Mommy's Law

Mommy's Law:  Murphy's Law involving children

Personal Examples:

Parker figuring out he can slide along the hardwood floor on his belly, right after the dogs run inside with muddy paws.

Discovering Parker pooped 2.5 seconds after...A) I put him in a fresh diaper.  B) finish giving him a bath. C) started washing a load of dirty diapers, which means the latest stink bomb sits at the bottom of the diaper pail for a day and a half.

The day before getting professional pictures taken, Parker falls and has a black eye and fat lip.

Warning do not finish reading this post if you are about to eat...

And last night--Brian and I were getting ready for bed, and one of us casually mentions that Parker seems to be over his cold and isn't sick any more.  2 hours later Parker puked spaghetti and hog dog all over my shirt and his crib.  After 4 hours of barfing it is safe to say... the three of us may never eat a hot dog again, and I'm pretty sure nobody is going to finish the leftover spaghetti in the fridge.  Parker has kept breakfast and a small snack down, but doesn't want to do anything other than sit on the couch and snuggle.

Cabin Fever?

After Being cooped up in the house for 2+ weeks, due to sickness and the snow.  I realized I haven't had enough adult contact/conversation when I referred to Parker's nap time as my break time and informed the dogs that "Mommy will be back in a minute, she has to go pee-pee in the potty."

Parent Humor

Parker alternates between stalker, H is for hell, and jazz hands.  His version of jazz hands is trying to find our nostrils and ears so he can shove his fingers in them.  Do they make anything wider than a king-size?

Snowmageddon 2012

We accumulated 6.5 inches of snow at our house. 

Here are some pictures of the family playing in the snow.

Ike getting a closer look at the snow

Mom, my nose is kinda cold

Wrestling happens in any type of weather

Chase is lots of fun in the snow too

We took Parker for a quick walk to the mailbox

Don't let the smile fool you he HATES riding in his sled,
but Brian and I enjoyed a few runs down the driveway!

Brian built Parker a snowman...his lower
half is now yellow and the dogs ate his nose.

Parker staying warm and watching Brian play with
 the dogs and build the snowman

Brian trying to get the dogs to pose next to the snowman

Brian had a snowball fight with the dogs and
wanted to make sure Parker wasn't left out!

Playing in the snow is hard work!
