A freakin Bear is what just walked through my yard!

Yeah so Ive been super behind on posting blogs. It s a good thing I only have a handful of followers so noone is really dissapointed. One day when I can actually commit to this thing I will reach out to others but for now its just a couple of you to keep happy.
So my story today is this....A FREAKIN BEAR WALKED THROUGH MY YARD!!!!!
I was watching Avatar on the computer with my family for the 3rd try since we never make it through due to people falling asleep or a scratch on the dvd that took over at least 20 minutes of the movie.
So there we are watching it on the computer and the screen decides to fall asleep so I get up to shake the mouse to get the picture back and and look out the window and there it is. Just cruisin through the back yard where my kid plays by himself or at least until today he did. Luckly he was inside with us at this time buliding forts on the couch and abusing his lil brother ( needless to say Avatar was interupted again). Funny thing was when I said " There is a bear outside" no one believed me until I said " really there is a FUCKING bear outside!"

why must we use profanity to get our point across?

No card in my camera so no proof. I wonder what kinda trouble that lil guy is getting into this evening?

My first reaction....

The reality .......

What would have been cuter.....

What I would hope would happen if my kid came across it.......

Nice teddy!

when I mention Axle rose what do you think? of his hair that is......

Alright so im cruisin through the veggie Isle at the local grocer and I say hi to a friend. he says " oh hey I didnt recognize you with your hair so Axle rose- ish" So of course right away I think I have a huge rats nest in the back because im not wearing a bandana which is totaly what comes to mind when I think of his hair. I think it may have been the plaid shirt that added to my Axle rose style.

I decided to do a  google search and see how my hair might relate to his......

OH DEAR LORD......I promise you my hair in no way resembles this!

So I searched the older dayz.....

Well thats kinda scraggly and flat but definitly closer...

wait maybe I was having a scraggly, flat I dont give a shit hair day!

Now that the Axle we all know and love!

this is  creepy but definitly has a reseblance to my hair....Im pretty sure he is swaying to the feminine side here

Just had to throw this one in for good ol Slash!

So what I have decided from this is that it was a compliment, or at least not an insault. Its okay to have old school rockstar hair right?

I still think it was the plaid shirt that threw him off!

if he was an oyster.....

okay so my kid says alot of great stuff and I hope that never changes cause he keeps me super entertained. My mom promises me that I still say things that make her laugh to this day so that gives me hope. Plus I have my other lil man who im sure will follow in his big bros foot steps.
Today Cohen said" mom if I was an oyster I would really miss you". ( especially at high tide) I dont understand where this came from but I assured him that if he was an oyster I would miss him too...

The imagination of a child is so entertaining to me. I think I should have a day dedicated to the things Cohen says...........

#1 ON MY AWESOME LIST...BEING WITH MY BOYZ!

mother, mom,mommy. momma.......

Its been about a week since I have blogged mostly due to the fact that I am a mother and everyone has needed a little more love around here this week for one reason or another. In turn the Blog gets no love......
Yesterday my mom asks what we are doing for mothers day and if "she " has any plans. Thats her sutil hint for what are you doing for or with me tommorow. Funny thing, the best present we give to each other every year is nuthing. Imagine that. we both decide that on this day the best thing to do is nuthing because moms deserve to do nothing right? So today I will go to my moms and do nuthing with her. Although the kid wants to go for a picnic so because I am his mom this is what we will do!
#510 in the book of awesome......Hanging with your mom!
LATER THAT EVENING.....So non of that nuthing happend. Imagine that a moms day turns out to be all over the place. My mom is sick so no picnic and no day of nuthing. Instead it was a day of children playing in the sun, lunch with some great gals followed by an evening that so far has allowed me to almost do nuthing.....almost being the key word.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO EVERY MOTHER EVERYWHERE!
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A MOTHERS LOVE........

This is something you learn when you become one.

they are always thinking in our best interest.

she has them so well trained she can sleep while they wait in line for boob...wow thats good!

mommy snuggles.....they are medicine for the soul

they work so much harder them most of us imagine

and they love more then you could believe possible

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Pay it Forward day.....

Yesterday was pay it forward day so I decided the best thing to do would be to teach this theory to my son.
We decided we would adopt a snow leopard through the WWF canada.
This would be him paying it forward to the snow leopard. First thing we did was return our empties.Usually I let him buy a puppet for his collection with this money but today was different he was learning to help others instead of buying yet another material object ( although he gets a free snow leopard stuffie with his certificate so that was probably the drive really). It took a while to make him understand we dont actually get the animal in the mail that it stays where it is.  On with our adventure. We gathered up some beaded necklaces I made when I was like 12, his " indiana jones" purse and his walking stick and off we went to get some donations.

First stop the local take out shack. The sweetest lady ever! He does his pitch to her but dosnt really make sense cause he is also ordering a tiger tiger ice cream at the same time. she donates 5 buck and a free ice cream cone and in turn has a great necklace so when people ask where she purchased such a fine piece she will tell the pay it forward story. Next we hit up  Aunties house but by then it was all about the ice cream. He hands me the merchandise and says "here mom you tell her". We carried on our way to the Heriot Bay Inn where of course everyone is already aware of how cute my kid is. After a couple more donations and a lot of cute interactions he is well on his way. We also learned about donations and how a little or alot is just fine, of course then he started telling people they didnt have to pay and totaly confused them!

It was all in all a very successful day for many reasons...

one of my all time favorite movies.......

A reason for being tired.....

 If you lose one hour sleep for evey day since your baby is born ive missed out on aprox 2190 because my 5.5 yr old still dosnt always sleep through. I probably have lost more then one hour per night since December 2004. So I have an excuse right? cause I am always tired. I admit I probably jump up alot faster then I need to when the kids wake in the night but I have found my 5 yr old about to pee on a wall,pee at the sink and sit at the top of a flight of about 15 stairs. That enough to make a mom sleep with one eye open. My son has always had night terrors and such that need a pretty imediate response. That stuff is enough to freak a person out. poor little man trapped in a dream. Maybe if I just ignored it and pretened to sleep it would all go away. Then there is the times when he calls me in at 2 am franticaly to remind me he loves me. Now that is worth waking up for! The other night I decided to cuddle up to my little man in my bed for night time and he said "mom I was just thinking about back in the day when I was 3 and I used to always sleep in your bed".
I love my boyz But god damn it mommy needs sleep!!!!
Good night everyone! ( oh right except the kids. I will of course see you before morning)
Here are some other reasons people dont sleep followed by some sleepy pics...

(not so smart)

                           

                                              ( the lucky one)

Apparently I associate sleep with the great out doors.
Maybe thats my problem Im always trying to sleep in my bed.....

Planet Baby...

Babies, a new world-spanning documentary, follows four very different kids from birth to toddlerhood.
My 5 yr old and I were discussing this up and coming documentary. The film 4 different babies one from Japan, one from United States, one from Namibia and one from mongolia.
I cant wait to check out the different ways babies are raised. they are comparing this documentary to the likes of "planet Earth". I explained this to my boy, these are his observations of the pictures in the article...

"cool mom look at  all the different ways to grow babies"

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
