It's Pink!

Marcus is now sporting a neon pink cast almost up to his elbow. He said he was confident enough in his manhood to wear pink, LOL!
I will take some pictures later to post.

Not Again

Around this time last year Marcus broke his hand. Well today it is his wrist! Yes he has a broken wrist. The doctor said it isn't a bad break and may not even require a cast this time. I guess we will find out some time next week when we go to the bone doctor.

I Won...

the clothing war this morning!

I told her what she was going to wear and if she cried then she was going to sit on her bed until she stopped and she would be late for school. She whined a bit but didn't start crying till I gave her the option of 2 pairs of shoes. Of course she wanted neither pair and but instead flip flops again. It is cool out this morning so I stood my ground and didn't let her have them, that is when the tears started. I simply walked away and told her to stay in her room till she was done. She followed me out wiping her eyes and not another tear was shed. So now I wonder if giving her choices was the wrong thing to do. Maybe I will just start picking out her clothes without her input. Anyway here is a picture from this morning she is less than happy but notice the new Gymboree outfit complete with hairbows.

Clothing War

That is what we are having the last 2 weeks-a clothing war. It is me against Bre and she is wining most of the time.
Every day we have went through the same thing and it ends up with me frustrated and her crying. Here is how it goes down.....
She will say no to every item of clothing that I offer her. She will then insist of some shirt that she has already worn once or twice that same week. I tell her no pick another one she starts to cry and it is all downhill from there. If we are not fighting about a whole outfit then it is about the pants or shoes.
This morning she picked out a pink t-shirt with butterflies, fine good choice I think. Next she is very determined she is wearing her pink flip flops even though it is only 50 something degrees outside. I go along with it just trying to keep the peace. I pull a pair of jeans off the hanger that she has worn many times before and all heck breaks loose.
She starts screaming and I do mean screaming that she does not want those pants. I think WTH they are just jeans. She has no other pants that would match cause she has outgrown all her plain pink pants and I haven't replaced them seeing how summer and short season is just around the corner.
I drag her into them with her screaming "I don't want those pants!"
I drag her to the Jeep with her still screaming.
I drag her into preschool with her yet still crying over a stupid pair of jeans.

I try to give her choices but she is making it impossible. Plus I didn't buy a closet full of clothing to have her wear the same $7 Wal-Mart SpongeBob t-shirt every single day. I also refuse to crumble under the pressure and let a 4 year old child get her way every single time. I just can't figure out what has brought this defiance along. I hope it is just a phase that is soon outgrown instead of a new way of life every single day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS !

Bre's Birthday

I took cupcakes and ice cream cups over to Bre's school for her birthday. After that she came home early with me and opened 3 presents. She will have to wait for the rest till her daddy gets back home and we have her party.

Happy 4th Birthday Baby Girl !

In case anyone is wondering what in the heck she is doing I will tell you. She is standing on our bedpost putting on a concert for me.

Bad Blogger

I know I have been a bad blogger with no new posts. Personal life has been getting in the way of posting though. Everyone is fine and hopefully there will be new cute pictures soon.
