I was going to be so diligent in updating my blog and journal all the funny things the kids say and do...2009 was going to be my year to get organized, be healthy and ROCK at this motherhood business!
Well, needless to say, I have failed at all of the above so far! It is so disappointing, but I can kick myself into high gear and get started today, right? RIGHT!
Honestly when it comes to this blog, I haven't had anything "blog-worthy" to write about! (sad, huh?) We have had lots of sickness and misery going on and who wants to see or hear about that? NOT ME! It was hard enough living it, I couldn't write about it too! I know you are so deeply disappointed, aren't you?
Ruby asked me to post this lovely picture...she has been a play-doh junkie while she has been home sick (ear infection, NOT ringworm STEPH!!) This is her masterpiece! I just might ask her to do all the baking at our house this year!! Isn't she adorable? EVEN WHEN SICK, she is gorgeous!
Good job Ruby! Sweet icing color and I love your long skinny candles! MAKE A WISH!
Last weekend we had a horrific discovery at our house!
Rich and Kirk had just come home from renting their favorite wii game (that I won't let them buy!!) and discovered some sort of jam in the wii game system. I heard some choice four letter words and then the madness was in full swing! After painstakingly removing all 345 parts, (numerous of them were actually unable to be seen by the naked eye) Rich removed an Albertsons reward card and a small fortune in spair change.
We believe the wildest of the wild ones has been using our precious wii as a personal piggy bank, maybe he was making a withdrawal with his Albertsons rewards card, who knows...anyway, it was all my fault! I am after all the only one who is responsible for this child and I am with him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! But alas, I am the one that LIVES on facebook and eats, drinks and sleeps from the wild world of bloggerdom, therefore ignoring my child 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
On that note, I am ever so grateful to the person (whoever SHE is) that shops, cooks, cleans and does laundry (AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS!) for the people that live in this home!
It was an ugly weekend! It took a good 48 hours before my spouse would speak/acknowledge me.
Thank goodness we have moved past this hideous tragedy in our lives and once again we are all friends at the Fairbanks Family Compound...
Yesterday, while ignoring my child (WHILE ON FACEBOOK AND STALKING MY FAVORITE BLOGS) this is what John was doing. He is not capable of the above unmentionables! Look at him, so harmless, so sweet! (even with snot running down his face!)
His favorite activity is to grab all the cushions and pillows from our love seat and chair and make, what I call a "NEST!" He has a grand time and could be entertained for hours...no need to destroy expensive toys that belong to Daddy. He grabs some good ol books, Mom's calculator (what is that for anyway?) and some trucks...he could play there all day! (and thank goodness, because I have facebook and blogs to attend to!)

Okay, first of all, Ruby is SO Martha! Seriously, I want her to make my next birthday cake. That is so cute!
And secondly, I love you! You are such a supermom! So, facebook and blog away. You deserve it. And feel free to punch my brother in the nose for me if he tells you any different (I love you, Rich). And lastly, I just have to tell you that, randomly, for the first time ever, Ada built a nest this morning too. I thought to myself, "oh great. here is the end of all my pillows and sheets being where they belong. we'll be seeing forts all over the house soon!" Apparently it's genetic though if John is doing it clear up in Idaho too. :)
We love you guys lots and lots and lots.
