school.
Going to get them soon.

Visitors will be here, a bit later!

Both are eating chicken and noodle soup...Sis is sick and little man thinks he is too (but he's not)...

9pm - my girls (8 and 10) are in the basement watching "Treasure Buddies" which we just bought at Walmart, after eating pizza at Jerry's.... ahhhh, Friday night :)

She's "cheerleading" for the mock superbowl game that her after school care program is doing right this very moment. I asked her if any girls were playing in the football game and she said "No, it isn't allowed." I said, "What? Why not?"

She replied: "What girl would want to play smelly ole football anyway, mom?"

Ahem. Right. Ok.

Last night she showed my husband and I the 8 cheers that they've been working on .... sooooo cute.

both of my kids ages 6 and 4 are in bed sleeping :)

My kiddos are sleeping peacefully together on the bottom bunk bed. So cute!

My three year olds are asleep in their room and my seven month old is asleep in her room...peace and quiet, which doesn't happen here often. :)

My youngest (9) is building a fort with a girlfriend in her room.
My middle (13) is playing Xbox, or some equally awful game system, downstairs in the basement with a neighbor boy. I do hear lots of laughing so probably not Halo.
My oldest (23) is serving with the US Peace Corps in Guatemala. Her blog is: http://jaronelizabethreed.blogspot.com/
And I just made dinner...a new twist on an old classic...I layered from bottom up: tomato sauce, browned Italian sausage, sauteed mushrooms and garlic, beef and cheese tortellinis, sauteed green peppers, more tortellinis covered with more sauce...Italian cheeses thrown in between one of layers....it's baking, I'm off to a hot bath b/c I hurt my back....I should probably take a glass of wine with me....will come back and smother the mock lasagna bake thing in more cheese and serve tonight with a simple green salad...then it's movie night for us as hubs has been out of town all week. And I'm beat.

7:22----arguing over the Spiderman glove. Because it goes so well with the rest of their outfits: one in a soldier helmet , shorts, and cowboy boots with a stacker ring on his wrist; one in a cowboy hat with a machine gun and a car. Whatever. :P

Oldest is hanging out with friends (college student, I don't ask).
Middle is cleaning her room.
Youngest is heading to bed.

My youngest (4) is in the tub after peeing all over herself and the floor (*sigh*, did not heed my warnings to go before she had the accident), and my husband just got our oldest (6) in the tub too after her initial defiance and rudeness. Talk occurred about possible taking away of privileges, I am off to see what came of that. I am more amazed at what I am doing - making dinner, cleaning the pee, getting the clean towels from the dryer, hanging up the delicate clothes that have to air dry from the washer, and of course, typing on this site!

At this very moment, my daughter (10) is watching our DVD of School House Rock's "I'm Just a Bill" (or maybe she has Netflix on... not sure which... anyway)... she's sitting in the living room alone watching and singing along about how a bill becomes a law. I must admit, I'm Just a Bill was always one of my favs too. It is a catchy little tune.

My son, 13, is in bed. He is testing for his 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tang Soo Do tomorrow and decided to go to bed early so he will be well rested. The testing takes all day. We live a little over an hour away from the test site, and it begins at 9:00 a.m. They work out and drill and do forms etc all day long (except a break for lunch, and a break to change clothes before the ceremony starts) and open the doors for parents/friends to watch the ceremony around 5:30 pm. When he tested for his First Degree belt, the ceremony lasted until around 8:00 pm.
It is an exhausting day. I hope he gets a decent night's sleep and doesn't toss and turn and let his nerves keep him from sleeping.

My 11 year old just found a broken bowling ball in the street (???) and is cleaning it off.
My 4 year old has bronchitis and is yelling at everyone and watching Spongebob while eating a cereal bar in the living room (only 'cause she's sick) Lol.

My boys are at home with Dad right now while I am at work :( I talked to them just a minute ago and my 7 y/o was feeding his bearded dragon, Apollo, and my 3 y/o was playing with his batman toys (while Daddy is on the couch "resting his eyes" :).

Hi Theresa-

2 just are finishing dinner...one is at a 'spendover' with friends...the others are in college...(or beyond)...and I am SURE they are ALL attending to their respective studies/work on this fine friday night!!

LOL
michele/cat

(Let me know how that movie is if he mentions it!!)

We're making forts and playing hide and seek... daddy's on the roof, CHEATER! LOL!!

My 15 yr old made his high school baseball team and I am so proud I can't stop talking about it!! He is at practice and stays 3 extra hours after school for it and still comes home and asks me if he can help me. A switch has occurred and im seriously enjoying thus responsible young man he is becoming!
my 4 year old is never going to go to sleep it seems and she is a grouchy bear :(

My oldest (3 next month) is running around the living room singing and chasing his brothers around.
My youngests (14 month old twins)- one is walking around the living room with a pillow laughing and dancing. and the other is just trying to duck and cover from the other two.

Gardening with Dad on this beautiful early spring day (while I finish up work).

17yo boy is building a robot with a friend in the downstairs guest room.
15 yo boy is playing xbox (homework and chores completed first, bribery works like a charm).

My oldest (12) is at her BFF's (neighbor friend, sweet girl she has known since babyhood) watching horrible junky TV shows, sleeping over, but she will wander home in 10 minutes to take out her contact lenses and take allergy meds before going back over for the night.

My youngest (10) is out with her cousins at Mall of America for dinner/shopping and back to their house for a sleepover with them.

So DH and I actually have the house to ourselves tonight :)

My daughter (10 years old) is at the end of our street with her friend having a cookie, lemonade, and toy sale to try and earn money for costumes for the talent show. My other two kiddos are making hot chocolate and playing.

Oldest is playing with puppy . . . youngest is hanging out in room having just walked said puppy.

Mom just woke up from a 2-hour much needed nap.

Life is good.

Mine are next to me at their table coloring. It's early afternoon here and they are just up from nap. Family fun night begins when Dad gets home!! This usually entails a long walk, a movie and popcorn on the couch together and then... me vacuuming the popcorn. Then I get a glass of wine. Ha ha.

I think my 15 year old son went back to sleep. LOL Or is on the computer in his room playing games.
Big orthodontist appointment today to remove his soft pallet and jaw bars today (after a year, Yeah!). He actually took a long nap today, popped up earlier and staggered through the house, then went back to his room.

My two boys.. its thier dad's weekend. #3 just called complaining that they have to go to thier grandma's... again ( this happens every weekend they are with their dad) because they are going out... again.

Dinner is done, kitchen is cleaned up and now its down time at our house. My oldest and husband are sitting next/ behind me watching "who do you think you are" and the two youngest are watching cartoons for the next 15 mins before its bedtime routine and bedtime.

Come 8 after the two youngest go to bed, my oldest will curl up ( more than he already is) on our bed and they will watch Ghost Adventures ( even though its a rerun and they have seen EVERY episode) and I will mindlessly play games on Pogo for the hour. Then kick him out of our room and its time to for me to curl up and watch tv for an hour before bedtime.

We just got back from the Blue & Gold banquet. My men walked Grady.

Now all three of them are sitting on the couch watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

OMG! I have been running kids around here and there all night!
My daughter went to the Y with a friend after school to play basketball. On the same run I then dropped my son off at the ski hill so he could ski with a friend. An hour later I went to pick up the girls and bring them to Subway to eat before dropping them off at Volleyball practice. An hour after that I picked up my son and brought him home. Now I have a half hour before I pick up my daughter from practice.
Wheh! Then we are all home for the night, except for my husband who is in Seattle this weekend on business.

driving me crazy and I only have one, thank god she goes to bed soon.

It's 8:20pm....my 7 and 9 y/o daughters are in the family room watching The Chipmunks--the squeakquel (or however it's spelled!) with the lights out and drinking hot cocoa. Thank goodness they didn't ask me to watch it with them!!

Well, it's Saturday afternoon here. My 12 year old is playing his trumpet and my 16 year old is working on an art book.
For their Friday night, the 12 year old was watching tv at home and the 16 year old was at Starbucks with a friend

My 13 is putting the dishes in the diswasher and the 3 year old is distracting her, lol.
We are going to see the same movie your daughter tonight!

4, 6 & 7 yr old are ALL sleeping on a twin bed, they look very uncomfortable but they won't sleep apart

my 21 yr old is away at school too, she is working at a bar and grill til 2am

Grrr....my daughter on a business trip just posted a picture of a margarita that she's drinking while waiting for her plane. She said it's delayed 2 hours. But the flight itself is only about 35 minutes or so! Grrr...Her car is at the airport. WHY do my kids do these things? She NEVER thinks she could get an DUI. She always says she waited enough time. BUT.... She's not a large person.

Sitting at the table eating cheeseburgers and fries because I didn't feel like cooking :)... Okay, that's the babies...

My 3 oldest...one is on the plane back from a business trip, and 2 of them...probably don't want to know. It's FRIDAY.

My 11 year old is asking for this computer....sheesh

Both, 11 & 14, are out front hanging out with a neighborhood friend. For me, well I think you can tell what I'm doing :)

Good question! My oldest, 9, is reading his cartoon bible on his bed, and my youngest, 3, is in the bath.

my 2yr old is coloring while me and my hubby figure out what were eating for dinner ..

Playing with the neighbor and dogs...exciting stuff :)
Have a great weekend Theresa.
xo,
Kimberly

All 5 of mine are in the car with me and the hubby on our way to The Grans house to celebrate my youngest (and only girl) and my MIL's B-days!

Ages: 20, 17, 8, 6, & (come 2morrow) 4!

So: 2 oldest have their headphones on and are watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory on the Laptop and the 3 lil' ones are on their DS's in the backseat!

~Thank goodness for my husband's 'Hot Spot' on his phone...nothing cooler than internet access in the car! Whoop-Whoop!!

I just got done watching the first two episodes of Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race with the oldest and my younger two. The middle boy is taking a shower and now the others are watching The Producers.

Only have a daughter, 5 years old.

She was a pain at dinner and was sneaking into the kitchen for a "treat". She is now in her room cleaning up the hissy fit mess she made this afternoon when she got scolded for trying to let the cats outside to play with her.
