Keaton loves leaves and so the other day he wanted to go hunt out some leaves. How can I say no to that? So we put on our sweaters, grabbed a ziplock, and spent 45 minutes walking the neighborhood looking for leaves. Afterward we went home and Keaton glued the leaves he found to about 18 pieces of paper. Its so fun now that he is older and understands things. This is the first fall he’ll be old enough to do things. I am really looking forward to it!
Scarecrow Gavin age 13 months – Oct 2005
Chicken Keaters age 6 1/2 months – Oct 2006
Way back in the beginning of my pregnancy with Gavin I would have all sorts of weird dreams. One recurring dream was that I gave birth to one of those singing rodent looking creatures from the old Quizno’s sub commercials instead of a baby. One was really scary because the baby tried to eat my boob while I was breastfeeding it. Actually it wasn’t an it, in all my Sub dreams the little rat was a girl and I named her Katherine.

Last night my friend Shar and I went to Rockband Live in Concert featuring Dashboard Confessional, Panic at the Disco, Plain white T’s, and some unknown loser band called The Cab (who played WAYY too many songs if you ask me). Since marrying John we haven’t been to many concerts. We went to Def Leppard last year which was SO much fun and The Wiggles which was also So much fun. But John and I have differing taste in music so we don’t get to go to many things I like. When I heard Dashboard was coming I had to get tickets. I’ve loved Dashboard since before they were a band. I saw them play in a dingy Utah Bars where tickets were $7.I also have a a huge sloppy crush on Chris Carrabba.
When I got pregnant with Keaton we had no intentions of ever having another child after he was born. Especially those last weeks when I got huge and my back hurt so much I wanted to kill someone. And even more so when I had Keaton and ended up with a spinal headache. I haven’t even mentioned what a crabby baby Keaton was. Although his current personality more then makes up for how he tortured me the first 6 months of his life. If you haven’t gotten the point yet, we were pretty set on only having two kids.
I had a busy weekend so I wasn’t able to post these until now. Friday we went to the Zoo with Haromine, her kids Ririe & Miranda, and Jessica and Law. It was a freezing cold day, but we still had a lot of fun. Gavin is still talk about the Zebras and Keaton loved the spotted “Mister Kitty’s”. Gavin loved the carousel, Keaton on the other hand cried when he got on, so I just held him and he thought that was fun. We all had a great time, thanks for coming with us Harmonie and Jessica!

John always picks the most inconvenient times to get sick. This week is supposed to be my week to stress out, drug up (or drink up), and take a nap every day. My plans are now ruined thanks to Shamu and his poor throat that he describes as “being on fire” (douchey thing to say). He is such a whiny bitch when he has the sniffles. If he tells me one more damn time that he’s “so sick” I am going to have to divorce him. I don’t know about your husbands but my husband is a hypochondriac. Every single time he is sick its Viral pneumonia. He knows this without going to the doctor. He swears he’s running a fever and every day says “My temperature was 102.3 today”. Apparently John can tell exactly what his temperature is without using a thermometer, since we don’t own a thermometer. Okay that’s a lie we do own one, we just can’t ever find it.
I swear a lot if its not apparent to those of you who regularlly read my blog (Hi you two!). Back when I had just started my blog I had a blog friend who said she didn’t swear on her blog because she thought it sounded a bit on the trashy side. Me? I think swearing just makes everything that much more funny. I also find it helps get my point across. Describing my day with two out of control toddlers as “difficult” isn’t nearly as accurate as describing it as “Holy shitballs people!”.
