February

Well, I wish I was more computer savvy but I'm always having problems posting pictures on this blog. My nice camera is broken and my little camera is filled with pics that I need to get printed. So we rely on Sean's iphone right now but I can't figure out how to download them on here.

Updates from The Poole Family:

Big Haircut:
Last Sunday Sean gave Seanie his 2nd haircut. His 1st haircut was in October and it is just soooo curly. My brothers were calling him Harpo Marx from the Marx Brothers. So Sean shaved it and I got teary eyed having regrets. But it actually looks really cute. It's still curly on top but shaved on the sides. My brothers now call him J.T. (Justin Timberlake) from the 2000's and sing "Bye, Bye, Bye" whenever they see him.

Kindergarten:
I can't believe Maggie will be 5 in a couple months and I have to register her for Kindergarten next month. It's a big step and she's very excited. She has also been playing soccer once a week and she is having lots of fun. She is always the first one to listen to the coach (well, most of the class is boys so what do you expect)? She shares the ball with all the other kids and I love that she is so nice but then the competitive side of me wants her to just kick butt and be the best!!!

Funny Stories:
Seanie is talking so much now and I just love all his funny sayings. He is in such a good spot right now and I'm really enjoying his sense of humor. He loves getting naked in bed at night and so he falls asleep on his stomach with his naked butt sticking straight up in the air. The first night he did it both Sean and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. We have pics but just text me and I'll send it to you :) He loves taking off his diaper during the day also and says he has to go potty about 20 times a day but never has.

My kids have been really hungry lately so dinner has been around 5:00 lately. Last night Seanie tells me hes hungry and he wants a "sammy". He sits at the table and usually talks me into a little appetizer while hes waiting. I noticed that he was really quiet looking at his naked knees (he was just in his diaper). I finally walk over and he's rubbing his right finger on his right knee and his left finger on his left knee. I said "What are you doing?" and he looks up and shows me his finger's. I said, "What are those?" He said "eeeewwww... boogers"! He was rolling boogers on his knees and playing with them. It was pretty gross and funny at the same time. So my son doesn't need any toys to play with he just makes his own out of boogers!!!!

Maggie, my laundry helper has been helping me fold clothes and put them away lately. She was putting away my clothes for me in the drawers and asking me which drawer they were in. "The first, the second?" She said, "Hey mom, where do your boobs go"? I said, "Do you mean my bra"? "Yes". "In the first drawer" "Ok"

I was changing Seanie's diaper when the ultimate question came up....
Maggie: Mom, why do boys have wee wee's and girls have pee pees?
Me: Well, thats what makes up boys and girls because of our different parts and girls have boobs too.
Maggie lifts up her shirt and says: I don't have boobs. Look!
Me: Your right but you'll get them when your a little older.
Maggie: Well, why does Daddy have boobs?
Me: ha ha ha ha ha good question... ask Daddy when he gets home.

Maggie and I play dollhouse a lot and her mom in her family was going to the store and the mom in my family asked her to get her a bunch of stuff from Target. Maggie's mom came back with 3 trampolines from Target (one for the babies, one for girls and one for the adults). My mom asked where all her stuff was that she asked for and her mom said, "Oh, I'm so sorry it wasn't on sale". hee hee hee

The last two Saturday's we've gone to the zoo. Last Saturday was the 1st time I went by myself with the kids and without the stroller. It was really fun and we had a talk about not running off and how we would get to see the baby giraffe named "Maggie". The giraffe was so cute. She galloped around trying to get the other giraffes to play with her. So we had so much fun that we went again yesterday and I invited my parents. We had a blast. The monkeys were in rare form. The chimpanzees were going crazy and kept banging against the glass with their feet. So we were standing there and one monkey came over to us and banged against the glass. Seanie started crying and Maggie jumped on my leg and I spilled my coffee. I thought it was awesome and now my kids are traumatized. Seanie wanted to go back and one of them was playing peek a boo with him. It was the coolest zoo trip ever!!

That's the latest and I'll try to get pictures up asap!
