On a jet plane

Woo hoo. I am in need of a vacation, like Britney Spears is in need of a new weave. Today, we are hopping on one of our beloved Southwest planes and headed to Boston. Xavier is going through a phase, where gets really excited and yells:
"A plane, a bomb!" he yells this a few times before he finishes, and gets back to making his dinosaurs eat eachother. Now, I am not sure if he really is saying "A bomb" but it sure does sound like it. I will need him to not say this on the plane. This is for sure grounds to get kicked off a plane these days.

Only in my brain

Xavier was a cranky hot mess this morning. He loves juice and he loves his toy story cups.  . . .

As I tried tickling Xavier, or hiding from him to get him to smile I asked:
"Xavier, do you want Woody Juice?" (referring to juice in his Woody cup) I realized this sounded horrible, I corrected myself
"I mean, do you want juice from a woody?" (Xavier puts an "A" infront of everything, I figured I would) This sounded even worse. I corrected myself again
"X, do you want juice from your cup?"

I am going to stick with calling a sippy cup a "cup" not a "woody." and try to be a bit more appropriate infront of my child.

Sharp tooth?

Xavier got mad at me this morning. He brought me to his toy box.
Whiling tearing through it he said "Mommy, arp oo!"
I asked "huh? Hippo?"
He said "NO ARP OO"
I had no idea what this meant and this makes X mad. I start looking through his toy box with holding up every toy I come across hoping it's the "Arp Oo"
Finally I get to the T-Rex. "Is this it?" I ask
"YES MOMA" X replies as he grabs it from my hands and runs off.

I ask javy what "Arp oo" means and id he has ever heard it.
Javy says "Yeah, he is saying Sharp Tooth, like in land before time."

Well . .I missed that memo

A bittersweet Saturday

I did it. The dreaded Black Friday shopping. Javy, X and I hit the roads at about 10am to see what we could get our hands on. I would like to share my deals with you:

2Qt Crock pot: $5

Griddle: $10

Buzz 12' action figure " $12

Woody 12' action figure : $12

Shop Vac :$40

Pillow Pet : $8

Thomas set: $20

I was pleased. What was I

most pleased with you ask? The griddle.

This thing is magic. Pure Magic. This french toast . .did not stick once, and i didn't use any non sticking crap. Eggs, no stick,, bacon, no stick. Holy Lord, this thing is genius. This is what $10 bucks can get ya folks . .go get one.

After I played with my griddle for awhile I decided to clean out my closet. If anyone is looking for a good free workout, this is it. I was sweating like a cow in heat. I decided not to dwell on the past and cry about how much weight I have gained and how much my body chnaged after having X. I finally gave up all my size 0 and 2 jeans. Seriously . .am I ever going to fit into them again? Lets all be honest.

I also got another bargain at forever 21. $7 jeans. Yes, you heard it, $7 jeans. the best part is that they are cute and fit!

Santa or daddy?

Last night Xavier and I sat on the couch looking over black Friday ads together. While glancing over the Bed Bath and Beyond ad, we ran across this

While pointing to Santa, I asked xavier "X,who is this?"

He responded "That's daddy."

I said "No, that's Santa."

He replied "NO MOMMY! That's daddy."

I then pointed to the snowman and said "OK, who is this?"

X said back "That's Santa. and that's daddy." while pointing at Santa

Sorry Javy, Xavier thinks Santa is you. I guess that's kind of cool right? I also think X is a bit confused about his X-Mas characters.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will be consuming about 5000 calories and praying we have no meltdowns/accidents in the pants on this glorious day.

A disaster

Today at work was the family Thanksgiving, we all made a dish and I made a ham. It was delish. I made everyone going around and say what they were thankful for. I went first:
"I am thankful for my wonderful healthy, supportive family, and a great team to come to everyday at work."
The continued comments from over half of the team . ."ditto, what Tracy said."  . .I tell ya, kids these days!
I used the left over ham for dinner, and baked a sqaush with brown sugar and butter, baked potatoes, and croissants.

"These croissants are lame" I stated as I took the croissants out of the oven.

"Yeah they are, but I thought you were suppose to roll them up" replied Javy

"Oh crap, yeah you are." I said back

Please take note. This is a very important step when making croissants. You must roll them up. They will come out "lame" and burnt on the bottom. CRAP!

Xavier took a moment out of his busy night, after I gave him the "30 minutes till bedtime countdown, make it fun" to lay with daddy and cross his legs. I have never seen him cross his legs before, i thought it was cute so I snapped a pic.

Javy looks stressed or tired, or maybe he is mad over my damaged croissants. Please notice the budlight hanging from his hand, I find this classy. Also note the tiger and lion in X's hands, these show up in 9 out of 10 pictures of Xavier.

A winter day

Great, groundbreaking news . . . (not including the eva longoria divorce, or the fact that Jessica Simpson may be preggo) The X-mas station is not up and playing!!I found this out the night our x-mas tree went up. We blasted some "Feliz Navidad" kicked on the fireplace and got our new tree up. Folks, this is the first tree I have had in about 6 years, to say the least I was excited. On that note, I don't care that my tree is up before thanksgiving, I couldn't wait any longer.

My favorite ball is the green one. Javy's is the purple or blue. I can't wait to fill our tree with all the cheesy crafty decorations that X will make at school someday.

X felt the need to have his trucks watch the tree. I am not allowed to move them, so there they will sit, watching our tree. He's a interesting kid . .
It was 2 hours past X's bedtime of 8pm. He was up and running, being crazy. I needed some relaxing time with no dinosaurs or cars, so after we convinced X to go to sleep (this is never easy), I made Javy and I one of these gems.

Apparently one of a few things happened:
1) Javy didn't like it
2) I made too much
3) Javy gt tired and forgot to drink it
His was left in the frig the next day, really, do you think he will really drink it 2 days later after it has been sitting the frig? This goes back to the never waste a fry blog . .
