Okay - You are probably wondering why in the heck I am blogging about toilet paper? Well here is the deal....
My boys have poor bathroom manners (I think they all do). If you are a Mommy of boys (especially young ones) you know exactly what I am talking about!
Besides making a mess constantly they use entirely too much toilet paper. So I got smart (or so I thought so) and bought the cheapest one ply toilet paper I could find.
One - that stuff is expensive. It does not require an entire roll of toilet tissue to wipe a small butt!
Two - I was sick and tired of using the plunger (which creates a mess of it's own) every time one of my kids used the potty!
Well the one ply worked! I have not had to plunge in a couple of weeks now! I did however make a new rule: MY bathroom (master bathroom) is off limits to the boys! I bought my usual Charmin toilet tissue for MY bathroom. It has taken dear husband 3 weeks to figure out that I skimped on the toilet paper for the boys! He told me that I shouldn't be buying that cheap toilet tissue! I simply explained why I did it.
NOTE: HE does not plunge regularly - somehow anything that has to do with Poo belongs on my list of responsibilities.
Needless to say we have "debated" my logic of buying the cheap stuff and hogging the good stuff for my royal butt!
Is that wrong??? What are you thoughts?? For real. I want to know.... Can't the only girl in the house have at least one "perk"?
As side note: Nancy over @ One Stop Boy Shop like this post so much she gave me The Post of the Day Award! :) Thanks Nancy!

The Tooth Fairy Visits
So I am having dinner with Frank and the boys the other night and Thomas is not eating at all. I noticed he was moving his jaw back and forth. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he had a loose tooth. He was using his bottom teeth to wiggle his top tooth. I told him to eat his dinner and he could work on that tooth after dinner. He then shows me the loose tooth and it was really loose. It was loose enough that I thought he may loose it while eating!

Mountain Trip
On New Year’s Day Frank and I took the boys to the mountains. Frank had some business to do in the area so we thought why not take the whole family? We left early on Thursday morning. The boys slept for a while then played with their Nintendo DS. When we got there (after stopping a couple of places for Frank to do his thing) it was close to dark. We had dinner and settled down for the evening. In the morning when we woke up, I opened the blinds and what do I see?? SNOW~ Okay – you snowbirds are laughing right now I just know it! There was a “dusting” of snow outside. The boys went nuts (okay so did I)! We headed out for breakfast and had to “play” for a minute!
After breakfast we headed up the mountain for some sight seeing (i.e.; yesterday’s WW entry). We hiked up and down some trails and saw some neat stuff. Later that evening, Frank and I took the kids snow tubing. We all had a blast~! I did not take pictures because you can’t haul a camera around while snow tubing – not a good idea. The place that we went took pictures, however they want me to pay $7.00 for a 4X6 photo! They have lost their minds! So no pictures of that! We all had a really great time! We can’t wait to go back!

Happy New Year~
Happy New Year everyone! Our family has been really busy over the last week. I hosted a New Year's party and we all had a really great time. We had a taco dinner. It worked out quite nicely and it was really good too~
The kids enjoyed playing and dancing together. Of course, I had to get in there and dance too. I love to dance - with kids or grown ups! We all had a really fun time together. It is really good to have such great friends!
Lining up the kids to eat.
