Homework Hell

Lately 2 out of 3 Oompa Loompas don't think that they need to do their homework when it is assigned. Their exuses?

"I forgot."
"I didn't hear my teacher say I had homework." (yet it's in the backpack so it MUST have been touched by a kidlet!)
"I was going to but then you made me clean the cat box and I forgot."
"It's too easy for me. I shouldn't have to do it."
"Well I have my homework sheet but didn't bring home the book I need to finish it."
"I brought it home! It somehow has disappeared from my back pack!"
"Jimmy Hoffa said he'd do it for me."

Yet even after they've told me they didn't do their homework they still expect to be able to go and play with their friends, play on the Wii and watch "their" programs.

Oooh no, no, no my misguided little Einsteins. Not in this house! When I told them the consequences of not being able to pollute their brains with technology I was given looks like ** I ** had just cooked their favorite pet and made them eat it.

So tonight when they get home there will be nothing but whining and carrying on because I won't let them do any fun stuff. They think they have to suffer when I'm the one that has to listen to it all.......

Fighting

This morning I started to feel guilty about being so excited that kids were going to be in ASP every day after school. Then after kids went to get into van for school, I came downstairs a few minutes later and heard Micah screaming bloody murder.

Seems that he and Zoe were fighting to get into the front seat. In the rush to get to the front seat first, he knocked her against the side of the van so she reached out and pinched the first piece of flesh that she could reach. Zane was screeching at both of them, telling them they were acting like A-S-S-E-S. (Zane feels that if he SPELLS naughty words out it's not as bad as actually saying the naughty word.

Suddenly - I no longer felt guilty!

Macaroni Moves

Zaney informed me tonight that *he* knows macaroni moves.

What? Macaroni moves? What are macaroni moves??

To my horror - he started singing and doing the THE MACARENA! HAAAAA!!!

Such sweet poetry

Needless to say - Zoe was not amused that her brother wrote on her notebook.....

Zane's Dancing Butt Cheeks

While driving back from Target tonight this is the conversation that was going on in the back of the van:

Zoe: Zane! Do you like this song?!

Zane: Yes. Know how I know I like it?

Zoe: How?

Zane: Because it makes my butt cheeks dance!

Shopping with Zoe and Lily

Last night I took Zoe and her best friend Lily with me to Macys. Was I on crack when I gave in to their pleas to take them with me? Perhaps they slipped something into my water! Yes, that must be what had happened for me to say yes!

Zoe and Lily's "ensembles" are crazy enough as it is, but then Zoe forgot HER jacket so wore *my* leopard print one leaving me to freeze. They looked like 2 eccentric little old ladies with their purses and "ambiance." Both had opinions about EVERYTHING that came into their line of vision and both had great fun cackling about ugly shoes and horrendous perfumes that women felt they had to bathe in before coming out shopping. Gawd forbid that they noticed how much the shoes cost - because then they'd broadcast something along the lines of "$99?? $169?? For these UGLY shoes??" then laugh at how ridiculous it all was. Both also made it known that they didn't like having to taste someones perfume by coughing loudly and saying how gross it tasted, of course as the person walked by. (Can't say that I blame them for that though!)

Finally at the sacred MAC counter they were putting on lipstick which they thought looked fabulous. Thankfully the MAC girl was a good sport about it all....lol

Then I had to stop at Target with them - omg I had to drag them out of there and today I feel like I've been beat up! Even so - it was funny to watch them!

Krampus may have to visit!

A naughty baby with Krampus.

Aiyee! I've just realized how long it's been since there has been a posting here. NOT for lack of having things to write about, that's for sure! I'll have to start posting here instead of just posting to Facebook about the 3 Little Curiosities and their very special ways of driving me into the mouth of madness. Which of course happens just about every single day..........

If they keep it up Krampus and his fistful of switches will be making a visit to them instead of Santa Claus!! heheheh!

Mail Love from Jeanne Rose

I love these napkins that Jeanne Rose sent me!
