Passing gas and the aftermath...

Today someone in my household passed some serious gas. After a few moments my dear little son Noah who was in the same room as this person said as he started gagging, "I think I'm going to be sick..hack hack" so we escorted him to a part of the house that was out of range of the smell and a few minutes later he came back into the room and started gaging again and proceeded to the bathroom!
Lets just say that it was the funniest thing my son has ever said!

Check it out!!! & Happy Thanksgiving

Okay so a friend made a coment that I should check this site out and I did and at first I thought it was a bit strange but as I kept on reading it was a hoot! So when you have a moment and need a little laugh here is the site www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com

Hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many things in my life and two out of my many are all my friends whom make me laugh and help me out when I have the blues and to my family for which if it wasn't for them I would be a nobody! I love all of you and am so THANKFUL!!!

While Mom is away....

So on the 15th of November our Ward had a super saturday (You get together and make crafts of all sorts) I left at 9:30am and got home around 5pm. While I was away this is what Paul and the kids did...do I dare leave again ;-)

Paul: "Hmmm Jenny is gone let's have a huge leaf burning bonfire!"

Paul: "Mom said to make sure kids dressed warmly...Check!"

Kids: "Mom's gone get rid of the warm jackets and dance in front of the smokey fire YEAH!!!!"

Paul: "Paige could you watch your brother Ben I need to go FIND Noah?...Noah where are you!!!"

MINUTES PASS!!! HOURS PASS

Paul: (inside with all the kids) "Paige, where's Ben?"

Paige: "He's still outside."

Not sure if this is how it really happened but the Mother may never know! ;-)

Madeline Lost her Tooth!

So after a week of being loose she finally lost it!!!

This is Madeline's 1st one and I'm sure we will have many more soon...could it be, "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"?

Sorenson update

I wanted ya all to know I haven't forgotten about my blog I have just been super busy and haven't put anything on it lately. I promise I will soon! (I've been busy on facebook and if you aren't on it you better get on it) Here our our updates:

Paul-turned 32, working hard at his job and in the yard.

Jenny-heart is healthy just some minor stress, started running and eating better for various reasons (so far so good) and trying to get going on some photography.

Paige-no longer has a spacer in her mouth (what a waste of money), doing super in school.

Madeline-turned 6, has 4 cavities that all need to be fixed (that will cost a fortune-so much for the candy monster), doing super in school too. Has her 1st loose tooth.

Noah-where do I begin, busy, thats really about it. oh he does have 1 cavity and is doing super at home :)

Ben-fallen down the stairs 4 times one of those times was pretty scary but he got up shortly later and was a okay-can't do a baby gate cause he climbs over them. Starting to talk but most of it jibber. Busy too.

I will post something soon as I have stuff to post!

Halloween and our Tradition

Here our our Halloween creatures: Paige was a witch, Madeline a Princess, Noah the cutest Zorro you ever saw and Ben was a park ranger. They all had fun and recieved lots of candy

During Paige's 2nd Halloween I heard about how candy after 3 days is hard on kids teeth. Not that 1 day is better it's just that after 3 days of eating candy the salivia that was supposed to help clean the sugar no longer does it's purpose as well with all the sugar the kids eat so I created the "Candy Monster" It's been a big hit and an awesome tradition in our family. Here is how it works:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 3 after Halloween (we do this at Easter too) the kids put all their candy in their sacks and leave a note for the candy monster (opt.) and leave it on the front porch at night. The next morning the Candy Monster has left a sm. cheep (under $5) present for the kids and it then leaves a note of thanks for taking care of their teeth. You can make up any story you like but here is what our candy monster is like. This year his name was Glog. He lives on the moon with his 10 brothers and sisters whom I will not name all. He looks like what ever the kids want him to look like. He has no teeth thats why he can eat all the candy and thats the only food he likes. The only catch is if you don't have any candy left you don't get a prize!This year Paige stopped eating it so she had plenty left! I swear it works wonders!

Our kids like it so much the day they get the candy they always say they want the candy monster to come that night. One year he brought tooth brushes and tooth paste and they were so happy...we were so glad we thought they would be upset but it probably was one of the best years. So you should try it. the best part is YOU get the candy and your kids stop asking for it. This year I gave it to my Young Women at church.
