what stinks?

Potty training, that's what.


I try and take a cute picture of Everett in his big boy undies, and all I get is him and his derriere scurrying under the side table to do his "business" in private before I could catch him. Rats!

From the mouth of babes

After ending our prayers last night-


Me: In Jesus' name, Amen.
Everett: Aaaamin.
Everett: Where's Jesus?
Me: In heaven.
Everett: Heaben?
Me: Yes, Heaven.
Everett: Ooooh, He be right back, he went to da store and He be right back, mommy.

We work quick

 A fun little memory, taken before leaving the hospital after the birth of both our children. 

 Look at us, a couple of ramshackle new parents. Totally exhausted, totally naive, and totally in love with our newest addition to our family. {Everett Leo McMullin 1-2-2010}

 We don't waste anytime do we? In and out of the hospital in about 24 hours; I wouldn't call us seasoned pros, but pretty darn close {har, har}. Don't we look bright eyed and bushy tailed? We must have forgotten about the first go-around. We are so happy to have our little prince and now our princess. Life feels pretty darn complete.

cha-cha-cha-changes

A sneak peek at some changes happening at Casa de McMullin!

Oatmeal...

Here is the back story as to why there was an entire container of oatmeal in my bathroom in the first place. I have poison oak, badly, covering about half my body, bad. So, I've heard that oatmeal helps with poison oak, I used it in the shower. As I was getting dressed in our room I heard echoed squeals of delight, I yelled at my husband 'where are the kids'?!? His reply 'in Everett's room playing'.

This is what I found...

                  

Did this little darling commit such a crime alone, or did he have help?

Oh, he had help alright. His partner in crime exiting her hiding place, the shower.

 BUSTED!!!

wordless wednesday: chubadub

I'm one minivan short of being a total MOM.

You ever have those days when you wake up and you look around and you think, WOW; I'm a total mom.

You know, when you can't remember if your shirt has baby puke on it before you leave the house, chances are very good, so just roll with it. Customers and Employees at Wal-Mart, have seen worse. If you don't believe me, just type in people of Wal-Mart in your search engine.

When you know all the words to any one of the following theme songs: Bubble Guppies, The Fresh Beat Band,Caillou,Team Umizoomi, Dora the Explorer, The Wonder Pets, and/or The Backyardigans.

When your shirt now doubles as a klennex, burp cloth, and towel.


Examining poopy diapers has become second nature.

When you're O.K. with this adorning your car:

At least it's not a 'baby on board' sticker, right!?!, RIGHT?!? O.K. I know.

When your house looks like this on most days that end in Y.(I'm mildly embarrassed to put this on my blog, but for dramatic effect it needed to be done, please do not call Child services I swear I cleaned it after I posted this!).











Have I mentioned that even on my worst day I still LOVE being a total mom. This is exactly where the Lord wants me in my life and I'm more than happy to oblige Him. 

Especially for these two little rascals.


Do YOU have any other things that make you a total MOM?
