Middle Child Syndrome

I'm no psychology major (oh wait, i am) but I think somebody wishes she was the baby again....

Sorry, Jack

I took the kids to Jack in the Box drive-through for dinner last night on our way to meet Lance in Santa Clarita to look at a condo we are interested in purchasing. I asked the girls what they wanted to eat and Allie replied, "I want a cheeseburger with In-N-Out Sauce." I started laughing and told her that they don't have In-N-Out sauce at Jack in the Box. She had to make do with a plain cheeseburger. Grandpa Jim, can you talk to Jack and ask him if he could borrow the sauce recipe for us?

Are you being naughty?

I was working on the computer today when I realized that it had gotten very quiet in our apartment. I called out "Jackson, are you being naughty?" He yelled back "YES!" When I went to look for him, this is what I found....Don't tell Rachel, it was her toothbrush he had in his mouth.

First Day of School

When I was single, I used to think Christmas was my favorite day of the year. Now that I am a mom, I have changed my mind. The first day of school is my new favorite day. Let's just say it has been a long summer. Lance, Jackson and I took the girls to school today. Rachel got the teacher she was hoping for and was excited. Allie didn't get the teacher she wanted and so was a bit more apprehensive about the whole thing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they both have a great first day so that we won't have to peel Allie off my leg tomorrow like we did today. I just got Jackson down for a nap and now I'm going to pour myself a Diet Coke, turn on the DVR and watch me some reality TV. Project Runway, here I come!
