My own personal Johnson & Johnson baby commercial :)

* Consider yourself warned, this is a "graphic" post *

(there are pictures of poo)

When I first had my babies, I was soooo surprised that my life wasn't like a Johnson & Johnson baby commercial (I am actually being serious--for once) you know the one I am talking about, right?  Where the Mommy is bathing the baby, and the baby is smiling and laughing - and everything is PERFECT?!?

Welcome to my Johnson & Johnson baby commercial.....

Poor Miss. Matea after her nap...

Look how sad she is

oh dear..

My poor baby having a bath after "the incident" - doesn't she look sick?

Having a little naked time

Can I chew on this Spiderman?

You bet!

Ahhh that makes my teeth feel better :)

Teething...

Ahhhhh...two year molars.....poor Miss. Matea.

Our sweet baby girl has been fighting the "teething monster" for the past few days, here is a little picture of Miss. Matea at the park the other day....poor baby.

I really do know that it is Septemeber 4th...really I do :)

So...here are the July scrapbook pages for the M & M's scrapbook...little bit late...oops :)

Ouch my back! - A conversation with Big Mack :)

So I hurt my back (I know boo hoo, poor Jess) so tonight while Bob was doing some snack time with the M & M's, I took some Robaxicet, and then hopped in the tub - ahhhhhhh.......does it sound too good to be true?  It was.  I hopped in the bathtub @ 8:24, Big Mack was trying to get in the by 8:32 :)

and the following conversation ensued....

Mack: "Mommy you got a book in there?"

Me: "Yep just reading a little Twilight, honey"

Mack:  "Mommy...can I have a book in the bath tub?"

Me: "I don't think so Mackenzie, only grown-ups get to take their books in tub, sorry."

Mack: "Mommy...you got any toys in there?"

Me: "Nope no toys in here, bud."

Mack: "You want some toys in your bath Mom?"

Me: "No thank you Mackenzie"

Mack: "I'll go get you some toys Mommy..."

and then he was back 3.2 seconds later (completely naked) with a couple of dinosaurs, and some cars...climbing into the tub!

Just another Saturday night with The Schurman's 

Tuesday Truths - Week 2

A few Momma Confessions from this week ;)

Seriously...does this picture even need an explanation?

  We went to the pool tonight, and two of the four pools, and the two water slides were closed because there was some "poo" in the pool - at first I was thinking "ew, double ew" and then I thought "who let's their kid poo in the pool and doesn't tell the lifeguards before it gets sucked into all the other pools!" and when I said this exact statement to Bob-a-licious, he just looked at me like, "really Jess"--and then it clicked, 2 and a half years ago I was that Mom.  I can remember "the incident" like it was yesterday...Big Mack and I were hanging out in the little kiddie pool when I noticed a little brown cloud in the pool - I thought to myself  "wow, someone came to the pool with dirty feet..." and then literally a split second later I realise that "the brown cloud" is following my little Baby Mack around the pool, and then I ran to the changeroom and didn't tell anyone (basically in the hopes that no one would know it was us).  So I guess I need to remember that I have probably "been there" before I start throwing around "ew...double ew's"...right?

  I was outside playing with the M & M's today, and a little friend of Mack's.  I was chatting with the little three year olds at the trampoline, and I turned around (because it was too quiet) and where was Miss. Matea...crawling across the the patio table!?!  What?!?  Crazy baby.
• I had to get Bob-a-licious to teach me how to make a fort for the M & M's - it just isn't my thing, I guess.  Big Mack had been asking me ALL day to go downstairs and make a pirate ship.  In my head I was thinking "how the heck to I make a pirate ship?!?"--I was scared.  Bob to the rescue...and now I know how to make my kids a super cool pirate ship fort (lots of sheets and blankets, and various size mattresses.)

No cool fort pictures (I know you were hoping) but here is one of Miss. Matea reading her books. 

And Big Mack attempting to drink out of Daddy's water bottle - cute

How cute are they?

Super awesome weekend this weekend...trip to Calgary, 1st birthday party, good friends, Sunday swimming party (it was just the 4 of us, but still always a party), and a delicious supper with Nana, Bampi, and Uncle Jer - good times :)...ooops, and I got to do a little photo shoot with another family, and the pictures turned out pretty okay :)

Some pictures of the M & M's from this past week, I think they are C-U-T-E and sometimes CrAzY! 

If you have a rambunctious 3 year old (like me) this is the best game EVER, especially when said 3 year old always wants to "help"...here is an example of our conversations lately...

Mom: Mack can you please sit down, Mommy needs to finish putting away the dishes.

Big Mack:  But Mommy I want to help...please?

ANYWAY...Big Mack playing with the hose, washing everything in the backyard

This is totally a little rascal face, right?

Laughing at something...probably a Big mack "knock, knock" joke - they are not your typical knock, knock jokes

I have no idea WHAT is going on in this one - Crazy.

At the park

Pretending to be scared...

Matea at the park...

CLOSE - UP!!!  They are my fave :)

Miss. Matea taking a break to have a snack..

My fave pictures from this week....cute.

Tuesday Truths - Mommy Confessions Week 1

Ok, so we all have them. I have decided its time to stop keeping them to myself in hopes that other mommies will realize that none of us are perfect. Here are my little secrets for the week in hopes it will encourage me to be better. What are yours?

• My kids stayed in their "jammies" all day today, the only reason they changed into real clothes is because their Dad was coming home, it was literally 4 minutes before he got home that they got changed.
• I watched while Big Mack "helped" me clean up this afternoon.  This entailed "accidentally" spilling a giant bowl of cereal all over the floor so he could vacuum it up - cute.
• I actually lost my mind the other day when a woman in the grocery store said to my son and I "Wow, he sure doesn't talk much does he, are you worried?" - I know, ridiculous, right?  Who says that?  and hello perfect stranger, why would I want him to answer you anyway?!? - at the time I just politely walked away and went and stood in another line.  After...first I gave Big Mack a big hug, and told him he was perfect (he understands, even when they are little they understand) and then I called my sister, and Bob, and my brother...and they all assured me he was what I thought - perfect.
