New Sitter

I found a new sitter- on Craigslist. Guess what her name is! ... Crystal!

She seems too good to be true. She's nice, she's loving, she easy going- not too far away AND she's only a $100 a week!!! (FOR BOTH KIDS!)

But she doesn't sit any other kids- and matt seems really bored. Brooklyn is content with anything and everything at this age.

If this works out for her, us and the kiddies- we'll be saving over $400 a month!!! Yippee!

Thank you Crystal!

Crazy Little Thing Called Love (lyrics)

This Mom, you love- I just can't handle her
This Mom, you love- I must get used to her
I ain't ready
Crazy little Mom you love

This thing called Brook
She cries
In a cradle all night
She swings
She jives
She shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called Brook

There goes my ladies
They know how to rock'n'roll
They drives me crazy
They give me hot and cold fever
All you Daddies can relate I bet

I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock'n'roll
She drives my crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love

Try em... you'll LIKE em!

Is it Possible?

Is it possible to potty-train a boy when he isn't even 2 yet?

Ya, that's been my goal lately. I bought some potty books from someone on craigslist- I'm trying to make the potty seem EXCITING to Matthew. I cringe every time I have to buy TWO sizes of diapers.

Perhaps I'm not as ready as I wish he was... oh well- Brooklyn seems to like the books tho!

but daddy- I wanna PLAY! Watching you is just too boring!!!!

Daddy was so cute as I let him watch Brooklyn so I could pump her milk- he sat her in her lil' green chair as he played his game. . . She must've got bored 'cause he whispered to me as I came out of the room- "pssst, look- she fell asleep on her table! I put her jacket underneath to give her a little more comfort"

I just rolled my eyes, smiling, as I (OF COURSE)- got the camera.

Twist & Shout (my own re-mix)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you work it all out, now (work it all out)
You know, you look so good (look so good)
You know, you got me going, now (got me going)
Just like I knew you would (like I knew you would)
Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you twist, little girl (twist, little girl)
You know, you twist so fine (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (twist a little closer)
And let me know that youre mine (let me know youre mine)

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come and work it all out (work it all out)
Well, you twist, little girl (twist, little girl)
You know, you twist so fine (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (twist a little closer)
And let me know that youre mine (let me know youre mine)

My Own "My Girl" lyrics:

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.

I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.

Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.

I've got all the riches, baby,
One mom can claim.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.

I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.

I've even got the month of May
With my girl.

My girl. (My girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.
