So if any of you know me. you know that I am a picture take'n freak. especially of my kids! I was playing with my camera to figure out a few of the features . And naturally my subjects were my munchkins. ( sometimes the dog.) And all they would do is Pose ( super hero style) Ethan always managed to get his head in the middle of my shot. Just when I clicked the button. Jameson always was "posing like spiderman, superman, wolverine, etc. etc. etc. SO I asked him why can't he just stand there and smile. And this is the response I recieved:

ME: Jameson, don't pose just give mommy a big smile and hold still!

Jameson: Mom! Superhero's don't give big smiles or hold still! How am I sapposed to be a superhero If I don't ACT like a superhero?

Me: Okay I've taken 15 superhero pictures. now can I have a Just Jameson picture?

Jameson: No you'll give away my secret idenity!( all in loud hush voice)



now . . .please keep in mind we aren't wearing any costumes! I cracked up! This kid could fill a book with" Kids say the darndest things!"

Zoey just likes to cheese it and jump on her brothers. ( she is going to be a tuff girl)



SO Jameson has now become my massuse(?) I was trying to get Paul work on my back &leg since I swear I have pinched nerve somwhere... He was being a bum and didn't want to. I was sprawled out on the floor. Jameson said: I will mom. ( sigh.. . . okay) so he attempted to do the karate chop.. then he started to walk on my back. up and down. super fast. It was actually quite fabulous. But all the time he was there. He said: Jeeze I hope I get paid for doing this for you mom!

But this is the light that has been shed on me: 40-45 lb. kids are the perfect size to walk on your back. 15-25 lbs. are too light. but still hurts when they sit on your head.. or jumb on your calves

Combined weight of a 45 lb.s 35 lb.s and 25 lbs. Is too much for any part of your body ... . . especially when they are all attempting to stand on you back. and even worse when they all lose there balance and fall on you.

But I will consider hiring on the eldest for an occasional Back walking! When I gave him the lavish proper praise.( you are great buddy) any 6yr old back walking child deserves. the oh so humble response I get was:. . . I know. . . .

This weekend was nice. we went out with a group of friend to Buffalo wild wings. this couple has a 10 mo. baby who is super small. and sweet as ever. Which has turned Paul into mush.. and now he is baby hungry.( heaven help me!) I think he is thinking maybe if we had another girl she would like him ( Zoey doesn't give much love to Paul.... at all.) So he keeps giving me this big smile. and saying don't you miss having a baby in the house.
My response is: I have 5 babies. ( one BIG baby) 2 mid size babies.. and one toddler baby. and dog who is my 4 legged baby. I'm good. I'm good.
But admittedly I too miss the little little babies.. Just not quite sure I'm ready to go thru it all again...

It was nice to hang it with a group tho'. we have made some new friends ( shock!) Carey & Zac. they are fabulous I already love her to death. but hopeing the men can jive so we can hang out more. I think so. He seems to be pretty cool just quite. But he has a ps2 and that's all it takes for Paul.
alright... back to the laundry room ( pout pout)
