My ears can now turn off :)

It's been one of those days, you know, the days where you make up new punishments and escape to that little part in your brain if you can make it there before it gets too mushy. Well, that is how the switches on my ears were invented. Ethan had been whining all day long and I had had it, so when spencer got home I told Ethan that my ears were being turned off. I made an elaborate show of me turning off the switches in my ears, which caused Ethan to bawl and bawl because my ears couldn't hear him anymore. (thank heavens they couldn't) And now I have a way to show him that his whining can't effect me. So tonight (a couple hours since the ear switches were invented) this was the conversation:) lol

Ethan: "Mommy can I have a grink"
M: (loudly) "Ethan, Mommy's ears are turned off, you'll have to ask your Daddy"
Ethan: "Daddy ... Can you turn Mommy's ears back on so she can get me a grink?"

I know, totally cute huh!! my 3 boys ... can life be better?

As I said, a ton of fun in the tub ... On Teusday Ethan had his preschool farewell party so we blew up a ton of water balloons and carted them to the park for all the kids to play with. My kids really loved the prep work. These balloons were awesome, Mason could actually sit down on them and bounce up and down and we didnt lose a single one :)

Bath time has been so much fun this week. I allowed my kids to add multiple dyes today (Monday) and we actually came up with a really cool aqua green. I think it was red,yellow, and a couple blues and a couple more yellows

time again for pictures and I'm loving the ones I was able to take. Mason hit 18 months last Thursday and Ethan turned 4 yesterday. Makes me want to cry that my boys are growing up so fast, but I'm enjoying every minute of it (well, almost every minute)

Comprehensive review so far ... I consider myself kind of an expert now at stain removal and am willing to try anything that might speed up the process of treating literally everything that mason wears. I just tried shout advanced for little under a week and my review so far is ... it hasnt taken any of the stains out and I've had to retreat them with spray and wash (with resolve, the stick) now my friend Kara told me it works best if you leave it on for like a week, and I have to admit that I havent done that yet and am testing that now ... so we'll see.

We had a fun day with cousins on Sunday for Nora's baby blessing. Mason managed to squeeze in his nap by sleeping on Spencer for an 1 1/2 hours :) Ethan didn't get a nap, which we paid for when we got home...
