Tag: Life with littles

Prime Rescue

Another day here in the Moser Household and the morning started off just like any morning. Bug was helping with the toast, Bird was cracking the eggs in the pan, mommy was trying to corral bee and Buddy.

“crash”

Oh how a mommy with littles shrieks when that sound is made. Partly because its’s just one more thing to clean up and partly because the idea of glass all over the floor when littles are around is enough to make any mother cringe.

I enter to find Bug standing over my French Press… or what was left of it.

Now… I have read enough parenting books to know that my reaction to broken or spilled anything is crucial. So my hand immediately went to my mouth.

Ha… I laugh about it now but as I think back on it that hand over my mouth was a desperate attempt to keep my mouth shut. 🙂

So the Tears began to Flow…..

Yes that’s right I love my french press… and no i do not have another way to make coffee. So I’m blubbering away  meanwhile not saying a single word. I didn’t have to my children know and share my love for coffee.

See my love affair with coffee use to be because I needed the caffeine to get through my day…. then after I began Plexus Supplements I lost my need for caffeine but didn’t loose my love of the flavor.

So I’m cleaning up the mess and my girls are quiet… they knew mama needed silence from them *I have taught them well*

 

Then Bug pipes up “mommy maybe we can glue it”

Of course it took much strength not to laugh at her as I threw the shattered glass in the garbage. “that won’t work sweetie, it’s broken in too many pieces.”

Oh and then My angel Bird came in

“Amazon Prime to the rescue”, she shouted with her arm in the air like she won a battle of some kind.

This child has a knack for breaking the silence and knowing what to say to make anyone laugh. Laugh I did, out loud for sure.

So that’s what I did 7:30 am ordering a replacement carafe for my french press.

Meanwhile this afternoon I am drinking caramel coffee that was made from a regular tea pot and strained… not ideal but it will do.

Be blessed!!

Dish Soap and Cat Poop

I suppose the title of the post actually gives it away for sure, but let me paint some back ground for ya. Sitting at the table looking on Amazon Prime (my new/old obsession) for this new all natural soap a a dear friend uses and I’m in love since I used it while doing her dishes a few days ago. I was in love not only did I find the dish soap but there was a laundry detergent, a dishwasher detergent, a hand soap, fabric softener and More I’m missing I’m sure but that is what I remember. If that wasn’t  cool enough there were all kinds of different scents. I was hooked and like a true window shopper I was shopping and loving every minute of it. Supper was over, Daddy was taking a trip with our bug and the other three were chasing the cat around the house. (yes we have a cat… and he loves getting chased) Meanwhile as I am sitting there enjoying my shopping experience, buddy comes in a just jabbers, then he would run out… .few seconds later he was back jabbering.

Mind you this is not uncommon, he is quite the little jokster… much like his father of course. Then Bird come running in and says

Mom, I saw the cat using his litter Box… he never does that does he?

She is right, He prefers to go outside.. apparently he thinks he’s a dog.

I’m not sure if you can see where this is going…. Yeah!…

For those of you that haven’t gotten it yet I’ll keep going

So I go on shopping through the window of my computer.. did I mention I was in my glory? All natural Soap at a decent price that works… I’m like drooling. Ok… then I hear

yikes I’m getting out of here

then…

No… yuck.. yuck… don’t touch me

Followed by a shriek that only those little girls can do when they are being chased.

Naturally my head perks up and I turn around. Buddy is chasing his sisters… not un common of course. BUT he has his hands out like he is trying to get them dirty with something (this is not the first time he has chased them in this manner so this mama has learned) I run over to find…..

 

Yup it’s on his hands…cat poop…. Ew ew ewwww So gross. I’m nearly gagging and Bird comes in

Mommy its all over the laundry too….

So I put buddy in the bath, and prepare a few loads of laundry. (The laundry was washed, dryed folded and ready to put away from today’s pile) kallenAnother day in our graceful home with much love and GRACE.

I leave you with this adorable face I just can’t deny

P.s. That is not what you may think it is in his hand… 🙂 This was taken after he was all cleaned…

Blessings
