Kids

I am sure that every kid has at least one tooth that didn't fall out all on it's own. Jiji has two teeth that way. Her two top front teeth...the last two to come out. Curt helped the first one by headbuting her in the mouth. The second one came out when she was bitting the dog back.

Did I mention the kitten that Uncle Steven got my daughter for an early bday presant? It is just as cute as it could be! And just as naughty! LOL
Well ok not naughty... very playful! It jumps up on my desk and helps me type quite a bit. Never mind that it can't spell to save any of its little nine lives! After a good game of typing we go and wrap ourselvess around the mouse and go to sleep.
Worse is at night when she gets the rips... for those of you that dont know what that is... it is when your cat rips around the house with no purpose other then to terrorize everyone and knock stuff over. We keep her penned in the bathroom with litter box and food and water over night because she has a bad habit of jumping on sleeping kids.. and no matter how funny someone might think that is... it isnt very funny to the kids! lol Well just got back from my little vacation... ohhh ok not JUST..its been a week now. hehe Trav, the kids and I had a great drive to Portland. After we got there we didn't have Jiji anymore... she was more then happy to settle into her new little world at my sisters house.
The rest of the time was spent relaxing and having fun... a little shopping and alot of getting lost! lol

I just got done with helping Jiji with her homework for tonight. For tonight she was suppose to write a little story and draw a picture about what if her pet or stuffed animal could talk. I had a hard time getting her to understand... I think. When I asked her what would she do if her favorite stuffed kitty Shadow could talk she said " I would toss her up in the air and catch her". I told her "But you do that now...what if she could talk? Would you two talk on the phone??" "No," she said..." I would just roll around and play with her" "And talk to her?" "No just play" How simple it seems... I wonder which of us is not understanding.

I.told you just a bit about Jiji before.... now it is Curts turn.
Curt is a loveable, very bright, eating everything in site, spoiled to the core little monster! He is to smart for his own good...and most times to smart for me.

I have never seen a happier little kid... and some of his little habits are precious. Everynight after the sun goes down he likes to go outside with me and say good night to the moon. I hold him and we point out the stars and look for the moon and stand under it for a few minutes. I don't really know why he likes to do it...except that it is good quiet hugging time for us.

I miss Jiji HORRIBLE! ... that was my buddy..we did everything together! She is having the best time up at her Auntie Buddys house though! I wouldn't take that away from her... just have to wait... only 4 more months to go! *sigh*

The kids are doing good... Jiji needs a bit extra help in her school work, geeesh she is hard headed! I wonder where she gets THAT from! lol But we are working on it.

The kids are doing good... Jiji is getting better at her school work... but she still has a bit of a prob with going to school altogether.

Curt is growing so fast! And talking talking TALKING! lol
He hurt his finger today... don't really know how... it had SOMETHING to do with what Jiji did... so you KNOW I wont ever get the total truth on the matter.
But he cried and cried so hard... it near broke my heart. He climbed up onto my lap and cuddled against my shoulder
There is just no better feeling in the world then when my babies need me

Well Curtis must think I am terribly stupid, he is always having to correct me...
I will say something like " Good Morning Sweetie." And he has to remind me that ... " No sweetie.. I Curtis!"
Today we were playing outside and he said "Mom lookie bird!" and I said "oh my goodness" And he tells me.. "NO! a bird."
