spaghetti nite!

tonite we had spaghetti for dinner (hence the title of this blog). it was just me and the kids since justin is at work so i figured an easy spaghetti dinner would be no big deal. haha i was so wrong. i dont know why i punish myself everytime but its always a disaster and yet, i keep making it. spaghetti night plus 2 toddlers always equals shirtless kids at the table, a washed floor, and immediate bath! but they love it so i love it. caycee was just a wreck, more so than usual. i sat her in the kitchen sink and cleaned her off as best i could. although i wasnt fast enough, and she grabbed my light blue shirt with her nice sauce filled hands and now i am praying that stain comes out! i even found a few noodles in her diaper (dont ask)!

speaking of caycee, she said another word today. the bag of halloween candy is on the counter in plain sight and the kids know what is inside. i keep telling myself to throw that crap out everyday but of course, i dont remember until they are asking for some. so of course before breakfast, zak is asking to eat candy. i say no, at least not until after you eat breakfast. so breakfast comes and goes and as soon as i get the table cleared, i want canny momma. so i say no, not right now. this is followed with at least a half hour of crying, whining, temper tantruming on the floor, and ended with a please momma. wow kid, you almost got me. i held my ground and still said, no not right now. but i said please momma...but i said please.....ugh. now how do u explain to the little guy that just because he said please, doesnt mean he still gets everything he is asking for? i dont have a clue and i wasnt about to try so i just walked away towards the kitchen knowing he would be following me. yes, i was goin to give in....i walk into the kitchen and i see caycee sitting under the counter where the candy bag is. just sitting there, smiling, like she knew i was coming over there. i ignored her and went the other way and heard her little footsteps followed by zaks pounding steps coming after me. he says please momma, please....and then i hear caycee say, please! it sounded more like peeeezzzeee...but wiht a huge smile and i knew exactly what she was trying to get out. ugh, i was done for. not only did she say a new word but she used it in the right context.....so of course they got their candy and caycee now knows how to melt me....and no, justin wasnt too happy with me!
