Not that I ever posted a whole lot to begin with… but I’m here again, nonetheless.
Later!

Things I’ve learned this week:

1. Purple crayons are most fun when used on windows, walls, counters, cupboards, tables and floors.

2. Purple crayon comes off of said surfaces with Fantastik with bleach and Windex

3. 8 years olds interpret “watch your brother” as “Watch TV”

4. 2 year olds pay close attention to where the crayons are kept.

5. 2 year olds are very aware of when Mommy is around vs. when 8 year olds are in charge.

6. A trip to Andrew Hayden Park can be quickly replaced with Fantastik with Bleach and a rag.

7. 2 year olds like to put ride-on toys on the couch and practice pop-a-wheelies.

8. Above event can be done inside of 20 seconds. (enough time to take infant upstairs and come back for the second one)

9. Husbands find great composure when being told of numbers 1-8 out of fear of death.

10. 7 month olds can pull chest hair with their toes. (Wives find great composure when being told of #10)

Hey everyone,

Here is an unusually large blog entry, but it was just too cute not to post. Jordy has developed a new hobby. She is becoming a singer/songwriter. I think I have her convinced to let me video tape her tonight, singing the following songs that she wrote. I can�t wait. I thought I would share what our talented 8 year old songwriter has to offer the music world in the future.

Later,

Nik

I’m In a car,

with all my friends.

Hangin’ out,

gotta go somewhere good.

Maybe burger King,

Don’t know for sure,

But somewhere good.

Havin’ a blast all day,

Nothin’ can ruin it, Nothing at all.

Where we’re going, Won’t get ruined.

Maybe somewhere else out there,

will get ruined.

But not us,

oh no,

Not us.

Love for a Family

Love for a family is very special,

Everyone needs love from a family,

oh yes.

I don’t just need it,

I want it Right now.

Love for a family is very important,

If you love a family,

They will love you back.

You need to treat a family with love,

all the time.

It’s Raining

It’s been raining all day,

I want it to be sunny for a while.

Does it have to rain right now, or can it wait?

I guess not.

I just need a bit of sun,

Just a little bit.

Can’t someone just get some sun?

Maybe if I say, “Go away rain”

It will leave me alone.

I guess it didn’t work,

Maybe tomorrow, yes tomorrow,

It won’t rain.

In My Shower

Not too cold,

Not too hot,

Just the right temperature is right for me.

Not too cold,

Not too hot,

Just the right temperature is right for me.

Knock on the door,

Let that water pour.

Washin’ my hair,

Don’t you dare,

Open the door,

Or the water will pour.

Washin’ my body,

Pet my doggie,

I’m so dandy,

Give me some candy.

If you don’t,

I will cry,

Then I’ll die,

If you don’t give me some candy.

I can’t fly

I can’t fly,

But I wish I could.

I stare outside, looking at the birds,

Imagining I was one.

Flying and soaring in the air,

Letting my feathers blow in the wind.

But I am just a little girl at my window,

Staring at the birds.

I’ve tried over and over to fly,

But I can’t.

What use am I,

if I can’t fly?

I try to be useful without flying,

It’s just not gonna happen,

Oh, no it’s not.

I wouldn’t be happy in an airplane,

‘Cuz it’s not like a bird.

I just wanna fly.

Now some of you may be asking yourselves, how is Nikki taking the news of Court quitting his job and following his dream? Well, I’ll tell you. At first I was a little taken aback, but then I realized I was just being selfish. Always thinking about me, me, me. That isn’t healthy in a marriage, y’know? What kind of wife would I be if I didn’t support his lifelong dream? I know I’m going to have to have a thick skin in terms of all the girls that will be tucking money into his g-string, but the truth of it is, the last lap dance of the evening will always be mine. Go get ’em honey!

So here I am posting a blog for the first time in FOREVER. Nothing too new on my end except trying desperately to make drapes for the dining room window. It’s a very slow going process and it gets interrupted frequently. But, whaddayagonnado?

On another note, Court is bugging the hell out of me regarding what is going on this weekend. He is being very secret about the whole thing. My curiosity is peaked. I’m told to pack the boy for the weekend and that is it. Hmmm. I’m starting to wonder if he will be taking us to the Mohegan Sun Resort Casino in UNCASVILLE, CT. As every year passes that we are together, I start to wonder how close the ties are between he and the Prince of Darkness, what with all the short plane jokes and such, y’know? We are both bound to burn in hell. Next thing you know, regular poker nights will be with real money after all. I guess this means this Friday’s regular poker night is canceled.

Well I’ve written enough for one post, it is time to go now and cater to the boy’s needs, like LUNCH! If I can avoid looking at “The Toe” I may still have an appetite to eat with him. Honestly, that thing is gross looking. I’m so glad he had a cast on for two weeks.

Nice. The Vallentynes are all about the “new colours”, huh? Very sharp.

On other topics, it is T-minus 6 days until the TPB party, people. Have you got your duds yet? Andrea, are you guys going to be home for Easter? If so, get yourself and your hubby over here on Sunday night for the Season Three Premiere. Last night was the TPB marathon. Did you guys catch any? I watched about 5 episodes while I made lists and giggled at some of my party ideas. Awwww YEah! As usual, minor pre-party construction and renovations will be undertaken…
