are these MY children????

let me explain...troy has become the pickiest eater ever. his diet consisted of cheerios, gold fish, yogurt and bananas. that was about all i could get him to eat, until wednesday night. i had a can of black beans in my pantry and thought "what the heck, why not try." he ate them like he hadn't had anything to eat in a month, but he has done this before. the real test is the second try.....amazingly the same thing. third try...and this is what he looked like...





he couldn't get enough. and to top that off, he ate spaghetti for dinner. we have tried several times to no avail. now i will stop with troy before i jinx myself.

on to caleb...the kid hates to clean, doesn't see the need nor does he care that he can't find the floor in his bedroom (yes, it gets that bad). he has taken up to 3 days for him to clean his room, no tv, no computer, only food and water. and yes he was in there the entire time....anyway, earlier today he came to me and said "mommy, i want to vaccum the floor." first of all, he hates the vaccum (it hurts his ears) and secondly (see above explanation). i was on the phone with brandon and i told him what caleb said. then brandon said "maybe he is trying to earn more minutes to play the xbox?" surprisingly, NO, he just wanted "the floor to be smooth". so here he is in action....



he went down the hall and everything. what???? is this really my child????

are these MY children? this is a good thing but will it last? i'll have to wait and see.....
