Today marked an interesting time for maturity with the kids. Sophia at 2 tells me "Led Zeppelin is my favorite band", then Grayson comes in with a "They stink, I like Queen!"..ok hmmmmm are they seriously doing this??? Right now I hear "We will Rock You" blasting from one bedroom, while in another Sophia is listening to "Whole Lotta Love" and running around in her Tinkerbell costume...........you need photos right. Yeah, this is a great photo opportunity.
Grayson turns 6 very soon, and just last night I was scrolling through pics of him just last year. He has grown up too fast. Yes, Grayson...you have. This little boy that would kiss every booboo I had now laughs when I stub my toe. Atleast Sophia is still my little love muffin and says "I SMOOCH IT MOMMY!" Let's see when that will stop.
In an effort to try and make life healthier I have switched us to an eating clean diet. Things from the earth. This concept is difficult for the other residents in my house, and some family members. Whole Grain does not mean....."whole grain". Also, fruit snacks are not fruit. Soooo I have this battle daily with the two men in my house. BOOO on them, since I am the one that makes the grocery list and plans the menu.

MALL Window shopping
Today was another training day. I started my day off just perfectly. Grayson came to bed....my bed and proceeded to cough on me to the point he puked. He puked all over the place. It was disgusting. That was at 4am and lasted a long time. At 830 I had to take Sophia with me to my walk with Auntie Angie. I was a bit nervous that things would be icky with her, but she was a good girl and sat still in the stroller.
Grayson stayed home and played Battleship with Daddy. He had no fever,just felt icky.
Angie and I had some "deep thoughts" during our walk. Funny things happened too, like this guy that was sleeping in a couch near the ice cream place, and we both agreed that the hair salon there needed a makeover itself.
Well I am off to go tend to more household things, never enough time here at the Dozier house.

Didn't ya know
So today started off on a wacky note. My car battery was dead, and I had a lot to tend to on the home front. Grayson kindly offered me is bike....to get to Auntie Angie's house. Which, is quite a distance by the way. His excuse,"well you need to walk anyway mommy"
I went for my walk with Angie and returned to a house a mess, as if my efforts of cleaning on days, 1,2 and now three were all in vain. I think it must be a gene that men lack prior to a certain age...the cleaning gene.
Work has been interesting, and stressful...it is ofcourse TAKS time. Grammie wants to plan a trip with the kids..when I truly want to just do NOTHING on the beach by myself. No offense Grayson and Sophia but sometimes I have to be honest. I encourage my gal friends to take a girls' trip. I wonder if any of them will ever take me up on it. Angie and I had fun on our trip this summer, it was relaxing and just what the doctor ordered.
Sophia, you are still obsessed with being naked.You are taking off your diaper outside and running around saying booty booty still. I particularly liked it when you were naked on the trampoline. Ummmm you won't be doing that in a few years, I hope!
Ok, this part is for the none squemish...(spelling)_So, ladies it is that time of the month and as you know you NEVER get alone time anywhere even the potty. Well I think Sophia has been scared for life now. She keeps running up to me and pointing at my vajajay saying BOO BOO...it hurt? Yeah, sorry I had to blog~!

100 days of school
We have been busy here at the Dozier house. Sophia is trying to potty train herself, with many mistakes I must add...and Grayson is leraning how to read. Lots of major things going on, that I should clearly blog about.
As I sit and type Sophia is running around the house naked screaming BOOTY BOOTY, LOOK AT MY BOOTY. The dogs are barking, and Grayson is playing DS. MONTE CHRISTO can Calgon take me away or what? Hence, my lack of blog time! I wish I could tape this. Well...I was going to tell you about Grayson's 100 day project, but crap she has some screws that I am sure are very important. I gather her father should have NOT placed them at eye level for her to grasp.

Walking for Tatas
I have been a bit busy since October. My good friends give me grief for the lack of bloggin.....once again I remind them that they don't have two kids, well make that 3 (husbands do count as a child, we all know that) and just a crazy mess of stuff going on.
I have made a decision to do something that I have wanted to do for a long time now. I have signed up and paid my dues to do the 3 day walk. The next challenges are training, and raising the 2300 necessary to do the walk. Funny, who the heck would have thought you would need to pay close to 3k to walk 60 miles and sleep in a tent. The money all goes towards a great cause, and I am doing it for a lot of reasons.
Sophia, you are the main reason. Grayson, your wife and children are the reasons too. I hope that when you are my age, this walk is a thing of the past and you personally put your efforts into similar things for your children. That is what I tried to explain to my father today, in an email. I think the problem with some people is they cater to themselves too much. Not enough of giving to others. It isn't a religious thing for me....more of a human kind thing. Yes two words..
The walk and the journey of the walk will be wonderful. One of the greatest people I know is going to be by my side through this. Angie, my best fried and confidant. Comrade one could say. We will be going through all the aches and pains together. It could be pretty interesting and I imagine we will have some serious giggles at times. Walking with her doesn't drag by as it does when I go alone at 4am. When she and I walk and talk it flies by. I can only hope that when you both get older you have close friendships like the one I have with Auntie Angie..it really makes your world a better place. Don't forget that.

PACKAGE TIME
Today Grammy sent you both individual packages. Grayson, you got a Halloween card with some "moola" and a new movie. Sophia, Grammy gave you a bunch of earrings that were her clip ons. You are in your room right now, talking to yourself and trying them all on at once. I can not wait until Christmas morning when you are opening each gift with "OHHH sooo pretty!" and "NICE!" Sooo cute!
You are both getting into the swing of the schedule, but sadly I am not. Some mornings are a breeze, and others you both fight me on clothes and breakfast choices. When you are parents, I will giggle to myself when you complain about this to me. The weather is changing, and out come the fall clothes. Hopefully I can get Grayson to not cut his own pants, and Sophia...to wear something other than PINK!

Flu, Soccer, drums and U2
The past few weeks have been CRAZY!!! Sophia, you turned 2! Then the weekend of your birthday you caught some stomach bug. I was pretty sure you were coming down with something when you were not even willing to eat. Sure enough....I was on the money..you woke me up to vomit all in your crib. Mommy took care of you, and changed your bed. We sat on the couch together most of the night, and you even covered me in vomit too. Fun times!
Grayson you have had some great soccer games. Many of them have been cut due to rain. You love it though~ You do embarass your dad and I sometimes with this crazy movement you do with your arms like a helicopter when you are running after the ball. It is all in good fun though.
This weekend we spent in! Sophia has some flu like yucks...and Grayson we are trying to prevent it from spreading to you. Grayson you woke up and cried saying your head hurt, so mommy took you to the doctor's. No flu, but you still aren't 100%.
We have gotten some Christmas shopping done already. This year we are cutting our shopping to a minimum, but I don't think you will be sad once you open your gifts.
Mommy and Daddy watched a movie called Marley and Me. It is about a dog and the family that loved him. We were very sad, Hannah is getting older and sometimes she doesen't do that well with cold, or getting up on things. We do our best to take care of her...but we can't stop her from aging. I think I cried the hardest when I saw the little boy (about your age) saying goodbye. I think that will be one of the hardest parts, is your sadness and just not having her around.
