They are so interesting children, never a dull moment

If you know anything about Gavin, or spend a day with him you will understand why I say he was born before his time. Things he wanted and did get for Christmas, a Terminator action figure, and a predator action figure and he liked that movie before the new one came out. He is a fan of Ghostbusters as well and wants those action figures but they are hard to get and if you do find them they are very pricy. He watched Gumby “1957”, the older Godzilla movies “1957” ,Tremors “1990”, and tons of old sci-fi films no matter if they are in black and white either.

His new discovery is Robocop, yeah that was made in 1987. He has watched 1 and 3 so far (not sure why he skipped 2). When he wants a toy 95% of the time it is not sold in stores anymore you have to look on Amazon or EBay. I am not complaining about him I think its amazing and he is very interesting. He likes the old train documentaries that have such old footage it has the lines in it and they use that guy with the mono tone voice that puts me to sleep. He will watch it and repeat parts the whole time. He also loves shows like Untamed and uncut, Mythbusters, Modern Marvels, and the History channel. I think he is the coolest to watch t.v with and love that he is not like all other kids watching SpongeBob and crap all the time.

Gavin is one very awesome boy and has so many areas of interest and skills who knows what he will grow up to do.

Gavin’s funny statement for the month: He says “ mommy?, do you think that what happen to the dinosaurs was a judgment day?” that came out of nowhere one night when I was tucking him in for bed.

      

Miss Ally!! 3 going on 30.

So I want to catch you up on Miss Ally seeing as it’s been awhile since I have blogged about either of them.

Just incase you didn’t know why Ally is called miss Ally and why she calls herself that as well and always says Miss Ally when asked her name. Her sitter’s husband that she calls papa Lyle has always called all the girls that Myrna watches Miss ___ and Ally is the only one who has taken it in and now refers to herself that way.

On the playful side Ally is so funny, she is very dramatic and very serious too. Right now we are in a Beauty and the Beast phase and she loves Bell. When watching the movie she will put on a dress up outfit and be Bell and act out scenes and I will be numerous characters like, “father”, or “beast” or my personal favorite “king man”. She is actually a very good little actress and she will sing as well and that we know she does well. She never stops impressing me with how talented she is already at age 3!!

I love how she sets up her toys as well, she is so careful and serious and she always adds herself in whatever she is playing. Its funny to listen to her when she plays because the dialog she uses is so real life. I could listen to her and watch her play forever if only i didn’t have to be “king man” all the time..lol. 

That is Miss Ally, one very dramatic, serious, big attitude, beautiful 3 year old I have.

 

Being creative for them.

Tonight the kids just seemed itching for something fun or entertaining. I got that because they were running around the living room with a jump rope and an empty bucket in circles.

I got this idea to make them a fort so I went to the storage and got the sides of Ally’s old crib and set them up in the kitchen around the table. I then got some Christmas lights that blink different ways and put them on top and threw blankets over the top to cover it all.

Well they turned the lights off and climbed right in and they love it. They have been going in and out and playing different games too.  They have also been in there just laughing like crazy and I don’t even know at what.

When they first got in, Peter went in too and they didn’t want him in there so I had to keep calling him out but he would go right back in, I thought it was funny.

I just love it when they play so good together! Makes me feel good that they are close and able to play together.  I hope this is one of those times they remember when they get older! 

a special story and achievement

Gavin, Started school in September and has been doing wonderful!!! I have no issues with him and school at all.  He has been coming home with stickers and prizes all week it seems like.

One day he came home with stamps on his arms, I asked him what were they from and he told me he was good. Well playing around with him I asked him what he did, did he throw sand? He said no mommy I was good, I hugged someone that was sad.  I was already very pleased, I asked him why the kid was sad? He told me it was because no one would play with him, so he went and gave him a hug and told the kid that he would play with him.  Awwww, I know I was one proud mother and had some happy tears!!! 

I have to say that boy is very special and cares very much about others even though he may not always show it.  So that is my special story from Gavin!!! 

Ally, I have been trying but not really trying to potty train her for the past year I guess. I wasn’t very consistent with her though, she just didn’t really pee all that much maybe 3 times a day if that.  So yeah I wasn’t good is that it boils down too.

So last Friday when we got home Ally was complaining about her booty itching from the diaper.  So I put panties on her and told her that she needed to make sure she peeped in the potty (not expecting her too), well 30 minutes later she comes running to me out back and said mommy I did it!!! I pooped in the potty, so I went in the bathroom and sure enough she did she went to the bathroom in the potty!! I was so excited and jumped up and down, she was so excited too! Well it is now a week later and I don’t have to use diapers on her at all now!!! I am so happy that I do not have to use or buy diapers anymore! So my kids I must say are amazing and I am very proud of them!!! 

 

Another one from Gavin………..?????

Well, we have seen some of Gavin’s creativeness before with the dead Lego man and bath colors. Well I got him paints for school but turns out they are the wrong ones so I let him use them now, so he was excited and got out is big coloring pages and picked a Thomas one! Well I look over and he had Thomas painted a little blue…ok that’s good, then he had the tracks painted in sections with RED?? hmm??? He asked me if I knew why he painted red, and I said no, then he was like its blood.  I was like Gavin why does it have to be death and he said… get ready for this one….its a new Thomas called “Thomas Mystery of who Killed the Dad?” and he even said starring Thomas and Spencer.  I am not quiet sure how to react with this one???  Oh Gavin…

     

He is too cool now!!!

Well this is the bike that Gavin got for Christmas from his dad!! 

Life’s a Box!!!!

Awww, the simple things in life!  So Paul got a brand new grill and boy did it come in a huge box, so his idea after we took the grill out was that Gavin would love that!!  He couldn’t have been more right!  Nana brought it over yesterday and its been a hit with both Gavin and Ally!  The pictures speak for themselves!!!!

There is a picture where Gavin is writing his name and his sisters on the box and that was his idea, made me smile and feel so proud all he needed was me to tell him the letters to spell his sisters name. So they had a blast decorating it too!!!!
